this morning, I discovered that this kid in Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla is meant to be the kid from Hamtaro

so while GxM doesn't exist in any prior Godzilla timeline, it does exist in the Hamtaro universe, which to me implies that the sentient hamsters are some form of mutation as well, possibly irradiated by-

#godzilla #mechagodzilla #hamtaro #godzilla against mechagodzilla #yes im aware its just an injoke because it was released theatrically as a double feature with a hamtaro movie #kaiju #tokusatsu #anime #japanese cinema

Life is infinitely small, but also infinitely magnificent.4

Is it possible that each of us is not Chihiro, and each of us has not had such a trip. In fact, the road that Chihiro has traveled is also the one we have traveled. We have changed from being timid and cowardly to being brave and strong. We find ourselves on the path of self-lost, we find ourselves on the path of self-insignificance. Along the way, we gain family, friendship, and love. A small act of ours may change others, and even help them find their former self.

The road of life is like the water train that does not go back and forth. Some people will get off the station in the middle, and some people will accompany you to the end. Growth is always accompanied by loss, even if you are nostalgic, don't look back, because there is no road without wind and waves, there will be loneliness, there will be sadness, and there will be hope. When we were young, we envy Chihiro's travels, but that's actually the road we've traveled. We are all travelers on this road of life...

"Have the gentlest dream, full of the world in a hurry."

Understanding Princess Mononoke

People on twitter have asked me to write this up, after speaking just a bit about it on the bird plattform.

So, recently I rewatched Princess Mononoke and talked about it with a friend, who is Japanese with a degree in Japanese history. And I think some of it was rather interesting.

Some of you might already know this. But others might not. So just endulge me for a moment.

Let me start with Ashitaka. The movie does mention that he is Emishi - but many people are not aware, what this means.

See, Japan had quite a lot of indigenous cultures (I will talk more about those tomorrow). Most might know the Ainu, as they are still around today. Fewer might know about the Ryukyuan people of Okinawa, who are also still around. But there are several indigenous people, who have once lived in Japan, but whose culture hence had become instinct. The Emishi are one of them. They lived in Northern Honshu and their culture disappeared around the 10th century.

The movie, of course, takes place in the late 14th century, which is why the monk notes, that he knows what Ashitaka is, but will keep it secret. The idea is that Ashtakas little village had stayed secret to avoid being destroyed. As such Ashitaka has a different relation to the nature and the nature spirits than the other characters of the movie, who are to engrossed in the mainly Buddhist culture.

Another thing that has to be addressed is Iron Town and Lady Eboshi's people. According to the official Japanese material to the movie, Lady Eboshi once was a prostitute herself, who happened to get power by getting taken to China. Which is why she is in possession of the Chinese gun technology. She then decided to use that to allow herself power - but not entirely out of selfish reasons. Because she, of course, takes in untouchables. Japan, to this day, has an untouchable caste. Which are people who work certain "dirty" jobs or sicknesses. Most of the women in Iron Town are prostitutes who Eboshi had bought free from their brothels. And she wants to have a town where those people can live good lives.

Because of this she has to hope for the support of the Emperor, as the Samurai lords in the surrounding areas do not want her there.

Which brings me to the finale and killing the god. Here is a thing that you have to understand of Japanese history. The original indigenous people of Japan believed in nature spirits, that at times were actually gods. Especially mountain gods. As Buddhism spread (again, something I will talk about more tomorrow) the upper class went out to kill the gods.

Old Japanese history will talk about people killing gods in the same way, as we talk about St. Patrick and the snakes of Ireland. As if it has really happened.

And that is something that Eboshi tries to do. It is killing the old god, but more than that: killing the old culture.

One of the central conflicts the movie shows is, that the nature spirits are loosing their self-awareness. That they revert to normal animals. Because the indigenous culture that revered the nature spirits is fading away.

Which then is, why Ashitaka, who comes from one of those indigenous cultures, is the main character of the movie. Because he still has this connection to the nature spirit, that the other people have lost.

Yes, the movie is very solarpunk in hindsight. But it also understands what it means to loose connection to nature.

And I find that really beautiful.

Life is infinitely small, but also infinitely magnificent.3

Granny Tang is a bureaucratic class greedy for money and oppressing labor, while her twin sister, Granny Qian, is very different from her.

Giant babies are children in the greenhouse that were spoiled by their parents in that era. Their parents gave them meticulous care, but they forgot that what they needed most was to grow up independently.

Grandpa Boiler is an oppressed working people, but he has six arms at his age, and he rushes to work every day. Xiaoling is a young man who worked diligently in that era, but she is concerned with the outside world and has infinite longing for the unknown.
