In addition to ideologically "Spirited Away" can cross national boundaries and bring spiritual comfort to people of different cultural backgrounds, the characteristics of the Japanese nation shown in the animation are also a major attraction, that is, the integration of Eastern and Western cultures. The place where the story takes place is the "oil house"-a bathhouse with Japanese classical characteristics, but there are elevators, trams, and a lot of modern garbage in it. This is a typical Japanese portrayal: on the one hand, it continues to absorb Western culture, on the other hand, it retains the country's most traditional classical features. The more national, the more global. The culture of a nation shows the characteristics and individual beauty of an independent nation. Today, in addition to paying attention to cross-cultural communication and the development of common civilization, people have a special liking for unfamiliar and traditional national cultures, which can be said to capture a kind of national sentiment. "Spirited Away" can take the world by storm, and is inseparable from the display of its unique Japanese cultural background. 
"Spirited Away" is a great work dedicated to children by Hayao Miyazaki. The children will eventually grow up. When facing the big bath-like society that is covered by black smoke, moisture, and desire, Can you muster the courage, not forget your original intention, and reap the best? 
"Spirited Away" conveys the author's understanding of social life and relationships: the discovery of vitality comes from communication with the society, and mutual assistance and care are the keys to breaking loneliness and finding oneself. From the perspective of the protagonist's adventures, the film may be a very "plain" work by Miyazaki. Chihiro’s fantasy adventure is so plain that every adult can see his childhood memories in her tears and laughter.
"Spirited Away" is an animated cartoon that reflects multiple themes. The audience can snoop on the irony of greed and selfishness, as well as the importance of independent growth, and even the harmony between man and nature.

    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!
