Mononoke Hime, the era of the gods.

Rating: 10/10 (13 July 2000)

Mononoke Hime is really a great film, even if you don't like Animé, this film will knock your socks off. Comparing this movie to some of the other masterpiece that Miyazaki has made it s in my opinion THE absolute best. In the beginning Miyazaki had made the story of a young girl that was forced to marry the wolf god (thus become the Mononoke Hime) as a children's book, but it was rejected at the publisher (a few copies still exists). Later on he used the story as a follow up to Nausicaä (the manga is probably the best ever written), a story about human courage and the pollution of the earth. Most of the production crew of this movie was volunteers working for nothing, and when you know Miyazaki, you understand why. Over all a really great film with beautiful scenery and music, great character designs and high powered action.
