Just write down your thoughts.

1. Morality in this context is something that humans use to balance their own existence with the backlash of nature. Taboos too. For example, after this battle, out of reason, the black hat will definitely adjust the way of life of Da Dala, and call this change because of morality.

2. God has no morality, because God is not good, God is neutral, neither good nor evil. For the mountain god, he absorbs the dying life, spreads the power of destruction in the process of looking for a head, and crosses the border with no grass. To humans, it looks like a demon doing evil. But his ultimate purpose is actually to create new life. How can this be considered "evil" if to him there is no difference between the old life, the new life, and even his own life? He doesn't care about the passing of the old life, the new life will appear anyway.

3. The black hat represents the survival instinct of human beings, Princess Mononoke represents the natural survival instinct, the young master is the most interesting, he represents the divinity, but the role function is to form a closed loop of unsolvable tragedy. Even if you have become enlightened and become a god, you are not shot to death, and you tolerate life, you still cannot solve the contradiction between human survival and the exploitation of natural resources. In the end, you can only say "we have done our best" - we have done our best However, there is still no way to solve this original dilemma, and we are destined to receive lessons again and again in this infinite loop. The same is true of the "at least we are still alive" that the young master and Ah Shi said - at least we are still alive and have survived this ordeal, but we will not make any progress, we can only inevitably repeat the same mistakes again and again, because this is the Doomed predicament.

4. Where is the divinity of the young master still reflected? Reflected in the forest, he was dying, unconscious, and the girl in front of him made death threats with hatred on his face, but he chose to reiterate his values ​​again and again, like Jesus trying to wake up the world; more importantly, he chose Very honestly expressing his truest view of the life in front of him, he said, "You are so beautiful".
