Ashidaka
(アシタカ transliteration, also translated as "stray birds") in the tribe
shrimpini
It is located in the northeast of Japan. One day an evil god from the West, transformed from a cursed boar god, invaded Ashidaka's village. Seeing the evil god advancing, Ashidaka came forward, although he later killed the wild boar God, but he was also cursed by the evil God, and his life was difficult to save. In order to solve the mystery of the curse and save himself, Ashidaka follows the instructions of the village witch to the West to find out and seek life.
On the way he heard about the patron saint of the forest
God of Mountains and Beasts
Able to break the spell, he set out for the forest. Along the way, he saved two men who had fallen into the valley transporting iron ore, and first met
sandy
(also translated as SAN) meet, these two people are
Albercy
(also translated as Black hat Lord, Magic me Lord) of the iron mill people, Ebsey's iron mill is near the forest, in order to mine ore, Ebsey's people destroy the forest, attack the forest to protect their world animals, so Ebsey and the forest animals are hostile, especially the white Wolf god living in the forest (Magic me in the forest to transport iron ore, The White Wolf God came to stop him, and was attacked by the Albercy musket and fell off the cliff. Mono).
Ashidaka
He sends the two back to the ironworks, where he unlocks the mystery of the boar god's curse: Ebersie attacks the forest with muskets, and the boar god Nago, who guards the forest, is turned into evil by hatred after being hit by her muskets. Ashidaka also discovered that Eberthy had invented a powerful musket in order to kill the mountain beast god and occupy the forest. That night, Sam attacks the ironworks. She is actually the abandoned daughter of a man who was raised by the White Wolf God. When Sam was outnumbered, Ashidaka tried to save her, and he was shot in the head. His life was in danger. The rescued Shan was initially hostile to Ashidaka, but eventually moved by Ashidaka's sincerity and bravery, Ashidaka was so badly wounded that she decided to take him to the forest to be saved by the mountain beast God.
The mountain beast god saves Ashidaka, at this time, the wild boar who is disturbed by humans are determined to fight to the death with humans to save their home forest, and the forest loving Shan wants to protect the guardians of the forest (wild boar), left Ashidaka, and entered the battle between the wild boar and the army of Eberxi and the samurai. They were prepared for this, and their ultimate goal was not to destroy the wild boar, but to use them as bait to find and destroy the beast god. On the other hand, after Ebersie led her men to destroy the beast god, her iron factory was attacked by the court warriors, and the city was defended by only women, and in the iron factory was attacked and in danger, Ashidaka came. It turned out that after he left Shan, he was also attacked by the skirmishers of the court. He learns outside the Ironworks that Albersie has attacked the forest, and sets out for the forest again in order to save the mountain beast God and to inform Albersie to come back and save her workshop.
Albercy
In the battle with the wild boar group, the wild boar group was almost destroyed, and only the wild boar God was left
Party b
Sam and the White Wolf God. They're making their way to the island of the mountain beast God. In order to find the mountain beast god, Ebersie and the samurai army put on boar skin and boar blood to disguise their identity, and followed the retreating boar god and Shan, and when they approached the Mountain beast God's island, the army surrounded the boar god and Shan and attacked them. The angry boar God is about to become evil, and the Shan who saved it in its body will also be implicated, and the newly arrived Ashidaka wants to save Shan, but he is powerless. Seeing that the situation was irreversible, the mountain beast God crossed over the life of the boar God to prevent the boar God from becoming an evil god, and at the same time Ashidaka rescued Shan with the help of the White Wolf God. Ebersie took the opportunity to shoot down the mountain beast god, the white Wolf God saw it, and fought hard to bite off an arm of Ebersie, and then died. The angry mountain beast god absorbs life to find his head. In order to save the forest, Ashidaka and Shan finally help the mountain beast god to get its head back. The mountain beast god who had lost his head fell to the ground and died when the sun came out, and his death gave new life to the earth in an instant.
After saving the forest, Shan is still unable to let go of the crime of human destruction of the forest, she chooses to return to the forest, Ashidaka respects Shan's choice (here the dialogue between the two reflects the contradiction between human and nature, still can not be solved), chooses to live in Dadala (iron factory), will ride a antelope horse to visit Shan, two people in a lush green mountains smile and say hello.

