Haku, listen, I just remembered something from along time ago, I think it may help you. Once, when I was little , I dropped my shoe into a river.

It finally came back to me, the rivers name was the Kahaku river, I think that was you, and your real name is Kahaku river.

You did it, Chihiro, i remember, I was the spirit of the Kahaku river.

Spirited Away is one of the most perfect movies I have ever seen. The
least
I can say about it is that there was not a single moment during it that my
attention wasn't completely focused. The plot was fantastic and
full-bodied.
Each character was given so much personality, even the little soot spiders
weren't treated as two-dimensional.
In a way the whole film felt like a dream, in that it is seamless. It
flows,
effortlessly, from scene to scene, from emotion to emotion - straight from
terror and tragedy to comedy - without the subtle bump that wakes you up,
that lets you know that the makers of the movie and the creator of the
script had wanted you to be crying but now you really should be laughing.
It
was so LIFELIKE. Sometimes in real life the most grim moments contain
honest
elements of comedy that do not seem out-of-place. But trying to put that
sort of convoluted emotion into a film creates a very thin line that too
many have fallen off of.
There was no part of the film that felt fake, or rushed, or shaky; the
intensity of the story line and the determination of the lead character
was
obvious throughout. More than causing interest, this movie made me FEEL. I
was sucked into the drama. I can rarely say that a movie made me laugh and
cry without feeling like an idiot, but the caliber of this picture is so
high that I don't even feel embarrassed. I laughed. I cried. And you will
too.
