Sen to Chihiro’s Spirited Away
Have you seen the movie “Spirited Away” (or Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi) from the director Hayao Miyazaki? No, not surprising considering the poor job Disney has done in making it available to the American audience. Some writers have seen it and are wondering about Disney’s intensions with this movie. I live in Japan and have my own copy of the DVD for the movie. The DVD was released with an auxiliary English subtitle, unusual for a Japanese film. This movie has peaked the attention of an international audience. Going as far as picking up a Golden Bear in the Berlin film festival. My two cents, this movie is great, maybe the best I’ve seen this year. Go to Amazon.com and get on the list to be notified of the DVD release and maybe word will get out that people want to see this movie. If you have kids or you are a kid (like me) find a movie theater and go see this movie.
