Spirited Away

Spirited Away 

Synopsis 

Chihiro Ogino, a 10 year old girl, and her family were travelling when they came across a deserted theme park. Curiously, the family walked into the theme park to investigate. Little did they know, the area was actually inhabited by different spirits. Without knowing this, Chihiro’s parents ate the food that were supposed to be for the spirits visiting the park. This angered the spirits and Chihiro’s parents were turned to pigs while Chihiro was stuck in the world of spirits, being the only human there. She was then forced to work in a bath house within the theme park and there, her story in that world begins. 

My review 

A movie directed by the famous Hayao Miyazaki, Spirited Away is a movie that will excite many viewers of all ages. The movie takes place in a deserted place where spirits come every night to bathe and eat at the bathhouse. Chihiro was forced to work there for survival or she will be eaten by the spirits themselves. Hence, the workers help her and change her name to avoid being caught. She faced many challenges and obstacles along the way but manages to overcome them. For example, when an injured dirty river spirit came to bath, Chihiro pulled out a splinter from the spirit, cleaning him which no one dared to do. The storyline was good and I was able to understand what the story was about and also found the music very attracting. Sometimes, I listen to music more than pay attention to the movie itself. Overall, Spirited Away is a movie not to be missed as the story and the music will ensure that you keep your eyes to it. I would rate this anime movie 8.5/10.
