Spirited Away (2001) Discussion of the Japanese anime film

A fantastical journey carrying deep symbols about identity, childhood, and human greed. In a world inhabited by spirits where names are sold, Chihiro faces a test of transformation, maturity, and holding on to oneself. Hayao Miyazaki's most famous film is not just an anime, but an existential experience that reminds us of what we lose as we grow up, and asks us: Do we live through the memory of our souls… or through names that no longer belong to us?
