Should be called Prince Asuka

As a whole, Asuka dominates the plot!

This movie has the same effect as "Nausicaa". In the war between man and nature, man will still compromise in the end!

The white wolf tribe, the orangutan, and the pig god represent the side of nature. Asuka and Princess Mononoke play a role in easing the relationship between man and nature! The unicorn beast is a natural god and a natural disaster! On the one hand, it absorbs the resentment created by humans, and on the other hand heals this system, but when humans do too much, he can also destroy it! Just like the resentment it absorbed in the end destroyed the entire forest and humans, but it also made the forest alive!

    Among the three major themes of environmental protection, anti-war and flying that Hayao Miyazaki is good at explaining, this film replaces flying with women's rights, and praises and criticizes women's rights at the same time. It is also one of the few male protagonists. There are limitations and stubbornness, and the male protagonist is portrayed as the most determined hero. After the childishness is lost, it becomes much more dignified to explain the profound propositions in simple terms. The mutual game and entanglement between civilization and nature is an eternal proposition.

    This is probably the most magnificent one of Hayao Miyazaki's works. The music bursts into a tragic atmosphere from the very beginning, grasping the hearts of the people. The gleaming plankton in the ancient forest reminds me of Mushishi, but unlike Yuki Urushihara, who excludes all subjective violence, nature and humans described by Hayao Miyazaki are sharply opposed and irreconcilable; human production methods are also the fourth of Mars. Splashing iron instead of docile farming. Hatred turned into a curse to erode the gods, and there is no solution to contradictions

Princess Mononoke quotes

  • [San's first line]

    San, The Princess Mononoke: Go away.

  • Lady Eboshi: [as Ashitaka tries to keep his arm from drawing his sword] Does that right hand of yours wish to kill me, Ashitaka?

    Prince Ashitaka: [struggling] If it would lift the curse, I'd let it tear you apart. But even that wouldn't end the killing now, would it?

    Lady Eboshi: No, it wouldn't. It would have to kill all of us to be at peace.
