Princess Mononoke 1997

I appreciate "Princess Mononoke" from a singular point of view. In medieval Japan, it was the female chieftain Eboshi who saved the minds and bodies of leprosy patients who had been discriminated against. She appears to be a bloodless, evil woman, but she is really a woman unlike any other woman in modern Japan, adored and respected by the men, and yet she controls the entire organization, which could be called a gang. She overcomes the old stereotype of women as dirty. Although only San stands out, she is also a fine leading lady.
