"Princess Mononoke" after watching

Observe the gorgeous and delicate flying insects throughout the film, especially in the old forest, where glowing dragonflies flick across the screen. There are thousands of subtleties.

I also felt the same after watching this movie. Can our people live in true peace with nature? At that time, trees were able to make chopsticks, tables, chairs, houses, toys, cabinets and everything else they could. Humans have destroyed nature, and nature has brought us what we have created. In order to mine ore, the black hat destroys forests, kills animals, and causes demons to wreak havoc. We should coexist with nature and cherish every plant and tree around us, because - there is only one earth. Subject B knew that it was a trap, and even led his clan to engage in direct firefights with humans. This reckless behavior of "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, but preferring the tigers to the mountains" seems to me to be a kind of fearless spirit. Before Mona died, saving Ashan also showed a kind of "family affection" between animals and humans.

    I really don’t like this kind of movies such as revenge, awakening, paranoia, not listening to persuasion, inexplicably trying to conquer nature, narrow racial hatred, and so on. Some of the shots inside look densely. . . It's so uncomfortable!

    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.

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.
