Earthling Cinema is back on the airwaves! Which cinematic artifacts should Mr. Wormuloid probe next?
NEIL BREEEEEEEN
Dr. Strangelove or Your name
Whiplash!
Taxi Driver
Wisecrack HEY! Can you do the movie Tron??? Feel like there is some Earthly gold that my favourite alien would ..... well maybe wouldn't understand!
Oh and I hope everything is ok with you and your wife 😉
Love doesn't always have to be romantic. It could be, and probably should be, interpreted as friendly love too.
PsyPhi that’s exactly what I came to terms to 👌🏻
Yes
Normally i'd agree with you but this is japan and they have a cultural problem with underage fantasies.
they're not even that long apart, haku is 12 and chihiro is 10
The old ladies twin sister literally says that Haku is Sens Boyfriend and she doesn’t deny it
Disney touches the heart
Studio Ghibli touches the soul.
hentai touches the dick
gay
Jack Windrammer it's only gay if you want it to be.
Disney touches the racist
Varinder Bhandal i dont have a soul but i enjoyed spirited ahayhay
I'm not surprised that an alien couldn't find the actual hidden meaning in this film. Miyazaki himself said that this is not a film about "growing" or "exploring one's inner self". What he was trying to say in this movie is that the power and confidence that Chihiro needed to overcome her challenges have been inside her all along. And instead of growing into a different person at the end of the film, Chihiro actually went back to the same little girl before she entered the realm of the spirits. The scene of Chihiro and her parents entering the tunnel at the beginning and the scene of them exiting the tunnel at the end were nealy identical: exact same composition, almost the same lines except for one word from her mom, and in both scene you can see Chihiro clinging to her mother scared, suggesting that Chihiro forgot about her experience in the magic realm just as her parents did and went back to the starting point. One key difference, is that in the ending scene she still has the hair band she made at Zeniba's, suggesting that her adventure did actually happen, and it also serves as symbol that even though she had forgot about her adventure, her strength is still, and always has been, inside of her.
thank you for this comment
Where did you know this info i want to read too
@@khuephan4637 I read it in a couple of analyses online, but they are in another language. However, you should be able to find Miyazaki's original quote somewhere else on the internet.
Bruh... he legitimately pointed out the "coming of age" nature of the movie and the ethos of remembering who you are WITH all the otger aspects. So yeah, he legit said what you are saying he did in other words. You should knock down a peg this "im smarter than you" tone. Listen to the freaking video, geez.
Whatever happens will never be forgotten, even if you dont remember them - Zeniba
Actually Haku’s 12 and Chihiro is 10, so it’s just a 3 year difference. And Chihiro forgets everything after she leaves the spirit realm.
A 2 year difference although haku is technically as old has the kohaku river, its a, confusing thing
Trinity Garrick also haku is a river, and is dating a child
Why is everyone ok with this
@@swiftiekitty133 he's a river spirit, and they aren't technically dating
Hold on... she forgot everything?!?!?!
I hope you pass math class this year
This style of review is just not suited for a masterpiece like Spirited Away.
Truth.
agree
Your right, I want to vomit and have a brain seizure. Aghhhhhhhh
Totally agree. I stopped the video after the first minute. I do not want this masterpiece to be ruined inside of my soul by these type of jokes.
Could not agree more with this statement! I like Earthling Cinema as much as the next guy, but it feels like the depth of the film the genius of its animation get buried underneath a bunch of corny Dad jokes in this review.
I want to correct one thing, about "love broke the curse" sorry it's not disney princess movie. Zeniba said that Chihiro manage to broke Haku's spell is because:
1. She feed Haku with the herbal medicine she got from the "stink" spirit.
2. After Haku ate the medicine he spit out something black. That thing was put inside him by Yubaba to control him.
3. Chihiro squeeze it out with her feet. That's why Zeniba laugh, and after that she told Chihiro to seat and have a tea.
