DIRECTOR'S CUT: Therapist Reacts to PRINCESS MONONOKE (Patreon)

How do you untangle force, anger, and hate? And how do you control them all?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright continue their Ghiblification by reacting to Princess Mononoke. They talk about Ashitaka refusing hatred in a world full of it and his quest for peace between the humans and the forest. Jonathan talks about the role of hatred in our own lives and how we can exercise control in our anger and forcefulness, especially in tone and word choice. Alan points out the clever animation techniques of animating "on ones" and "on twos." Can you see it?
