Therefore, a thorough understanding of "Princess Mononoke" went through a process of breaking and then standing. —— "Princess Mononoke" is not a work on environmental protection, as most people think. It is true that the film shows the various conflicts between man and nature. The wild boar group led by the second victim desperately defending the forest and the humans who want to seize the forest are also fighting fiercely. However, the incarnation of the Qilin Forest and the patron god Qilin Beast neither help the wild boars nor punish humans. He was at ease, calm and calm, turning a blind eye to the fight.
In order to be able to further develop the Kylin Forest, humans want to kill the Kylin Beast, the patron saint of the Kylin Forest. According to the legend, the unicorn beast can absorb life and is terrifying, and the expansion of human desire surpasses the horror. As a result, all kinds of oppositions and conflicts have created a resentment that can never be reconciled. Human beings were originally born out of nature, but finally deviated from nature, and in turn made infinite claims to nature. The male protagonist Asdaga, who passively resolves these resentments, is drawn to the Kylin Forest by fate, trying to reconcile the contradiction between mankind and the natural world, but he plunges himself into contradiction.
The war is finally inevitable.
At dawn, the waning moon is like a hook. In the final calm before the war, Asdaga was awakened by pain, and the theme song sounded at this time. The dialogue between the wolf king Monor and Asdaga has become the core part of the whole film.
Asdaga hopes to be redeemed with love and can live with Asan; however, Mono believes that Asdaga’s love will only make Ashan miserable and make her fall into helpless loneliness-cowardice The humans abandoned Asan, making her unable to be a human being. The wolf clan accepted her, but made her a tool for revenge against humans. This became a destiny that she could not get rid of all her life. Asdaga cannot explain the question of how to live together, but he still has a firm belief in love.
The unicorn beast, who gives life and takes life, lets us know that life and death are just two sides of a copper plate, and the essence is not different, but we are always obsessed with the surface and insist on distinguishing the front and the back.
The time of gain is the time of loss, and the same is true for gain and loss. When the unicorn beast loses its head, the entire forest falls to death, and human pursuit backfires. The female head was originally an extremely intelligent person, but she was blindly arrogant and stunned, and was used by others. Human beings use their wisdom to transform nature, hoping for a happier and better life, but wisdom is also arrogant and deceiving. If wisdom eventually destroys hope, I don't know if this is sadness or irony.
The unicorn beast uses its death to complete the rebirth of the forest, and also completes its own eternal life. And when human beings finally start to live alone, will they be finally defeated by loneliness?
Hope is conceived in the sadness of the work, and firmness is hidden in the confusion. On the westward journey of Asdagar, pictures showing history, humanities, villages, nature, towns, and architecture slowly unfolded. The social scenes of that era were also vividly revealed. In the solemn and natural style of painting, a strong humanistic atmosphere exudes. In the age of war, the period of great technological progress, the turbulence and violent changes in the social transformation period, human beings have stepped out of the ignorance, worship and fear of nature, and have begun to grasp their own destiny. As a result, their self-awareness and humanistic consciousness have rapidly expanded and they are eager to establish A new human-centered world order. The deformed expansion of desire eventually leads to the loss of rationality, and the devil of the soul emerges without roots, and the seeds of resentment are deeply buried. The story of "Princess Mononoke" begins with hate and ends with love. Love and hate are equally powerful and unfathomable. Asdaga’s phrase "You are so beautiful" is the most moving moment in the film. However, love cannot redeem their destiny. In the face of a powerful destiny, human power appears so weak and insignificant.
Although love cannot eliminate differences, it allows hope to continue. Therefore, the only hope the author puts forward when seeking a way out is "love". Mono's love for Asan made her abandon her last hatred. Only at that moment did Asan completely become her daughter; Asdaga's love for Asan made her the beauty of humanity. A resuscitation; the great love of the unicorn beast eliminated the last resentment of Subject B. The torrent of the times may sweep through some of our insignificant emotions, but the glory of human nature will continue and continue to sublimate with true love from generation to generation.
The music of "Princess Mononoke" is breathtaking, the atmosphere is not lost in tranquility, the atmosphere is full of affection, and the sadness is revealed in affection, which is the finishing touch of the whole film. Although after "Princess Mononoke", "Spirited Away" finally surpassed its box office, in my opinion, "Princess Mononoke" is a perfect interpretation of Eastern philosophy that those subsequent works can never surpass.
