It's actually really hard to understand for me. There's way too many things going on at once, way too many symbolism put into one movie. No-Face, water spirit, Yubaba, Haku, pigs, frogs, blaaaah.
But one thing I know is: the relationship between Haku and Chihiro is just so freaking adorable. They're so young (maybe not Haku, he is a spirit after all), and they're just so in love! Young love, of course. But it's just so cute to watch.
I love how Chihiro is able to walk all the way back and actually not look back. She believed when he said , "don't worry, we'll see each other soon enough." Somehow, for some reason, she believed it. Personally, those words won't reassure me. I'll want to look back. I will look back. But she was so strong and kept her faith. That's what so young and adorable about her.
There's nothing more to say, because I'm freakin' sleepy and I can't think. I need to go to sleep.
I really have to write about this movie. My heart tells me to do so.
Don't worry about spoilers. I'll make them orange so you can see them and dodge around them (or unintentionally read them).
Here, watch the trailer:
I don't think I'm a high-pitched squealing little girl (I hope not), but I'm not some cold-hearted stone faced girl either. I won't lie, I get scared pretty easily.
But this movie was more funny than scary.
Esther, oh Esther, you made me laugh so much.
One of the best moments went something like this: Kate (mom): When adults love each other, we like to show it. Esther (orphan): I know. You fuck.
Writing that made me giggle. Hehe. Hahaha.
Some other funny moments: - When Esther walked through the kitchen when the mom and the dad were having sex. - When Kate (the mom) bitch-slapped Esther in the hospital. The audience started clapping. - When Esther dressed like a whore and put on whore makeup and started hitting on the father.
And to add to that, the person I was sitting next to (my sister) made a comment about every single thing that happened in the movie. "Wow, she's an amazing artist." "She's a really strong woman!" "Oh no don't fall! Oh well, at least it was snow." "Jump! Why are you holding on?! Jump!!!!!" "Oh I know what happens! I saw this part in the trailer." And so on...
So all in all, the movie was filled with, "hahaha, what?" and "ew, blood" moments. At least for me.
One thing though. The ending sucked! No, don't worry, I'm not talking about the ending of the story. I'm talking about the end of Esther. It ended in the same way as The Ring 2. With the exact same lines and the exact same kick.
Ah well. I guess originality is hard to find nowadays.
So, go watch the movie with your friends! It'll make you laugh, I promise!!
Peace and love <# P.S. Those are flowers up there.
I know UP is a Disney-Pixar movie, but it's so darn amazing!
One of the sweetest quotes:
The boring moments are the moments I remember the most. (or something similar)
I thought the movie was really funny and cute, but very meaningful at the same time. I cried in the beginning, the middle, and the end. It was sad and really happy.
One of the cutest, funniest, saddest and happiest movies I've ever seen. Everything about the movie is just beautiful.
