Amazingly filled with significant images. It seemed that every frame contained archetypical images that might escape the casual observer. Spirited Away is simply overflowing with spiritual truth. Highly recommend more than one viewing of this sweet, exciting story.

An 8 might seem like a high rating... but this was a sweet, well developed, and entertaining romantic tragedy/comedy. It reminds us to live from our hearts and to stop refusing to take chances just because we might appear foolish. Great rewards require great risk. Live from your heart. These are messages worth telling on screen.

Bravo! All I can add is that I nearly jumped from my seat when I saw how they filmed Sam's reaction to Frodo leaving. In any other film, that performance would have been over-the-top. I was afraid they would miss the importance of Sam's undying willingness to act from his heart. It was perfect! (Thanks, Sean, for getting it right!)