Yes Chihiro love Haku, but her personality here is just so pure, no greed, nothing else except helping someone who helped her.
Love still had a major role
Haku kept Chihiro name, and she never forget who she is, at the same time Chihiro helped Haku to remember who he is, giving him the opportunity to be free
Actually when chihiro goes to zeniba's house zebina says that only love breaks that spell. Or at least that's what the english dubbed version says
@@kaziroxana8371 except the original version never said that... She called haku her dragon boyfriend though in the sub... So there's that😂
@@Reik8911 lmao drahon boyfriend
@Anindita Debnath bahaha right! I laughed when Zeniba said that, and I thought Chihiro would get mad or embarrassed because of that. But instead, she stayed calm and continued with her sentence 😂
I always thought love meant like she really cared for him not romantic love
That is the joke
It does
@@terdragontra8900 It's not a joke though, he just didn't understand the concept of what was happening, probably only watched the movie once and didn't think much of it.
Something not commented on that's certainly worth noting is the use of water and nature to depict the gap between the human and 'supernatural' world. A big idea in Japanese culture in the shinto belief in Gods existing in all living things. The water that ends up marooning Chihiro on the seemingly newly formed island represents her passage into the 'God' realm, and Kohaku's past existence as a river represents the Gods' places in nature. Another example is when Chihiro goes to the train station, she must use her wooden rowboat to traverse water once more. This usage of water, appearing to be the bridge or connection between humans and Gods, is perhaps meant to symbolize the close connection between us and the Gods. The usage of water in the bathing house to cleanse the spirit on his accumulation of material objects once again depicts water as a mystic beneficial force, natural to both humans and Gods, which purifies us from our perhaps consumeristic tendencies. Nature is the key to understanding shintoism as well as Japanese culture and influence in this movie.
Wow, really deep
Nice interpretation. I actually didn't realise that when I watched the movie, but I also dont know a lot about japanese mythology and that probably would have helped. I still saw it as a great movie that absolutely has deeper meaning to it
thanks. this video is just horribly westerncentric
Based
Nice observation!
when I watched this as a child it actually gave me nightmares
Bookmeister same i was terrorized by it but now i find it cute
me too man i re-watched it like 2 years ago when i was 18 and i liked it lol
Same and even now I can't manage to watch it again
Same the black monster gaves me a nightmare
Same, no face always scared me. Now im 15 and watching it again today after probably 9 years. Its been that long
"This dream-boat, Haku"
Kat Wolf or the “dragon boyfriend”
@@swiftiekitty133 wtf I watched the cantonese dubbed version when I was a kid and I thought he was a girl until today
@@erockthehorse I also thought Haku is a girl and Zabuza is her lover
When I saw Haku for the first time I thought he was Sia
@@ale5cat-san689 im dying of laughter reading your comment man daaaamn
"This dreamboat Haku" is a brillant phrase
I didn't understand. Why is it so good?
My favourite part of the entire video
He's pure
Mood lol
XD
Just because a lot of people seem to be confused about No Face, here are some thoughts: I think as kids we were all kind of scared of no face but if you take off his creepy image you're just left with a child. I think No Face was supposed to represent the way children, or young minds are influenced by the adults and environemt around them and if not taught right or wrong, will do anything to aquire their parent's love (which was kind of Chihiro's position in the film). So in the bath house, the people were greedy and so No Face reflected their greed. I think the way he aquired the frog's voice after swallowing him was also very reminiscent of the way children often swallow the words of adults and copy them. So, it's not like he ever wanted to be served mountains of food or be treated like a royal, he just wanted people to pay attention to him and blindly, he thought that he could buy people's affection with money, but he couldn't. The one person who showed unconditional kindness to him (Chihiro) wasn't interested in his gold and he didn't understand why and thus the whole rampage. By deliberately making him a creepy character, I think that Miyazaki was covering what was at the core of his actions. However none of this was said by Miyazaki nor the film which is exactly what makes Miyazaki's films so great. The characters, the story is just placed there and no opinions about them are stated, not even by the protagonists (who are often neutral) just left there for the audience to question and interpret.
