Miyazaki Hayao everyone is not unfamiliar, today share the fungus to relive the animated film he directed "Princess Mononoke", this movie that I felt full of bravery and freedom when I was a child now seems to feel different, and when I grew up, my thinking is broader, and I found that Miyazaki's films always have a very deep thinking.
Princess Mononoke is an animated film released in 1997 that continues Miyazaki's long-standing thoughts about how people and nature get along. The film shows the destruction of nature by human beings, and then exposes the irresolvable contradictions between man and nature, and then constantly thinks about whether there is a feasible way for humans and nature to coexist.
The human beings represented by Phantom Ji and the nature represented by Princess Mononoke have always been contradictory, and the crowd led by Phantom Ji hopes to dig mines to feed more people and save civilians from the troubles of war. Princess Mononoke and the Wolf God and Wild Boar God in the Forest are both defending the Unicorn Beast and the Forest, and have been fighting against humans.
But unlike Tropicana, where humans are threatened by nature, princess mononoke has begun to possess firearms, guns and explosives that allow them to attack the guardians of the forest until they eventually kill the unicorn beast and get revenge on the corpses.
Here is the implied natural revenge, the corpse of the Unicorn Beast did not harm life through fighting, but corroded everything, so that everywhere it went became wasteland, which is similar to the behavior of infinite human demand, until finally the young Asdaka and the Princess Mononoke returned the head of the Kirin Beast to the corpse, and everything re-bloomed with the breath of life.
In fact, there are very few elements of "struggle" in this movie, nature is no longer able to cope with the human offensive, this film makes people think about how human beings should treat nature, whether it is unlimited exploitation or coexistence with nature.
At the end of the film, Princess Mononoke returns to the revived forest, while the young Asdaka returns to the city created by Lord Fantasia, and although the two love each other, they maintain a certain distance like humans and nature.
Before sharing the fungus to watch "Nausicaä of the Wind" when miyazaki's thoughts were misunderstood, after watching this movie, I found that the characters in Miyazaki's films rarely have clear good and evil labels, and the characters in it have their own positioning and accusations, and we can't judge this person as a bad person from the perspective of humans and nature.
Miyazaki is more about expressing a respect for life and nature, although the protagonist of "Princess Mononoke", the teenager Asdaka, looks like some virgins, humans and people on both sides of the forest are saved, even the people who cause the unicorn beast to run away are also saved, but this is the connotation expressed by Miyazaki, life is worthy of respect.
When you have time, you can also revisit the films directed by Hayao Miyazaki, and when you grow up, you can always find new connotations when you watch them.
