My Favorite Movie:
Oh man, I have several favorite movies, but I especially love Spirited Away.
All of Hayao Miyazaki's films are beautiful masterpieces, but Spirited Away always blows me away. I'm not normally one to like animated movies, but trust me when I say that all Miyazaki's films are much, much more than cartoons. They're really pieces of cinematic brilliance.
From Wikipedia:
Spirited Away (????????, Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi?, literally, Sen and The Spiriting Away of Chihiro) is a 2001 Japanese animated fantasy-adventure film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Studio Ghibli. The film theme is dislocation and it follows a sullen ten-year-old girl who is in the process of moving to a new neighborhood with her family, leaving her old friends and school behind, and chronicles of her adventures in a world of spirits and monsters. Miyazaki's technique as artist involves taking a child's primal wish, transporting kids to a fantasy world they cannot escape. There the viewer experiences phantasmagoric and shifting morality of dreams, fascinating and frightening aspect of having something that seems to represent good become evil.[1]
I have seen it probably 50 times and I never get tired of it. In fact, this post makes me want to watch it for the 51st time!
