Princess Mononoke - Wikipedia
As it transforms into the nightwalker, Eboshi decapitates it. It bleeds ooze which spreads over the land, killing anything it touches as the nightwalker searches for its head, which Jigo steals. The forest and kodama begin to die; Moro's head comes alive and bites off Eboshi's right arm, but she survives. After the samurai flee and Irontown is evacuated, Ashitaka and San pursue Jigo and retrieve the head, returning it to the Forest Spirit.
The Spirit dies as the sun rises, but its form washes over the land and heals it, and Ashitaka's curse is lifted. Ashitaka stays to help rebuild Irontown, but promises San he will visit her in the forest. Eboshi reunites with the townspeople and vows to build a better town.
The forest begins to regrow, and a kodama emerges from the undergrowth. The cast also includes: In the late s, Miyazaki drew sketches of a film about a princess living in the woods with a beast. This writer's block prompted him to accept a request for the creation of the On Your Mark promotional music video for the Chage and Aska song of the same title. According to Toshio Suzuki, the diversion allowed Miyazaki to return for a fresh start on the creation of Princess Mononoke. In April , supervising animator Masashi Ando devised the character designs from Miyazaki's storyboard.
In May , Miyazaki drew the initial storyboards. Inspired by John Ford , an Irish-American director best known for his Westerns , Miyazaki created Irontown as a "tight-knit frontier town" and populated it with "characters from outcast groups and oppressed minorities who rarely, if ever, appear in Japanese films. Most of the film is colored with traditional paint, based on the color schemes designed by Miyazaki and Michiyo Yasuda. However, producers agreed on the installation of computers to successfully complete the film prior to the Japanese premiere date.
Two titles were originally considered for the film. One, ultimately chosen, has been translated into English as Princess Mononoke. Suzuki also mentioned that Miyazaki had created a new kanji to write his preferred title. A central theme of Princess Mononoke is the environment. Smith and Elizabeth Parsons said that the film "makes heroes of outsiders in all identity politics categories and blurs the stereotypes that usually define such characters".
In the case of the deer god's destruction of the forest and Tataraba, Smith and Parsons said that the "supernatural forces of destruction are unleashed by humans greedily consuming natural resources". Two other themes found in the plot of Princess Mononoke are sexuality and disability. An additional theme is the morally ambiguous conflict between humankind's growth and development and Nature's need for preservation.
Noted by Roger Ebert in his review, "It is not a simplistic tale of good and evil, but the story of how humans, forest animals and nature gods all fight for their share of the new emerging order. It also had something profound to say: One of the things that really impressed me is that Miyazaki shows life in all its multi-faceted complexity, without the traditional perfect heroes and wicked villains.
Even Lady Eboshi, who Ashitaka respects, is not so much evil as short-sighted. Miyazaki gives a complete argument for both sides of the battle between technological achievement and our spiritual roots in the forest. He shows that good and evil, violence and peace exist in us all. It's all about how you harmonize it all. Based on the multiple point of views the film adopts, San and Lady Eboshi can simultaneously be viewed as heroic or villainous.
San defends the forest and viewers empathize with her. But she also attacks innocent people, complicating how we evaluate her. Opposed to San, Lady Eboshi tries to destroy the forest and could be considered a villain. But everything she does is out of a desire to protect her village and see it prosper.
She saves prostitutes and lepers, providing both with jobs. She is not an unkind woman. She destroys the forest so that she can provide for her people, by mining the iron beneath the mountain. The resolution of the conflict is left ambiguous, implying that Lady Eboshi and San will be able to come to some sort of compromise.

The ambiguity suggests there are no true villains or heroes. It may be that Lady Eboshi and San will work towards compromise and find some peace. Dan Jolin of Empire said that a potential theme could be that of lost innocence. Miyazaki attributes this to his experience of making his previous film, Porco Rosso , and the wars in the former Yugoslavia , which he cites as an example of mankind never learning, making it difficult for him to go back to making a film such as Kiki's Delivery Service , where he has been quoted as saying "It felt like children were being born to this world without being blessed.

How could we pretend to them that we're happy? A closer look, however, reveals that Lady Eboshi plays a dual role. In mining the forest Lady Eboshi destroys it. And yet she does not fully understand the harm her destruction of nature does to the spirits who live there.
