Epic adventure of Man vs. Nature

Rating: Null/10 (28 December 2000)

This is one of the best animated movies I have seen. The re-released DVD version enhances the colors, and detail that the artists brought to this movie. There is a flowing style to the animation that keeps it smooth, and unobtrusive.
The dubbing into English Sucks. The American actors are good, but the storyline in english varies greatly and seems nonsensical to american audiences. I advise anyone who wishes to watch this film to watch with the original Japanese language and the English subtitles it retains a very powerful story andmeaning. Anyone into Asian films immediately understands this.
Synopsis: After a Boar-God-turned-Demon tries to destroy Ashitaka's village. Ashitaka carries a curse. He must leave his village to find the Deer God, to see "with eyes unclouded", and maybe get cured. Along the way he meets Princess Mononoke the wolf-girl, and her pack The Wolf-Gods, who are fighting Lady Eboshi, the leader of the ironworks, who is trying to kill the forest gods(the Deer-God, and the Boar-God), who's mountains she wished to get iron from.
This is an Anime must for any collection. This is not a martial arts movie. It's about Man vs Nature. The Message is powerful and animation is brilliant.
