Thread: Spirited Away

I thought it was pretty interesting, although some aprts of it made me somewhat confused, overall i'd gite it a B+

Miyazaki's animations are very original and thoughtful... you can find a lot of deep statements as you're either smiling or crying... it's so innocent and cute and funny.. or really touching and sad... ah it's just so good isn't there a new film by him out in the theatres now? if anyone's seen it how does it compare to spirited away?

ive heard that there was one coming out but i dont know what its called...does anyone know?

Yes Yes Yes!!!!!!! Have you seen His other work.... Like kiki's delivery service, or castle in the sky? Or princess mononoke? I could go on forever!

i really like spirited away. but ive seen his most recent movie "Howels Moving Castle" its fantastic!!!


Spoilers ahead be warned!!!!









as in all of miasakis past films the two main characters (like chihiro and haku) or the the couple in the moive(like the heroen and th hero) never kiss. well i went to the screening of "Howles Moving Castle" and in this movie the couple kiss...not once....but twice!!!! i was so happy!

I love it....Miyazaki is a great animation director....all his movies are so creative and fun....I want to see the next one....Howles Moving Castle....

The Movie is Howl's Moving Castle, which is discused in this thread located here...
Howl's Moving Castle Clips & Trailers

Having seen the movie last week, IMHO it's in the same class as 'Spirited Away'. The story pacing, and it's sense of wonder, is very simular to 'Spirited Away'. But How's Moving Castle is also very much a 'retro' experiance in Miyazaki films, as I see alot of artistic design simularities in the cities with 'Laputa, Castle in the Sky'. The aircraft designs, and the animation of Howl's castle have alot in common with 'Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind'...
