Year: 1997
Director: Hayao Miyazaki
Plot: This $20 million animated adventure/fantasy quickly became the highest grossing Japanese film in Japanese film history (making $150 million in Japan during its first seven months). Set in the 14th century, the ecology-themed epic was directed by Hayao Miyazaki whose previous films were acquired by Disney for U.S. distribution plus other territories. Princess Mononoke depicts a mystical battle between Animal Gods of the forest and humans during Japan's Muromachi Period. Young Ashitaka receives a fatal infection after a demonic wild boar attacks his northern village. Seeking a cure, he sets out to locate the deer-like god Shishigami. Along the way, he sees the rape of the Earth by a mining village. The constant plundering by the village has brought the wrath of the Wolf God, Moro, who attacks the village along with San, a human who was raised by the wolf god. She communicates with the nature spirits -- which is why she is called Princess Mononoke ("spirits of things"). Ashitaka wants these opposing forces to co-exist, and he hopes to bring peace between San and the ironworks owner, Lady Eboshi. However, he is thwarted as higher powers, intent on killing the Shishigama, intrude, and a battle erupts over the future of all nature. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

Body: Animated, foreign-language, feature-length documentary. These are all separate categories for the Academy Awards, but they also together describe Ari Folman’s Waltz with Bashir, a film that has received tons of praise and Oscar buzz since premiering at Cannes last May. With such a rare combination and transcendence of genres, Waltz could possibly have been the first film to be nominated for Best Animated Feature, Best Documentary Feature and Best Foreign Language Film. Unfortunately, soon after being announced as Israel’s submission to the foreign category, Folman’s film fell out of contention for the documentary prize after its distributor, Sony Pictures Classics, had to choose between having a qualifying theatrical release and taking part in the New York Film Festival. But even if Waltz had been deemed technically eligible for the doc category, would the nominating committee have given it much of a chance? According to the Academy’s Documentary Feature rules, the film “may employ partial re-enactment … animation … or other techniques, as long as the emphasis is on fact and not fiction.” Waltz could possibly fall under this guideline, yet the word “partial” is key. Does “mostly” constitute as ‘partial”? It will be interesting to see if another mostly animated documentary, Brett Morgen’s Chicago 10, is deemed ineligible or if it makes the committee’s shortlist of 15 semi-finalists. Now, left with two categories to be considered for, Waltz will probably only garner one nomination. Here’s why Sony would be foolish not to concentrate on a push for the Animated Feature category: The film has a much better shot at being one of the three titles up for Best Animated Feature, surely competing with Wall-E and Kung Fu Panda. In the seven years that the category has existed, there have been four foreign films nominated for Best Animated Feature, and one of these titles (Hiyao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away) actually won the award. Meanwhile, comparatively, there seems to have been no film nominated for the Foreign Language Film prize that was either animated or a documentary. A few films of each type have been submitted for contention in the foreign category (Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke and the recent Lebanese doc Before Flying Back to Earth, to name examples). However, it has been far more common for non-fiction foreign films to be nominated in the Documentary Feature category and for animated foreign films to now be nominated in the new Animated Feature category. Regardless of the history of the Foreign Language Oscar, though, Waltz has less a chance of being a nominee in that category simply due to its near certainty of being nominated for the animation award. When a film is eligible for multiple categories, there’s a possibility that respective Academy branches will see that film as better suited – and only suited – for another award than its own. Therefore, the foreign category’s nominating committee could shrug off Waltz in the anticipation that the film will receive the nomination from the animation branch. Such a pass-off may have happened last year, when France chose Persepolis as its submission to the Foreign Language category. While the film ended up receiving a nomination for Best Animated Feature, it failed to even be shortlisted as one of the nine semi-finalists for the foreign prize. Like Persepolis, though, Waltz faces stiff competition in the animation category from Pixar. Last year, the foreign contender was beaten by Ratatouille, while this year any dark horse candidate will be pummeled by Wall-E, especially if the latter film doesn’t garner a coveted Best Picture nom — the Academy will of course never need to include an animated film in the top category now that the genre has its own specific space. As for the foreign category, if Waltz does make it into contention, it will likely lose to Laurent Cantet’s The Class, which also fared better at Cannes during the festival’s awards ceremony (and which is also being distributed by Sony Classics). For the French, of course, it would be a bittersweet victory to beat an animated feature considering last year’s circumstances with its submission of Persepolis. Despite the probability that Waltz will lose whichever category it’s nominated in, there is far more benefit to the film being recognized by the animation branch than the foreign branch. Films that are merely nominated for the Foreign Language Oscar do not necessarily come out of the Academy Awards with a greater guarantee of reaching an American audience. Comparatively, being listed as only one-third of a group that also includes blockbusters like Wall-E and Kung Fu Panda is sure to get Waltz more attention. Not only is it good company to be in, it’s a slimmer, more exclusive league, too. Of course, being nominated in both categories would be the best option for Waltz, even if it walks away with neither trophy. Obviously an arthouse film, particuarly one with the triple handicap of being an animated, foreign-language documentary, will always benefit from having its title heard multiple times during the Oscars telecast.

