I'm embarrassed to say that I've never seen this film. I have long known of its power and brilliance but--much like with a huge stack of to-be-read books--for some reason I've never gotten to it.
Thanks for the reminder for me to actually go watch this and also the added depth on what the story is speaking to.
Enchanting Isolation.
Beautiful write up. Even in the solitude and loneliness of a spirit world, a soul is still seeking to connect.
It's so amazing how you beautifully captured the message in words that Miyazaki tried to show through the atmosphere of his works.
A very special film. Miyazaki's Shinto symbolism always digs deep and explores our humanity.
Thanks for the wonderful review!
Another perceptive take. I adore Spirited Away so much. It may be time to rewatch it again.
