Spirited Away

First Impressions

My first impression on this film is i think that it was quite good, because of the ratings of this film is quite high. After i watched it actually i was very impressed by this film, the moral values contain in this film is actually relating to our real world.

What i like in this film?

I like the film that it shows the reflection of the real world, for example this film shows that how humans handle and changed the environment of the natural world and ignored the consequences and also how people was driven by greed.

           There are many scenes shows that human has changed the environment, at the starting of the film Chihiro's father says that "There's no doubt. This is a theme park. In the 90's there were lots of plans for them, but many didn't succeed.” Which kind of shows how human destroy the environment and abandoned it after the business went down, and another scene is that the ancient river spirit who were seems to be a stink spirit is because it shows how polluted the river is because of human dumping rubbish and wastes into it. 

              In the film there is also many scenes show us about the characters greed for money or gold, for example Chihiro’s father says that “Don’t worry, you’ve got Daddy here. He’s got credit cards and cash.” which shows how we human react when we are wealthy and think that wealth can pay for lack of respect and manners. Second scene is that Yubaba “You humans always make a mess of things. Like your parents who gobbled up the food of the spirits like pigs. They got what they deserved.” which kind of  tell that when you got too greedy there will be consequences. Another scene is that when Haku says “You still haven’t noticed that something precious to you has been replaced.” to Yubaba, the first thing Yubaba look is the pile of gold on her table then only realize her baby was not Boh, the greed has leave her nothing but dirt. Which shows how people are greed for money or gold and lost what was precious to them.

            Lastly, i also really like how the director create the characters, which is every character has a bad side and a good side, for example starting of the film Chihiro is like an annoying child, she only reveal her better side after she become Sen. Even Lin, Kamaji and Zeniba at first they met they kind of show their bad side but in the end they become the one who really help Chihiro to escapes from the bathhouse. These kind of style really makes the character more interesting because it kind of reflects real person which is not all people are clearly divide good or evil, which make this film kind of different from most of the film genre where clearly divides the character good or evil.

Will I Recommend it?

Yes! I will recommend it, because the film has very good character development and the theme of the film is very well developed too. I personally really like the theme of  environment, and the character didn't clearly divides the character good or evil makes the film very interesting.
