Princess Mononoke

Ashitaka is an energetic young warrior who protects his village against rampaging boar-god/demon. However, Ashitaka becomes afflicted by a fatal curse. He must travel to the west forests in order to save his own life. He finds himself in the middle of a brutal campaign against humans that was taking place in the forests. Lady Eboshi, an ambitious woman who is determined, and her faithful clan, use their guns to fight the gods and forest creatures. Princess Mononoke (a young girl raised by a Wolf-god) also joins the fray. Ashitaka recognizes the goodness in each side and attempts to stop the bloodshed. Both sides react with animosity as each view him as supporting his enemy. –Christopher Taguchi
