Princess Mononoke

Alright, I finally got this site set up and I think I'll kick it off with a review of the movie Princess Mononoke. This movie has an excellent storyline, it is based around the character Ashitaka, he saves his village in the begginning of the movie by fighting a demon that ends up cursing him which sends him on a mission to find a way to stop the fighting that caused the demon to come to his village. He is very self-righteous and I don't especially like his character, my favorite is actually the one from which the movie gets it's namesake. San, or Princess Monenoke, is a girl who was raised by the wolf god Moro. She is a warrior who fights on the side of the animals in the war over the mountain they live on. On the other side is Lady Eboshi, a woman bent on ruling the world, she is in control of Iron Town, where iron is mined and made into weapons. Most of the movie takes place in the events leading up to the final battle between the giant animals of the mountain and the humans of Iron Town. This movie has a great storyline and breathtaking art. It is an amazing movie and I would recommend it to anyone who has a tolerence for violent content.
