spirited away IS my fav film of all time!!! (i got it in 2003 on its release in the UK and hav seen it at least 25-30 times)

however there is one question that i need answering as i dnt understand why it happens.

IF U HAVENT SEEN THE FILM YET DO NOT READ ON AS IT CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!

(spoilers start here)

when Chihiro and her parents enter the big building, at the begining of the film, that runs through to the other world; the big building of which they pass throught is RED - however when they leave through the big building, at the end of the film, back to the human world; the big building is all stone (even though on the otheside it is still red, but faded) and covered in moss and their car is filled with leaves!!!


(spoilers end here)

can anyone explain this!!!!???? (the only explaination i can think of is that she has been in the other world a lot longer than she thought so part of the building would be all old etc. but that still dosent explain why her car is full of leaves)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEEEEEE POST AN ANSWER!!!! thx

yh but how r the leavse meant to get in the car?

I beleave it's a diffirent time frame in the spirt world
what be a few weeks in the spirt world is 3 or 4 years
in real time of the human world.

My inspiration of my work

The car's windows were left open, so the leaves blew in. In woodland it does not take long for leaves and 'dust' to settle. 'Dust' I take to be a misleading word. We think of household dust which may take time to accumulate (but still only a couple of days), but if by 'dust' Chihiro's father means just small debris, bits of leaves, twigs, insects etc this could fall all in one day.

There actually need not have been any time at all passing in the real world - a day or so would be enough. However we just don't know, the movie doesn't tell us and anyway it's not important: by inference we thus learn that what happens inside the spirit world is what's important.

When the family arrived the building was 'wearing' a different exterior so as to entice them in, it was already part of the spirit world. They saw a spirit world exterior. When they left it was wearing it's ordinary real-world exterior.

Notice how the two walks through the tunnel are almost identical - how Chihiro holds her mothers arm, the way she behaves and what she says. This is a symbolic mirror image of entering and leaving the sprit world.

I agree... that the "...walks through the tunnel are almost identical" and i agree that it could be a time differents between the spirit world and the real world or that the time is equal because the "...spirit world exterior" deceives there eyes!

Its like "Alice in Wonderland", but in that case its a dream!

I don't agree with that. To me, the fact that they used the (almost)exact same scene for the exiting is to show how, to the family, it seems like nothing had happened; basically, they came in, blank blank blank, they came out.

That was the feeling I had when I was watching that scene. It's like a deja vu feeling, where I felt like I was thrown back into the beginning of the movie, and it was only a while later that the thought of them reusing the scene occurred to me (and to me, it was one of the most powerful scenes in the movie).

After all, you have to remember that the whole family doesn't remember what happened, and what better way to reset their memories than when they first entered the world itself.
