    Not my favorite Miyazaki movie but that's not saying much because I still thoroughly enjoyed it. I think I found it harder to get into than some of his other works. I definitely enjoyed the premise about the world getting back at the people for destroying it.

    all copies of this animated film must be burnt to a cinder. then the ashes must be placed into a barrel of nuclear waste and fired off on the back of a rocket through space into the sun, and then we oughta blow the earth up (a mass suicide of sorts?) just to make sure there's no ...( read more)more viewings of this animated bore! did anyone else find this mind numbingly boring or is it just me? i feel like my mind has been raped. like a scared child in need of reassurance. terrified that i might someday catch a glimpse of nauseating nausicaa on a tv screen. just take me now!

    Guilty Pleasure? I don't think so, this movie is a definite masterpiece. My new favorite animated film. Hayao Miyazaki's 1st masterpiece, and in this writer's opinion, his very best one. Joe Hisaishi's music just added to what was an already great movie. Although this movie will ...( read more)often be seen as what it is, A film, for me it will always symbolize itself as what it truly is, a work of art.

    In 1984 Nausicaä of the Valley of the Winds, Hayao Miyazaki's second film, was released, and led to the creation of a landmark called Studio Ghibli. Initially, Nausicaä could not find financial backing, so Miyazaki created a manga series instead, which proved succes...( read more)sful and thus paved the way for this feature-length animation. After that, he would eventually become the greatest animation director of modern cinema, and make it into the list of the greatest of all time.

    A Sci-Fi epic warning against the dangers of damage to the environment, a theme Miyazaki would later continue in Princess Mononoke. It shows a world devastated by mankind 1000 years before in a war which burnt the world. Survivors now live in isolated communities seperated by the Sea of Decay, a poisonous forest inhabited by giant insects, chief of which are the Ohmu. Nausicaä is a Princess who lives in The Valley of the Winds, a peaceful place until it's shattered by a aircraft from the warlike people of Tolmekia, which crashes into their valley. Closely followed by a resuce party from Tolmekia it is discovered that the crash ship carries a weapon left over from the old world, with which the Tolmekians plan to destroy the Sea of Decay and reclaim the Earth for man.

    Miyazaki sets the model here for his imaginative vitality, with probably his most fantastical tale - machines, creatures and setting all impressively realised. There is also the spiritualism that can be felt elsewhere in his work; though taken further here by a prayer to God (by Nausicaä), a rarity in a Studio Ghibli production. Having the Ohmu harry humanity is noteworthy. 'Ohmu' is pronounced in the film just as 'Aum', a sacred word in Hinduism. Indian strings in the musical score play in relation to the insect. In Hinduism there is the belief in karma - where in the cycle of life, rebirth to a better or worse life is a result of our actions.

    Few are the filmmakers of our time who can claim they made their first masterpiece at their second attempt. Hayao Miyazaki is one of them.

    Lo que siempre consiguió Hayao Miyazaki, el maestro de la animación japonesa, desde sus primeras películas, como Kaze no tani no Naushika (Naussicä In the Valley of the Wind, 1984), fue amalgamar una serie de referencias visuales de una manera sutil y sin dificultades. Esta es ot...( read more)ra de sus fantásticas historias, eclécticas, que, como siempre, están protagonizadas por un personaje femenino. Naushika (voz de Sumi Shimamoto) es una chica que es una combinación de princesa de cuento de hadas y amazona. Naushika es fuerte, con decisión, hábil volando en una especie de planeador, experta en artes marciales y una amante de los animales. No nada más es defensora de los animales, sino que puede comunicarse con ellos. Es un personaje típico de las primeras películas de Miyazaki, como la princesa Mononoke, de su filme homónimo.



    El relato es un clásico alegato ambientalista, en el que Miyazaki muestra sus preocupaciones por el destino de la raza humana, al ser esta la causante de que el mundo y la ecología estén en perpetuo deterioro. La historia se ambienta en un mundo poblado de criaturas fantásticas, en este caso, insectos gigantes, que lucen más como criaturas alienígenas. Los insectos viven en una especie de confinamiento, en una jungla que se encuentra contaminada debido a las sustancias tóxicas que arrojan las mismas plantas. Cualquiera que quiera internarse en esta jungla, tendrá que usar una máscara y traje especiales. En realidad, este desequilibrio ecológico ocurrió a causa de los humanos hace miles de años, al mismo tiempo que un ejército de siete gigantes guerreros de piedra acabaron con todo a su paso.
    La música de Joe Hisaishi (eterno colaborador de Miyazaki) le da un tono épico a toda la historia. Uno de los mejores momentos, luego de la batalla aérea, es aquella en la que Naushika se encuentra perdida en la jungla de insectos. Es como si Naushika estuviera atrapada en la ?Isla Misteriosa? de Julio Verne, sólo que en lugar de animales mutantes, son insectos gigantes los que se roban la escena.

    "NAUSICAA (not based on the book by Sartre) is quite an impressive film," I must say. Those bugs (the "Ohm") look like Philippe Druillet creations, and that, my friend, is a good thing. Wait, you're not my friend! Get lost!
