The depiction of rage and hate was like nothing I've ever seen: black ooze, flowing and yet somehow alive; we've only begun when it's completely consumed Nago: to see it pouring out of his eye socket, and then to hear that bass grumble. Could anything be more unsettling?
I enjoyed it almost as much as the first time I saw it. Something that struck me more so this time around - and the bonus feature included on the DVD tabled this - was the complexity of the characters; their motivations are all their own. While Lady Eboshi (the voice of Minnie Driver in the English version) isn't a villain per se, she is a blind force that Prince Ashitaka (the voice of Billy Crudup in the English version) is still trying to temper when the movie ends. Her all too human ambition will brook no questioning:
I'm going to show you how to kill a god... The trick is not to fear him.She is a leader: awesome and terrible.
