SILP Japanese 2013

Last year, when I was a TA at a college in IN, I had a student who loved Mononoke Hime, and she told me about this website that had the script, in Japanese and in English. She’d seen the movie ( and the script) so many times that she had almost remembered the words.

The movie uses a lot of old words, and commands and also words men would only use, but some of you might find it interesting.

Mononoke Hime Annoted Script

The script is not complete, and the student had been checking it but said that no one actually finished it.

Aiko would make an announcement again soon, but let her know if you have any preferences for our movie nights.
