千與千尋之神隱
| Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi | Spirited Away
"For the people who used to be
10 years old,
and the people who are going to be 10 years old."
--Hayao Miyazaki
Ghibli's newest release is a fantasy adventure with
a ten year-old girl, which starts in everyday Japan
but goes somewhere very different. For young Chihiro
and her family, a mysterious tunnel and haunted town
lead to the Land of Spirits, inhabited by gods and monsters
and ruled by the greedy witch Yu-baba. Chihiro's
parents are transformed into pigs; to rescue them, she
must surrender her name and serve in this world.
Luckily she finds friends and allies, including the
handsome but mysterious boy Haku. Initially sulky
and listless, Chihiro (or Sen, as she's now called)
finds inner strengths and establishes an identity in
this strange world. But can she win back her name
and return home?
introduction from www.nausicaa.net
This is another good one, but i feel that is a bit
short in the movie length. Do you know that "Sen
to Chihiro no Kamikakushi" passed "Titanic"
to claim the top spot in the Japanese Box Office record
book?
