The Roles of Men in Studio Ghibli Productions

What is the meaning of the role of man in Ghibli. Is that what you think? Yes, you are correct here are some of male characters which we have ranked.

1. Ashitaka, Princess Mononoke

2. Haku, Spirited away

3. No Face, Spirited Away

I put Ashitaka as first because I think he is the coolest guy in the film, he doesn't speak much he use action to show what is the importance of doing it which of his strong sense of justice. On his role he is the young leader of Emishi village and independent which in the film that he start the journey to cure his curse it has clearly describe that what sort of environment that he face on ,he is willing to face it and does not have fear to the death.

Haku I put second is because I felt he is a gentleman in the film which he helps Sen to solve her problem and encourage her which initially shown most kind-hearted, caring and compassionate In Yubaba's presence however, Haku changes from a kind-hearted person to a stoic, cold and strictly professional individual, treating everyone (including Chihiro) with sternness so as not to arouse suspicion in Yubaba. In Haku's role he is competent character as like a outstanding man which can rely on.

No Face (Kaonashiotoko) in spirited away, I personally like this character is because it has clearly describe the original sin we have. We can look at the different traits of No Face and break down the different representations behind his mask. No Face with his white mask black body as we can imagine he is loner in the movie which can represent the people that are unaccepted in society in the society we lived on. He can also represent the greed and vanity in the movie because of loneliness since he originally had no one to confide in or got to he learns use gold to lure bath house workers to fulfil his vanity. But because of Sen, No Face become a innocent personality. This clearly describe we have to have wisdom to choose what we want to be and what right and wrong also have kind heart to accept other peoples mistakes.
