Naturalism and Humanism

Naturalism as completed is equal to humanism; humanism as completed is equal to naturalism. -- horse

1. Asdacar is a symbol of humanitarianism (and also a symbol of humanity), and there are no good or bad people in his eyes. Monk Knot and Lord Huanji didn't let him be good or bad. He longs to live in his original nature, and at the same time, he also realizes that the human society with division of labor is the destination of all people. The Ezo tribe, the primitive tribe that produced him, is indeed beautiful, but it is not the destination of all people, nor is it possible in the future. He felt the limits of the primal force, and he knew that he lived in contradiction.

2. Princess Mononoke is a symbol of naturalism. Her intuition tells her that everyone is a bad person. But she also felt that Asdacar was not a bad person. She knew she was living in contradiction.

3. Asdakar and Princess Mononoke love each other, need each other, and cooperate with each other. But they cannot be together, because the war between man and nature has only been temporarily eased and has not been resolved.

4. But people need each other after all. "Prometheus" discusses what created human beings in a theological way. We can understand that they think this way, but Easterners do not think this way. Easterners know that we create ourselves. That's right, everyone's little flesh is created by others. Westerners say that others are hell. No, others are my creators. The contradiction between Asdakar and Princess Mononoke is the contradiction between us human beings.

    In Hayao Miyazaki’s story, there are always scenes of boys waking up, girls embracing, spinning, running, hugging, and a group of capable and hot girls making fun of...Every chapter is nothing new, but it will still be moved by the love and sincerity.

Princess Mononoke quotes

  • Jigo: Give the head back now? Come on, boy. Don't be silly. Now, when the sun's about to come up? Look! He's a brainless, life-sucking god of death. At sunrise he'll vanish like a bad dream.

  • Lady Eboshi: Stay here. Help me kill the Forest Spirit, Ashitaka.

    Prince Ashitaka: You would do that? Kill the very heart of the forest?

    Lady Eboshi: Without that ancient god, the animals here would be nothing but dumb beasts once again. Once the forest has been cleared and the wolves wiped out, this desolate place will become the richest land in the world... and Princess Mononoke will become human.

    Prince Ashitaka: "Princess Mononoke"?

    Lady Eboshi: Princess of the spirits of ghouls, beasts, and ancient gods. The wolf stole her soul, and now she lives to kill me.
