Our first Netflix movies arrived today. We just finished watching "Princess Mononoke". It's like a more grownup, more abstract "Fern Gully". It is the classic struggle between humans and the nature we destroy in our neverending quest for MORE. I thought it was very well done with beautiful animation, interesting characters and an exciting storyline. I especially liked the way they used silence and lack of movement so potently. There were many lengthy pauses and deafening silences of the sort that you never find in current American films. Anyway, I enjoyed it. I recommend it.
