#Watch princess mononoke full movie movie#
By the end, I realized that this movie carried a powerful moral with it: man's continuous tampering with nature brings about as much savagery as it does progress, as much suffering as it does good, and that a sound compromise must be struck between nature and civilization. By the last half hour I was hooked to the screen, eagerly awaiting the conclusion I wanted so badly to end the bitter conflict of the plot. In fact, I even began to enjoy the accomplished yet subtle computer generated effects interspersed throughout. I no longer disliked that every character had abnormally large eyes (though not over-sized to the point of utter absurdity) or that the English overdubbing was a little choppy. After Ashitaka leaves his village to search for a treatment to remedy his affliction, I no longer cared that this was an animated feature I was on the edge of my seat, wondering what would happen next. After about ten minutes of dwelling on the follies (and there are, in my opinion, many) of the "anime" style of art, I became enthralled with the quickly unfolding plot and the subsequently dire fate bestowed upon Ashitaka, the protagonist of the film. Upon watching Princess Mononoke, I must say I first thought it would be very difficult to look past the animation style and see it for what it was- a dynamic film directed be the highly acclaimed Hayao Miyazaki. Instead of focusing on one or two aspects of the movie I do not like and formulating a biased opinion based on my hasty and clouded notions, I can now decipher both the good and bad points of a given flick. Recently, however, I have forced myself, with great difficulty, to open my mind and look at the entire picture.
A few years ago I would have tossed this film into a collection of movies I like to call the rubbish pile.
