Mononoke Hime


Necro

269 views

Why does nobody sell this movie? It won eleven of sixteen awards it was nominated for, and it's apparently an excellent movie. Why am I unable to track down a copy and decide for myself whether it's not an older Twilight for nerds or a quality movie, expecting the latter from Mr. Miyazaki?

It is quite awesome. I own a copy.

 

If it's not as heavily patrolled in Australia as America, would you be willing to upload it for me?

HAH

 

NO

 

25GB a month, bub.

 

Ouch. Alright then, I understand with a limit like that. Back to the search of pawnshops I guess.

Trust me. I've seen it. It's a quality movie. I mean dude, Miyazaki, duh.

 

It's a bit odd that you can't find it. I'm fairly certain Disney did release it. Dubbed it over fairly solid, though the DVD also has the Japanese version. Been looking for Princess Mononoke? Like, on Amazon?

Amazon isn't an option, as I need my mother for that, and after she rented another Miyazaki when I was nine(I think it's US title was "Spirited Away"), she's xenophobic when it comes to Anime.

Why xenophobic?

 

Because she's weird and/or stupid, depending on your perspective. She seems to think most things are their stereotypes and that two completely unrelated things are related. Also she believes videogames are to blame for pretty much every post-1985 disaster caused by humans. I just assumed her stereotyping assumptions fit xenophobic well enough to use it.

Well, I feel sorry for you and your mother. Miyazaki is anime that even a non-anime fan should watch.

(You were nine when you saw Spirited Away? A little young? Anyway, read Howl's Moving Castle, then tell her it's been made into a movie, and then grab the Miyazaki film, and then show her how good it is!!! (Or just grab the movie and then show her it.))

 

Anyway, I'm assuming you're talking about Princess Mononoke, and I'm wondering where the Hime comes from. If it means princess, then that explains a lot of things in other anime I've heard of...interesting nonetheless.

Great movie, definitely a must see.

Xenophobic = hate race.

no, hate aliens

 

 

Oh yeah! You're looking for the wrong name! It's Princess Mononoke! I mean that's what it would say on the cover in the English version

 

they showed it on Cartoon Network once.... and still do now and again

Xenophobic means you hate/fear people who are not the same race/nationality as you. It comes from the Greek words xenos meaning stranger, and phobos meaning fear. Stranger-fear, see?

 

Just thought I'd clear that up
