In a battle lasting 0.1 seconds, it was only these two…that didn’t waver even a millimetre at the twins insanely fast attack from the back. Speed is a very, very strong weapon. It’s very charming and cool. But it’s not invincible. They knew that a little better than everyone else.
I would just like to point out that the beginning and end of Spirited Away creep me out in the most delicious way possible. I’ve always been a fan of fairy tales, and not just the Grimm and Anderson stuff, almost all my life. Like the honestly faerie court stories.
Themes you see in those reflect strongly in this movie, and comparing them side by side just makes it that much more stark.
Often times you hear that if you get sucked into the fairy realm, you shouldn’t eat their food. It gives them power over you. More often than not, heroes finally escape the fairy realm after what they perceive to be a very short time (a night or a week)…
…only to find that seasons or years have passed.
‘Hey, it’s all dusty in here. Is this someone’s idea of a joke?’
CRAPPING SHIT I WHY HAVE I NEVER NOTICED THIS
This always freaked me out a little as a kid. Like the OP, I couldn’t help but wonder how long REALLY passed. I always pretended it was something like a week but… Judging by that moss, I can’t say for sure.
A week? Try much MUCH /MUCH/ longer. The plants are a good indicator but a better one is the statue. We’re seeing it from the same angle in each shot. Look in the first one before she enters, it’s not NEW but you can tell what it is.
Now look at the second frame. It’s so eroded it’s just a dull, flat stone.
That thing is solid stone, that must have taken up to, if not more than, a DECADE to wear down that much.
Not to mention that there are new trees next to the car. Just remember how long it actually takes for trees to grow real quick.
Evidence is suggesting they were in there for maybe around 20-30 years.
UGH I ALWAYS KNEW THEY WERE IN THERE FOR A WHILE BUT
THATS SO CREEPY
OH GOD.
OHGOD.
BLR;GMBD
woah. I knew they were there for a while, but yeah, the stone….I mean, plants CAN grow pretty quickly in some areas, but you got me convinced with the eroded face of the building…and the road too. Though it looks like the pavement was already decaying, it’s completely over-grown when they leave….
FUCKING. SHIT. EVERY TIME I WATCH A FILM, THERE IS SOMETHING NEW TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND. I’ve seen each of these movies at least 10 times; and usually once a year. I love that there is so much care put into details like this, cause literally at different points in one’s life there are different and new ways to interpret and perceive wtf is going on.
Man yeah I always assumed they were gone for a decade or so, but if the stone’s eroded that much it might even be up to a century or something ahhhhh (not to mention the fact that I think the only way she’ll see Haku again is after she dies and becomes one of those spirits we see on the boats in the beginning, crossing the river from the real world to the spirit world? Haku himself is a dead river spirit because his river in the real world was all filled in by apartment complexes and yeah, getting shivers down my spine again THIS MOVIE)
I want to sob this is so amazing/terrifying. And the story ends with the car driving away from the tunnel BUT THEY HAVE BEEN MISSING FOR DECADES AND THEY ARE GOING TO GO TO THEIR NEW HOME AND IT’S JUST NOT THERE LIKE THERE IS AN ENTIRELY NEW STORY AFTER THIS ONE ENDS.
Unless it’s like they went left this world and came back out and maybe no time has passed but it’s just a slightly different universe now. Whoaaaa I like that.
Oh my gosh, I always loved the ending of this movie, because they drive away to their “new house” and I could never stop wondering what it was like when they got there. Was someone else living there? What happened to all the stuff the movers had? Hell, maybe the zombie apocalypse happened while they were in there, I don’t know. There’s a million and one possibilities, and I’m always completely shocked at how there’s no fanworks exploring them.
I always thought that it was no more than a week, but here’s the reason why that’s been okay for me. I think the entrance might have always looked like it does at the end of the movie. The fact that it looked as pristine as it does when they enter, having already been abandoned for ~15 years, was what gave me the creeps.
Yeah, I have to go with Elizabeth’s comment here. Those old amusement parks started to be built in the 80s and abandoned in the 90s, after all. The area has been abandoned in the physical world for years and only when its spirit form is accessible to you does it appear to be pristine. The statue and probably the whole forest, in a way, are its gateway markers - hence the face on the statue not being there in the non-magical version of the forest.
The dust in the car doesn’t fit that theory, but IIRC, it’s one of her parents who says that and it’s certainly been more time than they thought - they were pigs, don’t remember anything, and probably had limited awareness of time passing. They’ve been there as long as Chihiro remembers, essentially, but the parents think it’s only been a few minutes.
I think reading too much into the “dusty” line and thinking it’s been years undermines the narrative in a way that disturbs me more than any fairy tale creepiness. If it’s been decades, that opens a whole different story and invalidates Chihiro’s personal growth. Well, maybe it doesn’t. But I tend to read stories about people being trapped for years in god realms as metaphors about being trapped in immaturity (or whatever you like, pleasure, magic) while letting your life go by and the major point of Chihiro’s journey is that she corrects herself in time. She saves her parents and regains her name and therefore doesn’t go the Urashima Taro route (whose mother died while he lived under the sea, unaware of the time shift, and who never learned not to open boxes when you’re told not to. It’s not really a moralistic tale, but he does ultimately get screwed in every direction for helping that turtle.) I think the dust and the overgrowth are a hint to the audience that this COULD have happened to them, but everything else about the story shows that Chihiro averted it.
HE ASKS STRANGE THINGS. WHAT DOES HE MEAN BY “THE WORLD”? I DON’T EVEN GET MYSELF, LET ALONE HAVE AWARENESS OF “THE WORLD”. ... AM I NEEDED? IS MY EXISTENCE NECESSARY? ... HE REMEMBERED. HE’S SO WEIRD.
Cant believe i experienced this scene in three different forms

“IT’S TRUE THAT THE CURSE IS BROKEN AND THE BOND THAT I FELT BACK THEN IS GONE. ... BUT I CANNOT ABANDON AKITO. I DECIDED I WOULD LIVE FOR THE ONE WHO CRIED UNTIL SOBS RACKED THEIR BODY.
FOR A SORROWFUL GIRL.”
