PRINCESS MONONOKE & LAPUTA, CASTLE IN THE SKY (Studio Ghibli Animation movies)

    

   Princess Mononoke or Mononoke Hime is a 1997 Japanese animated epic historical fantasy film from Studio Ghibli by Hayao Miyazaki. It was set in 14th century era where humans, animals and gods live in harmony but all soon start to crumble by the plague, and greed mostly caused by none other than human. It was magical, but at the same time tragic and somehow depicted  and related to the reality of everyday life throughout time. I love how all the characters are described in it and also how beautiful backgrounds shown in the story. Also Mononoke herself as the main character in the movie as if she represented independent feminism way before the era, also the moral values just can't be ignored. I would rated 9 out of 10 for this movie. I have written the article separately before but I would like to highlight it with another movie from the same Studio/ Producer. 

   As for the 2nd film is Laputa, castle in the sky. It is a 1986 Japanese animated fantasy adventure film from Studio Ghibli again by Hayao Miyazaki too. Set in the fictional 19th century, following the adventure of a boy and a girl who try to protect a powerful crystal which hold the secret to a legendary powerful floating castle. It has been cited as the most influential original classic movie in the steampunk and diesel punk genres for numerous films, media and games as years went by. It was as truly mindblowing film to watch. Another 9 out of 10 movie for me.

 

   Actually these two film weren't the only films I've watched from Studio Ghibli. I will put more review of other Studio Ghibli's movie later on when I have more time. The picture in this article is my fan art drawing of them with Princess Mononoke on the left and Laputa, castle in the sky on the right.
