Princess Mononoke

Summary: Be literal, "artistic" metaphors are stupid!!
Review: Don't listen to rhogen, he's not smart. So what if all the characters have human actions, this movie is full of dizzying contradictions and superstitious crap!! Those who think in a literal way are much smarter than those who don't. I'm not an Evangelist Christian from Mississippi who thinks Princess Mononoke is full of paganism, I'm a Soviet Marxist who thinks Princess Mononoke is full of anti-human new-age supersition and metaphors that are silly and nonsensical. Miyazaki screwed up and should keep his enviromental anti-human commentary in Japan, like killing people will help trees grow. Watch Akira (Streamline version), Ninja Scroll, and Ghost In The Shell. All of those anime have adult and provacative content, but don't have anti-human new-age spiritual crap, "artistic" metaphores, and they don't make you puke out your lunch.

Summary: Excellent Display of how our world is!
Review: I have experienced some of the things that Miyazaki has put in "Princess Mononoke". For example, i've had to step into fights and then get rejected by both sides. We ourselves are demons in a certain view. We hurt others when they're in the way of our dreams or whatever. For example, if I wanted to rule the world and my friend opposed me, I would hurt him. Miyazaki is clearly showing this and that's why I give "Princess Mononoke" a 5-stars rating.

Summary: I liked this movie!
Review: I have never seen a movie or watched television before, however, I still I really enjoyed this movie! It is very fun to watch movies and this movie made me want to watch even more movies! I really liked the story and especially the love story. I did not like the blood because it was gross.
p.s. how weird is it that Claire Danes and Billy Crudup are dating in REAL LIFE, seven years after they recorded the voice tracks?!?!

Summary: A nature lover's tale indeed...
Review: An enchanting tale of demons, gods, humans, and the ultimate power of nature over all of them. I loved the music and the action. Lots of good fight scenes to be found here. If you are a nature-loving anime fan then this is definately the movie for you. I think the boar demon is a metaphor for the anger of spirits used to make hotdog meat. Maybe that's just me...

Summary: Good movie
Review: It had a good story about with some strong themes. Predominating themes were love, honor, man vs. nature and nature vs. machines. The art was beautiful. There were some elements of comedy, and of course the gore (oh, there goes that man's arm!).

The movie is essentially about a man who kills a demon but gets infected by it. In his search to find where the demon originated, he becomes caught between two different worlds-nature's struggle against man, and the society where the people are good but are hurting the environment.

Actually, for the movie to be called Princess Mononoke is a little strange, she's the secondary major character. It's more about the young man. Overall it was a good movie. I rented it first, which is what I would recommend with all Animes because everyone has different tastes.

Summary: AMAZING!!!!!!!!
Review: at first, i never was really interested in this movie until i've seen all the reviews everyone made(most of them said it was good)so i got more interested in Princess Mononoke. i first bought the cd which has amazing music.i just bought my dvd earlier this week and let me tell you, it is truly an amzing movie. i watched it 3 times already and i still have not grown tired of it. Sure, it has some violent scenes but besides that it is a very good movie. I am just 13 and I have loved this movie. Although this movie is very good, i recommend it is not a movie for children because of all the violence but if you are old enough, it will seem like a good movie.

Summary: I thought it was a good movie, but....
Review: To Soccer75...

PG-13 means that it's for people aged 13 and above. It is implied that people of those ages are mature enough to understand and handle the content within. It's NOT FOR JUNIOR. Don't blame whoever decided on the rating for your inattentiveness.

Also, do the words "fairy tale" or "myth" mean anything to you?

In short, please take your closed mind elsewhere.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, this is perfect fare to be watched on the computer with a pair of headphones on. As was stated above, this has a PG-13 rating FOR A REASON. Even I, a mature young woman of 19 years, was disgusted at points by the gore. If you have a young child into anime, try lighter fare like some of the things shown on Cartoon Network's Toonami block, dubbed Sailor Moon, or Code LYOKO.

For folks still hanging around, there's lush visuals, beautiful audio, and decent voiceacting to be enjoyed (headphones!), as well as a wonderful story told through those mediums. Wolves, apes, cute little rattle-head thingies, and boars abound, some playing pivotal roles. Bonds of trust and loyalty are shown. There is love, hate, and compassion all woven in. Everything flows together wonderfully.

If you can get over the violence (and have an open mind), this is definitely one to see. I for one enjoyed it.

Summary: Awesome movie!!!
Review: I recently got this movie, and I really liked it!!! I must say Hayao Miyazaki is a film making GENIUS. The art, the storyline, the characters... They were all awesome.

If you own a DVD player(and most people do)GET THIS!!!! Trust me, you'll love it.
