The latest (and possibly the last) film directed by Miyazaki, "Mononoke
Hime" is a story about a mystic fight between the Animal Gods of the forest
and humans, which takes place in the Muromachi Period (1333-1568) of Japan. On the side of the Animal Gods is San (Mononoke Hime), a human girl who was raised by a wolf god. On the side of the humans is Lady Eboshi, who tries to build a kingdom for oppressed people, by cutting down the forest for her iron making operation. In the middle of this fierce fighting for survival, Ashitaka, an Emishi boy, struggles to find a way for both sides to coexist. But the fighting just becomes more and more bloody and all hope seem to be lost...
