The objective of this research is to study the view of family in Miyazaki Hayao's “Spirited Away”. The reserch is devided into 4 parts: 1. discussions on the historical back ground of the movie and the director's personal experoences, 2. study on the structure of the movie, highlighting its turning points and stiry line, 3. derivation and summary of the main subject od the main subject of the movie, 4. study on the family values of the movie. The study shows that Japanese people experienced economic slump called ‘The Lost Decade’ in 2001, when the movie was released while their life was wealthy with Japan's world's second largest economy position. However, they felt uneasy and youth problems have become serious. Miyazaki has always made movies on the subject of affirmation and self-reliance in the world. In this movie, he wanted to show 'the power of life' to the Adolescent children. Chihiro, an adolescent girl, established an identity without the help of her parents. She grew up with the help of the pseudo family based on Kami and witches and monsters. Here, a non-blooded family view appeared. This may be because Miyazaki was willing to support the dive rsification of the 21st century family. But also that Chihiro chose her parents, not pseudo family meant that Miyazaki returned to familyism. And he wanted to find the driving force of “the power to live” not in the love of parents, but in the absolute love of Kami and the pseudo family. It is thought that the diversity of family and the absolute love of Kami that impressed the Japanese who were mentally exhausted in 2001.
