An animated master piece

I think it's really hard to say which is my favorite movie, there's a lot of films that I think are amazing and everyone should watch. But if I have to choose one it should be Mononoke hime the master piece of the japanese director Hayao Miyasaki. 

Miyasaki is well known for Spirited Away (2001), probably because it won the Oscar for best animated film that year, and here in latin america was the first anime movie to be screened in theaters. Spirited Away it's an amazing movie but Mononoke hime  it's (in my opinion) the magnum opus of Miyazaki, it was released in 1997 and tells a story about the relation between progress and the destruction of the nature. The title Mononoke hime translates from the japanese as the princess of the avengers spirits, and it refers to the spirits of the creatures of the forest that in the movie tries to take revenge of humans who has destroyed the forest. Miyasaki in a lot of his movies has an ecological message, about the importance of take care of the nature and the enviroment, but it's in this film where he has the most radical and violent version of the relation between humans and nature. 

I love animated movies, specially japanese ones, but this one it's my favorite by far, it's visually and narratively beautyful and I think it's a must for everyone who enjoys anime and good movies in general. I liked that much that I get a Mononoke tattoo a few years ago so I literally have this film engraved in my skin.