"Using Japan as a stage to make a fantasy work" was Miyazaki's idea when he was about 20 years old. In 1980, Miyazaki presented his idea to animation studios and other television stations for reference, but received no positive response, but some of the ideas he came up with during the project were used in later animated films.

"In. Then, in 1983, Hayao Miyazaki published Princess Mononoke (もののけ ji), a picture book based on the Japanese period drama based on the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast.
It was not until August 1994 that Miyazaki officially began the animation of Princess Mononoke. But at that time, Miyazaki Hayao's concept of the work in addition to the original "architecture in Japan as the stage, full of period drama style" conditions, but also added "why to live" and "the meaning of survival" and other elements, and the original picture fairy tale more than 10 years ago has been too different and abandoned
[5]
.
Princess Mononoke is based on
Mesopotamian mythology
"
Gilgamesh
Nakao Sasuke and Sasaki Takaaki's "Theory of Teriaba Forest Culture", Netno Yoshihiko's view of the medieval people, the atlas "Once a Master Saint Painting", Yamauchi Nobukio's "Kazuang Local Record" documenting the whole process of stomping on bellow iron, "Uji's Relics · The Five Colors of Deer", and countless other pictures displayed in the "Multi-mill Full Source of students" of the National Institute of Mayi.
During the preparation of Princess Monongue, the philosopher and writer Umehara had sent his own drama "Gilgamesh" published by Shincho to Miyazaki Supervisor, asking him to consider animating it, but Miyazaki Supervisor refused Umehara's script on the grounds that it "did not touch the things deep in the heart" and wrote it himself. Ms. Umehara later wrote for the "Princess Mononoke" brochure: "What is it when a rejected theme is repurposed?" Tough talk, the situation is a little tense. A year later, the Kino Review magazine published the contents of a special meeting that included the two men, and it seems that they have reconciled. Supervisor Miyazaki himself said of this matter: "Later on, thinking back, when making this work, I focused on a lot of impressions from Gilgamesh." It's just that there's a lot of material coming from a lot of different places."

"Princess Mononoke" is set in the Muromachi era of medieval Japan and depicts the struggle between man, god and demons. The film has brought a shock to many audiences. The script of "Princess Monononie" has been brewing for 16 years, and the total number of films is 135,000, which can be said to be unprecedented. The fluorescent giant and the Demon Worship also use CG digital synthesis technology (it is not like a cartoon that only uses two-dimensional animation and three-dimensional background reluctantly pieced together). There are also brutal, bloody severed heads and arms that are rare in Miyazaki's films. Although there is a series of visual shocks, but the main impact is spiritual.
[17
]
In Miyazaki Hayao's project book "The War between the Brutal Mountain Gods and Humans" described: this work does not appear in the past costume drama warriors, lords, farmers, even if there is a very insignificant role. The main protagonists are people unseen on the historical stage and brutal mountain gods. Technicians, workers, smelters, miners, charcoal-burners, groomsmen, or cattle haulers of the iron syndicates known as Tadara. They were all armed and formed an independent organization which could be called a handicraft workshop.
The brutal mountain gods, who are different from humans, appear as mountain dog gods, pig gods, and bears. The mountain beast God is an imaginary animal with a human face and an animal body and a tree horn. The youth of the protagonist is the last descendant of the ancient Shrimyi tribe that was destroyed during the Yamato regime. If you want to trace a similar prototype, he resembles a certain clay figure of the Jomon period. The main stage was the inaccessible forest of the Gods, and something like an iron city. This is just a rural vista with castles, streets, and paddy fields as the stage of historical dramas used to be. Reproduces the Japanese scenery without reservoirs, deep forests, sparsely populated times, deep mountains and valleys, rich and clear rivers, small dirt roads without sand, many birds, animals and insects and other pure natural scenery.
These Settings are not constrained by the common sense, preconceived ideas and prejudices of previous historical dramas, and aim to depict a freer group of characters. According to recent history, folklore, and archaeology, this country has a richer and more varied history than is commonly portrayed. The dearth of historical drama is mostly made through film drama. The stage of this work - the Muromachi period is a chaotic and volatile one. This is an era that began from the Southern and northern Dynasties in which the vicious party ran rampant and Art Nouveau was confused and formed today's Japan. It is different from the era of organized warfare in the standing armies of the Warring States, and it is different from the era of the Kamakura samurai, who made constant efforts. There was no ambiguous period of mobility, no distinction between samurai and ordinary people, and women had to work too, so there was greater freedom. Such times clearly show the contours of life and death. People live, people love, hate, work, die, etc. Life is not ambiguous.
Facing the chaotic era of the 21st century, this is the significance of creating this work. Not to solve the problems of the world as a whole. There is no happy ending to a war between rabid gods and men. But even in the midst of hatred and killing, there is value in living. It is possible to have perfect encounters and perfect things. Although it depicts hatred, it is to depict something more important. The curse was written to depict the joy of liberation. What should be painted is the understanding of the boy to the girl, and the process of the girl opening her heart to the boy

