Lovely review.  Just lovely.

I've loved all the activity this year with people talking passionately about their favorite film.  I'm currently without a #1.  There are films I love, but nothing I can defend with such detailed fervor.

Wow! Great write-up, 'Noke.

That is what you latest marathon is for!

I have Princess Mononoke at home right now eyeing me at the video store - I'll come back and read after I watch it. :)

I did read the first paragraph about personal Top 10's. Wonderful paragraph.

Great write-up my Irish friend, honestly, top notch stuff, you hit on all the reasons I love Mononoke and in a far better fashion than I could ever muster.  :)

One more reason why this is my favorite thread. Nice work 'Noke

I would like to write something up for this, but I'm not sure what my favorite film is...

I just finished watching Princess Mononoke this morning; I loved your write-up of it, 'Noke. I love the way you discuss the film as it relates to you personally, the way it hits you personally - really very moving.

I liked the film a lot - much more than Spirited Away - and that kind of surprised me. :)

I was describing some of the story and how much I was enjoying the film to Uri last night at dinner (he didn't really like Spirited Away, so I was trying to convince him I thought he should give Miyazki another chance, like I was :) ) - anyway, my 8-year-old, hearing the story but not realizing I was describing a movie, was really intrigued and wanted me to get the book for her - she loves the fantastical. She was so disappointed when I told her it was a movie that would be too scary for her for now. I'll have to start her on some other "gentler" Miyazaki. :)

'Noke, I watched it with the subtitles, but you seem to think quite highly of the dubbed version. Which version do you like best?
