Among the animation series that I've been watching, Princess
Mononoke is one of the animation movies that sticks to my mind. There is a dialogue from the movie that I would
like to share with you:
Lady Eboshi: What exactly are you here for?
Prince Ashitaka: To see with eyes unclouded by hate
*****
Princess Mononoke is a Japanese animated movie directed by
the famous Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli. The story is set during feudal
Japan time with fantasy elements. The main character, Ashitaka is the protagonist
who struggles between supernatural guardians of a forest and humans from nearby
ironing town that sets out for resources in the village (and ultimately killing
the creatures within it).
Ashitaka is the leader of his people. He is brave, sympathetic
and fearless with a strong sense of morale. He has the nobleness of Emishi
royal blood and while defending his village from a wild boar, he killed the
Tatari God but in returned received a curse of death.
Even though he is cursed for a very absurd reason (for
defending his village and his people) and ended up being exiled for it, he
remains positive and strong throughout his journey is self-discovery.
As a hero of a beautiful children's story, Ashitaka has a
very kind soul. He's caring and in touch with his human side and also to
nature. He thinks rationally and acts on it. He's smart and good looking to boot
*swoon*.
Ashitaka travels around with his faithful (and clever) red
elk steed named Yakul. Yakul is unquestionably faithful, staying with Ashitaka
when he's injured and even helps his master to convince other animals of Ashitaka's
earnestness in helping others.
...Because horses are overrated
Princess Mononoke is an animated fable of dazzling artistry
with amazing blend of man and nature; one of the most beautiful movie ever made. It
is definitely worth more than just a watch.
