Plot Summary

 

Princess Mononoke5dvddub,sub

princessmononokeThe march of technology, embodied in the dark iron forges of the ambitious Tatara clan, threatens the natural forces explicit in the benevolent Great God of the Forest and the wide-eyed, spectral spirits he protects. When Ashitaka, a young warrior from a remote, and endangered, village clan, kills a ravenous, boar-like monster, he discovers the beast is in fact an infectious "demon god," transformed by human anger.

Inflicted with its deadly curse, a young warrior sets out to the forests of the west in search of the cure that will save his life. Once there, he becomes inextricably entangled in a bitter battle that matches Lady Eboshi and a proud clan of humans against the forest's animal gods... who are led by the brave Princess Mononoke, a young woman raised by wolves!

Claire Danes (The Mod Squad), Minnie Driver (Good Will Hunting) and Billy Bob Thornton (Armageddon, Sling Blade), Gillian Anderson (The X-files) and Jada Pinkett Smith (Scream 2), this monumental struggle between man and nature will have you transfixed with amazement as stunning artistry blends with epic storytelling to create a uniquely entertaining motion picture!

Commentary

Hayao Miyazaki (creator of Kiki's Delivery Service and My Neighbor Totoro) brings us his epic tale of man versus nature with stunning visuals and story-telling. The dubbed version features better-than-average voice talent (Claire Danes, Minnie Driver, Jillian Anderson, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Billy Bob Thornton).

My favorite parts are when Princess Mononoke attacks Iron Town and the climactic final battle.
