I really like this character, I like who she is, I like how she is real and I like how she develops.
This whole movie was just about her developing.
How she was so eager to leave home but didn't realize how hard it would really be.
How she had been niave.
And how a thirteen year old has to live with being an adult well before her time.
Nothing happens in this film. NOTHING.
But that is what makes it so unique.
It's not following a story line, it is just showing things happening and how it affects Kiki.
How in the end, she has lost her enthusiasm for her adventure but learns what it is to be brave.
The film was all about her, her just trying to be an adult, trying to be competent, trying to take care of herself but what Kiki gets in return is a deep depression.
She knows no one in this world and it is only by the goodwill of people themselves that she pulls through but her own inner demon is what she has to win against.
She's insecure, shy, but it is through her courage to be accepted that she makes it.
There is no bad guy trying to make Kiki's life hard, she is doing that herself.
Every personal problem that was caused in this film was caused by herself.
And it is only by accepting herself in the end, that she grows.
She expected some great adventure but got in return reality of just how hard it would be.
And even though she knows that the rest of her time won't be roses and daisies, she still knows that she can do it. And that's all that matters.
Kiki is a very unique character.
And one we don't always understand, but try.
