Rose Faerie's Review Violence: I agree with Atria35, that the violence is no worse than Lord of the Rings. There's some loss of limbs, and characters are shot and bleed. Animals are hurt, including the wolves. There is also a scene with a bloody boar, which I thought was kind of gross. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Demon Slayer have much more gore than this movie does. Sex and Nudity: Nothing more than a passing reference to brothels. Theological Themes: There are nature spirits that are involved. They are both animals and tree spirits. Ashitaka has a cursed arm. Problematic Themes: There might have been some light swearing. Overall: This movie is another Ghibli favorite. It is very well written, as you can see both sides of the argument. Both the forest creatures and the people of Iron Town have solid points. They have equally good reasons behind their actions. Neither Lady Eboshi or San and her wolves are depicted as pure evil. Ashitaka acts as a mediator, as he tries to get the two to reason with each other. All the characters are well written and engaging, and the plot was very nice, as it veered from the standard "good versus evil". I definitely recommend this one, though for teenagers and up. |
