Regarding "Japanese culture in the film"[edit]

According to the section, it says ----In the scene during which Chihiro squashes with her foot the small black slug that inhabited Haku (a spell laid by Yubaba), Kamajii tells Chihiro to "Cut the line!" "Cutting the line" is a Japanese good-luck charm performed by making a chopping gesture through another person's connected index fingers.---- However, I wonder whether "good-luck charm" is a negative mean in English. This is because the original, Japanese, word is "en-gacho" which can be directly translated to "I cut our friendship with you", means "I don't want to talk to you anymore" or "Don't come any closer". Although this is a relatively old-fashioned expression, it is usually used to make fun of a friend who accidentally involved some dirty trouble. I don't think "good-luck" is an appropriate translation. I recommend the editors to change it to a better expression. --- 12:23 (UTC) December 27 2007 isida1028 —12:23, December 27 2007 (UTC)

"List of films considered the best"[edit]

Twice, this article links to the "List of films considered the best"[1]. The first time is in the third paragraph, and links directly to the #animation section of the article. The second time is in the "See Also" section of the page.

So here's an odd thing: Spirited Away isn't mentioned anywhere on that page. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and Laputa: Castle in the Sky represent Japanese animation in the animation section. Tokyo Story, Seven Samurai, and Roshamon are in the Japan section. Maybe Spirited Away was on this page at one point... but it isn't now.

Now don't at me. I agree that Spirited Away is one of the best films made. But if we're linking to that page, and Spirited Away doesn't appear on it, doesn't that just hurt the argument that Spirited Away is one of the best movies ever made? It's like turning to an expert and saying "This guy thinks it's great!" and the expert responds with "Yeah, whatever." Jmgariepy (talk) 05:42, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Not sure if it was on the list previously but later removed, but here is a source that validate the claim and justify the inclusion on the list: Loveridge, Lynzee (October 31, 2018). "BBC Honors Spirited Away, Akira Kurosawa in List of Greatest Foreign Language Films". Anime News Network.

Oh, I'm certainly not arguing that it doesn't deserve the accolades it gets. I'm just saying that those two links seem inappropriate. It's a kind of lie to link to a site that lists the greatest movies of all time and *infer* that Spirited Away is on that page, when it isn't. The movie already gets enormous praise from numerous sources. Why link to a page that ignores the movie? Jmgariepy (talk) 06:12, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
