Thoughts & Expressions
This Movie was aired several times on Disney Channel and I always see this Movie on several sites as one of the best movies, 'Award Winning', 'Oscars', Etc.
It kept me thinking what was so special about this movie, So I decided to watch the first 5minutes before going to bed (2am), I thought that It was interesting so I then Decided to watch til 30minutes. Then 30minutes in, I was really Sleepy but my Urge to watch this Movie kept me going until I finished it. Waking up the next day I decided to rewatch it because I thought I might have missed something because of my sleepiness. (That's How good It is) Even though it is rated for Children, I recommend this to everyone. I'm 18 when I watched this but I still loved and enjoyed every bit of it.
~~
Story : 97
This
movie doesn't have the typicial story and because of that too I
recommend anyone to watch it if they haven't done it yet, because the
characters and the events that will occur in the story will make you
remember it for a long time and often think about it again. So, if you
want to watch an amazing movie with a touching, fascinating and sad
story, Spirited away is the one for you.
~~
Characters : 95
I dearly loved the characters. One of the
best parts of this movie, for me, was that it lacked any clear good or
evil characters. Everyone has a bit of both, though perhaps some allow
the evil sides of them to come out a bit more obviously than others.
In
this way, it's very realistic. Granted, the characters were all quite
predictable and Chihiro grated on my nerves at times, but overall, I
enjoyed each and every one of the characters Miyazaki has create here.
~~
Art & Animation : 90
The drawing style is great, and is only
brought to an entirely new level by the color palette, lighting, and
shadowing. You'll notice that the style is very much atypical to the
'standard anime style'. However, it is not so much so that avid anime
viewers will find themselves in an unfamiliar place.
I’ve always
like the flat tones that are given for color in anime, they are very
calming when needed, and very vibrant when needed. The animation is
crisp and and smooth. So in terms of animation and art quality, Spirited
Away has achieved an outstanding feat of greatness.
~~
Enjoyment : 100
Spirited Away is a masterpiece that excels
in every way. It may not be perfect, but it is definitely amazing in
art and sound, and the character/story development is high in quality.
No matter how many times I see the movie, I continue to enjoy it and
continue to find myself enjoying the impact of the more surprising
moments.
