Generally I enjoy the escapism of film but I am entirely onboard with the tragedy of the relentlessly honourable Prince Ashitaka. Luckily, the human race has been graced by a few people like him, so there is hope for us yet.

Ashitaka, a prince of the disappearing Emishi people, is cursed by a demonized boar god and must journey to the west to find a cure. Along the way, he encounters San, a young human woman fighting to protect the forest, and Lady Eboshi, who is trying to destroy it. Ashitaka must find a way to bring balance to this conflict.
