Girl, please cherish the "faceless people" around you.

In Spirited Away, what impressed me the most was not the more frustrated Spirited Away, nor the little white dragon, the Prince Charming, but the man without a name and appearance. He said very little, he did a lot, he was silent, but he was in love.


I don't know where he came from, but from the beginning, he chose to stand beside Qianxun and watch her silently.

He stood alone in the rain, and Chihiro, who was wiping the floor, found him. She said to him, are you afraid of getting wet while standing there? I left this door open. He didn't say anything, but I read a thousand words from his immutable expression. Is it thanks? maybe.

Chihiro needed a medicated bath, but the person in charge of the medicated bath refused to give it. The faceless man quietly designed a game, distracted that person, and successfully stole the potion. He silently guarded Chihiro, showing up whenever he could help, but he didn't want her to give anything back.

Chihiro prepared hot water for the guests, and the faceless monster handed her a lot of potions. At first, Chihiro said no, but later said that only one would be fine, but he insisted on giving her all of them. In the end, he simply left, leaving only the potion scattered on the ground.

Yes, she only helped him once, and he was determined to help her silently since that time. The so-called grace of dripping water is rewarded by the spring. Whether he is grateful or admired for her feelings, everything he has done for her is enough to move people.


When the frog said that he was not like a guest, the faceless man gave it gold sand. It immediately opened his eyes when he saw the money. It jumped into his hand, wanting to get more gold sand, but he ate it mercilessly. . It was its greed that harmed it, just as the greed of Chihiro's parents harmed themselves.

When everyone saw his possessions, they all rushed to them. They offered the richest food in exchange for gold from him, but he never looked at them. But when he saw Chihiro, his hollow eyes looked full of love and pity. He conjured a lot of gold and handed it to her, but she just kept shaking her head and said she didn't want it. Said she had other things, so she had to leave. The gold in his hand instantly fell to the ground, and I seemed to see the tears in his eyes. He can give her, maybe only these, but she doesn't want, nothing. He held his sincere heart in front of her, but she didn't cherish it. What she was thinking of was Xiao Bai, another person, not him.


Without Chihiro, the faceless figure was like a wayward child, turning the whole room upside down. The mother-in-law told Chihiro to please him as much as possible and squeeze the gold from him. As for the faceless monster, he gave her delicious food and the money that he could not use up. He said to Chihiro, I only give it to you, not to others. Chihiro just looked at him, didn't speak, he was so good to her, he was only good to her, but she was angry with him, angry at the brutality he committed.

He asked her, what do you want, and I will give you whatever you want. She said, you should go back to where you came from. You can't give me what I want. She asked him, where is your home, do you have parents? As if he was about to cry, he plunged his head into his body and said silently, no, no, I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely. He didn't know where he came from, he just kept saying, I want Xiaoqian, I want Xiaoqian. In fact, what he wants is not Xiao Qian, what he wants is someone who treats him sincerely not because he is greedy for his money. He likes Xiaoqian, nothing to do with love, just because she is kind to him, just because she is more kind and sincere than others.

And Chihiro actually gave him the only half pill she had left, which she used to save her parents. The faceless man took the pill and began to vomit desperately. He chased Qianhiro closely, but he was actually chasing a kind of innocence. He vomited out the people he had swallowed, he gave them new life and set them free. At the same time, he also got a new life.


Chihiro got on the boat and was about to leave here, and she saw a faceless person looking at her. She said that he learned badly when he came here, and she wanted to take him away. He followed her silently, always like this, she could see him as soon as she turned her head. When the train came, he got on with Chihiro. He stood in the middle of the car at a distance and looked at Chihiro. He didn't sit down quietly until she said it. He is so obedient, so well-behaved, so understanding.

He followed her to Granny Qian's place, he was so clumsy, knitting the woolen yarn into the hair rope that Qianxun needed. The moment Chihiro and Xiao Bai reunited was the moment he should disappear. He stayed with Mother-in-law Qian and became her assistant, which might be his best destination. The only regret is that Chihiro said thank you and goodbye to her mother-in-law, but never said the same to the faceless man from beginning to end. Although he doesn't need her to repay anything, but I think if he can hear her say thank you, if she can say goodbye to herself, he will definitely watch her run towards happiness without regrets.

I think they are not really different. The Faceless Man has turned into Chihiro-ori's headband, and continues to protect her in her world silently.

When she encounters difficulties and wants to give up, when she can't make up her mind, as soon as she sees the hair rope, she will remember everything in that world, and she will be full of courage. This is not a dream, and she, after experiencing all this, has really grown up.


In every girl’s heart, she is looking forward to such a person, who will accompany you far away, protect you, listen to you silently, ready to appear when you need it most, but never ask you Something. He is very reserved in love. Many times, he is even by your side, but you never noticed it.

After watching this film, I just want to say, girl, please cherish the "faceless people" around you.
