David Wilder - Free Topic 5: Spirited Away

I thought it was a pretty good movie. This is the third time I've seen the movie, so the events weren't a surprise to me. I did find myself smirking a bit as I heard people around me a little confused or guessing on events that wouldn't happen. Nevertheless, I did notice a few things I had not noticed before. I had not noticed the headband glitter in the final scene. It means a lot more now. I also had not realized the connection between day and night, and off the layers leading to the bathhouse from the human world: the tunnel, river, steps, and bridge. I also didn't really pay attention to the eating and food themes presented in the movie. This was mainly because I had previously viewed the movie as entertainment, and not critically.
