Spirited away

This was quite an adventurous movie! I have never seen a japanese animated film, and this being my first, it was so fun and exciting! I found myself very intrigued in the plot and was very interested in the deeper meaning behind the message underlying in this film. I feel society nowadays is very greedy, including adults and children. From the start, it shows the little girl throwing a small tantrum because she did not want to move to a new city. She is also seen throwing a tantrum when she doesn't want her parents to go down the tunnel. She is spoiled like many children today. Greed is also seen when the parents are devouring the food when they have not asked to eat it nor did they pay for it upfront! And their greed turned them into pigs. This little girl was on a mission to save her parents and then her new friend, Haku. She started off as a spoiled little girl and was then forced to face all her fears and save her loved ones. This quite a transformation for this spoiled little girl. I also liked how the director showed how young children seem to have a sixth sense when it comes to ghosts/spirits. I have always heard this and now after watching the film i can somewhat believe that. It was obvious her parenta did not trust her instincts about this place freaking her out, and in real life, i feel like parents do not listen to their children enough. The director was trying to send out many messages in this film for all ages. I would definitely love to see another film by this director!
