Hopefully these aren't questions that have already been addressed, but I'm curious (not to mention too lazy to search the board).
I just got Spirited Away a couple of days ago. I absolutely LOVE it, and would recommend it to anyone, but a couple of the smaller plot devices confused me. In particular, the meaning of No Face and that giant baby.
At first I was confused by the stink spirit turned water spirit, but now I'm thinking it must have something to do with pollution in Japan, and perhaps the people of Japan's ignorance of what they are doing to the natural landscape.
Any thoughts? Comments? Baseless insults? Yeah, those are greeeaat.
Fire away.
