There he finds himself in the middle of a war between the forest gods and a village led by Lady Eboshi.įor more about Princess Mononoke and the Princess Mononoke Blu-ray release, see Princess Mononoke Blu-ray Review published by Kenneth Brown on Novemwhere this Blu-ray release scored 4.5 out of 5. In his search for a cure he is forced to leave his village forever and journey to the forest inhabited by animal gods. While fighting to save his village from the attack of a demon-god, Ashitaka comes in contact with it and is inflicted with a deadly curse. It's no surprise this is praised as one of Miyazaki's very best films.Princess Mononoke Blu-ray delivers stunningly beautiful video and superb audio in this exceptional Blu-ray release It transcends the usual tropes of animated films by being a viscerally graphic war film with plenty of heart and thought provoking ideas. Either way, the story is brilliant, but the dialogue just didn't match it.Ībove everything else, Princess Mononoke is a special film. Of course, this may only be in the English dubbed version that I watched, or the script. My only real complaint here is that sometimes the dialogue comes out a bit dull and lacks the gravitas that the very scene calls for. That's when you know the characters have plenty of depth. Yes, Ashitaka is the protagonist, but I wasn't necessarily rooting for any particular side to win. Each of the several sides to this ongoing battle against the forest have reason for fighting. The mythology is incredibly well-realized and thought out as well. Even if it's a television series, the lore calls for this to be adapted into live-action. One of my first thoughts while watching was how good this story could be in live-action form. For an animation film, the runtime is unusually long, but the epic scope and beautiful storytelling transcend typical animations. Speaking of relentless, even at over 2 hours long, this film flies by with brisk pacing and gorgeous animation by Studio Ghibli. A visceral story from the brilliant mind of Hayao Miyazaki, Princess Mononoke is a joyous ride through the eyes of Ashitaka, a brave warrior who finds himself caught in the crossfire of relentless humans and vicious creatures of the forest.
