Princess Mononoke

Let me start it off by saying that studio ghibli and i didnt get along prior to this movie and movies like spirited away really disappointed me because of their reputation as amazing movies but this movie is exactly what i needed expected and wanted out of studio ghibli such a smart beautiful emotinal inspiring film. Everything about this movie is amazing from its abseloutly stunning animation the captivating plot emotinal moments battle of agendas and world building this movie is incredible. We should all aspire to be as noble smart and humble as ashitaka this kid is special you can see his nobelty and bravery straight from the get go in the boar fight where he puts his life on the line to protect his village and later on when we see him protecting mononoke in such an amazing scene wher we see him walking carrying her while they shot at him i was left shocked and amazed by him and he only crashed down when he knew she was ok it really moved me. Mononke is also an amazing charcter representing the forest against the village an ideolgy battle between preserving nature and human progression and she was so good in her role same thing with lady eboshi who executed her role as the "villan" really well as well while having alterior motives still only wanting to protect and help her people. In this movie ashitaka represents a bridge between those 2 ideologies and showing there is a way to live together and to not be fuled by hatered and he does that so freaking well. Another aspect of this movie that i really liked is the forest and its small yet really captivating lore the lore is not confusing and is presented in such a fun way but the main thing i liked about the forest was its design that reminded me so much of the legend of zelda and i loved it the forest was animated so good and every shot in the forest is beautiful. The ending of this movie is also amazing showing us the luck spirit things still in the forest and that implies the forest will grow back. The gods and demons theme was also good and something that really imoressed me was when ottoko became a demon while thinking he was leading his man one final time into battle was really inspiring and emotinal. Tge realitionship between mononoke and ashitaka was also really cute and the way they ended it off was also really nice and i adore them. Overall this movie is amazing one of the best i've ever seen and i hold it in the highest regard of animated movies and its only second to the incridibles its a 9.7/10.
