Princess Mononoke FULL LENGTH Movie Reaction

FULL LENGTH REACTION

Comments

I was debating whether to watch in Japanese again or try the English version. I put it on and in the first moment I heard Keith David and I was like, "Okie dokie I'm down."

I was trying to figure out at the beginning if you were watching the Japanese or English version, since your version showed a Japanese title card at the very beginning where mine showed English in the English version on HBO max. I've seen the Japanese version too but have always preferred the English dub for this movie even though I'm usually a subs over dubs purist. This was the movie that put Keith David on my radar in the first place.

I had the same question watching from HBO Max. My title card showed English but her version showed Japanese. Without speaking for her, I believe she has stated that she prefers reacting to dubs. I recall she said she feels it's better reacting if she's not reading everything while trying to watch. I was bummed initially but I find the English dubs have gotten way better since I was watching way back when. Kinda just a different experience. (Though I must admit Japanese voice actors are the highest tier at their craft.)

Amazing flim cant wait to watch the reaction! Also just after watching ur intro, Totoro and Grave of the Firefly might be the ones u will relate to the most/apprciate the most, idk...^^ Graves especially is quite rough to watch, but incredible anyway. So the best would be Totoro to get you into it, and graves to experience. Now after the reaction, I really loved it, I dont know the right way to put it, but I appreciate the way u felt about the forest dying and also nature coming back, it hits me very hard every time and it just always feels good, in a weird way, to see other people feel strongly about this aswell. :) Anyway, have a great day, thanks for the reaction. :)

"Mononoke" is a Japanese term for a vengeful spirit; the folk of Iron Town called San that because they didn't know her name.

Sorry for not stating which version I watched I kind of forgot that it comes in two different versions when I posted it

RabidMango

After watching I realized I haven't actually seen this movie. It was absolutely fantastic. I had a great time watching.

Matthew Vandiver

My favorite Hayao Miyazaki movie. Excited to see the reaction.

Neil Gaiman is a complete monster but unfortunately he's part of the reason this dub is so good, because it wasn't just translated but then got worked over by a talented English-language writer, unlike other animes that are "just" translated then make great voice actors deliver stilted translated dialogue. That said I don't think any of the credit for how good the storytelling and themes and message are go to him, this is still 100% Hayao Miyazaki's story, one that was deeply personal to him. Gaiman just made that come across in English. And so much more of the credit for the dub having the nuanced performances it does goes to Billy Crudup, Claire Daines, Minnie Driver, and the rest of the voice cast.

I just love the nuance in this, you kept trying to decide whether Lady Eboshi was good or bad, and I'd say she's both and neither. She's completely genuine in how much she cares for her people and the downtrodden among humanity, and at the same time is willing to sacrifice everything she hasn't placed under her protection- including nature- for that goal. She's just a human with the full range of good and bad qualities that entails. The only character I've never fully understood is Jigo; the wise and compassionate Jigo we meet in the beginning seems like a completely different person than the hunter only interested in wealth we meet later and I've never been sure why the film makes us like him so much at first. The title Princess Mononoke is an artifact of how the title was translated, the original Japanese title Mononoke-hime just means Princess of the Spirits, but they didn't translate the word "Mononoke". And she's a princess because she's a daughter of the wolf god/queen. So that's why her name is San, not Mononoke. Obviously Ashitaka is the main protagonist, but I think the movie is named after her because she represents the conflict between the humans and nature in herself. You talked about this and Spirited Away being hand-drawn, and both mostly are, but this was Miyazaki's first movie to make use of some CGI, after he'd been skeptical of the technology for a long time. If you want some peak Lance Reddick acting you should check out The Wire, the best TV show ever made IMO.

I feel like it’s called Princess Mononoke for the same reason the Link games are called the Legend of Zelda

Paulo

Yeah maybe watch Howls Moving Castle next for a palate cleanser. This movie it’s depressing but I like to think there is hope Ashitaka it’s going to be at the Iron works and I think he will guide them to respect and take care of the forest, maybe I’m just being naive but I will like to think he will do his best to preserve the forest.

Henkan

Seconding Howl's Moving Castle. It's my favorite Miyazaki movie, and it's got a wonderful dub voice cast as well.

Paulo

Yes, I love this movie too

Jacob King

Yeah, it’s not even her name and she’s barely a princess. My understanding is mononoke is the collective name for gods and spirits.

Jacob King

Miyazaki is definitely writing and drawing these stories as well as directing. My favourite part of the reaction was at the beginning when you were hesitating about calling it an environmental film.

Patrick Waldeck

Eboshi is the maybe the most human "villain" I've ever seen in a movie. She is blinded by greed and in the wrong when it comes to the Forest, but she truly loves her people and has used her wealth and power to provide good live for the dispossessed. Really fascinating charachter. Mononoke is one of the first really fantastic English dubbed anime movies. Miyazaki had some REALLY bad experiences with past releases in America, with terrible dubs and having his films cut and altered for American audiences. Naussica of the Valley of the Wind, imo one of the best and most beautiful of Miyazaki's movies, is the most infamous example of this. Before the American release of this film Miyazaki sent Harvey Weinstein an authentic Katana with a note that said, "No Cuts!" on it.

dys

Even the 2005 English dub of Nausicaä isn't well done as this IMO, even though it preserves the original cut and has incredible actors like Patrick Stewart and Edward James Olmos (Admiral Adama himself!) there's still a stiffness in the translation and performances.

Alkaris

It's funny you mention being hesitant on calling this an environmental film, because there is another Studio Ghibli movie that focuses on that as it's theme, that movie is Pom Poko. Behind every Studio Ghibli movie there's a specific theme to them. Spirited Away was about not being afraid of change. The shoes with the tall looking stilts are called Geta, sometimes they have one raised tooth or two, having them tall keeps the feet dry from the rain.

The Emishi people are considered the original inhabitants of Japan. The curse forced Ashitaka out of the village. By leaving he had to forsake his heritage and his people to keep them safe. The Japanese people are very isolationists.

Whiffed

If you liked this movie I'd recommend sword of the stranger. It's an older anime movie but it's a classic

Neil Gossell

Don't forget Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

Neil Gossell

This will probably always be my favorite Ghibli movie.
