      "The Valley of the Wind"


      Every teenager and girl has been alone in a lonely night by the window, looking forward to or confused about the future. However, Miyazaki is pinning his hopes on a new generation of young people. Human beings and nature struggle painfully in the contradiction of each other. The young and middle-aged of us are even more burdened with the fate of resolving this contradiction. When I saw the princess died, my tears were about to flow, and my skin got goosebumps. Miyazaki's heroic conception...

      the sound of the wind~

      Hayao Miyazaki's many movies are not only pure cartoons, but more of a reflection on contemporary human problems. For example, Nausicaa is clearly saying that the destruction of the natural environment by human beings must be counterattacked by nature. The species living on this planet are not more noble than the other, they should all coexist peacefully, contribute to the sustainable development of the earth, and continue the future~

      On the other hand, I really like the picture of...

      The world of Hayao Miyazaki

      Miyazaki Jun has set up a world that is on the verge of despair, a world destroyed by humans and devastated by humans. Human beings are struggling to survive in it, and they are almost powerless to support the revenge of nature's wrath. But even in such an environment, there will still be a world like Naushika. Such a girl, with her unique inclusiveness of all living things, sees this world that is hated by "normal people" but helpless From a human perspective, history is never sad. Those...

      man and nature

      Hayao Miyazaki is amazing, his animation style is simple but very comfortable, there are planes, wars and peace in nature. The topics are all deeply educational. The Valley of the Wind satirizes mankind's delusional desire to conquer nature with weapons. Human beings do damage to the environment. Nature has silently endured to the limit and will definitely return them one by one. Advocate the protection of the environment and the peaceful coexistence of human beings with nature. The...

      Miyazaki

      From this Miyazaki film, I learned how important it is to protect the environment, especially for us humans. I can't even think about what we could do if we were stuck in that situation, what would it be like, helpless, or hopeless, bleak, or just waiting to be wiped out, and finally more Yes, perhaps still helpless. It contains the thinking and ideas of the old man over the years. So it lashes out almost relentlessly, leaving us with little hope behind a beautiful and moving story. Maybe...

      The introduction of the leading proposition of nature and the future, and the rigorous and grand world view structure, "Nausicaa" plays a magnificent epic song belonging to a heroine from the vision of the innocent girl Nausicaa, in the virtual sci-fi realm , Hayao Miyazaki's delicate and soft style of painting endows the film with the most eye-catching base color, and the long-cherished wish of harmonious coexistence between man and nature is even more moving...

      In order to fight for a so-called super weapon to deal with the sea of ​​rot, he started a war, but never considered his own reasons. People are always so stupid, right? Seeing the tentacles of Avatar, the shadow of Princess Mononoke, the kind girl, I have more and more respect for the...

      Haha, this is my shy Rotten Tomatoes top movie>< I watched the English version dubbed by Dijia in 2003 (lol's top brand at the time~), the voice-changing period was almost over at that time, and it didn't sound very embarrassing (Fortunately, I brushed Even Stevens before). A boy with a very cute character. He has a lot of benefits. I like it~ I'm so cute at...

      A magnificent work, the themes of anti-war and environmental protection are well combined, and there are also religious elements. When you see the end, you just think of Exodus and Moses dividing the Red Sea? At this point in time, it's just the right time, in the environment of global warming In the next few decades, the ecological problems will become more and more serious. If humans don’t learn to respect other creatures, respect each other, and live in harmony with nature instead of...

      Miyazaki's first collaboration with Joe Hisaishi in the 1980s, the soundtrack and the theme complement each other, tragic and beautiful. The heroine was brave and kind, and finally stood on the golden grassland paved with insect whiskers. At that moment, she achieved the myth of the Valley of the Wind. Here we can see the origin of Pikachu, the origin of the insect master, and even the origin of Avatar, the origin of the rise of many animators. He has always pursued the theme of harmony and...

    Adaptation dilemma

    Due to the complexity and huge content of the comic version, it is difficult to fit into a two-hour movie, and the film's adaptation script has not yet been decided. Under time constraints, Miyazaki had to decide to enter the painting stage first. In the absence of a script, the construction of the film is completed directly through the storyboard (or sub-shot). The story of the final movie "Nausicaä" is taken from the first half of...
