Princess Mononoke

This beautiful and heartbreaking movie is legendary director Hayao Miyazaki’s most successful exploration of his favorite theme - the conflicting interests of mankind and nature. The residents of Lady Eboshi’s Irontown fight on two fronts - defending their industrial fort against the gods of the forest intent on preventing human destruction of their territory, and the samurai Asano who covets Irontown’s technology. In the midst of this, Prince Ashitaka seeks San, the spirit princess of the title, as he attempts to restore peace to the warring factions and harmony to the sacred forest.
