Miyazaki films ALWAYS have great music and soundtracks. Also worth noting that in the beginning all those 'snakes' were done digitally, which was, for me, impressive. The designs of those characters alone redeemed the art for me. Where the art shines in this is in the spirits (gods), the creatures, and San. I found that Ashitaka was.boring, his design was so lacklustre that I have now just googled him to figure out exactly what he looked like. I find it lazy and incredibly detracting. I hate how all the women look exactly the same, and the men have the same annoying mustaches and beard combos that obscure almost their entire face. I absolutely cannot stand their use of recycling their characters. The beauty of the story really comes after you watch it the second or third time, as the whole movie experience is very overwhelming.Īrt: I give it a 7. I will admit that I didn't notice it the first time around, I was told this as I watched it the second or third time, by my friend who is a Miyazaki acolyte. I wasn't a huge fan of the story itself, it was a country boy goes to the city vibe.but I was a huge fan of all the political jabbings that Miyazaki was throwing.

I didn't really care all too much for the story, but I found his use of spirits to be incredible. Miyazaki does an absolutely amazing job of showing that industralization, if handled the wrong way, is an incredible evil, but that it is in the hands of humans.of real people. But many purposefully try to make themselves better and stronger. In Mononoke we see the evils of industralization and how humans are killing the earth. He stated once that he would prefer it if we went back to living in the fields, he wants to get rid of all technology. Story: Miyazaki does not like civilization. Some will say that Spirited Away is better, but Mononoke is so much more powerful than that. He finally got everything together and made a perfect anime film.

When I say that Princess Mononoke is his masterpiece, I mean it. However I find that when he has all of his stuff together, Miyazaki can destroy practically any other director out there, the man is incredibly talented, but his problem is consistency.

I do not view him as the 'grandmaster of everything anime.' When I say 'yeah.Miyazaki is ok' I say it not out of ignorance (I've almost every one of his films) but because I personally find him to be incredibly overrated. Let me start by saying that I am not a Miyazaki-disciple.
