Time forks perpetually toward innumerable futures. In one of them I am your enemy.

Jorge Luis Borges, The Garden of Forking Paths

I would say this film is an adventure story even though there is no brandishing of weapons or battles involving supernatural powers.

However, this story is not a showdown between right and wrong. It is a story in which the heroine will be thrown into a place where the good and the bad dwell together, and there, she will experience the world.

She will learn about friendship and devotion, and will survive by making full use of her brain.

She sees herself through the crisis, avoids danger and gets herself back to the ordinary world somehow.

She manages, not because she has destroyed the “evil,” but because she has acquired the ability to survive.

-Hayao Miyazaki, The Art of Spirited Away, “Chihiro’s Mysterious Town”
