rare eye opener

Rating: 9/10 (10 June 2008)

This movie was not only brilliant in the cinematic sense, it was also a story telling masterpiece. It completely changed my perception of Japanese/based animes and brought me to a whole new cinematographic experience that i had been missing. I rented Mononoke with much skepticism but i found the title after searching IMDb top 100 best films...it rated the highest among the animated genre.
True to its rating, it was extremely wonderful as there was not a dull moment in the film. I was literally glued to the screen of the not-so-predictable storyline as we have come to expect of many Hollywood makes. Mononoke achieves the ability to connect with the viewer intimately. It is action filled, emotionally drenched and with an awesome storyline. Despite the fact that i watched the Japanese version with English subtitles, i think it would be safe to say that this would be the best way to view the film to achieve its full effect.
This movie has marked a turnaround point for me in reference to my perception of anime and with due effect, i will search for the all the top rated anime films that i can get.
