Princess Mononoke

Sophisticated, hand-drawn animation and an epic storyline about the conflict between ecology and the industrial ambitions of mankind turn Miyazaki's film into a marvelously potent parable. This unusually thoughtful and transporting tale never falls into a simplistic portrayal of good and evil, but rather asks how man and nature can live in harmony. Set in mystical, long-ago Japan and populated by wood spirits, nature gods, fierce demons, and other marvels of mythic dimension, "Mononoke" is a rare visual treat for dreamers of any age.

I LOVE this movie. Epic story, sweeping score, a little more violent and graphic than Miyazaki's other films, but still a stunning work of art.

A brilliant story that manages to be exciting without resorting to endless bloody violence. Don't get me wrong, I like hack and slash as much as the next guy, but it's nice to see a story that does things in a different way.

The animation itself is beautiful, and the english translation was done by Neil Gaiman, so the dialouge is witty and clear, unlike many other transations of Japaneese films.

If you haven't seen it, you should really try this. You'll like it.

The Princess Mononoke is a contemporary fable, an outstanding story, a vibrant and emotive warning for us, the human beings, but besides, iot's an invitation and (if I may)a smart returm to the roots of myth and the encounter with the Geeat Spirit of the Forest, wolves and characters that have aprofound specific weight and transcendence into we denominate the primordial essence of the nature's scream.

Far beyond its relevant significance, there is a lot of significative issues that you should take into account, because the kinetic script involves you from start to finish.

Don't overlook this picture, beacuse it's much more mature than many pretended films for adults.

Fabulous is the word to qualify this extraordinary novie. Don't miss it!

It's an allegory about the moment when Humankind stopped living with the Natural and Spirit worlds, and sought to master them. Man's need for Nature, BTW, was also a major theme of Miyazaki Hayao's earlier classic "My Neighbor Tottoro". The English dub is okay, but do yourself a favor and listen to the Japanese Audio with the subtitles "on". Don't be put off by the "Anime" tag. This isn't about transforming superheroes or kiddy card games. It's a heart-felt epic, and you'll forget you're watching animation within a few minutes of hitting "play". If at least one Miyazaki film isn't on your list of "Best Movies-Ever", then truly you are missing out.
