Spirited Away
*just recently I was thinking that I wanted to rewatch this masterpiece, and it so happened that yesterday they started showing it in our theater as part of the festival, I’m so glad I went to the theater! It was an amazing experience for me, firstly, to watch it at a conscious age and understand the philosophical subtext and ideas that miyazaki wanted to convey was so interesting, because I saw “spirited away” several times as a child, but now this anime is perceived completely differently, and secondly, watching it on the big screen was wonderful. I really love miyazaki's animation style, his characters are so stunning and unique... and how beautifully his anime always depicts nature.> I have never read how other people interpret this film for themselves, so I don’t know whether my point of view agrees with the opinion of the majority or not, but today I spent most of the session thinking about it, because the first viewing at a conscious age gave me an opportunity to discover this anime from a completely different perspective, and I came to the conclusion that for me it is primarily about the harm of human greed. > the main character's parents were greedy in a situation when they began to eat food in the store, which they did not even buy at that moment, and literally appropriate all of it for themselves, so they were turned into pigs. in a situation where the workers in the house overfed the kaonashi, it was also a manifestation of greed on their part, because they did this because he paid them very well, and they essentially did not care about anything other than money. In general, I am sure that all employees in one way or another personify various negative qualities or sins, but greed can be seen in all of them. that is why chihiro remained human and was able to get out of there and return her parents, she did not act selfishly and greedily, even when they tried to force her to do so. miyazaki makes a very good statement here about how by thinking only about oneself and wanting one's own gain, a person harms himself.*