Princess Mononoke
Disney bought out Ghibli's overseas rights in 1998. In 1999, Princess Mononoke was released in more than 1,000 theaters in more than 100 cities in the United States, while it was also released in Europe. However, the dubbing in Europe and the United States is mostly rounded, completely missing the vicissitudes of the Japanese version, and there is no screaming that is often found in the Japanese version. Although the Wolf God is also a female voice, it lacks a series of tones such as anger
[8]
.
According to the September 14, 2005, from the United Kingdom,
The Guardian
According to an interview with Miyazaki, when Harvey Weinstein was entrusted with the U.S. distribution of Princess Monononie, Miyazaki mailed him a samurai sword with the words "Do not cut!" written on the blade.
[9]
.
Princess Mononoke was selected by the MPAA (
Motion Picture Association of America
It is rated PG-13, meaning it is not suitable for viewers under 13. Mainly because of the bloody scenes in the film, such as severed limbs, but Miyazaki is not about to make animation a patent for adults
[8]
.

When the two people could not stick to their opinions, Toshio Suzuki took the lead in the public preview report on the "もののけ Ji" film title, Miyazaki Hayao was angry when he learned afterward, but did not make more other responses. In keeping with Ghibli's tradition, all Miyazaki titles will include the word "の" to distinguish them from Takahata's "ほ"
[5]
.
The original "Princess Mononoke" is mainly composed of two parts, the 1980 story version of the picture book "Princess Mononoke" (similar to "Beauty and the Beast") and the 1983 comic book "Princess Mononoke".
The journey to Shona
(A full-color picture book by Hayao Miyazaki based on Tibetan folklore)
[6]
. Ghibli originally planned to make a theatrical animated feature film based on the 80th version of Princess Mononoke. However, because it was conceived more than 10 years ago, it is somewhat outdated and looks very naive. And because some of the ideas have already been used in My Neighbor Totoro, it's easy to feel the same.

