Cartoons...

Rating: Null/10 (20 September 2000)

I love anime myself, but a lot of my friends and family wouldn't see it because the thought of it as "cartoons." Cartoons are for kids. If anyone thinks along those lines too, please reconsider. It's not the fact that there's real life actors or drawn ones, it's the message of the film and how it's presented. That's what makes Mononoke special. It presents its theme better than most live action films do. Another thing I noticed is that a lot of people I did get to see Mononoke came out saying the liked it but they thought it was a strange film. I really think that this is a targeted film, and that a lot of the American movie audience, who are used to films with action, violence or cheap laughs, will not get this movie. But, still, PLEASE try! You probably won't regret it. I know I didn't :)
