PRINCESS MONONOKE!

The princess Mononoke is a movie with Japonese animation from Hayao Hiyzaki. It is a movie based on Nature and describes the different problems relating to it, for instance, the pollution etc... "Mononoke" is not a name, it is a translation of *avening spirit* so that the title of the film is "Princess of the avening spirits". I think that this movie invites us to react and see what are we doing. In this movie there is a spirit of the forest.. And this spirit is as if we say, the heart, if it dies, all the forests die. The argument places in the ancient Japan, in an epoch of rebelliousness, warriors samurais and peoples separated by thousand of kilometres. The clan Tatara, the foundrymen of iron, start devastating the forests. Then the spirit of the forest, a mythical creature, grants the gods of the forest, who adopt the form of gigantic beasts, the power to protect his land against the human beings.
