SEN & CHIHIROS: SPIRITED AWAY

I created a heroine who is an ordinary girl, someone with whom the audience can sympathize. It's not a story in which the characters grow up, but a story in which they draw on something already inside them, brought out by the particular circumstances. I want my young friends to live like that, and I think they, too, have such a wish. HAYAO MIYAZAKI

COMMENT

A film is over the Universal Love.

You provoke new emotions and forgotten sentiments. The imagery emit magic, they are very realist Becoming absorbed in history, living each one of the episodes along with the heroine.
