Facts About PRINCESS MONONOKE (1997)
The original concept for the film actually began in the 1970s with a few sketches by director Hayao Miyazaki. However, since there was such a wide gap between the initial concept and the actual production, many of the early ideas were instead used for My Neighbor Totoro.
The animation team used over 550 colors throughout the entire movie, and Miyazaki himself corrected or redrew more than 80,000 of the 144,000 animation cells.
Princess Mononoke was one of two titles proposed for the film, the other being The Legend of Ashitaka. While producer Toshio Suzuki had the final say in the name of the movie, Miyazaki has always stated that he preferred the alternate. “The Legend of Ashitaka” was instead used for the main piece of the film’s score.
Iron Town is heavily influenced by the John Ford western My Darling Clementine, which featured a town that, according to Miyazaki, is full of “characters from outcast groups and repressed minorities who rarely, if ever, appear in Japanese films.”
“Mononoke” translates to “unknown thing,” and is commonly used to refer to vengeful spirits. The word dates back to the 11th century. On the same note, “Ashitaka” means “bright tomorrow,” and “San” means “three.” It’s implied that the character is named that because she is Moro’s third cub.
Miyazaki originally planned to retire after the completion of the film, but of course returned not too long after to make Spirited Away, which was released only four years later.
Princess Mononoke was the first animated film to win Best Picture at the Japanese Academy Awards (which began in 1978), a milestone that has yet to be achieved by the Academy Awards in the U.S. (which began in 1929). The same award was given to Spirited Away in 2001.
With a runtime of 134 minutes, it is the 4th longest animated film ever, ranking behind only Final Yamoto (1983), The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (2010), and The Tale of Princess Kaguya (2013) - all of which were also produced in Japan.
The character of San was apparently used as inspiration by the creators of Star Wars: The Clone Wars for the character of Ahsoka Tano, taking heavy influence from her movement and fighting style.
Hey so I still see people utterly baffled by how religious fundies (still a majority in America and moreso its senate) react on certain issues so uhhh is it actually not common knowledge what the antichrist is all about? You guys know his defining characteristic is ending war, right? That he's foretold to unite the world under his leadership by preaching global peace and solving basically every single problem in the world? So you know when you try to talk to these people about equality and togetherness they literally believe that's what makes you an agent of the devil right???
im sorry what. so. ok im assuming they think that this is all like. to gain trust and then take over or something? because.
Yes, he's called the "antichrist" because he's an imposter Jesus and the majority of the world will love him when he ends all class divides and erases all borders, creating one world government with him at the top. That's the "new world order" they're terrified of. But they think he'll oppress true Christian believers who see through his ruse, which is why they're constantly looking for signs that they're being discriminated against and panic when they lose any control over government. This is why they fear diversity, immigration, socialized anything. The less religious right are pretty clearly still running on the same logic; they might drop some of the spiritual lore but this is where they get the idea that all progressivism leads to the "real" fascism. Some believe the antichrist isn't a literal person either but just that entire set of beliefs, so everyone protesting against war and trying to feed the hungry is a *collective* antichrist.
So from the notes it turns out people are MUCH less familiar with all this than I suspected and that’s honestly kind of alarming, guys, you should really really pay attention to things that affect so much of this country. No these are absolutely not obscure or fringe beliefs, these are MAINSTREAM with megachurches, Trump voters, the GOP and a vast proportion of the wealthy. Alex Jones and multiple Fox News hosts openly believe word for word what I described here. And yeah as several people pointed out it isn’t even explicitly in the bible, but something some radicals pieced together in maybe only the last century. My uncles all believe it to the letter and they all believe it’s what the Bible is “supposed” to be communicating. A lot of people are also confused as to why they would believe the peace and unity are villainous things and what the difference even is then between the “antichrist” and actual Jesus, which brings me to another thing I realize some folks CRITICALLY overlook about American Christianity, which is that they do not believe in good or bad deeds. They believe the same deed can be right or wrong strictly according to whether or not it’s performed by a believer with God’s stamp of approval. Like, they KNOW the Satanic Church and Witch Covens do community service or donate to cancer research and they are not confused, surprised, bitter or embarrassed by that at all. It’s exactly what they expect. They believe the forces of Satan do primarily “good” things so people will think he’s just as good or better than God. If a pastor heals a sick child with a prayer then that’s good. If a “witch” heals the same sick child with “magic” then that’s a false miracle from the devil and the child was better off dying because now everyone involved is a sinner who deserves hell. They’re taught to view you as a ridiculous fool if you don’t grasp this difference. After all, they think our entire existence on this Earth is an insignificant speck in the grand scheme of things. The suffering in the world isn’t a bug to them, but a feature that God set up to test everyone’s worthiness, test their faith and teach them lessons, so they genuinely do believe that there MUST always be suffering and death and that there are many circumstances in which saving lives is genuinely more “wrong” than killing them.
And speaking as a Christian here it’s why it’s so frustrating to deal with. They consequently don’t care about our OWN scripture that also contains parables and lessons about “You can claim to be pious as much as you want, but you’re fucking people over. Look at that dude over there - not part of our faith, but actually helping people. You care more about the APPEARANCE of piety than doing the right thing.” These are the REAL problems we have within Christianity - not “wars on Christmas” or culture war nonsense or “MARXISM DESTROYING OUR ‘MURICAN VALUES AND JESUS WAS ‘MURICAN.” It’s people who believe and consequently teach that being a good person, that helping people, being charitable, that all of those things are wrong just because the magic sky man isn’t the target of their worship. You want to know the real greatest trick of Satan? Making people believe that doing good things is wrong.
