First, "The View", a stunning soundtrack by Yoshinori Hisaishi and a script by Hayao Miyazaki, and

①The torture of human nature

The clue of the movie should be the "curse", and on the way the male protagonist unraveled the curse, we saw the torture all the way: why did the war and looting start? Why does the destruction of opposites come? Do human beings let go of their greed only when they are about to collapse?

As the protagonist asks: Can't we live together peacefully? Seemingly simple and childish questions, but torture human nature: Can't selfish desires be stopped?

However, it is particularly worth mentioning that, while describing selfish desires and greed, the film depicts the kind and helpless side of human beings, which is especially obvious in "Master Black Hat". Can't hate it.

②Respect for nature

Humans shoot at nature, and nature also curses human beings. Humans kill nature, and nature also destroys human beings. I am afraid that when the destruction comes, human beings will realize the "greatness of nature's power".

The Princess Mononoke in the film can be regarded as the spokesperson of nature. The spokesperson of the human being attacked with one knife and one shot - Lord Black Hat, and the "I will not forgive human beings" at the end of the film has broken the temporary nature of "reunion" - as long as the destruction At the beginning, the royal white wolf and the ghost princess with the sword and gun will return with the power of the "mountain beast".

Although the "big reunion" is "temporary", even if it is temporary, it is not difficult to see that Hayao Miyazaki's expectations for his younger generation to "build a beautiful home" and his optimism about the future of mankind can be said to be the finishing touch:

You are in the forest, I am in Dadala City, let's live together!
