Movie Reviews
Title: Princess Mononoke
Cast: Billy Bob Thornton
Plot: Princess Mononoke is a tale of the struggle of a young boy named Ashitaka. He kills a forest god that attacks his village. The giant boar had become a demon, and before Ashitaka killed the boar god it placed a curse on him. A scar on his arm reminds him of this deadly curse that will eventually kill him. Ashitaka leaves his village to find out what happened to turn the boar god into a demon, and see if perhaps the forest spirit can cure him. On his journey he runs into a chaotic situation involving an iron town and the beasts of the forest. Ashitaka must deal with this deteriorating situation while at the same time worrying about the curse that has been placed upon him.
Analysis: The idea and story behind Princess Mononoke is quite intriguing. The animation is fabulous. The dub was excellent. I thought some of the voice acting could havebeen better, but it was't bad enough to detract from the movie.
