Spirited away Spoilers

Level 99 media literacy is understanding that Chichiro knew that her parents werent among the pigs at the end, not because some memorisation or trick or whatever, but because her charachter development from whinny brat into self confident hardworking brat made her realise her parents were never "pigs" (in the prejorative sense)

#spirited away #media literacy #ending explained #like if it was something else it would kinda be a meh moment #also not saying that the parents are perfect or even particularly good but the point of maturing and growing is to still understand them and #not be resentful of them #ofcourse I dont mean extreme cases where parents are like child abusers or just actually horrible but you know what I mean #like they literally just took a hike without magical thinking Chihiro does seem like a spoiled kid being difficult and not some psychic lol #and even if she saw the evil her parents didnt its about forgivness and fixing stuff #like the whole movie was about japan selling out its future for fools gold but how the next gen can recover and reclaim whats lost #idk we had movie night and my brother threw a tantrum while watching an old kursawa movie #like literally took his phone out ten minutes in like some anti-young gen meme lol #I wonder if he is more simmilar to the giant baby in the movie for that or me for ranting about something miniscule and private in tumblr #guess we all know #and if not #yeah...sorry
