The theme of Princess Ghost is the relationship between man and nature, which describes the story that human beings have been retaliated by nature and paid for it by constantly destroying nature in order to develop their scientific and technological strength.
Film evaluation
The Ghost Princess directed by Miyazaki Hayao focuses on the struggle between human beings and nature and tells the cruelty and ruthlessness of human wars. The instinct of human beings to pursue survival and happiness is the root of the conflict with other races in nature, especially after human beings began to master advanced science and technology. In Miyazaki Hayao's works, the relationship between man, nature and man is vividly displayed.
Miyazaki Hayao regards "man" and "nature" as two extremes that can never compromise with each other, and thinks that human beings must destroy nature in order to survive. In the film, in order to coordinate the peace between the two sides, Ashitaka once juggled between man and god, but in the end it was also a tragic ending, and both man and god lost.
Ashitaka also said: "I have tried my best to stop it, but I finally failed." However, whether the problem of coexistence between man and nature can be solved or not, the first thing human beings should do is to survive. At the end of the film, the death of the unicorn beast god makes everything reborn, and people have to start a new life. Ashitaka said to Sang, "We must live together!" Again reiterated the theme of the whole play.
