109 - "Princess Mononoke"

"Princess Mononoke" is Hayao Miyazaki's masterpiece. It's an adventure film that's filled with vibrant colors and deep morals and they're all tied to how we humans treat our environment and it doesn't look good. It's tough to make a feel look beautiful even in it's darkest pastures and still have an effective story about our roles in this Earth. I dig the film for it's cinematography, the use of CGI and hand-drawn animation. It's kind of hard to think that it is hand-drawn. There are some scenes that make you wonder how they did the scene period without much a fuss but I'm sure there were. The characters are great and can easily like, even the antagonist characters. You can actually get behind these character's motivations, no matter how bright or dark. There is a sense to it, either you go with the light or the dark. We can understand why we would hate our own spieces because it seems we do more destroying than giving and growing. Yes, we grow as a society, but at what cost? That's the whole thing about the film. It's fun to look at, you see more than just drama but there is slight romance that Studio Ghibli don't choose to overdue but overall we do see compassion out of this film. Miyazaki Loves humans enough to draw about and point out our crap. Genius.

Four out of four tokes.
