Bethany Moreton: IMG Culture War on Aisle 5? Wal-Mart, Evangelicals, and "Extreme Capitalism"

0 comments By Bethany Moreton

"In the 'culture wars' narrative of the Republican ascendancy, this slippage represents the greatest con in recent history: while you rush to defend marriage or protect the unborn, please pay no attention to the financier behind the curtain." Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Claire Danes (THE MOD SQUAD), Minnie Driver (GOOD WILL HUNTING), and Billy Bob Thornton (ARMAGEDDON, SLING BLADE) head a cast of hot Hollywood stars who lend their talents to this exquisitely animated, overwhelmingly acclaimed adventure epic! Inflicted with a deadly curse, a young warrior named Ashitaka (Billy Crudup — WITHOUT LIMITS) sets out for the forests of the west in search of the cure that will save his life. Once there, he becomes inextricably entangled in a bitter battle that matches Lady Eboshi (Driver) and a proud clan of humans against the forest's animal gods, who are led by the brave Princess Mononoke (Danes), a young woman raised by wolves! Also starring Gillian Anderson (THE X-FILES) and Jada Pinkett Smith (SCREAM 2), this monumental struggle between man and nature will have you transfixed as stunning artistry blends with epic storytelling to create a uniquely entertaining motion picture!

Synopsis:

This gorgeously animated film is the brainchild of Hayao Miyazaki, one of Japan's most acclaimed directors — and is Japan's most successful film ever, breaking the attendance records previously set by E. T. This lavishly illustrated volume, tells the story behind the making of the film, and reveals the secrets behind anime, the popular Japanese animation technique.

I loved the message in this film! We need more of these thought provoking films. The animated genre seems a good one because it does not seem to step on toes as a real life one would. The cast doing the voices was very well chosen. I highly recommend this film!

This is just one of many great films by Hayao Miyazaki. Princess Mononoke was my introduction into this creative artist's work. Miyazaki does something Hollywood animators have yet to do these days - make an intelligent, imaginative animated film. The script by Neil Gaiman fits well into both men's oeuvres, the struggle between the modern world and the mythological one of ancient gods. I highly recommend this film - and then go on to watch Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle.
