After watching it, I was reminded why I am so excited to be an animation major. I did not agree with everything in the film, however, I definitely appreciate how Hayao Miyazaki envisioned this story, and played it out. Even though it was kind of violent for an animation film, all of the violence worked with the story rather then just being in there to be in there.
I would definitely recommend this film to people to watch. If you need to take a break while studying, you should definitely watch this; you won't regret it.
Mononoke-hime! Such a good movie!
ReplyDeleteI actually find it funny that you think its 'kind of violent for an animation film'. Why can't animated movies be violent? Because, to be honest, there are a LOT of movies more violent than Mononoke. I can think of Akira and Ghost in the Shell, for one, as well as End of Evangelion.
Sorry, that's a pet peeve of mine ^__^ People always thinking that animated movies are exclusively 'children films' so they are surprised at violence, sexuality, cursing, plot, etc. I don't think that's what you were thinking, but I felt I had to call it out nonetheless.
I didn't say it was bad that it was violent, I'm just stating that it's not the norm. ;) I hate when people think that cartoons are just for children's films, that doesn't mean it's bad to notice when they aren't being treated as one. =j
