Anyhoo, the movie starts off
with a young girl named Chihiro and her family just moving into a
small, quaint town after some problems in the city. Chihiro is a bit
depressed because of all of this not just because she has to move,
but she left all of the few friends that she had. The family try to
take a shortcut to their new home but end up taking a dead end to
an abandoned theme park. This is where all the trouble comes in when
Chihiro leaves her parents (who are gobbling up food) and finds what
seems to be an abandoned bath house. Well, she figures out wrong and
enters the spirit world (it's actually the god world in the original
version, but showing it in the U.S. and all, you have to censor that
part somehow: hence the title Spirited Away) where she meets
Haku. Chihiro has to find her way back to her own world and save her
parents in the process. And that's where I will leave off.
This movie is filled with humor,
utter WAFF, and some more humor. Nope, it's not as bloody as Princess
Mononoke. It's more like Laputa. You have to root for some
characters and then despise others while laugh your heart out at Chihiro
running into walls ^^. I highly recommend watching this movie. And
a warning to fanfiction writers who are writing at least three stories
or more at once: be aware of the cliffhanger.
