"They wanted to know if Lady Eboshi was a good guy or a bad guy, whether Shishigami was a good god or a bad god.  Miyazaki built a film in which there are no bad guys, " He says, "There are only consequences. Lady Eboshi is providing shelter for sex workers and people with leprosy but the result of what she is doing is throwing everything out of balance.  "     

" Unclouded by evil, unclouded by fear, unclouded by hate.  You just have to see what is actually there."