This is the kind of church I grew to in and it's a weird fucking experience. OP isn't lying that they freak out over everything but, in my church at least, there was also this sense of celebration? The world kept getting worse and their reaction was "This is fantastic because it means the antichrist will come which means we'll be raptured before anything bad goes down."
There's this constant dissonance between being afraid of persecution and the loss of power on the one hand, and a earnest glee that soon god will take them away from the world, leaving all the sinners to die. Seriously, people would talk about the four horsemen and the angels who rise up ouy of the rivers in Revelation with this bright eye excitement. They were estatic over billions of people dying, like everything was a movie and that's when things would finally start getting good again.
But like OP said, it's really important to understand that there is no compromise with these people. They literally believe that the only true solution to the world's problem is for them to be the only ones in it. You can't gain their compassion because, if you're a nonbeliever, your death and eternal punishment is the world working as it should.
So, yeah. Learn more about the death cult with a strangle hold on our politics. It's sort of important
So what does a good believer do? Here’s some tips from a cult survivor:
1) Recognize faith is not a virtue, no, not even when its put toward your god of choice. Having faith isn’t like having empathy, it does not improve you on the experiences of people around you. The amount of faith someone has/professes is no reflection on their goodness.
2) Enforce your religion’s own rules about false prophets among your own congregation. I’ll let you pick which law (man’s or god’s) you apply.
3) If you see abuse, report it to the actual law and media. If that means you get ostracized, excommunicated, or otherwise marginalized, ask yourself if you want to be accepted and loved by people who allow such things to happen. Do not trust your congregation to handle it internally. Chances are they already know.
3) Advocate for the elimination of unfair privileges for religious institutions, such as the revocation of tax exempt status, the use of religion in court-mandated alcoholism sentences, and the use of religious conversion as a merit for prison release.
4) Speak out against people using governmental power to enforce religious behavior, especially when its your own religion.
5) When others of your faith claim to be oppressed, call them liars to their faces. Be mean about it if you have to. Speak out against moral panics.
6) If your congregation has any punishment for apostasy, of any kind, of any severity, find a new congregation.
7) Recognize that your virtues are yours. You and the fundie are both picking and choosing, you picked the kind parts, you choose the good parts, Take the credit. Do not engage in “no true Scotsman” behavior.
8) Do not support missionary work, charity-for-conversion, or any attempt to bring people “into the flock” when they’re at their lowest point. Speak out against these actions and other predatory behavior.
9) Re-read your holy book, only this time imagine that all the non-in-group characters are actual people with lives, dreams and hopes, and don’t make any excuses for the plain reading of the text. Think about what that means about the founders of your faith, and for the character of the deity in question. Recognize the fundies are on-board with what you just read. Consider if you should be.
10) If they’re divine when decrying others and only human and deserving of forgiveness when they get caught doing wrong, never listen to them again. If you catch them lying to you, never listen to them again.
If you’re tutting and generally being silent, then you’re enabling.
echoes in failsafe & heart part 1
When considering Mara is a simulation projected from Adora’s mind, that turns their conversation into one that Adora is having with herself. So in this moment, we’re seeing Adora fight an inner war, and it’s Shadow Weaver and Catra’s words that have come to represent the battle lines.
Adora’s spent so long denying herself her own needs for the sake of being useful to other people, and she’s defined her identity and self-worth completely in those terms. We’ve seen this behavior throughout the show, but these issues were brought to the forefront of her mind in 5x11 by Shadow Weaver and Catra.
On one side, Shadow Weaver has been convincing her to continue this pattern of self-denial and self-sacrifice for the greater cause. Personal desires will only get in the way of the mission and endanger your friends and the world, so get your act together, Adora. It doesn’t matter what you want, it only matters what you give.
And as much as Adora has tried to keep her guard up around Shadow Weaver, you can see how effectively she crept back into her head. Or more precisely, she never really left. Shadow Weaver raised Adora to have these self-harming and self-denying beliefs, and a lot of what she’s experienced after leaving the Horde and becoming She-Ra has just reinforced them. So here, Adora is the one echoing those beliefs.
But on the other side, there’s Catra’s tearful questions. Why does it always have to be you sacrificing everything? When do you get to choose? What do you want, Adora? Catra challenges Adora to think of herself for once. Not even specifically to put herself above others, but just to consider that her life and what she wants actually matters.
And it’s clear that Catra’s words manage to break through and actually shake up Adora’s long-held beliefs. It’s the first time someone asked her these questions she hardly dared to ask herself, and it came from the person she cares about most, the person all her suppressed desires are about. So the part of Adora that took Catra’s words in and holds them close projects Mara, who fought against She-Ra’s enforced destiny and wanted Adora to be free from it. This projection of Mara echoes Catra’s words again, trying to drive them deeper, to make them as much a part of Adora as anything Shadow Weaver or the First Ones or anyone else forced on her.
And that part of Adora that holds onto Catra’s words also carries them even further, daring to hope for more, daring to hope for herself something Catra hasn’t actually said (yet). “You deserve love too.”
