You Need to See this Movie

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2008)

Wow! This is one heck of a movie! The 8.3 (or whatever #) rating is absolutely too low as the movie should be in the top 25 movies of all time! This is Miyazaki's best work, narrowly defeating Spirited Away, and was the biggest hit in Japan until the Titanic (for reasons unknown to me). The animations is superb, the soundtrack is amazing, and the story is one you will remember forever. If you are familiar with Miyazaki's work, the film is packed with loads of symbolism, and an array of "wierd" stuff as usual. If you have not seen Princess Mononoke, make it the next movie you buy or rent; I promise you won't be disappointed. Also, watch the movie in Japanese, the English translation just doesn't quite do the film justice.
