Princess Mononoke (1997) is an animated film made by Miyazaki Hayao. While this film is a love story, it also has other themes. One of the themes concerns the destruction of the environment. Miyazaki has revealed that The Epic of Gilgamesh gave him the idea for filming Princess Mononoke. He developed this idea, setting it in Muromachi Japan. He incorporated various historical materials and sources in his film. These materials, blended into Miyazaki's work, add charm to the film. In my opinion, one condition of a masterpiece in the field of film is to confront a contemporary problem, incorporating old cultural assets daringly. After explaining and interpreting the materials and sources that Miyazaki uses, I classify the characters in this film into three basic types. They are classified according to their attitudes toward nature. I also analyze their relations with one another briefly. Finally, I add that fury is the other theme of this film.
