[Spirited Away]

[(Anonymous)]

It's been a looooooong time since I've seen this movie and I could be completely off base, but wasn't it sort of implied that most of the passengers on that train were the spirits of dead people?

[(Anonymous)]

I was thinking the same thing.

(Anon who recently re-bought the DVD and has been watched it several times since then)

[kaijinscendre]

That was my thought as well.

If you enjoy reading people's different interpretations, there's a pretty interesting collection right here: http://nakama-britannica.animeuknews.net/2008/08/11/chihiros-train-journey-in-spirited-away

(Sorry I can't make the link clickable, but that's OpenID for ya.)

[forgottenjester]

I think that's one popular interpretation but it's not confirmed in canon.

[(Anonymous)]

Not necessarily. A lot of them were just nature spirits of various kinds.

[kallanda_lee]

I understand. For me, that movie was very good at getting to me on that deep, emotional instinctive level that isn't even rational. It was like watching pieces of a childhood that wasn't mine but still felt like it could be a memory, you know. I'm not surprised it would speak to you on that level, where it just represents calmness.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, that's it exactly. My childhood was nothing like that, but it still evoked a lot of those childhood memories/feelings.

[inkdust]

Really good way of putting it.

[truxillogical]

That's...yes. That's it exactly.

[(Anonymous)]

this is one of my fave visions of death

[diet_poison]

Her experiences do not strike me as simple, OP, though I can get why the environment is soothing.

[forgottenjester]

I always liked that train scene too. It's kind of soothing after all the commotion you just went through before in the movie.

[greenvelvetcake]

I'm with you, OP. That's one of my favorite scenes from any movie.

[truxillogical]

The music in that scene might be the most soothing music ever written. I really should get the soundtrack just to play that on rough nights.

[(Anonymous)]

when I lived in Japan and got really really stressed I would do just that: get on a train and ride it through the mountains, alongside the ocean, just staring out the window. It was so peaceful. I always felt better afterward. I wish there was some sort of train system I could ride where I am now.

[kaffy_r]

You and me, OP. You and me. It's the most gloriously peaceful and dreamlike piece of cinema I've ever seen. I love the whole movie, but this ... this is good for the soul. And especially if all those shadows are shades finding their way in the afterlife. What a beautiful late afternoon afterlife it is, eh?

[ludwigvonkoopa]

Spirited Away might have some of the most peaceful scenes I've ever seen in a movie (or in a media production, period).

I mean, the story got pretty hectic at times, but those tranquil scenes were almost overpowering.

I'd love to visit a place like that, some day, and just sit for hours next to a watery train track, or what have you.