Here's a challenge:
Hidden Meaning in "the Room" by Tommy Wiseau
"If everyone love each other, the world would be a better place to live in." there you have it
Respect women
pleeeaasseeee
Hi doggy
They haven't done it and it's TEARING ME APART
Now do one on the Iron Giant you beautiful bastards.
Superman ;-(
Never trust a guy who spams the exact same comment over and over again.
S U P E R M A N
absolutely love the Iron Giant
*bastards
Of course you could stick to your own opinions but I don’t think you know what anime actually is. Even though you may think that Chihiro and Haku’s relationship is wrong, Haku is said to be approximately 12 years old. Secondly, it may be assumed that Haku is very old because he’s a river spirit, but my point is that in anime there doesn’t have to be logic, therefore it shouldn’t be taken seriously. Additionally, this is only kids’ crush, I don’t see what’s bad about that. There are no sexual scenes in Spirited Away because it’s generally aimed for young viewers. I’m not being disrespectful, just speaking out my views.
says the person who's name is "Haku"
He’s making jokes you fucking buzzkill
Exactly! It could be a 'friendly' love, or she could have a crush... they don't even kiss! I didn't think it was creepy, I thought it was sweet.
It's a type of love called Philia
A friendly kind of love
Your not disrespectful 👏👏 haku and chihiro is like innocent couple, ppl are too immature for tht
The theory is that Haku is Chihiro's brother who gave up his life for her and became the river spirit. So it was brother-sister love
Such an iconic childhood movie. This is my favorite movie of all time. I remember i couldn't get the images out of my head and spent months to find it once i did i never forgot it again.
Aminata Fofana same I literally kept reminiscing it and couldn’t figure out the name of the film!
I just watched the movie and can’t figure out why it’s considered a “cinematic masterpiece” seemed kinda mid to me
Sameeeeee
Sen is actually 10 and Haku is 12😂
"No offense, none taken" That line was hilarious.
"...though he reconsidered when he remembered he was the f**king man!"
"An economic Boom, no offense"
😂😂😂
None taken.
Very dark
well that joke went down fast just like the twin towers lol
The dubbed version looks like it's a lot harder to watch than the subbed one.
Fluxquark the first time I saw this movie was in Japanese class before the US release was even rumored. The whole "power of love" crap was nowhere to be found. I like to put the subtitles up when watching with friends who insist on the English dub just to show them the correct storyline.
But reading subtitles keeps you from seeing other details... maybe see it both ways?
@@BlackavarWD You could say the same about the dub...
@@BlackavarWD No,I'm just saying that listening to the dub can make you miss certain things going on just like with the sub
@Priyanka Naidoo in the dubbed version something of the script and thus of the story gets lost
They need to change the script to make the speech fit the scenes, the subbed version is way more closer to the original
Personally I would suggest u watch the Japanese version with English subs, the atmosphere is just different in my opinion. Also great work wisecrack I loved the analysis and I am happy that channels like ur's exist!
That pig scene scarred me for life when I was a kid. I never knew which movie it was but I am so glad I found out and am now able to appreciate the immense value of the work that caused a minor trauma! Thank you Earthling Cinema.
the same thing happened to me as a kid. we ejected the cd and never watched it again when the pig scene came up because we somehow found it terrifying. 20 odd years later and ill try to watch the full movie when i have the time
I click anything Studio Ghibli related. 😂😂😂
Andreia does that apply to rule 34
Lord Reginald Peterson Everything applies to Rule 34.
same here XD
Sharktooth instead of no face it's oh face
Saaaaame 😂 I'm so whipped.
*comes in expecting stupid prostitution theory*
*leaves with way more insight on a film i've been watching for the past 15 years*
excellent, excellent analysis; great job.
