it was silly, vacuous, and as much as i didn't want to like this, i kind of did..... some hilarious raunchy shit!
light, but not all laughs - "the life aquatic" led this viewer on somewhat of a cinematic sea voyage. a wholly enjoyable ride with the zissou crew through the ups and downs of coming to terms with the past, dealing with our own inadequacies, and what to make of the new chances we receive.
all backed by a lovely soundtrack by seu jorge!
loss of innocence
greed
enslavement
desertion
moral ambiguities
... and this is a children's movie???
"spirited away" captured a depth of storytelling and character complexity far beyond what this viewer had expected from "cartoons". a really, REALLY pleasant surprise.
