Dedicated to Chihiro's Faceless Monster

I don't know if this is the first time I've watched Chihiro. Over and over, I'll always find it on a day when I'm idle and empty inside.
I used to be at home, bored in my room, turned off the lights, found a comfortable position, and cried while watching.
My mother watched it with me many times, she didn't understand why I was so obsessed with this film.
It seems that since I started collecting stationery, stickers, and comics at the age of 10, every summer and winter vacation, I will turn out my childhood collections in an afternoon, read it again, and read it again. It's like flipping through the letters between middle school and friends. I read it once a year, and I get a lot of emotion every year.
Xue is right, in Mr. Miyazaki's films there is always a girl who is not pretty, a weirdo, and then a journey. In fact, a person will always feel fear when reading Mr.'s works, although the ending is full of moving.
I love Chihiro's faceless monster, I believe he is Chihiro's guardian, he just doesn't know how to express his feelings. I love him more than Xiaobai.
It seems that the father of Jinyu Ji is also a weirdo, but his heart is full of love.
It is not princesses and princes that deserve to be praised in works of art, but humble mortals who have love in their hearts but are ashamed to express them, and can only be a shadow guarding and admiring people.
Some people say that looking at Qianxun always reminds me of when I was a child, when I was forgotten by my parents, when I was locked in my home alone, or when I was bullied by children but never dared to fight back.
I think Mr. should have a beautiful but dark childhood, and there is always some lingering pain left in his heart, so even in the innocent children of animation, loneliness, fear, and those unspeakable sadness can still be seen.
Childhood experiences can affect the whole life, inner vulnerability or insecurity. In the future, he will still be unable to face his younger self calmly.
The sun will still rise tomorrow, but it still can't erase the darkness in my heart.
A warm ending gives people strength, just don't let go of the past easily.
Everyone is a small person, everyone is ignored, everyone is a faceless monster.
I love Faceless, I love that ordinary and young self.

    It's an adult animation again, and it is estimated that it is difficult for most Chinese audiences to experience it.

    Spirited Away is my favorite anime movie. I like Hayao Miyazaki's movies, Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, etc. I like this kind of anime movie that tells the relationship between people and nature. I think Spirited Away tells us that one can't be too greedy, it will only harm oneself in the end. It also tells us the warmth and love in the world.

Spirited Away quotes

  • Chihiro: You don't remember your name?

    Haku: No, but for some reason I remember yours.

  • No-Face: [offering a bowl of food] Try this. It's delicious. Want some gold? I'm not giving it to anybody else!

    [approaching her]

    No-Face: Come closer, Sen. What would you like? Just name it.

    Chihiro: I would like to leave, sir; there's some place I need to go to right away, please. You should go back to where you came from. Yubaba doesn't want you in the bath house any longer. Where is your home? Don't you have any friends or family?

    No-Face: [sulking] No... no... I'm lonely... I'm lonely.

    Chihiro: [backing away] What is it that you want?

    No-Face: I want Sen... I want Sen...

    [shoving a handful of gold in front of her]

    No-Face: Take the gold! Take it!

    Chihiro: Are you going to eat me?

    No-Face: Take it!

    [Boh bites him]

    No-Face: Huh? Ow.

    [attempts to swat Boh, but misses]

    Chihiro: If you want to eat me, eat this first. I was going to save it for my parents, but I think you'd better have it.

    [feeds No-Face the medicine. No-Face starts to vomit everywhere]

    No-Face: ...Sen! Sen, what did you do to me?
