Problems that won't be solved for at least 100 years

Watching it again after 6 years, it feels completely different. There is no doubt that this is an extremely deep film, because it provides a dilemma, and the irreconcilable contradiction between man and nature. When I was a child, I kept blaming the humans in it, and it was almost all evil: felling trees, polluting the environment, slaughtering pigs, and even cutting off the head of a unicorn beast. But think about it, isn't that how our ancestors came to be exposed to frost and thorns? Are there still few God-killing plots in our myths? Our ancestors slaughtered other species to gain territory, and then invaded other tribes. Only then can we develop from the middle reaches of the Yellow River to the current territory. Watching this movie now, if I hate humans and their new weapons, it's literally slapping myself in the face. Human beings must conflict with nature in order to survive. Huan Ji does this not for her own selfish desires, but for the survival of her clan. If you put aside the movie, I must think that this character is the soul of the human race. I don't have enough time, so I'm still in a hurry to do my homework, and throw out some angles for my follow-up thinking: 1. The character of the male protagonist and the position in the play. 2. The different attitudes of the wolf god and the pig god. 3. Human internal contradictions. 3. The meaning of the ending. What happened to the Kirin God? There are still many points that can be discussed. I believe that Mr. Miyazaki did not understand these problems, so he threw the problem to the audience. This is why we always feel that the film is contradictory, and the male protagonist is really unclear. (Too kind, very Buddha-nature, perfect personality in my heart) Finally, Asuka and Shanshan, please, immediately, engrave, marry, and marry, thank you! ! ! !

Write to entertain yourself, and if someone sees it, just smile.

    The pinnacle of Hayao Miyazaki

    Well, I think this unicorn is both an angel and a devil. The male protagonist is brave, and is as good as ever to all creatures, like the monk Tang. When you really meet the devil, even if you are reasonable and cute, it is not necessarily useful. Such a long and disgusting animation is really a bit torment~

Princess Mononoke quotes

  • Kaya: Ashitaka!

    Prince Ashitaka: Kaya, what are you doing here? You know it's forbidden!

    Kaya: [holding out her crystal dagger] Do you think I care about that? I came to give you this, so you won't forget your little sister.

    Prince Ashitaka: [taking the dagger] Your crystal dagger. Kaya, I can't take this.

    Kaya: Please keep it with you, brother, to protect you. You *must* take it with you. Please, I want you to have it, so you won't... forget.

    Prince Ashitaka: Kaya, you know I could never forget you.

  • Gonza: [as Ashitaka approaches the fight between San and Eboshi] Huh?

    [Ashitaka walks forward, the curse manifesting on his arm]

    Gonza: [draws sword] Traitor... *You're a spy for the wolves, aren't you?*

    [Ashitaka continue to approach, grabbing Gonza's sword by the blade]

    Gonza: [as Ashitaka bends the sword away] Stay back...! Uh... Halt - !

    Prince Ashitaka: Step aside.

    [Ashitaka walks past him, leaving traces of the curse on Gonza's sword; Gonza suddenly holds it at a distance, whimpering]
