Man, one of the big reasons why Spirited Away really grabbed me, was that I felt that Chihiro did most of the same things that I would’ve done if I was her. On retrospect, certain things are really obvious now.
so please PLEASE stop saying Miyazaki used the film as a metaphor for brothels and child sex trafficking. if you want to read it that way, whatever, but know his actual intentions. Miyazaki isn’t a dark mastermind. just a regular narrative genius.

I told Miyazaki I love the “gratuitous motion” in his films; instead of every movement being dictated by the story, sometimes people will just sit for a moment, or they will sigh, or look in a running stream, or do something extra, not to advance the story but only to give the sense of time and place and who they are. “We have a word for that in Japanese,” he said. “It’s called ma. Emptiness. It’s there intentionally […] If you just have non-stop action with no breathing space at all, it’s just busyness. But if you take a moment, then the tension building in the film can grow into a wider dimension. If you just have constant tension at 80 degrees all the time you just get numb. - Roger Ebert, on Hayao Miyazaki.
