"A human! You're in trouble!" -Lin
Here are few haiku's the express my thoughts on Spirited Away
Capitalism
Greed was death to the Kami
Rivers don't return
Could we be the pigs?
Does a trough fill our spirit?
Insatiable hole
Childhood ends in choice
The looking glass goes one-way
"Hei-sei" not "Rei-Wa"
In short, Spirited away is deep and wonderfully strange. 18 years on it is still jarring and relevant. Thought I am not sure how children feel about it. I'd have to ask them. I was not a child at the time, and that sensibility has not returned.
4.19 out of 5 stars.
