This is so well thought out! I was just thinking about the concept of “not being the same person in the same spot twice” but more so related to grief and how its okay to move forward those memories wont leave you. I havent watched spirited away yet but its definitely up on my list now. Thank you for writing this! 🤍

thank you for reading and supporting! you're so spot on! memories, especially when related to grief may feel like they will slip from our hands, but in reality, they're always in our hearts :) 🫶🏾

It's a good theme you write about. Growth, change, and moving on are such an important aspect of the film. I just watched The Boy and the Heron and it's as captivating as the other Miyazaki movies, if not more. Did you watch it?

yes! i watched the boy and the heron, and would say it is one of miyazaki's top films. everything about it, especially with mahito's journey of change is so touching
