“Ashitaka is not a cheerful, worry-free boy. He is a melancholy
boy who has a fate. I feel that I am that way myself, but until now, I
have not made a film with such a character. Ashitaka was cursed for a
very absurd reason. Sure, Ashitaka did something he should not have done
- killing Tatari Gami. But there was enough reason to do so from the
humans' viewpoint. Nevertheless, he received a deadly curse. I think
that is similar to the lives of people today. I think this is a very
absurd thing that is part of life itself.”
