Last Thursday, I watched the Janpanese Film, it called Spirited Away, Chinese name is called 千與千尋,
the chinese name translated Sen and Chihiro! When I was small, I watched this film, I think is only for children to watch, so when the television station replayed it after 3-4 years, I didn't want to watch it.
But I changed this mind last week. I think this film bring us some message, satirize this social, human nature, I think about (How to Win Friends & Influence People) this book.
1. When the River Spirit(川の神 Kawa no Kami) came to the bathroom, everyone didn't want to take care him, because he was very smelly and his body has many rubbish, the master of the bathroom is called Yubaba (湯婆婆) ordered Sen and Lin take care him. At the begining, Sen afraid, then No-face(カオナシ Kaonashi) gave her some tablet to provide clean water to clean River Spirit. After that, the bathroom everyone knows that he is River Spirit, River Spirit gave Sen more money, Yubaba felt happy because Sen let the bathroom earned more profit, Yubaba nice to Sen. In this social, we always think that help benefit of their people is the best, because they will help you in the future, it like Sen helped the bathroom earned more profit, then Yubaba nice to Sen! River Spirit's body had many rubbish, it tell us we always make many rubbish, must protect the nature!
2. At the begining, Sen can see No-face outside, at that time No-face had kind-hearted. Then, Sen let No-face came into the bathroom to avoid the rain. No-face helped Sen to take care River Spirit, No-face walked round the bathroom, No-face gave some money to Sen, but Sen didin't want it, after that No-face ate the workers, made he can speak. He wanted nice to Sen, gave her food and money. No-face lost kind-hearted, he gave money made everyone kind to him, money made him lost kind-hearted. Sen let him left the bathroom, No-face back to the begining. No-face show the social make us lost our the nature character, lost our identity, materialism occupy our ideology. When Sen found Zeniba (銭婆 Zeniiba), she brought No-face, then No-face would be Zeniba's worker, let No-face had something to do.
3. When Sen found the job, she signed the contract, Yubaba gave her the other name, called Sen. Yubaba used the magic to let Sen forget her true name. Yubaba control Sen, let her forgot her identity. Then, Haku reminded her to remember her true name, told her don't forget her true name, if she forget her true name, she can't go back to human world. This shown we always forget our identity when we live in this social.
4. At the begining, Haku(白龍/Haku/Nigihayami Kohakunushi) helped Sen to aviod Yubaba found her, and Haku known Sen before, so he wanted to help her.He told Sen to find a job in the bathroom, let she can find the opportunities to help her parents. He brought Sen to see her parents(they were changed into pig). Haku got hurt, Yubaba didn't treat him, let him die, Sen have been strong, brave! She helped Haku, it was because The Power of Love. Kamajii (釜爺) and Lin (リン Rin) were touched by their love! Kamajii gave the train ticket(Kamajii save a long time) the train ticket to Sen, let she can help Haku. Then, Sen went to Zeniba's home, turned the stamp to Zeniba, because Haku stole Zeniba's stamp and felt sorry to Zeniba. They back to the bathroom. Haku and Chihiro always help each other, Haku helped Chihiro back to her world, Chihiro helped Haku rememeber his real name! It show we can find the true friend in this complex social. As we believe we can find the true friend, we will find our identity. We also need friends and family. Family tell us where did we come from, friend tell us what is our identity!
I think I will watch Spirited Away again. I like watching Japanese film!
