I think the word 'long' is suitable for this movie but also 'beautiful'. This movie is so amazing, it's got the 'Spirited Away' feel with all the spirits and fantasy style but is also nothing like it.
When Ashitaka, a young man from a small village, is attacked by a demon possessed creature he becomes infected himself. With only a matter of time, he sets out to find himself a cure. But on his journey he comes across a mining village, run by a very strong lady, Lady Eboshi. This colony is at war with the forest and while staying there Ashitaka meets San who has come to infiltrate the village and kill Eboshi in anger of her chopping down the forest to create the town.
The town is full of social outcasts and houses former brothel workers and lepers who she uses to create firearms to defend against the gods. Ashitaka tries to go after San but in the battle she becomes conscience. As a result of this, Ashitaka carries her out and away from the town, and as he leaves he gets shot.
San is a hostile princess of wolves so is not so welcoming or polite towards Ashitaka but he bares with her non the less. He thinks she may know a way to save him.....but will she tell him?
Definitely one to watch. It is long but if you enjoy it enough, you shouldn't really notice.
