The vast, endless ancient forest, all legends began and ended here.
The young man embarked on a journey with a curse on his back, and the only one to see him off was the wind.
A beautiful girl with a mouthful of blood, standing beside the huge white wolf, like a princess of death in another world.
He, the boy of Ezo, in order to protect the village from being attacked by the cursed wild boar god, he became a sacrifice of hatred. There is no hope for the revival of his homeland and his life is at stake. The curse of hatred erodes his life. He also has special power. The natural will drives his life.
She, the abandoned infant of mankind, the princess of the wolf clan, dressed in white fur and holding a sharp blade, the world only tells her blood and her barbarism, but they don't know that she is the daughter of the god of nature, and ignores her noble spirit.
They met in the primitive, unchanging forest, under the clear sky of gurgling water, the first time they met, the heart of the boy was rippling, just as he was under the bright moonlight in the future, in the sharp edge of the girl, his consciousness blurred You are so beautiful that you spit out the words in your confusion and infatuation. In the collision between life and death, wildness and reason, eternal and present, he was fascinated by the wild beauty that belongs to the border and carries the breath of death.
Love and beauty are the products of wandering the boundaries of life and death. In this huge, impermanent cycle of war between heaven and man. The encounter between two people across the border is the most natural thing. They yearn for peace, but in the end they compromised and unwilling. He let her sharp blade pierce him, hugged her into his arms, and wept relatively speechlessly. On the border, they knew that they had to make a choice, pushed by the giant wheel of fate, and made a choice feebly.
Did you lose that day? The unicorn beast gave up its direct authority, but turned into spring mud, fused in great compassion. Human beings have slaughtered gods and have lived in a world without gods ever since. The way of heaven does not exist, and so does the human being.
A world without a god is sad and lonely, just as the bleak moonlight is like water, and the path is endless sorrow. Since then, the two worlds are separated, even if they are close to their sides, they can no longer track down this lost grace.
(After twenty years, I suddenly wanted to write something for this work of the highest peak of Ghibli. There is no beauty and inspirational honey, only the conflict between yin and yang, life and death, humans and beasts. In the end, the sky changes and everything disappears. Jing, mankind thinks that they have won everything, but they don’t know that it has entered the countdown, just like the residents of Sodom. Sang and Asidaka who stand on the border love pain and despair, but in the end they can’t escape farewell. Energy and tension are faintly irritated by the directors of the Kurosawa school. No matter how you look back, they are all peerless boutiques. After all, the old man is a die-hard Capricorn, and this work full of earth energy is the most suitable. It is a postscript.)
