CRITIQUE:

MONONOKE-HIME OR PRINCESS MONONOKE IS ONE OF THE BEST ANIMATED MOVIES IN JAPAN AND THE WORLD. IT HAS A DEEP PSYCHOLOGICAL THEME, EXCELLENT LIVE GRAPHICS AND ENHANCING MUSIC. THE STORY IS DEEP, AND IMAGINATIVE JUST HOW A STRUGGLE OF MAN VS. NATURE SHOULD BE. EVEN THE ACTORS WHO ACTED THE ENGLISH VOICES WERE AMAZED BY THE OVERWHELMING STORYTELLING. THE GRAPHICS ARE ONE OF THE BEST, ESPECIALLY IN THE DVD. HAYAO MIYAZAKI REALLY OUTDID HIMSELF WITH THIS MOVIE. THE BACKGROUND HAS LOTS OF WORK AND IT LOOKS REALISTIC. THE CHARACTERS INCLUDING THE ANIMALS ALL HAVE THEIR OWN SPACE AND CHARACTERISTICS. THE MUSIC IS MAGISTERIAL AND ENHANCING. IN CONCLUSION, I THINK YOU'RE NOT A REAL ANIME FAN IF YOU DON'T OWN A COPY OF THIS MOVIE. YOU SHOULD GET YOUR HANDS ON IT AS SOON AS YOU CAN.

CRITIQUE:

THE WINGS OF THE HONNEAMISE IS ALSO ONE THE BEST ANIMATED FILMS IN JAPAN. THE ANIMATION IS STUNNINGLY REALISTIC. CAN'T YOU BELIEVE THIS MOVIE COST OVER 800 BILLION YENS AND MORE THAN 3000 ANIMATORS WERE USED FOR THIS MOVIE? ALL THE BACKGROUNDS ARE DIFFERENT IN EVERY SINGLE DETAIL. THE STORY IS A BIT PSYCHOLOGICALLY COMPLEX. THIS MOVIE IS MORE FOR INTELLIGENT, OPEN-MINDED PEOPLE THAN FOR KIDS. THE MOVIE MOVES AROUND SHIRO A AVERAGE MAN WITH DREAMS, DESIRES AND FLAWS. THE MUSIC IS KIND OF WEIRD AT TIMES BECAUSE IT'S REPETITIVE, BUT IT'S ALSO ENTERTAINING. THE ONLY “BAD-THING” OF THIS MOVIE IS THE SLOW-MOVING PACE THE STORY MOVES BY AND THE ENDING LEFT LOTS OF QUESTIONS UNANSWERED. IN CONCLUSION, YOU SHOULD BUY THIS MOVIE ONLY IF YOU'RE AND MATURE, INTELLIGENT AND OPEN-MINDED ANIME LOVER. THIS MOVIE IS NOT FOR ACTION-MOVIES-LOVERS AND IS CERTAINLY NOT FOR KIDS.

CRITIQUE:

A STRIKING PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER. THIS MOVIE IS REALLY ENTERTAINING AND INTRIGUING. THE MUSIC IS CATCHY AND AMUSING. THE PLOT IS AMAZINGLY REALISTIC, SUSPENSE FILLED AND FRIGHTENING. THE ANIMATION IS BEAUTIFUL AND EXTREMELY EXPLICIT. I REALLY LOVED THIS MOVIE BECAUSE IS DIFFERENT AND HAS AN ORIGINAL THEME. THE PLOT HAS AN EXCELLENT REPRESENTATION OF THE PERSON VS. THEMSELVES CONFLICT. IT ALSO DEMONSTRATES AND EXPLAINS A LOT OF WHAT SOME CELEBRITIES GO THROUGH. LASTLY, I THINK THIS MOVIE IS AN EXCELLENT BUY OR AT LEAST RENTING. JUST A WARNING THAT THIS MOVIE IS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC WHEN IT COMES TO BLOODSHED, AND NUDITY. IF YOU PLAN ON SEEING THIS MOVIE YOU SHOULD BE A REALLY MATURE PERSON.
