Rating: - One of the best movies ever made, period.
I loved this movie, and I think you will too. This movie stands on it's own against even the best American blockbusters. This movie is not just for Anime buffs. In fact, I have yet to meet anyone who saw this movie and didn't like it.The plot of this movie is simple, it's about a young girl brought to a mystical land and her journey there. However, the beauty of this movie is not in the plot, its in how this plot is brought to life through the characters and scenes of this movie. Each scene is skillfully crafted and filled with emotion. The detail is simply amazing. The only tripping point about this movie, perhaps it's only flaw - but even then not significant - is it lack of explanations. This world in which the girl, named Chihiro, enters is never really explained in the story. This isn't a bad thing though, once your swept up in the world it won't really matter why it is there. In fact any explanation of the world might have ruined the story. It's suppose to be foreign and mysterious. If you love cinema, you owe it to yourself to check this movie out.
Rating: - Fantastic Movie!
Though I have never seen it in English, the japanese version of this movie is fantastic. It leads you in to a fantasy world beyond belief. A world of greed, where a single girl over comes all odds in order to save her parents and new friends.
Rating: - A WONDEROUS FILM
This is the kind of film one should come to expect from the Grand Master of Animation. Miyzaki sensei has created yet another wonderful film full of the rich story telling and character development we saw in Princess Mononoke. Along with the adventerous spirit of Kiki's Delevery Service. As with Kiki, Chihiro's/Sen's discovery of a new and unfiamilar world is somewhat frightening at first. But as she adjusts to her new suroundings, Sen begins to see her new world in all its intracasess. The films PG rating is right on the money. It is not for real young kids. So, parents should use their own judgement. Although I would consider this film to be something that everyone would enjoy.
