Замечательный cartoon, much like "Alice in Wonderland."
Akio's father, mother and their South ten year old daughter named Chihiro move into a new house, located somewhere in the backwoods of Japan. Confusing way, which, as it seemed to the Pope Chihiro must bring to their new home, they stopped in a strange forest, the way in which ended a long and dark tunnel. Passing through him, the three hapless travelers were on the station the station, which appeared on the prairie, where the offing could see the little town that looks like an abandoned amusement park, where many have built in the nineties. On the streets and houses of the town was not a single living soul, the town was asleep. A little walking up to the park's father sees a cozy restaurant, and entered it finds a table, lomyaschiesya of delicacies and most different dishes. Mother and father decide to have a meal and Chihiro goes wandering around the city. During the walk, she notices a lot of countries, such as smoke from a chimney abandoned building, and returning Chihiro no longer finds his parents in their old form. Rapidly gathering dusk and the evening comes, flooding the city of strange shadows, appearing everywhere. Now Chihiro will need to work very hard to help their parents to regain their independence and return home.
Children of the consumer society effectively and clearly taught the lesson that must penetrate even into their heads stuffed with advertising.
The most concrete illustration, of course, Chihiro's parents, who pounced on someone else's food, like pigs, and as punishment for greed turned into pigs.
On a deeper psychological level, the same problem embodies the Faceless. This huge animated metaphor forces us to once again admire the talent master, who managed an extremely simple figurative language does not express simple things.
paramount that shows Faceless - this is the reason painful craving for consumption: poor can not communicate.
No person and your own voice, he swallows around to find it (An analogy with the viewers have forgotten how to think, that information swallowed without chewing, and then mechanically repeating the words of others).
It is easy to understand what a miserable and horrible creature is in the surrounding mainly disgust and fear. Faceless never seen sympathy indefinitely lonely and unhappy. Chihiro first, maybe his whole life indefinitely, has behaved with him as a human - let in the house, not left to soak for rain.
Judging by the fact that the witch Steam and her subordinates have heard about the faceless, its appearance in the bath - not the first contact with humans. It can be assumed that we face it the usual way to feel happy: love and respect he is trying to buy, throwing gold. Disgusting, smug Beast and the crowd of flatterers around him, ready to do anything for profit - the image of old as money itself, and just as ubiquitous. Incidentally, the scene of gluttony Featureless echoes assertive replica of his father Chihiro that a purse and a card with him, so he can do whatever he wants.
But of course, gold does not change matters. The only new feeling Faceless awakens around with money, it's greed. While he did not see anything the other, he lacked such an illusion of happiness, but a meeting with Chihiro for the first time makes him realize a simple comparison that fussy fawning frogs - not more than What a lie.
Alas, in real human relationships Faceless completely helpless. Even a vague feeling of what it lacks, He has no representation as to get it. He tries to bribe Chihiro, then to intimidate, but to no avail; unselfishness girls throw him astray and leads into a frenzy.
hardly a dystopia or a treatise on the psychology of modern society, which would give a more accurate portrait individual for whom communication substituted consumption.
But Miyazaki Miyazaki would not have been, if limited exposure of the public vices. Faceless - not a villain but a victim, although not known whether his own stupidity, randomness, or someone evil spells. It is important that the poor are not to blame for the ugly device of his inner world, and Miyazaki can not leave him to his fate. Chihiro helping the suffering souls find shelter.
Thus, we show that consumption - not just evil and misfortune, perhaps, disease, and not on some abstract considerations of social justice, but because happiness still can not buy (or, what is bought, not true happiness).
This conclusion may seem common place, but the truth is often the way it sounds. All it knows and all ignored. Therefore, the more important that from time to time about her someone was like, the best teacher or an artist. (A. Panin, Manual Youth)
