film; princess mononoke (1997)

terrifying, ethereal, hopepunk
(5/5 stars)

In this stellar animated film we are urged to “see with eyes unclouded by hate.”

And rather than tell us what that means, hiyao miyazaki takes us on a journey with Ashitaka and shows us how.

The art of Princess Mononoke is beautiful, detailed, and gives you a feeling of the texture of the emotion in every scene.
