Once he is let into the bathhouse, we are no longer tourists – the story propels forth. No Face, a black figure with a white mask, is the catalyst behind Chihiro's transformation. But as she plunges deeper into the spirit world, she becomes more independent, more assured, more respectful and learns some manners. At the start Chihiro is a selfish, spoiled, whiny brat. They are simply bi-products of their material world and consumerism. Many people consider them to be ill-mannered and baring no respect for their elders or their forefathers. There's a certain sense of revile about the youth of Japan at the moment. Through Chihiro, Miyazaki is clearly but non-patronisingly talking to youth of Japan. Of course, by giving the audience developed characters to care about, the action and conflicts will always be more exciting, terrifying and uplifting than normal, generic action scenes.
The uplifting scene where she cleanses the River God is accompanied by stirring music and is as exciting as watching gladiatorial combatants fight. Miyazaki treats the modest achievements of Chihiro with unashamed bombast. Twenty minutes into this film and I completely forgot these were animated characters I started to care for them like they were living and breathing. He infixes his animated actors with such subtleties that I have never seen, even from animation giants Pixar. Miyazaki lingers upon the characters as if they were actors. The fact that this place is amazing doesn't seem to concern Miyazaki. Places and buildings are not greeted by towering establishing shots and majestic music.
