Kiki's Delivery Service
Such a pure and heartwarming movie. I am legitimately wondering if this movie inspired Spider-Man 2 because the plots are eerily similar. Both movies involve a plot where a hero is trying to balance helping people while also struggling to balance their delivery jobs and relationships. In this struggle, in both movies the protagonist ends up late to an important commitment because of their other competing commitments. 387
In the middle of both movies, both characters temporarily lose their powers and are told its due to some psychological struggle. They both then take time to understand their identities while spending time with the important people in their respective lives. Finally, with a renewed sense of identity, both heroes see a catastrophic event happen where the person they let down earlier in the movie is in danger, and they gain their powers back in saving that person. The resemblance is uncanny. 999