It is true
Agreed, except for the fact that Haku is 12 and NOT at least 18
Was it just me or would the analysis have been better without those hideous looking fake eyebrows!
@DOAMA The work speaks for itself.
@DOAMA can somebody explain this prostitution theory? Because base on what I am seeing it could be possible but I'm not sure if it's aligned.
Spirited Away is not just an animated movie, it is art, philosophy, lifestyle, culture, beauty, magic, dream, happiness, a reason to breathe, a lesson to be learned, a purpose of life, an escape of reality, a motivation to keep on living.
Just finished it. And oh my god. Its beautiful. Best animated movie by far...
I really don't understand.. What's so special about it.. Like.. It was basic..
@@sadaquatahmad2201 same, I finally watched it and it didnt feel groundbreaking or lifechanging or anything like everyone kept saying online
You must've been high on shrooms
@@sadaquatahmad2201just watched it 2/10 movie for me
I think, i love ghibli movies because i still can feel the strong emotions in their movies including the romantic feeling without exposing any kissing scene or etc . They describe the love in family, friendship, and even nature . It’s so beautiful ❤️ so uniqe and relate to our real life
Please do Princess Monoke
Jake Bryant yes yes yes yes yes
*Koolaid man bursts through 4th wall* Ooooooooooh Yeaaaaaaaaaaah!
+Jake Bryant favorite movie of all time
Jake Bryant *Black sea of death intensifies*

2:18 is a metric assload more than an imperial assload?
@Storm On PC this needs to become officially accepted
@Storm On PC Then there is a metric fuckton of 5$ bills headed your way!
They could be Canadian dollars.
sagely Demonologist I think it's actually less, but since no one ever says an imperial assload, I could be mistaken
Haku is twelve though... 🤣
2:07 "makes him barf up a shiny little egg McGuffin..." 😂😂😂
I cant stop laughing
I was rolling on the floor laughing when he said:
"that can cause a real headache.... at the DMV"
1:26
Me too
"A human female"
"Parental units"
What the fucc
Thank you wisecrack for being such an inspiration for me and helping me understand film more clearly. You and the nerdwriter have helped my start my channel and I thank you for that.
24 Frames Of Nick The thumbnails you use for your videos are unappealing.
Yeah it's definitely something I gotta work on, I'm only 18 I have a lot to learn.
Right on! Don't stop doing what you love! Thanks for bein' a fan!!
Holy dingus thanks for actually replying!! Love you guys!
24 Frames Of Nick no bro this video is bullshit. It’s offensive too
Good how long I've waited for this.... And now that it's here, feels so good.
Great Work Wisecrack Smartasses!
Haku is a spirit. He's the God of the River which Chihiro fell into when she was younger. When Haku said "My world" it doesn't mean the human world but to the river named Kohaku which is him. And when Chihiro went out the tunnel, she remembers everything as a dream only (a vague one.)
Seriously one of the best you've put out. The jokes were on point and the analysis was great too.
This is the only Ghibli film I've seen. I had forgotten how weird and beautiful it was. Arigato, Garyx!
Capitalism as the end of humanity was funny, but you really got me at the human arm being an elaborate system of levers and pulleys XD
Tristan Neal oh, I see. I didn't get that. Thanks.
It's about having a balanced approach to life.
Come on guys! Let's give communism a try!(again)
ditbot no
How can we give something a try again, that never came to happen in the first place? Communism breaks apart before it can form, because socialism (a term, where english is a highly insufficent language) still has a pyramid-power structure. So while the goal may be Communism, by imitating the structures of systems before it it will always fall apart.
4:07 "Japan experienced an economic boom, no offence" oh my god
"This dreamboat, Haku" basically defines my whole childhood
God, this makes me respect and admire Miyazaki even more! I wish that there's more animation that has this high level of meaning.
