Love and beauty
The film, Spirited Away, was an interesting movie about a little girl who finds herself mixed up with a bunch of dirty spirits in a Japanese bath house. This little girl made a huge impact on everyone she met. At the same time, the people or spirits around her helped her grow and become a better person as well. At the beginning of the movie, the girl was rather shy and scared. She was not comfortable with new environments and did not want to move to the new village that she was headed toward. She and her parents discovered an abandoned amusement park and began to explore. When her parents were turned into pigs for overeating, the little girl did not know where to go or what to do. A little boy came to her rescue and helped guide her throughout her adventures in the spirit world. It seems that all the spirits were pretty dirty and needed to be cleansed at the bath house. The little girl got a job and was determined to do her best to help and eventually earn the right to get her parents back.
She ends up helping all kinds of spirits along the way and grows into a brave little girl through it all. She helps this spirit that appears to be a "stink spirit" but turns out to just be a polluted river spirit. She risks her life to save him and make him clean. He gives her a gift that she thought could help her save her parents, but she ends up using it to save the little boy and the no face spirit. They needed to be purged and the river rock helped them. The little girl made all the spirits realize they were selfish and gluttonous. She helped purify them in a great and lasting way. She did all this because she loved everyone. Her love transformed the spirit world and her own life. Love like that is what we should all strive for. Sacrificial love can heal wounds and clean the dirtiness we all have within us.
