Thoughts on Spirited Away

-If you don't know it by now, son, there's nothing I can do for you.

-This movie. Is the shit.

-It's got everything. Amazing animation of aleady-iconic characters (including what I can only describe as a mini Totoro), a feel-good story that still doesn't pussy around the fact that people are, like, slaves, a six-armed man with a mustache that size of his face.

-Studio Ghibli, aka the studio that keeps us from killing ourselves by proiducing non-stop whimsy and awesomeness and Miyazaki.

Suddenly an unconscious Argentinean fell through my roof. He was quickly joined by a dwarf dressed as a nun.

No 211 - Moulin Rouge! Director - Baz Luhrmann I remember very vividly when I first saw this film. I was in sixth form when it came out, and was a student of 'Theatre Studies', so there was naturally a lot of talk about this overtly theatrical piece. However, I was not convinced that I would enjoy it, it looked overtly soppy, a chicks film. Finally I was convinced to go and see it (Tom Done, who was in the year above and who was utterly terrifying, though who is now a good friend, won me over by stating the line I have used as a title. Surely a film MUST be good if it features unconscious Argentinians and cross dressing dwarfs!). So one evening I went to the Regent cinema in Wantage ( now shut down ) with my best friends Hanna and Richard . The film completely blew me away, and is the only film that has managed to firmly grab my attention in the first second, as the curtains open and the conductor arrives to play the 20th Century Fox theme. It uses the production company's
