Movie Review: Spirited Away
I rented Spirited Away because I thought it would be about the rapture. How wrong I was! It turns out to be a cartoon from Studio Glibly, makers of the tentacle-pornography epic "Totoro" and the occultist recruiting tract "Ponyo" which is so bad the Childcare Action Project doesn't even have a review for it.
They do have a review for Spirited Away, though, so I'll be quoting from their review a lot.
Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (2001)) will not be shown in my house. It is certainly good anime and even better story telling, but the story it has to tell is dark and sinister. Masterful support from each character is used efficiently to build on the feeling of empathy for the characters. Even for a witch and all the unholy critters serving her in a bathhouse for the spirits...It is hard enough to help our youth believe in anything pure and noble then along comes more goodness by evil [Isa 5:20], when the hero is an apparition himself. And, of course, the hero is not one of the parents.
Together they form the "good witch - bad witch" pair of Wizard of Oz. Strange how these children's tales present good witches and bad witches when there is nothing in the Bible I can find by which a witch of any kind could be called "good." Witches, whether using their talents for good purposes or bad, still serve evil since a witch's "power" does not come from God. And if the power does not come from God... (This is why vibrators are banned in so many states. A vibrator's power does not come from God, so obviously it comes from satan).
Spirited Away should be rated R:
Spirited Away earned scores equivalent to some R-rated movies...Matters of offense to God include much witchcraft activity to manipulate others (control, threaten, change), many floating apparitions, shape-shifting by witchcraft, many threats by unholy force and casting spells [Deut. 18:10 - 12, 2Chr. 33:6, Gal. 5:19 - 21, Rev. 21:8, Rev. 22:14-15]. Spirited Away earned a final score of 64 which places it three points into the scoring range earned by PG-13 movies (67 to 55 out of 100), mostly because of the Offense to God elements (witchcraft, shape-shifting, spell casting, etc.) which are apparently not incorporated into the reasoning of the MPAA, thus revealing the very useful feature of the CAP analysis model...
Wanton Violence/Crime (W):
a boy forcing a berry into the mouth of a little girl
danger of a fall from great heights
bounding disembodied heads
consumption of characters by another
potentially lethal risk-taking by a child to rescue someone
threat to kill
threats of harm
threat to child, repeatedly
great fall stopped by witchcraft
Impudence/Hate (I)(1):
adolescent sass to parents
little girl running off alone in a strange place and mom/dad letting her
This impudent act is known as "exploration" and must be stopped at all costs. First a child is exploring in the woods, and next they are exploring their bodies, and next thing who know they are exploring homosexuality! Curiosity is a satanic trait that good parents do all they can to stomp out.
greed
gluttony
Sex/Homosexuality (S):
obvious focus on human nudity using a baby's posterior as the vehicle, repeatedly
Drugs/Alcohol (D):
smoking
"Saki is on the house"
Offense to God (O)(2):
shrines for spirits
apparitions, many, repeatedly
mother/father changing into pigs
little girl turning transparent
bird with human head (witch)
"In the name of wind and water within thee, unbind her. Get up!"
spell mumbo jumbo and spell casting repeatedly
magic to manipulate others (control, threaten, change)
thought casting
unholy manifestations, e.g., levitation for sinister/evil purposes, repeatedly
threats by unholy force, repeatedly
shape-shifting, repeatedly
magic to manufacture
presence of witch, repeatedly, humbling the practitioner occasionally for effect
All of the above powers were done without praying to Jesus, and therefore the power came from Satan. Identifying witches is easy: just look at how they get things done. If they get things done by praying to Jesus, they're good, but if they do things without praying to Jesus, they are witches.
