Spirited Away

The first anime I ve watched. To me, there s no difference between films and anime, the structure is the same, only the visual style differs. I think I chose one of the best anime. Looking at other people's impressions of the film, I noticed that most were captivated by the story. It s true that it was primarily made for children, but naturally, the idea behind it mattered more to me. Starting with the technical side, it s perfect. How could it be lacking when the plots were hand-drawn over months? Miyazaki symbolically depicts how a child grows and what it means to be a mature adult. One of my favorite things is seeing directors express their own ideas through film. Miyazaki shows those who get trapped by the system and the perspective of someone entering a new system. He believes that a person's childlike side should remain within them, and as they grow, they should retain this quality. Most of what we call "adults" tend to running toward what the system presents to them, losing their identity and desires. Miyazaki critiques this.Those attached to money or material things are shown as weak and ordinary, while those independent of such things are shown as strong. Im very glad I watched it. I will continue exploring anime, especially Miyazaki's works.
