It feels like a Disney fantasy, that's the reason why it got so popular back in the day. As for the movie being great, I would say it's pretty good, not great though, atleast not the greatest. There's better movies than Spirited Away but I'm sure it was great for its own time. |
| What's wrong with disney movies? |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| Lots of people, me included, grew up on this and other ghibli movies so nostalgia is also a contributing factor |
| Thematically dense with many powerful messages relating to mindless consumerism and the negative effects of Capitalism in Japan/Globally. It's WAY more relevant today than when the movie first came out as well so it's aged like fine wine in my opinion. The directing, pacing and production quality is stellar across the board so I think it deserves to be considered one of the greatest films of all time. |
| I need you people to stop saying there's no substance in this film and comparing it to a Disney film. Disney has never made a film this thoughtful and important in it's entire backlog. Please respect Miyazaki and studio Ghibli, this is embarrassing. If you didn't understand the film, just take 5 minutes to look into it and you will realize it's very on the nose with it's ideas. |
| For me Spirited Away together with Howl's Moving Castle are the greatest movies if all time. It's okay if you don't like it and I don't think you would change your mind even if I'd listed all the things I love about Spirited Away. And btw, I love everything about it. You can Ask everyone what's so great about it but if you're don't feel it now, you probably never will. |
| tbh so boring movie |
 |
| Yeah I don’t understand what is so great about it as well. Or any other Bible film that I have seen. Besides the directing and production it was just a big bawl of nothing. |
| yeah honestly most overrated ghibli movie but still not terrible |
Its my fav Ghibhli film and thats saying a lot. so everything. |
Rogan26 said: I just watched this movie. i dont get what is so great in this. it just feels like a disney movie. am i missing something. plz tell me It's not about being a Disney movie . This kovie is about 2p years old and at that time it had good animations which was ahead of its time . Hayak Miyazaki is also worldwide popular . So people thinks this of a masterpiece because it was made by Miyazaki + great animations . Don't know about the story tho . Seemed completely overrated with a simple story |
Complex Stories are basically sleeping pills . Helps to get some sleep . |
| I'm not surprised it's popular. The animation is genuinely creative and gorgeous, and in a deeply memorable manner. The music is good and fits the movie well. Now is it an overrated film? Yeah, absolutely. Narratively, it's an absolute mess. Miyazaki tried to write a fairy tale, but didn't understand the main point behind them. The script is amateurish, filled with deus ex machina, magic MacGuffins, and even some bad plot holes. But a lot of viewers can ignore (or don't even notice) that in favor of how deeply beautiful the movie is, and that's especially true if they were very young when they saw "Spirited Away". |
