Spirited Away
We were planning to watch a Japanese animated film named Spirited Away. My initial reaction was, this is surely something which is watched by kids. Surely we, were a little too old for watching this kind of stuff? Well, persistence did pay off, in this regard.
Spirited away is simply beautiful. It literally takes your breath away. the film centers around the adventures of a little girl, Chihiro and her foray into a strange land, with her parents. By an amazing twist, her parents are turned into pigs, and she sets out on an amazing adventure to bring them back to normalcy and to ensure that she can realize her true potential, and additionally seek true love in the bargain.
The film is mysterious, sinister and compelling all at once. There is an amazing smorgasbord of emotions........love, life laughter, cynicism, trust and faith which are interwoven into the very fiber of the film. This is all about trust between Chihiro and her friend Haku, who rescues her, predictably from all the evil forces which surround her, and it is truly mesmerizing how Chihiro repays this debt.
This film is a must-watch. This has been highly recommended by rotten tomatoes( all the film fanatics must be aware of the tomato meter) Moreover, this film is a sheer delight to watch....highly recommended.
