Princess Mononoke

restored my hope in ghibli after the disappointing grave of the fireflies; insanely visually stunning film, especially when you consider that it was made in 1997??; and, with the recent controversy surrounding ghibli ai, watching this has only strongly reaffirmed the belief that behind each frame must exists the ineffable human consciousness and love that infuses art with meaning; strokes and colors are only vessels for conveying deeper truths about our relationship with nature, spirituality, and moral ambiguity that transcend algorithmic understanding "Cut off a wolf's head and it still has the power to bite."
