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?