Gotta watch this now before Miyazaki takes it down in a week
Reed Oka-MacLaren ITS been a year
Lol 2 years later
Lol 3 years
I think it's stupid how much you fill me with joy, I just found a recent love for philosophy and I'm on a mission to watch every Miyazaki film before the end of the summer, and your channel offers both. Holy shit we were made for each other.
Haku is under 12-13 years old. His clothes are for boys and it used to be treated as an adult from 12-13 in ancient Japan.
Also, the Zeniiba's dialogue "Only love can break the spell" is not in the original Japanese version. The reason why the spell broke is a mistery.
This movie is affected by the Japanese myth and "The Night of the Milky Way Train" written by Kenji Miyazawa.
Haku is used to be think as the dead brother of Chihiro. He died when he tried to save Chihiro from drowning.
In the Japanese Myth, when people die near to the dying spirit, they become half-spirits. The spirit of Kohaku river was dying and he became half-spirit.
"The Night of the Milky Way Train" is a story of a train which it takes human souls to heaven. A boy took in the train somehow, and see off his dead friend Campanella. Campanella died when he saved a drowning boy from a river.
Hayao Miyazaki dreamed that one day he will create a film like this.
Haku saw Chihiro grew strong enough to handle her problems herself and no longer needs magical helps. So he finally can get a knew life.
"If a human is in the woods and no one is around to hear it does it register as a sentient life form?" That got deep real quick.
"Economic boom, no offense, none taken." 😂😂😂
"I just wanna work!" says no 10-year-old kid ever :>
If your life is on the line then im pretty sure any 10 yr old would work
So glad Earthling Cinema is back!! Really like this show!
Awesome! One of my favourites!
I rewatch this almost like every year and it never gets old
Another thing that affected Miyazaki's work specifically concerning passing the torch to a younger generation was the death of Yoshifumi Kondō in 1998. Kondo had been pegged as Miyazaki's directorial protege and his death due to an aneurysm, purportedly caused by overwork, affected how Miyazaki made movies and is credited as a leading factor in the announcement of his retirement that same year. Spirited Away, and Princess Mononoke which preceded it, are both stories that seem to be about remembering and cherishing the past, but moving forward into an uncertain future, and I personally believe that Kondo's death heavily influenced the themes these two movies had.
Wow! This has been an extremely awesome episode! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Oh this episode was great you guys! Keep up the great work!
Last time I was this early, Hayao Mayazaki retired and then came out of retirement and then retired again and then came out of retirement and then retired again...
Guess what... He's doing it again.
“Don’t worry, you’ve got Daddy here. He’s got credit cards and caaaaash.”
- Dad (4:50)
Spirited Away is a classic Shinto narrative about an individual's difficult journey towards the purification of spirit (both their own and others') in the face of the world's overwhelming human selfishness.
After you did this I can die happily...
The way he sys, "Shame on you, Japan" 😂 I love this movie so much ❤
i watched this movie for the first time two days ago, i’ve now officially seen it 11 times since then 😳
It still gives me the same Vibe since i was a kid . I love this movie so much .
So glad you did this, spirited away is one of my favs!
Best Miyazaki film ever. This movie blew me away as a child. It's beautiful, has some great morals, and like all Miyazaki's films, doesn't even have a villain, which I find refreshing. Thank you for the review. Now do princess Mononoke :)
The more anime on this channel, the better it becomes.
No
Good plot summary and insight - thank you. And lovely eyebrows!
Hey, just want to say, you guys are improving my writting. Had some fundamental issues with a particular question. I knew what they were but i'm pretty sure i was now better capable of laying them out convincingly and i think your style shows. thanks!
2:55 "Shame on you, Japan."
Good material for a reaction GIF that should have decades of mileage.
I have no clue why, but the censorship of people eating just cracks me up!!!
What is the secret formula behind this humor???!!
This is a rather literal reading of the film. Though I enjoy the psychoanalytic and mythological reading and sense-making to it, I enjoyed this too.
This was great, thank you for this!
im assuming garyx doesnt know that platonic love is, yknow, a thing.
love is a common theme in studio ghibli movies, both romantic and platonic. either way its portrayed in a sweet, innocent sense of the idea.
