During the National Day period, it was okay, and "Princess Mononoke" was revisited again~
It's a story of faith and reverence,
Unlike anything else, this film is a reflection on itself. The mountain god went berserk, chaotic, and self-destructive under the invasion of humans, and then feared, subdued, and died of resentment. This angle was not available before. The gods of the past were gods, watching humans toss and turn, and then giving norms and sanctions. It's a little strange that humans have destroyed the god of nature.
However, this is really the case.
Nature is really powerless under the fiddling of humans. The powerless struggle of the natural gods is indeed tragic. The perspective is not on the human side. Or for humans, it is the second perspective. From the perspective of human beings, we can see this barbaric virtue of human beings themselves. After seeing the process, there was still a touch, and the divine personality of the natural god was shattered to the ground, and even appeared weak and humble.
However, there is no pride in people's feelings, but instead, the blind arrogance of human beings with the improvement of ability, the collapse of faith and reverence. The wild boar incarnates as a demon god and is killed by the youth, who is also infected with the curse and embarks on a journey to remove the curse.
In order to make a living for the toiling people, Xianji organized the people to cut down trees and dig mines, there were fewer and fewer forests, animals were hunted by the people, animals defended their homes, and humans competed for rich mines.
Humans joined forces to get the head of the Unicorn Beast, to get eternal life, and after getting the head, the Kirin Beast's body mutated and began to slaughter all living beings. When the youth and the wolf girl snatched back their heads and returned them to the Unicorn Beast, it was dawn and the Kirin Beast fell, filling the corpse-strewn mountains and rivers with vitality.
The wolf girl continued to live with the wolf, and the youth returned to live among humans. Meet again on a date, say goodbye to each other, cherish. If you jump out of the story and look at it from the off-camera point of view, all of the above is man's judgment of the natural god, and it is the person who thinks that the natural god has been trampled under his feet.
This emptiness is tragic.
The Wild Boar King makes people feel that life is born to die and that it is better to die than to die freely, and the destruction of nature by man has caused his descendants to become more and more stupid from generation to generation, and he knows that he will fail miserably and still fight with his people, because there is no better moment for them.
In the end, when he was seriously injured and confused, the humans used animal skins to pretend to be the same kind to deceive him, and his ecstatic sentence "Our warriors are back" has a tragic sense of hero's end.
Today, through the study of rice, human beings can increase yields, raise livestock, and grow vegetables, and can survive for generations. Some people slaughter unicorn beasts for the sake of immortality; some people kill heavenly creatures for the sake of appetite; some people make weapons and plunder everywhere in order to expand; human beings only see their own wounds and want revenge, only feel that their desires must be satisfied, only see the suffering of the same kind and sympathize, but do not think about the nature and other beings that have been plundered by us.
This lack makes the plundering of human beings expand rapidly, and the relationship that loses balance will eventually break down, which is tantamount to self-destruction and will eventually eat its own consequences.
Remembering the "Parasitic Beast" and "Tokyo Ghoul" that I watched before, Kaneki Ken, who wandered between humans and ghosts born ghouls, a human with a mutant bug on one right hand, is finally using a perspective of understanding the left and right sides, calling on both sides to understand each other, rather than guarding their own interests regardless of their own interests and killing.
Hatred spreads, as does any living being.
Don't create hatred, think with understanding and empathy, and make decisions that you think are right.
