take me away

8:54 PM spirited away has gotta be one of the best film i have ever seen.. or the best.. even howl's moving castle was like dull as compared to spirited away.. honestly.. hayao miyazaki works rules man.. the art is so nice.. all the details in the surroundings.. be it in the sky or the bathhouse , where the main story unfolds.. you'll just get lost in the story man.. there are little little meanings behind all the films.. though it is quite an old film.. erm 5 years old?? but.. it was simply great.. =D thumbs up from xiu hui.. learned quite a lot of stuff from just the film.. you may think that i'm stupid.. where got people learn stuff from movies?!?!? they are just movies/ films!! for entertainment.. but it was DAMN good ah!!!!! even it was just for entertainment..

its amazing how they portray the greed of human through pigs.. gorging and stuff themselves with food and the sheer size they become.. all the greed made them into something else that they might even forgot who they are in the first place..there was also the case of the employees in the bathouse.. despite all the dangers being eaten up or whatsoever.. they would want to get the gold that the no-face rich monster gave.. and in the end.. the gold was just dirt.. its quite true if you apply in the real world.. sometimes.. people would go all lengths just to get something that they want or become so obsessed that they lose out on what is the real mean behind.. or worse, putting themselves in the danger of doing so..

then there was the no-faced monster.. he wanted company.. and he found that in sen.. hence he stayed in the bathouse.. hoping to get the attention of her.. by offering her help (sen was kinda ostracized by the people in the bathouse coz she is a human) but he somewhat got snubbed by her la.. people then gave him attention coz of the amount of gold they can get from him.. but the longer he stayed, again, the point on which he got too lost in it.. after he got out of the bathouse, he became normal again.. sometimes, we always get too tied up in something and loose focus.. need to get out for a breather and then continue..

sen was another person that we can learn something from.. she never gave up.. despite all the difficulties that she faced.. she showned all the ppl in the bathouse that even she is a human, there are stuff that she can accomplish too (the other people in the bathouse are spirits or frog-human look alikes).. ah.. and there is the theme of love in the movie.. blah blah blah blah.. there are other stuff that are in the movie la.. it will become an essay if i were to continue.. if you wanna analyse the movie.. go watch it yourself la.. sheesh.. but.. i've learned loads of stuff.. gotta keep those in mind.. =)

sheesh.. this movie made all those other films look like crap.. but can't say that.. people put in their efforts in making things that they believe are important to them.. haha!! i feel more enlighted after watching the film.. shoot i feel like i am so not mature.. haha.. =P

hee.. here is the theme song.. sang by the same person who sang the theme song in howl's moving castle.. yumi kimura.. her voice is one of a kind..

Always with Me

Somewhere, a voice calls, in the depths of my heart
May I always be dreaming, the dreams that move my heart

So many tears of sadness, uncountable through and through
I know on the other side of them I'll find you

Everytime we fall down to the ground we look up to the blue sky above
We wake to it's blueness, as for the first time

Though the road is long and lonely and the end far away, out of sight
I can with these two arms embrace the light

As I bid farewell my heart stops, in tenderness I feel
My silent empty body begins to listen to what is real

The wonder of living, the wonder of dying
The wind, town, and flowers, we all dance one unity

Somewhere a voice calls in the depths of my heart
keep dreaming your dreams, don't ever let them part

Why speak of all your sadness or of life's painfull woes
Instead let the same lips sing a gentle song for you

The whispering voice, we never want to forget,
in each passing memory always there to guide you

When a miror has been broken, shattered pieces scattered on the ground
Glimpses of new life, reflected all around

Window of beginning, stillness, new light of the dawn
Let my silent, empty body be filled and reborn

No need to search outside, nor sail across the sea
Cause here shining inside me, it's right here inside me

I've found a brightness, it's always with me