Body: Or how about, Dances with Wolves (1990) and Farewell to the King (1989) where Kevin Costner and Nick Nolte are mesmerized by the local American-Indian/Borneo people, become one of them and finally are forced to face-off against the modern world encroaching upon these non-industrialized societies. A more obvious movie would be The Last Samurai (2003) as it was readily compared to Dances with Wolves when it came out. Or, The Gods Must Be Crazy (1981) and The Emerald Forest (1985) where native peoples of the Kalahari desert/Amazon rainforest come into contact with the encroaching industrialized world forcing one of them to confront it. They're very different in tone though, so the first one (The Gods...) could be paired with Crocodile Dundee (1986) as "guy who visits Western world and thinks everything is weird and hilarious", while the latter (Emerald Forest) could be seen with Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984) as "Western world boy raised by indigenous people/apes is searched for by family". Or, Princess Mononoke (1997) and Silent Running (1971) where one of the main characters goes renegade in a last ditch effort to defend nature against the encroaching civilization of man. They make a nice pair as they contain similar themes through different genres. Love this idea of pairing up movies... and love the word 'encroach'... obviously. Just went to get something to eat and came up with this: Made in Britain (1981) and Into the Wild (2007) where main character resents authority and society, wants to free himself from it, but in the former case does this through confrontation and urban crime, while the latter does so through avoidance and seeking out nature. Both characters despise/dislike their records and documents by respectively shitting on them and burning them. Wildly different movies! You could also watch Made in Britain with American History X as "movie where main character is a neo-nazi skinhead who plays in the new Incredible Hulk movie that most people prefer over the 2003 version because it is completely formulaic and predictable". Or, First watch The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover (1989) and then Delicatessen (1991) *POSSIBLE SPOILER* I really can't comment on the connection without giving out spoilers. There's also the well-known Twilight Zone episode How To Serve Man (1962), that'll go well with these two as a starter (pun intended). Make sure you have pork dinner before watching these movies. Or, City Slickers (1991) and Deliverance (1972) when buddies go out on a nature trip and nothing seems to go right. ;-)

Body: I fell out of the Anime fad almost as quickly as I dove into it, and now 95% of the time refuse to see anything "Anime" (it's not the art, honestly, I really like the style and think alot of work is put into it...It's the Fandom-and-animated series that get to me). I was worried at first to of seen Disney getting together with the anime, i thought that the "trend" had become even bigger and soon everything was going to be like Naruto. But after I heard it was directed by Hayao Miyazaki, I honestly calmed down and was quite excited to see how it turned out. I more than enjoyed Princess Mononoke and a couple of his other films, never once before had he disapointed me. And Spirited away wound up being one of the best Disney/Miyazaki films I had seen in quite a long time. It was very Alice in wonderland like but more heart-touching. I became quite attatched to little Chihiro and there were quite a few scenes that i felt i could relate to. I'll admit right now I almost cried in the end. The animation was outstanding, and the English Dubs actually fit well with the characters. Overall, I give 5 out of 5.
