There is a place where everyone may not understand the end of Spirited Away, that is, Grandma Tang told Chihiro that if she wants to let their family go back, she must recognize her parents in a group of pigs, Chihiro only took one look, and directly told Grandma Tang the answer, there are no parents in this group of pigs, and there are indeed no parents in the final answer, and they also smoothly returned to the human world. So how did Chihiro do it?
In fact, the answer has been expressed in the previous story, that is, the bitter pill given to Chihiro by the river god. A total of three people have eaten this bitter pill, namely Chihiro, Hakuryu and Faceless Man.
After Chihiro got the bitter pill, he returned to the room and carefully tasted it when eating the bun, the taste was very bad, the white dragon was stolen from the former mother-in-law's seal and was attacked to death, Chihiro fed the white dragon to eat the bitter pill, the faceless man in the bathhouse oil house everywhere to eat people swell, Chihiro in order to save him, the bitter pill that should have been given to his parents to the faceless man.
Chihiro didn't have a big reaction after eating it, just felt a little bitter, and after Eating it, Hakuryo spat out the seal and the worm that Mother Tang put into his body in order to control it, while the faceless man ate it and spit out everything he ate in the oil house, at first he chased Chihiro and asked Chihiro what he had eaten, and in the end, he silently sat on the tram with Chihiro after all of it was vomited.
From this side we can see that the bitter pill has the effect of removing the filthy things in the body and mind, Chihiro has always been a representative of innocence and kindness, so he did not react after eating it, the filthy things on the white dragon's body were the seals he stole from his former mother-in-law, and the bugs left by the soup mother-in-law in his body, when the white dragon ate the bitter pills, they all spit out, and everything that the faceless man ate after coming to the oil house was filthy, when he ate the bitter pills, Spitting out everything he had eaten in the oil house, Chihiro also said that he would only get bad after he came to the oil house, and it would be better for him to leave the oil house, so Chihiro took the faceless man and took the tram to the former mother-in-law.
In addition to the effect of removing filth, there is also a role of the bitter pill is the function of the clear purpose, from the white dragon can be seen, the former mother-in-law took the baby of the child of the tang mother-in-law, with the original three head men into a baby, but the former mother-in-law did not see it, the faceless man used the gold turned into mud to the soup mother-in-law, the soup mother-in-law still did not see it, when the white dragon woke up after eating the bitter pill pills, but told the soup mother-in-law that his most precious things have been wrapped. At first, Grandma Tang looked at the gold given by the faceless man, and there was no reaction, but then suddenly understood, looked at the baby, and used magic to see clearly that the baby was wrapped.
When the baby was transferred, the white dragon was in a coma, he did not know this matter, but as soon as he woke up, he saw that the baby was adjusted without using magic, and Tang Grandma wanted to see that she also had to use magic, and the ability of the white dragon was lower than that of Tang Mother-in-law, but he could see it, the only difference was that he had taken a bitter pill, which had the effect of seeing through all illusions.
Chihiro had also suffered from bitter pills, so when Grandma Tang asked Chihiro which of the pigs was her parents, Chihiro just took a casual look at it and understood that there were no parents in this group of pigs, and finally successfully rescued her parents and returned to the human world.
Spirited Away is a very good animated film that contains a very deep meaning of life in it, and each character has the meaning of each character's existence, and all represent different meanings. Many plots are worth pondering.
