So get a nap in for the kids if you want to stay late, it will be awesome and you dont want to miss Princess Mononoke. A tad more violent than The Wind Rises - so we are showing it second. Hayao Miyazakis final film about a Japanese flight pioneer is visually exquisite and emotionally charged. There is a wonderful gentleness and intelligent idealism to this animation by 73-year-old Hayao Miyazaki, understood to be his final work. It is a tribute to the aeronautical engineer Jiro Horikoshi, who was a pioneer in aircraft design in the first half of the twentieth century. This Horikoshi bookish and bespectacled like a Japanese Harry Potter never loses his essential boyishness, never loses the distracted look of a dreamer and an artist. His planes are visions, poems in flight. The title, Kaze Tachinu, or The Wind Rises, is an allusion to lines of Paul Valéry repeatedly cited in the movie: The wind rises, we must try to live. Princess Mononoke features Claire Danes (THE MOD SQUAD), Minnie Driver (GOOD WILL HUNTING), and Billy Bob Thornton (ARMAGEDDON, SLING BLADE) in a 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 forests 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 with amazement as stunning artistry blends with epic storytelling to create a uniquely entertaining motion picture!
