Along the way, he encounters San (The Princess Mononoke), a young human woman fighting to protect the forest and Lady Eboshi, the head of Tatara Ba (Iron Town). The film follows Ashitaka, a prince of the disappearing Ainu tribe, who is cursed by a demonised boar god and must journey to the west to find a cure from the Forest Spirit. It is another Miyazaki masterpiece: Beautiful animation, mystical fern-gullyesque settings, and subtle music which complements the serious nature of the film.
#PRINCESS MONONOKE FULL MOVIE 123MOVIES MOVIE#
This movie will probably stand for years to come as one of the very few truly original modern fables.
Sadly, in the upcoming DVD release, there is no japanese language version. It is strongly recommanded that you watch the Japanese version with English subtitles, the voice acting is much better. Hollywood stars just don’t have a grip of the anime. Billy Crudup’s plays a very emotionless Ashitaka, Billy Bob Thornton’s Texan accent destroyed the character and the setting, and Claire Danes completely degrades San’s noble character with a whiny, valley-girl tone. Unfortunately, like most anime that maded to the west, the quality of dubbing can be improved. It contains many epic qualities such as journeying heroes, wars, and involvement from supernatural gods, however, there is a lack of any sort of romantic love. The film is quite serious, playing upon the theme of man vs. Despite it being a cartoon there is a considerable level of violence, and the situations are geared towards adults (animation is definitely not just for children). It doesn’t draw from any particular genre or type, the closest I can think of in terms of heritage is the Ainu people of northern Japan, who seem to have been the inspiration for the look and feel of it. Princess Mononoke is one of the most original and unique movies I’ve seen, even if it is a cartoon. For anyone interested in the genre this is a must see. It ranks up there with other Anime classics such as Akira and Metropolis. Surrounded by the warring characters of the humans on one side and the animal-gods on the other, each side believing in the righteousness of its cause, it is Ashitaka and San who must face each other personally and, by the end of the film, come to an understanding of each others world and make the attempt to coexist without hatred and violence.A masterpiece, not just an Anime.
She has repeatedly attacked the encampment, but after she meets Ashitaka, she becomes torn between her loyalty to the animal-gods and the world of the humans.
Outside of the encampment he is attacked by the "Monster Princess", a girl raised in the woods by Moro no Kimi (a 300 year old female dog god) and who is driven by a fierce hatred for the humans who are destroying the forest. He has begun a search through Japan to find the secret of his curse when he arrives at the encampment. For this he has been given the curse of death. His people still live in hiding, but when his village was attacked, he shot and killed one of the animal gods. Into this conflict wanders a young boy, Ashitaka, a refugee of the Emishi people.
As a result, the animal gods became angry and attacked the encampment. In order to satisfy their own needs for land and resources, Man is encroaching on their sacred territory, cutting down the trees and destroying everything else that stand in their path. The anime is an adaptation of the manga, with the same name.
