So I saw Spirited Away, this little 7 year old animated film by Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki.
I'm blown away. It's like one big modern take on Alice in Wonderland, with lots of references to classic Japanese mythology and central themes of love, understanding, and forgiveness. It's a beautiful and complex film and more than merits my mentioning it here as "art." Why did no one tell me about this sooner?
Don't take my word for it. Take their word for it.

Did you see this as part of film night in the video room?
I was going to, but the people running it never showed up so I went and bought the dvd and watched it. Glad I did, too.
