PRINCESS MONONOKE(1997)
Miyazaki's epic tale of a battle between humans and nature!!
A young warrior saves his village from a demon, but in the
process gets infected himself! He seeks out help in the East,
where he runs into Princess Mononoke, who is battling with
natures creatures against humans who are trying to destroy
their home!! This is without a doubt one of the greatest
animes ever made!! The beauty of the art is breathtaking! A+
A review from IMDb.com:
I am a big fan of the Ghibli films, especially Hayao Miyazaki's.
So I watched Princess Mononoke last week and I was truly
enchanted by the beauty and magic of this movie. The film
is set in medieval Japan and tells the story of a young prince
who kills a doomed boar and is know doomed himself. So
he goes to an old forest in which the god of the forest lives,
so the god can save him. But there is a war between nature
and mankind with his technology and machines. Of course
he has to join in and gets to know princess Mononoke. But
if you think this is only a lame "save the nature" flick, you
are wrong. No one in this movie is entirely good or bad,
even the "bad lady" has her reasons and also are the "good
ones" sometimes really selfish. Although they are all likable.
And this is the point of the movie: You always have to
find a compromise before it is too late. Beside of that,
"Princess Mononoke" has stunning and extremely creative
visuals (like every Ghibli movie) and its pacing differs
between slow passages, fast action scenes and a big
tragic final. Especially on Blu-ray real eye
candy. - Jens Bockelmann
