1st assignment for Comparative Adaptation

Group: Five

Film: The Spiriting Away of Sen and Chihiro
Why we chose it:
This is the only movie that all of us have watched which includes the element of hero's journey

<ACT1>
1.Ordinary world:
- an ordinary japanese town
2.Call to adventure:
- a strange tunnel on the way to the family's new home
3.Refusal of the call:
- Chihiro's family is lost in an unoccupied town. Hungry, Chihiro's mom and dad eat the food gregariously without paying for the food.
Chihiro, however, chooses to look around the town and when she comes back, she sees pigs instead of her parents.
4.Meeting the mentor:
-Haku appears to tell Sen to leave the town immedately
5.Crossing the threshold:
-Chihiro, failing to find the way out with her parents, steps into the world of Ubaba by getting a job at spa town.

<ACT2>
6.Tests, Allies, Enemies:
-Test: In the spa town, people are gradually subjugated by Ubaba as they eat the food of the town and forget their original name.
Since Chihiro is unaware of such danger, she initially eats the food people give.
-Allies: Haku warns Chihiro of the danger, and she therefore manages to keep her identity.
She also becomes friends with the faceless ghost (Gaonashi).
-Enemies: Ubaba & her loyal eagle
7.Approach to the innermost cave:
-One day, Sen discovers Haku soaked in blood.
8.Ordeal:
-Chihiro discovers that Haku got hurt because he tried to steal the stamp from Ubaba's twin sister.
To ask for forgiveness and save her parents and Haku, she takes the Train of Death and arrives at Ubaba's sister's home.
9.Reward:
-On Haku and Chihiro's way back to the spa town, Chihiro suddenly remembers Haku's original name, thus liberating him from
Ubaba. Chihiro also saves her parents.

<ACT3>
10.The road back:
-Haku accompanies Chihiro in her way back to the ordinary world.
11.Resurrection:
-Chihiro finds her parents who were waiting for her at the tunnel.
12.Return with the elixir:
-The value of family
Points of contention (ifs/ands/buts):
Resurrection is a little unclear
