It’s impossible to forget the things that have happened, but I just can’t remember... You will help me remember who I am, right?

It wasn't until Chihiro recalled the childhood memories of falling into the water of Amber River that the director wanted to use this story to carry more than we thought, including the appearance of the river god Lao Bailong was mistaken for a super-large rotten god. If human beings are greedy, they will become fat pigs if they don’t work. Granny Tang and the little monsters are no different when they come to faceless men. There are two sides to all human beings, gods and monsters, and there is no difference, except for Bailong and Bailong. Boys and girls like Chihiro. Miyazaki's greatness lies in putting the profound stories in simple situations into simple situations. It is suitable for young and old, but it can be enjoyed by interested people for a long time.
Spirited Away quotes
-
[in Japanese]
Zeniba: I'd like to help you, dear, but there's nothing I can do. It's one of our rules here. You've got to take care of your parents and that dragon boyfriend of yours, on your own.
Chihiro: But, um, can't you even give me a hint? I feel like Haku and I met, a long time ago.
Zeniba: In that case, it's easy. Nothing that happens is ever forgotten, even if you can't remember it.

[in Japanese]
Chihiro: Listen, Haku. I don't remember it, but my mom told me... Once, when I was little, I fell into a river. She said they'd drained it and built things on top. But I've just remembered. The river was called... Its name was the Kohaku River. Your real name is Kohaku.
[Haku slowly changes into a boy again, permanently shedding away his white dragon skin. The two are falling from the sky, holding each other's hands]
Haku: Chihiro, thank you. My real name is Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi.
Chihiro: Nigihayami?
Haku: Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi.
Chihiro: [starts to cry] What a name. Sounds like a god.
Haku: I remember too, how you fell into me as a child. You had dropped your shoe.
Chihiro: Yes, you carried me to shallow water, Kohaku.
[they put their faces close together, close enough to kiss]
Chihiro: I'm so grateful!