story
Miyazaki Hayao regards "man" and "nature" as two extremes that can never compromise each other. However, he is not a complete negationist and pessimist. He holds a positive attitude toward human development and use of nature to survive, but he emphasizes the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Therefore, Ashidaka in the film, on the one hand, sympathizes with those people who, under the leadership of Magic Ji, have to cut down forests and burn mountains in order to survive and develop, and fight against the gods, and helps him to defend the tower city against the enemy; On the other hand, he and Princess Mononoke fought side by side to protect the mountains, protect the mountain beast god. As the only person who can be accepted by both human beings and mountain forests, he once ran around between God and man, but finally ended up with what he did not want to see - the tragic ending of the destruction of God and man. Ashidaka also said: "I have tried to prevent (the war between gods and men), but ultimately failed."
But whether the problem of coexistence between man and nature is solved or not, survival as a human being remains the most important problem. So at last Ashidaka said to Princess Mononoke, "We will live together!" Once again, the theme of coexistence between man and nature is reiterated. In addition, the psychological distance between tragedy and human being established by him in the art form of modern mythology not only enables people to look at the tragedy in reality more objectively, but also triggers people to think about reality further
[10]
.
ponder
Supervised by Hayao Miyazaki, this work focuses on the struggle between man and nature, and also describes the cruelty and ruthlessness of human war. The human instinct for survival and happiness is a source of conflict with other races in nature, especially as humans begin to master higher science and technology. In the works of Master Miyazaki Hayao, the relationship between man and man, nature and man is vividly expressed.
Miyazaki Hayao regards "man" and "nature" as two extremes that can never compromise each other, and believes that man must destroy nature in order to achieve his own survival. In the film, Ashidaka once negotiated between man and God in order to coordinate the peaceful coexistence of the two sides, but the final tragic outcome is that both man and God are destroyed. Ashidaka also said: "I have tried my best to stop [the war between gods and men], but in the end I failed." But regardless of whether the problem of coexistence between man and nature can be solved, the first thing for human beings is to survive. At the end of the film, the death of the unicorn god causes all things to be reborn, and people have to start a new life, and Ashidaka says to SAN: "We must live together!" It restates the theme of the whole play.

MUSICIANS
The "Princess Mononoke" soundtrack is Hisaishi's most successful symphonic creation, and it is also the most crucial one for him to become a world-class film score master. In the main melody of the score, the cello and the boys' choir scene is magnificent, and the voice and strings are perfectly integrated. In Miyazaki Hayao's works, the theme of Princess Mononoke is heavy, the content is fantasy and reality interwoven, and the main melody is majestic. In the idea album, all the relevant themes of the film are covered, and then all the music is arranged into a complete whole, while the soundtrack only takes the first part to match the film's storyboard, and strengthens the subtle momentum.
This time it's like"
Valley of Winds
"Or"
Sky city
It is vast, but it integrates the tonality of Oriental style, and also has the atmosphere of ancient legends. Hisaishi used a large number of strings in the film, playing a grand effect like symphony, let people feel desolate and vast, reverie boundless. At the same time, the film is full of strong ancient Japanese customs, the theme song "Princess Monononie" is also quite tragic, Mira Miichi's falsetto solo is very national characteristics, clear and thick voice like a woman telling the legend of ancient times.

Overall comment
"Princess Mononoke" plays the strongest voice of the era of human and nature, war and peace, survival and development. In this work, in addition to the heavy and profound theme, the twists and turns of the fantasy plot, and the grand and emotional music, the film's depiction of the deep forest of mountain beasts and gods that Princess Mononoke guards is really amazing
[11]
. In this vibrant natural treasure, inhabited by apes, deer, wild boar, mountain dogs and other spiritual animals and gods, and groups of small trees (kodama) as the embodiment of trees in the forest, to the protagonist Ashidaka lost direction
[11]
. Miyazaki Hayao's animated films can bring lasting emotions to people, especially young people. Looking at his works, there is often a mountain spring flowing through the heart - this is the inner power of literature and art
[12]
.
"Princess Mononoke" is set in the Muromachi era of medieval Japan and depicts the struggle between man, god and demons. The film had a shocking impact on many viewers. There are also brutal, bloody severed heads and arms that are rare in Miyazaki's films. Although there is a series of visual shocks, but the main impact is spiritual
[13]
. At the end of the film, the death of the unicorn god causes all things to be reborn, and people have to start a new life, and Ashidaka says to SAN: "We must live together!" It restates the theme of the whole play
