Surprised no one has mentioned the representational content of No Face - it represents YOU, THE VIEWER.

The curiosity, the situational greed and lust, the remorse and the will to be useful and healing...

I love this film, and since learning about /why/ the film was made, I have a deep respect for the execution of something that is at once beautiful and inspiring and kid friendly, while also dealing with an extremely adult topic. Layers.

I'd be interested in hearing from Japanese lawmakers about the effect this had on the legislation drafting and enforcement process.

/why/ do you think it was made?

>The film was made to please the ten-year-old daughter of Hayao Miyazaki's personal friend, director Seiji Okuda.
