EP 65: Princess Mononoke - Can Anime Reach Universal Acclaim?

Friends From Film School Podcast - EP 65: Princess Mononoke -
 Can Anime Reach Universal Acclaim?  


This week we conclude our journey to the East in search of
becoming true Anime fans. We watch the 1997 Hayao Miyazaki
classic, Princess Mononoke and tackle the question of "Can anime
reach universal acclaim?" Mononoke tells the story of a young
Emishi prince named Ashitaka, and his involvement in a struggle
between the gods of a forest and the humans who consume its
resources.  The film is known for its heartfelt story,
beautiful showcase of human folly, and its influence on
filmmakers and fans alike. It is one of the highest grossing
Japanese films of all time and a major cornerstone of solidifying
anime's reputation in the West. Dive in with us as we discuss
this Studio Ghibli hit and figure out if Luke and Brad will join
Ellis as "true anime fans!"
