Rated "PG" for "Some Scary Moments"

Picture
Hope you had a spooky Halloween, friends! Instead of reviewing a film that'll make you wet yourself with fright, we're going to take a look at one of my old favorites, one of the few movies that can make me smile whenever I watch it. "Spirited Away", much like "FLCL", reminds me of what it was like to be on the cusp of young adulthood, comfortable still being called a child but faced with responsibilities and pressures that you never dreamed would fall upon your shoulders.

How scary can you get?

A brief overview: this movie was a really big deal when I was young. The adults in my life knew about it before I did and were just as excited to watch it, because even in 2003 you would have to be living under a rock to never have heard of Hayao Miyazaki. Often compared to Walt Disney and Steven Spielberg, Miyazaki is known for his stellar storytelling prowess, his artistic and creative vision, his penchant towards female protagonists, and his ability to appeal to children without shunning adults. "Spirited Away" was the first anime film to win an Oscar, and argueably kick-started an anime rennaissance in the west that lasted a good decade.

It's not even a question: "Spirited Away" deserves all the praise it got. And I made a drinking game for it and it's PERFECT, possibly one of the best ones I've made. So get ready for a nice, hot soak; you're about to bathe in beauty and charm.
