Ok, this is my last paper to do for English. I don't have time to watch a never-before-seen film, so I'll do it on a movie I don't watch constantly--but one I really like! ^_^ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPIRITED AWAY From the creator of Hayao Miyazaki comes his latest animated film, "Spirited Away". This is a film that is a "wonderfully welcoming work of art that's as funny and entertaning as it is brilliant, beautiful and deep" (Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal). This movie is filled with fascinating animation and epic adventure inside a fantasy world. It's truly a masterpiece! The story begins with young girl named Chihiro. She and her parents are moving to a new home and Chihiro hates the idea. The young girl is particularly whiney and has very little confidence, but that all changes once she's forced to use the courage she thought she never had. Upon taking a wrong turn in the family car, Chihiro and her parents find their way into a dimension of spirits. When her parents undergo a mysterious transformation, the young girl must rely on her courage and love to free herself and her family to the outside world. Throughout the entire story, Chihiro meets several characters--both good and bad. Yubaba the witch, Yubaba's twin sister Zeniba, a bathhouse worker named Lin, the spirit 'No Face', Kamaji the boilerman, Haku the dragonboy and...there are so many more! Yet, as the story twists and turns, you don't know who befriends Chiriho and who plots against her. This is not a story about good versus evil, however, it is a story about survival. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's all I got so far, I'll have to do more later. |

Well, I'm glad this movie is common to most people. Even my classmate friends know this movie. Good thing too because I love this movie as well as some other Miyazaki has created(like Princess Mononoke and Castle in the Sky). :] So, I'm back. I have to turn this in THURSDAY. So, I'll be doing lots on this today. ;] My additions or changes will be in bold. ^_^ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPIRITED AWAY From the creator of Hayao Miyazaki comes his latest animated film, "Spirited Away". This is a film that is a "wonderfully welcoming work of art that's as funny and entertaning as it is brilliant, beautiful and deep" (Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal). This movie is filled with fascinating animation and epic adventure inside a fantasy world. It's truly a masterpiece! The story begins with a young girl named Chihiro. She and her parents are moving to a new home and Chihiro hates the thought. The young girl is particularly whiney and has very little confidence, but that all changes once she's forced to use the courage she thought she never had. Upon taking a wrong turn in the family car, Chihiro and her parents find their way into a dimension of spirits. When her parents undergo a mysterious transformation, the young girl must rely on her courage and love to free herself and her family to the outside world. Throughout the entire story, Chihiro meets several characters--both good and bad. Yubaba the witch, Yubaba's twin sister Zeniba, a bathhouse worker named Lin, the spirit 'No Face', Kamaji the boilerman, Haku the dragonboy and...there are so many more! Yet, as the story twists and turns, you don't know who befriends Chiriho and who plots against her. This is not a story about good versus evil, however, it is a story about survival. When I first saw this film, I was half-way expecting to see the ordinary animated effects and character attitudes of your basic cartoons. I was completely wrong. The characters in this film are drawn with so much detail and they are played out so well by their voice actors and/or actresses, you would assume they were real. Chihiro is not a stunningly beautiful girl, she was made to be the average ten-year old. Yet, her beauty is expressed by her actions you later see in the film. The other characters, too, are given certain details, frames, attitudes and voices that explain their roles in the story--as well as show you just how bizarre the spirit world really is.
The scenery was also something else that left me in astonishment. In your basic animated cartoons, you usually see the characters in places over and over again. The rooms you see or even the outside areas that are shown are not all that well drawn or detailed. Even the more mature animated shows can have low-quality descrptions. In "Spirited Away", it's the complete opposite. Even at the very beginning of the film, there is fantasticly drawn areas. When Chihiro enters the spirit realm, you see enormous hills with long blades of grass and the breeze sways it as if its a dream land. When you see the bathhouse for the first time, it's incredibly detailed with colors and depth in the structure. Inside the bathhouse itself, though, you see even more surprising rooms and places that were made. Even the water in this film is highly advanced.
Like with Miyazaki's other animated films, graphics concerning the characters are enhanced greatly. In a particular scene, Haku returns to the bathhouse were Chihiro is working. While in his dragon form, he squirms about through the air and water as Chihiro notices him. Strange things, which appear as birds to the young girl, are chasing Haku and purposely harming him. Chihiro calls for him and, in an insane fashion, Haku thrusts himself towards her. Eventually, he crashes into the female, bathhouse worker room and Chihiro realizes he is bleeding badly. Blood drips from his mouth, bleeding from within. And when Haku suddenly flies out, blood is splattered onto the windows and railing of the bathhouse. The graphics for the blood, and even the pain Haku is enduring, is well detailed. "Spirited Away" is not sickeningly graphic, but parental guidance is suggested for some of the more described scenes like this one. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll return shortly to write more. ^_^ I just wanted to take a break real quick. |

I'm finishing it TODAY... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPIRITED AWAY From the creator of Hayao Miyazaki comes his latest animated film, "Spirited Away".

The graphics for the blood, and even the pain Haku is enduring, is well detailed. "Spirited Away" is not sickeningly graphic, but parental guidance is suggested for some of the more mature scenes like this one. The music in "Spirited Away" is another awesome part of this movie. The music is orchestrated and in a fashion that suites the characters or situation they are in. The music, however, is used wisely. There are certain scenes when there is no music and this draws your attention to what is occurring--gives you a sense of real life in the film. When music is present, however, it gives life to the scene. This movie can best be described as mysterious and the music certainly fits it.
Overall, "Spirited Away" is a spectacular animated creation. If you are a fan of animated works, I highly recommend this film. It has fantasy, it has adventure and it even has love. This movie will touch your heart like no other! |
