What a beautiful essay! The lesson is apparent to me now, to strive for Love and let go of hate!

It's truly a masterpiece of a film and you can tell by how there is no good and bad like you said, most characters work for a good cause in their view and they all make mistakes, you can make the case that either side is bad or good and it really makes you think about what is important in life, what you should strive for and how you should live. And besides all that, it also didn't have a satisfying ending. And that's a good thing, because life most of the times isn't satisfying or ending well, and that's when it can teach you the most. Now in my honest opinion, I don't view both sides of aggression as equal hence I don't think that the eyes unclouded by hate message of the film is really great. Iron town is essentially a town run by the outcasts of society with the women being empowered and having jobs and equal treatment and the lepers being reintegrated into society, but this doesn't change the fact that they are attacking the ecosystem and home of thousands of animals and organisms. And we can really resonate with them because they are given a voice this time. The animals and the environment in general is simply trying to live and the humans one the other side are trying to dominate it, and take its life and vitality away to fuel their town and others. You simply cannot equate the hatred of the aggressor and that of the entity that is resisting the aggression. One is justified and the other isn't.

The difference between Disney and Miyosaki's films stems from the fact that America is a Christian country and Japan is Buddhist. Christian churches, especially the Catholic ones, demanded that clearly good people overcame clearly evil people. The stories echoed Christ's triumph over evil. Buddhists have a more realistic view of the world, one that is not either/or like Christianity.

This was my first Miyazaki film, and it will forever be my favorite.

if this was live action people would call it one of the best movies of all time 😔

Bro where are you now ?

Tear jerker,when she feeds him because he is to weak to chew. Thanks from Panama city Beach, FL

There is a world that we all belong to and it is streaming parallel to our world. There emotions are more convincing than logic. The purer a heart is the more succesful is the person. People never lie there as no one can lie. People can see the inner being of everyone. Miyazaki pictures that world. He has been there and he can depict it for us.

Actually both USA n Japan has it own beautiful n unique

but what did Miazaki mean by the girl in the home village giving our protagonist her wedding gift, just for him to leave and never return to her?

Great Video, live that you keep it simple and not unnececerry long

wasn't expecting such a small channel to have such nice editing. good going man!

I think you’re wrong. I feel like it’s pretty obvious that lady Eboshi is supposed to be somewhat of a villain in the movie. She has many really good qualities, but that doesn’t make all her other actions against the forest and life in general less evil. She is a realistic and complex character with a good side, but her main mission still is to destroy nature and everything else in her way for the benifit of her people. At the core, it seems like she is basically just a metaphor for humanity, killing everything and anyone in your way for your selfish pursuit of power and influence, while still being able to show compassion to your people tho. I also believe it is really unfair to put her on the same moral level as San. While San is a bit ignorant of the human’s fates, ultimately Lady Eboshi is the one who started all this. Everything San does is just a reaction to Eboshi’s crimes against the forest and it’s inhabitants, and i even believe that she is correct for trying to stop these actions with violence, because, let’s be honest, Lady Eboshi would never take anything else seriously. And even while Ashitaka actively chooses not to go this route, he still openly condems Eboshi’s plans and actions through the whole movie. He isn’t as directly affected by Eboshi’s actions as San is, which is why he doesn’t use violence against her like San does, but for example in the opening scene we can see that he also actively chooses violence against opponents if directly affected. Just becausecharacters have nuances and conflicting qualities, does not mean that they are morally neutral. Other than the deer god maybe, who seems to be 50/50 equally as destructive as life-giving.

I was looking to understand the story and you just took me without any hindrance and you are a story teller mate.

Wait, I knew your voice was familiar, you're one of the members of the Corridor crew!

Bro dropped a banger and just dipped p.s. love what ur doing at Corridor

The true villains of this film is humanity and nature

Idk. I found the main woman of iron town quite unforgivable. But hey I hated Iboshi and wanted her whole town sent to kingdom come. 😅

Mononoke-hime was the first Ghibli film I ever watched. My childhood favorite film was Ferngully so Mononoke-hime was a more mature version of that

I came here cuz i'm on a Miyazaki kick and the reveal at the end really threw me for a loop lmao. It's dean from Corridor!

What a legend. Dropped one beautifully poignant analysis of a beloved film that was meticulously edited with so much obvious care and attention, and then peaced out entirely. No other videos on his channel. Iconic.

Gorgeously succinct. Well done!

Guy comes, makes one great video, leaves

Just watched this and then found your video. It was a great tribute.

Since i have watched it 2013 for the first time, it has stayed at the number 1 place of my fav movies list

I honestly think princess mononoke is the most appealing movie by studio ghibli unlike some of the others which are bit depressing or it lacks much action.

needed to ditch the feminist bullshit, environmentalism crap and pacifist preachiness, otherwise good

You encapsulated everything I loved about this movie in such a beautiful and concise way. Incredible video.

I've only seen 4 Studio Ghibli films: My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Spirited away, and Ponyo. I could say Ponyo is my favorite but I feel like Nostalgia could been clouding my mind a bit, But Princess Mononoke is definitely My Favorite SG Film, and that's with eyes unclouded. It's a Genuinely Amazing film, and it shows peace in its purest and hatred in different ways, whither it be nature or man. And how Man should live with nature and understand peace instead of distorying it of its beauty.

This is the only video this channel has? Wow. I really liked this a lot. Would love to see more.

The music was a paid actor.

I don't even know what to say. I despise this movie with all my strength and consider it to be the worst thing I've ever watched. And I know that nobody would even want to hear my points.

Thank you!

Just stumbled across this video and was very pleasantly surprised to discover it was Dean from Corridor Digital/Crew!

Say what you want about Miyazaki as a person, he knows how to tell a good story.

my favorite film also...

gorgeous!

wow this was an amazing video. i wish you the best of luck on this platform

I loved the video. It's my second favourite film of all time. But at the end there you said, "...even though the world will never be wholly good..." I suspect this is because of the existence of the demon of hatred and of greed. But what about the serpent in the garden isn't good, last I remember it was very good.

This video is so well done and your description of the movie has never been spoken so eloquently. A timeless classic worldwide. Thank you

Bro made one masterpiece than dipped...tragic really.

It is not the kind of person you already are, it’s the personality and path you choose to take upon yourself. Some choose to be greedy and filled with hate while others choose to fix problems and be truly strong.

Good vid. You made one vid and dipped lol

Why does this guy have only one video tho? Is there another main channel or sth? Pls tell me :'(

I can't believe it took me so long to get it, but I now realize the reason for San's namesake is because she is the third child of Moro- San means "three" in japanese.

Great Video :D

Finally I found one who also has this movie as his favourite of all time. Back in the day it was such a eye opener..the lessons about love, hate, nature and that you can have love for another person without the need for it to be physical like all the damn Disney movies. I know it sounds corny but especially the early Ghibli movies really had an impact on who I have become.. not like world changing but they are have just been the jumping point to broaden my character, my view on the world and a more different Ristes view on myself and interactions with others.. it is amazing to me.. to this day.. how something like a movie can have such a positive impact on your life.

Bro made one banger of a video and disappeared

My first anime love. The standard I hold which few can bare, for you, i have to thank.

just realised my boy Dean is part of the Corridor Crew nowadays
