Princess Mononoke

This is one of my favorite movies. Its set in the middle ages of Japan where gods and demons still walk among us. The prince Ashitaka must go on a long and difficult journey to get rid of curse that slowly eats him alive. He makes new friends and enemies while he is sucked in a war between humans and boars 5 meters (16 feet) high. This movie should have gotten an Oscar for animation or at least been nominated. Its sad to know that outside Japan this movie did not receive the credit it deserved.

Unbelievably amazing movie. I first saw this before it was translated while with a dear friend. I next saw the preview screening only to discover Neil Gaiman was sitting behind me (he adapted the English translation). Very cool guy to talk about it briefly.

Watched it again tonight (for maybe the 5th or 6th time). So beautiful. And the music is perfect.

The kiddos loved it. First time for them.

I seriously think this is the best animw movie EVER!!!! No competition

this is one of the movies that I've been planing to watch since forever ago
and now that I've finally watched it im a little annoyed for not watching this masterpiece so long ago

What an epic film. Also what a bloody film? I wasn't expecting so many severed limbs and heads flying off but I'm here for it. Did Ashitaka just become my favorite Ghibli character? Yes. I also adored Yakul and San's wolf brothers - I'm a real sucker for animal companions.

I really love a complex antagonist. I found Lady Eboshi fascinating. I really love when no one side is purely evil.

The social commentary is really well done here. I feel like this is everything Miyazaki wanted to achieve with Nausicaa but better realized. The lore and worldbuilding are so rich, I'm left wanting more from this world and these characters.

Now for my main criticism - for a movie titled "Princess Mononoke," she's actually rather under utilized.

My favorite Miyazaki film. Simple stunning! Love the characters and the story.

This might be one of the best Anime movies I've seen, despite being over 20 years old at this point! The beautiful hand-drawn animations and moving music create a magical yet imperfect world. An imperfectly human world. This movie holds its ground against the many movies that depict the Humanity vs Nature archetype. You cannot help but be provoked by the fragility of life and the depiction of life and death in the movie perfectly describes how life ebbs and flows. All of this heavy and philosophical reasonings about life are nestled within a story that even a child could understand. No character seems to be truly evil, and the only one that seems truly good is Prince Ashitaka. But even he is struggling with his corruption.

This was a masterful story that kept me in awe and entertained all the while a philosophy of life was weaved throughout. Well done Studio Ghibli.

Literally my favorite movie. I first saw it when I was 10 and have loved it ever since. I love it's environmentalist message and gives me greater pause to consider our effects on the earth we live on. It has, in my opinion, only gotten more relevant in time, especially in light of the recent election here in the US. It makes me work on striving to see with eyes unclouded by hate even when the horrors of the world make it hard to do so. I see something I didn't notice before each time I watch it. It is simply a masterpiece.

As always, another masterpiece movie by Ghilbi Studio <3
