"I like Mononokehime because the story doesn’t try to dichotomize the characters as good or evil. The spirits of the forest want to live and the humans of iron town want to live but that desire forces humans and nature into conflict. The protagonist is in a special position because he doesn’t belong to any group. Even the main romance comes off as human because the characters go down different paths but they still hold a mutual respect for each other. It’s a beautiful 🎞. "
"I vaguely remember watching this with a girl from school when I was younger. I wanted to remember what it was actually about, but after watching the beginning, I know why I let myself forget it. I know it's a cartoon, but mirror touch doesn't care, and so this is just still too violent and disturbing for me. "
"So I have seen this film a lot of times. I just haven’t gotten to liking it on likewise. Anyway I would say this is possibly one of my favorite films by studio Ghibli. I’m all for forest preservation and overall nature. The film is such a good reminder of needing forest/nature areas for those species who thrive there. Also, the little white bobble head dudes (forgot thrir name ) are so fricken cute "
"This is definitely my favorite Studio Ghibli film! Great action sequences, great voice acting, and the animation is superb as is it is in every Hayato Miyazaki feature. The soundtrack is damn near heavenly. I also enjoyed how the film touches on how human greed (capitalism if you wanna get deep) negatively affects the environment. It definitely still holds up after nearly 30 years since its release. "
