Overview
The fate of the world rests on the courage of one warrior.
Ashitaka, a prince of the disappearing Emishi people, is cursed by a demonized boar god and must journey to the west to find a cure. Along the way, he encounters San, a young human woman fighting to protect the forest, and Lady Eboshi, who is trying to destroy it. Ashitaka must find a way to bring balance to this conflict.
Review
Princess Mononoke
I’m not sure I get this one. Death begets life but lessons aren’t learned in the process? Way more intense than the typical Studio Ghibli affair.
