some crazy film analysis thing

i did it for the points

sorry

it is for spirited away however, which is a lovely movie :3

also, actual heart and soul can be found in in the two posts below this

------

Ordinary World:
their old home off somewhere
also perhaps the actual ordinary, non-spirit world

Call to Adventure:
moving away
Chihiro being dragged into the spirit world, her parents turned into pigs
Haku: "talk to the boiler man, get a job, if he refuses you must insist."

Refusal of Call:
bad attitude about moving and all

Meeting the Mentor:
Haku finds her and instructs and helps her along at first
Kamajii also a mentor, tells her to

Crossing the Threshold:
talking to Yubaba and getting work in the bath house

Tests, Allies, and Enemies:
the whole ordeal with that stink spirit
Haku is not only apparently untrustworthy, but also apparently a dragon
encounter with the odd baby character

Approach the Inmost Cave:
chasing Haku down

The Ordeal:
nasty encounter with the bloated No-face

The Reward:
Zeniba breaks the curse
the baby and the crow become Chihiro's friends
Chihiro receives the protective hairband

The Road Back:
simply the trainride back

Resurrection:
Chihiro discovers Haku's real name and he is finally healed
one final test where she must pick out which of the pigs are actually her parents

Return with Elixir:
gets her parents back, gets back to real world
leaves as a much more mature person

  1. Wow. You've obviously given this movie a lot of thought. Good job. I've never seen it.

    I find it interesting how many of the archetype masks No-face wears.
