He cuts his hair, signifying his permanent departure from his village, and leaves on Yakul (Yakkuru in the Japanese version), his red elk. Ashitaka resolves to journey to the boar's origin, the lands to the west, and find a cure for the curse. After the boar is killed, the village wise woman (Hii-sama/Oracle in the Japanese version) tells the prince that the wound is cursed and will spread to the rest of his body, eventually killing him. During the fight, Ashitaka is wounded on his right forearm. The last Emishi prince, Ashitaka, engages in battle with a giant boar demon (Tatari Gami/Demon God in the Japanese version) charging towards his village, ready to attack it.
Overall, Mononoke is the third highest grossing anime movie in Japan, next to 2001's Spirited Away and 2004's Howl's Moving Castle, both also by Miyazaki. Mononoke also became the highest grossing movie in Japan until Titanic took over the spot several months later. Roger Ebert placed the movie sixth on his top ten movies of 1999. There can be no clear victory, and the hope is that relationship between humans and the nature is cyclic. There are no good and evil in this struggle and the sympathies of the film makers keep switching.
The story concentrates on involvement of the outsider Ashitaka in the struggle between the supernatural guardians of a forest and the humans of the Iron Town who consume its resources. Princess Mononoke is a period drama set specifically in the late Muromachi period of Japan but with numerous fantasy elements.
The film was first released in Japan on July 12, 1997, and in the United States on October 29, 1999, in select cities and on November 26, 1999, in Canada. " Mononoke" ( 物の怪 ?) is not a name, but a general term in the Japanese language for a spirit or monster. Princess Mononoke ( もののけ姫 Mononoke-hime ?) is a 1997 epic Japanese animated historical fantasy feature film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli.
