I didn't mean to say the story itself becomes more literal I use the term 'literal' to refer to one of the English subtitle options as it is closer to a direct (or literal) translation of the Japanese script, while the English dub's script takes more liberties with the language in order to be better understood by an English-speaking audience. Anyway, I've ranted on long enough about this. If you're watching on Blu-Ray, the only English subtitles you have available are the subtitles for the hearing impaired (meaning it's just the English audio transcript). I like the Japanese script more (just because I prefer the tone), and prefer the main character's Japanese performance.Īdditionally, the score in the Japanese audio track is mixed better (which is significant only because the movie has one of the greatest scores ever recorded). I personally prefer to watch with Japanese audio and literal subtitles. The (literal Japanese) script reads more like the King James Bible. The script is an interesting point, because the Japanese and the English scripts are written in what sound like completely different voices (comparing the literal Japanese translation and dubtitles): wording in the English script is more colloquial, yet still appropriate to the lofty and spiritual themes of the story.
And Jiko/Jigo's performances in both dubs are so radically different from one another that I can't honestly say one is decidedly better than the other. Morro, a wolf goddess, is played by a man in the Japanese dub, which has to do with Japanese theology in that all wolves are in essence 'male' even if they're female (just a forewarning in case you think your subtitles are broken). He's not awful-I watched the dub for many years and had no problem with it (Mononoke was even at one point considered my favorite movie)-but the fact that he's the main character and does most of the talking in the movie causes me to opt for the Japanese instead.įor the Japanese dub, Yōji Matsuda's performance as Ashitaka has more of that subtle range of emotion which Crudup's performance lacks. In aiming for Ashitaka's subtlety and generally reserved nature, Crudup shoots a bit too far and just comes across as somewhat lifeless. I'm not a fan of Billy Crudup's performance in the film. Some of the performances in the dub are quite good (my favorites being Gillian Anderson and Minnie Driver, though given TenacityMan's comment, there's evidently some disagreement on that subject). Obviously the biggest reason to watch the dub would be because it's in a language you can understand and not be forced to 'read' the movie. For the purposes of this comment, I feel it would be helpful to first outline several options you've got when watching the movie: DVD audio: English, Japanese DVD subtitles: English script (dubtitles), Japanese script (literal translation)' Blu-Ray audio: English, Japanese Blu-Ray subtitles: English script (dubtitles) Anyway, it's very much a matter of personal preference, as there are advantages to each. The writing for the Princess Mononoke dub is sensible, functional, and at times, downright beautiful. It doesn't suffer at all (or at least much, it's been a while since I've seen it) from the problems which plague a lot of other English dubs of foreign movies, like making the dialogue over-expository in an attempt to overcome cultural differences, or running over what were moments of silence in the original with additional dialogue to make translation/lip syncing easier. Some of the voice acting is a bit questionable in the English dub, but the actual translation is really well done. They're both good enough options that it should just come down to what you prefer in general. This is met be animosity by both sides as they each see him as supporting the enemy.
