Spirited Away tells the story of a ten-year-old girl named Chihiro and her parents who came to a village with no intention of entering a world of gods. Chihiro's parents were turned into two pigs by eating the food there. Chihiro's adventure to save her parents is a series of stories.
In the film, when night falls and Chihiro's parents are turned into pigs, Chihiro is still very young and Chihiro is frightened. So keep running. When I thought that I would be caught by those terrifying gods, a young man named Xiaobai suddenly appeared and helped Chihiro through the difficulties. So inexplicable and affection slowly grows in it.
In the world of the gods, if Chihiro wants to stay, he must find a job in the soup house.
The soup house is an extremely luxurious place. Every night when the night falls and the lights are on, there will be many gods of all kinds on luxurious ferries to come here for carnival and entertainment.
The soup house in the film is like the human world, dirty and chaotic, but it also has the light behind the darkness and the warmth under the cold. There, Qianxun met Xiaobai who helped her encourage her, the kind grandfather who burned the stove, and Xiaoling, and became good friends with her.
For her parents, and for Xiaobai, the boy who helped her. These obsessions, the young Chihiro, changed from the laziness and cowardice before, and became more brave and strong.
In the end, in a series of various adventures, Chihiro finally overcomes various difficulties and realizes her dream. At the last parting moment, Xiaobai did not go with Qianxun, but told Qianxun not to look back.
Maybe the ending of this story is not so perfect, but it also makes people feel deeply moved.
The essence of Gong's animation is that it can always show the true nature of human beings in reality through inhuman things. You can't see any face of the masked man in black. It seems that there are too many unknown dark corners of the heart hidden under the mask, and these masked people do not portray the hypocritical and hypocritical faces of human beings in reality. What? Isn't that the king of big stomachs who is always dissatisfied with his appetite and even eats "living people", is not the portrayal of the gluttons in the world? Doesn't the disgusting god of decay directly expose the double rot of spirit and body that humans who destroy themselves and the outside world will inevitably face? The big-headed baby son of Granny Tang is a symbol of the closed, morbid, deceived and ignorant people; as well as those who are not human, but not things, like frogs, toads, insects, and even more "unforgettable. "The impact and stimulate the viewer's sensory nerves. These dirty, decadent, and exhausted pictures of the end times are nothing less than a scroll of vigilance for the future of mankind!
However, in Hayao Miyazaki's films, it is by no means blindly exposing sins and evils. The supernatural carvings on the film always allow viewers to see hope and light after despair. In the film, we can still see many friendly faces or faces that still have a conscience in their hearts: here are the white dragons who fought side by side with Chihiro several times and helped him find his parents, the truth, and the truth; Xiaoling, the foreman, and Grandpa Boiler; even the two most complicated characters—the stingy and irritable Granny Tang and her sister, Granny Qian, whose revenge has turned her into a distorted character, have finally found their conscience to return.” The honest and lovely side of human nature; even the cruelty of the man-eating black-clothed demon king was vulnerable in the face of Chihiro's innocence and kindness, and turned into another image of gentleness and gracefulness. These lively and multi-layered characters , warns people, hope still exists, hope is not elsewhere, it is in your hands and my heart is Chihiro moving and changing everything in the ghost city with kindness, sincerity and love. Isn't the fire that never goes out, just love?
The highlight of the film is not on any screen, but the name of the little protagonist Chihiro. Careful viewers must be able to see the first clue: Chihiro represents the pursuit and search of human beings thousands of times, thousands of years, and thousands of miles. , to search for the truth and essence of life, to search for the truest self in the heart, which also represents the good intentions of the filmmaker, through the girl Qianxun, who is willing to lead all those who watch this film to find together.
