Spirited Away is probably the most renowned film from the Studio Ghibli collection. The main theme that can be identified from this film is the plight of Chihiro from childhood, to adolescence.
Spirited away explores postmodernism; the relationship between Chihiro and her parents, the recession of the city which has led to the abandonment of the fair ground and also the industrialisation and environmental damage that progresses through time, which led to the loss of the Haku river.
The vibrant colours used on this image portray the fantasies of a child, imagining the unimaginable. The central position of Chihiro’s rigid body indicates that she is the main protagonist, and will endure some form of journey, whether this is physical or metaphorical. The enigma that remains is what potential epic journey does Chihiro encounter, with the presence of the mythical creatures positioned behind her?
