Chihiro’s trip: a great teaching
Introduction
Chihiro’s trip is a film that never goes out of style and continues to call the attention of young and old for everything he is able to contribute. It is considered one of the best films of the century. We will remember the reasons why the film deserves to be seen again and again. Studio Ghibli’s film tells the story of a 10 -year -old girl, Chihiro, who is trapped in a magical world. To survive you must work in a spa for gods. We discovered, with his adventures in that huge bathroom house, Japanese tradition and spirituality. There we find kamis, unummated beings, which for Westerners would be deities, which in Japan are identified with elements of nature.
Developing
We discover Yōkai, creatures mix of demons and nature spirits. Chihiro’s trip is the maximum exponent, in the career of Miyazaki, of the Japanese cultural explosion, of the value of the roots, respect for traditions, and at the same time it is a vision since the 21st century, modern and respectful.-García Villar-Chihiro manages to solve a problem created by his parents, who do not respect Japanese traditions or good minimum education. She is a normal girl and is able to do everything she proposes, always thinking about others and what is fine. Teachings that Chihiro’s trip brings us to collaborate with others.
It gives better results than facing them in their journey through the house of Baños Chihiro you have to ask for the Yubaba sorceress, which is the one that runs the bathroom. He knows that it will be a difficult task and decides to be friendly, collaborate in everything he asks and thus achieves the work he needs to survive in the magical world and be able to return to his world someday. When he asks Yubaba work, although Yubaba is being quite abrupt with her, what he does is talk to her with love;He calls her ‘Grandpa’ and even asks for help to take the spell from her Kohaku’s friend. Everyone has a good side, you just have to try to look for this is clearly represented with characters like the faceless.
No face or kaonashi, which is a black shadow with white mask that Chihiro does not fear-. Everyone believes that the faceless is bad, but she strives a lot to look for her good side. Therefore, it manages to discover what happens to it and that is shown as Chihiro believes in the goodness of others. With this belief that we all have something good also manages to beat Yubaba. Chihiro’s journey teaches us that greed makes you a monstrous being with his parents, this happens just this. They eat a lot, too much, a meal that, in addition, does not belong to them, and end up turned into pigs.
They believe that they will be happy with the food, but, in reality, their greed only carries them problems. Thus begins Chihiro’s adventure. Ecology, nature and its importance in Chihiro’s trip. The importance of nature also appears in Chihiro. In the film a stinky god appears in the bathrooms, and a stir is armed because it is horrible and smells very bad. Chihiro, patiently, dedicates his time to clean it, and turns out to be the god of a polluted river, with an embedded bike that made dirt accumulate more and more. When Chihiro cleans it again as it is.
The bicycle that the pestilent god has also embedded also means a lot. It’s there because someone has thrown her into a river. The film reminds us of the importance of not polluting our environment. If we throw a river, like a bicycle, we not only get dirty, we are hurting your spirit. Chihiro, once he sees the Clean River, gets very happy. In addition, when that God leaves the clean house, all workers dance and celebrate happy. Miyazaki teaches us that treating a river well is not something that we will make rich, but happy. The consumer society enslaves us in the film, all who get to have a job with Yubaba lose their name and forget their previous life.
conclusion
In a way they end up being slaves because they do not know who they are Yubaba steals their name so that they are their slaves. Kohaku, for example, makes him forget his name promising him a treasure that never comes to give him in summary, Chihiro’s trip is and will be one of the great films of the 21st century. It is, in fact, the first great animated film of the century. Children, when they discover it, worship it, are able to be talking about what they just saw and asking questions. It is important not to forget that we have a jewel in hand.
