SPIRITED AWAY

HAYAO MIYAZAKI IS A TRUE GENIUS. I just watched this animated feature from probably one of the most proficient filmmaker/cartoonist in the world; Spirited Away will surely take your breath away. Just open your mind and let the genius himself take you to a world that will leave you breathless. Everyone's gonna love her little heroine Chihiro, a 10-year old girl who started as a whiny and pessimistic daughter and yet, as she was trapped in this magical scary world of ghosts ruled by the obnoxious witch Yubaba and with the help of a boy that can turn into a dragon named Haku, her real strength came out being a loving, sincere and determined person as she is. Miyazaki's Spirited Away is visually enthralling as it is imaginatively permeating in delivering the plot that is highly entertaining, scary, poignant and adorable all at the same time. This film has a true sense of wonderment; a very thoughtul one that will leave the audience jaw-dropped because encountering of rather new and ultimately amazing makes one think of the world differently. Spirited Away won an Academy Award for being outstanding anim ated feature; the very first anime film to win an Oscar. In Japan, Spirited Away surpassed the box-office success of the movie Titanic as the highest grossing film in the Japanese History. A highly engrossing film from the same director who made other m asterpieces like Howl's Moving Castle and Ponyo. THIS IS AN ANIMATION AT ITS BEST!
