What the face does not really represent in dependency

One of the most confused characters in 2001 “SERISD AWAY” is the face of the face. Akio Nakamura has crossed the original version and Bob Bergen in the English Dub game, although the character does not speak much; He often still stands and seized, wandering back and forth between creeping and ITIBLE. In a film full of strange creatures with strange features and mysterious morals, the non -face stands above the memories of most viewers. He is the person who appeared prominently in every Merch and who gets the most speculation of Vandum about his intentions.

At the level of the craft plot, the No-Fac story is clear and direct. It is a single spirit that the protagonist Chihiro allows to a bathroom, you don’t know that you are not supposed to do so. The face does not seem obsessed with Chihiro and turns into a monster that is fully consumed in its apparent endeavor to approach it. However, it was not photographed as an explicit evil; Chihiro escapes from his progress in a relatively easily, admits that his mind is poisoned with everything he eats, and allows him to accompany her on a train to the house of the witch Ziniba. There there is no face to find his goal, and discover that he is good in knitting. In the end, Chihiro leaves him in Zeniba, and there is zero or conflict between the two letters.

This decision may feel the no-climate No -Face story, at least from the Planning Planning perspective. But the way the face does not fade is a threat that appears to be a reality with life here, or at least the reality of the story you want to tell. “

in A interview 2024Miazaki made it not face. “There are a lot of people like the face in the midst of us,” he said. “It is the type of the person who wants to hold others but has no feeling themselves. They are everywhere.”

It is an explanation that fits well with the rest of the movie. You may not wear the face on Chihiro so much because when he sees it for the first time, it is in a similar place like him. Chihiro in this first act of “SERISD AWAY” is a person who also does not have a sense of self, to the point where her name is taken directly. Cheero spends the first third struggle to find its place in the world of the strange spirit. She does not actively try to find her sense of self, but in her endeavor to save her parents, she finds her anyway.

It is easy to imagine that there was no face because Chihero was initially fascinated as a lost colleague, only to grow obsessed with seeing Chihiro in her work in the bathroom. While not the face is still alone, and outside, Chihero finds a sense of confidence and society in the bathroom suddenly. Perhaps this is why the face does not start eating people and dealing with their characters; He is trying to find an acronym for what Cheero has obtained, as he finds friends not through serious hard work but by copying people’s personalities and throwing money on people. Ultimately, the face finds that the face does not have a similar feeling of what Cheero previously found, but it takes longer to get there.

It is worth noting that even after 20 years of fans’ speculation about the lack of face, Miazaki was generally hesitant to present this character. Even when he did it, it was a short and unlimited interpretation. MIYAZAKI may see the face as a representation of foreigners who lack a feeling of self, but it does not seem to want to impose this interpretation on viewers.

The beauty of “my enthusiasm”, “,” It is very similar to the beauty of all Miazaki filmsIs there enough space for viewers to compensate for their minds about what they saw. There are not many lectures on the lessons that we are supposed to take, and do not do any of the characters that Chihiro meets well in any kind of heroic/villain division. “SERISD AWAY” trusts its viewers of all ages to adopt their imagination and reach their own conclusions, a approach that many modern American animated films consider (including Some names of the American GHibli studio filmsYou can learn from.

When it comes to what the face represents, it is really up to you. It can be a borrowing of addiction, a A metaphor for capitalism runs wild, A metaphor for raysand so on. Miazaki has his own interpretation, but don’t let this prevent you from going out yourself.