"shower them in stomach acid" this is too good for youtube
Hands down, Glad your back Mr. Wormuloid!
That was incredible, keep it up!
I love this movie. It changed my life.
A "metric ass-load" is my new reference for measuring all things. It helps that I use the metric system.
Love the humor in this episode - its unexpected and gets me to burst out laughing.
Always wondered why that film was so highly rated. Thanks for the explanation.
FIIIINALLLY!!!!!!
"LOSE THEIR KOSHER STATUS"
IM SCREAMING
My grandmother was watching this when I was younger she was watching it and I didn’t even know what is was now years later it was spirited away!! That’s why that I found it so familiar😢 She had died before 3 days before Christmas 2018 so seeing this again brings back memorys
Perfect! Very insightful! Great watch.
Howl's moving castle next?
You know--
Everyone was commenting about the "Chihrio and Haku in a relationship."
So I feel like Is should give my take on it?
I feel like Yubba's sister referring to Haku as Chihiro's "dragon boyfriend" wasn't actually serious, feel like it was more of joke or a tease. I think the reason why Chihiro didn't really deny it is because she had a lot of things to worry about.
Everyone is saying "its romantic" which not gonna lie on my first viewing I wasn't sure. But after I thought about it the relationship felt more platonic, like friend love.
Though I do understand why people are also very confused by Haku's age, not gonna lie I thought he was like 15 based on how he acted and looks.
I honestly just watched Spirited away as of yesterday so the movie is still very fresh in my mind.
Almost everyone is saying, "their relationship is romantic."
Which again their relationship threw me for a loop, but I wanna say near the end I felt like the relationship was just Platonic. Feel free to tell me what you think though! And yes I'm well aware it was a joke but like I made this in response to all the comments about Chihiro and Haku's relationship.
All people want is romance. They've got no choice but to consider that.
I think it's not romantic love.
It might be a different form of love.
And Haku isn't 15.
He might be like a thousand years old because he's a river spirit.
@@anonymousexistence4304
Yeah I know- my brain just thought based off of appearance- though I googled his actual age, wiki said he's twelve but yeah thousands of years is probably more accurate
@@anonymousexistence4304 yeah I get that, and yeah, I agree their love for one another isn't exactly romantic-
@@oblivionsghost7430 well. Anime ages can be deceiving.
Even a Loli girl can be in her hundreds.😂
12? I don't know...
Maybe his human form age might be 12.
I think I first watched this at around 7 or 8 at my nans house my first ever anime and been watching it every 1-3 years ever since something so magical I can appreciate about it
AMAZING! What a cool video! Also, what product do you use to get your eyebrows so FABULOUS!!!!!!!
HEY WISECRACK, can you analyze the classic "The Secret of NIMH"?
I laughed way too hard at "economic boom."
I always comes back to this one for, "legendary animator and confirmed Silver Fox: HaYOWZA Miyazaki"
Completely ignored the references to Shinto (the main belief system in Japan) and the fact you are able to escape Yobi should you not eat anything there (the parents fail at the first hurdle), whilst avoiding such and committing good deeds you can find yourself in Takamagahara where Deities reside.
The movie hits way better with the original Japanese voice actors
I SHIP HAKU AND CHICHIRU BUT I CALL HER CHURO😂😂😂
MMMMMMMM CHURROS
Lol
YAS! finally an Earthling Cinema, this and 8-bit Philosophy are the only reason for this channel!!
After years I've been waiting for part 2 and Bring addicted to it and crying for years for spirit away part2
Every time someone mispronounces "Ghibli", take a shot--
*Becomes Irish*
"James Franco's The Wizard of Oz" ... killed me xDDD
Something to consider is the theme of growing up. For example, the witches baby standing up by the end of the movie and Chihiro becoming brave and less timid.
This was really nice. I enjoyed it:)
