Movie Review : Spirited Away

                                            

Hey those who read this blog. I know I havn't blogged in a while and I'm sorry for that. Sometimes I really and truly don't know what to say which is why I don't blog everyday, though I wish I could. Anyways in this post I am going to review a movie that I've been wanting to see and saw yesterday called Spirited Away. For those of you that don't know by now I am a crazy anime/ manga fan and I heard that this movie was really good so I decided to watch it. It won the Academy Award in 2003 for best Animated Picture which is another reason I wanted to watch it .The movie is about a young girl named Chihiro who ends up in a magical world when her and her parents get distracted and go inside a mysterious tunnel. When they go inside the parents think they have stumbled upon and abandoned amusement park, but of course there is more than what meets the eye. When the hungry parents smell food in the distance they follow the scent hoping to be fed. When they find the source of the food they begin to eat voracious amounts of it. Chihiro refuses to eat the food, and later on she discovers that her parents have been turned into pigs. It turns out the place is not an abandoned amusement park but a bathhouse for spirits. With the help of a new friend named Haku it is up to Chihiro to find a way to turn her parents back to humans and return to the human world.

This movie is a story of courage and bravery I personally loved the movie. I thought that it was well crafted and very cute. Anime movies rarely disappoint when it comes to graphics and animation. There were parts of the movie that were amazing to watch and enjoy visually. I loved the character of Chihoro and how she starts out looking like a frail, scared girl but ends the movie looking brave and couragous. I give this movie 4.5/5.
