Synopsis
A beautifully realized tale of civilization versus nature, PRINCESS
MONONOKE is a true epic by Japan's master animator Hayao Miyazaki.
While protecting his village from a rampaging boar-god, the young
warrior Ashitaka becomes afflicted with a deadly curse. To find
the cure that will save his life, he journeys deep into sacred
depths of the Great Forest Spirit's realm where he meets San (Princess
Mononoke), a girl raised by wolves. It's not long before Ashitaka
is caught in the middle of a battle between iron-ore prospecting
humans and the forest dwellers. He must summon the spirit-powers
and all his courage to stop man and nature from destroying each
other. |
