The film was adapted from the manga of the same name drawn by Hayao Miyazaki, and the manga was still in serialization and was far from being completed, so the film was only adapted from the parts that had been created at that time, and the plot of the film only included the first and second comics part of the second book.
Many people had a great misunderstanding of the plot when watching this film, and even raised a lot of questions out of nothing. These people only realized after reading the comics and realized that this is what happened. The reason for this problem is that many people think that the film occupies the limited space of the comics, and the ideas contained in many comics are not shown in the film, which makes such a comic with the theme of environmental protection in the film more like a story. War and Peace.
In fact, even if this is just an opinion on the film itself, it would be a huge misreading. The kind of environmental protection ideas contained in the comics have actually been pointed out in the movie, but these contents appear in the description of the background established by the story in the title and in some corners of the film that have nothing to do with the main plot. A place that is easy to be overlooked: In the beginning of the film, Mr. Yuba came to a village that had been attacked and destroyed by poisonous fungi, and then a paragraph of text appeared to explain the background of the story; before leaving halfway, Nausicaa used the deep groundwater Come to study the causes of plant poisoning and environmental pollution, and after Nausicaa and Asberu fell into quicksand together, they discovered another mysterious area underground... These plots explain the film's story well. It is based on the premise that the earth's environment has been extremely polluted, and human beings have faced a serious existential crisis, and we have also figured out the real reasons for this situation, and whether there is still a possibility of turning around this situation. , From this, we can see that "Nausicaa" tells the story of human beings looking for a way out when they are already facing extreme desperation... Up to now I still think that "Nausicaa" is Hayao Miyazaki's best embodiment of environmental protection ideas Works, although Hayao Miyazaki has also done some other works with environmental protection ideas, but none of them can reach the depth of "Nausicaa".
It should be said that if you only watch this film, "Nausicaa" may only be a mid-level work by Hayao Miyazaki. If you consider the comics, this film may be Hayao Miyazaki's best work. But if you don't read the manga and can notice every detail in the film, this film can still be regarded as one of Miyazaki's best works, although in this case there is a kind of story that has not been told. a feeling of.
Another thing worth noting is the ending of the film: it is about the withdrawal of Dorumiko and the reconstruction of the Valley of the Wind after this. The theme of this film makes these plots an indispensable part of the whole film, although Miyazaki Jun will mention some of the follow-up development of the story in the end credits of many of his works, but no other work has the end credits as important as "Nausicaa".
The giant insect "King Insect" that appeared in this film has become a classic image, and was later used in the game "StarCraft", which also shows the huge influence of this animation.
Finally, I will mention a few special versions of "Nausicaa": the first is the Hong Kong version of "Nausicaa". It is only recommended for people who have seen the original version and like to play jokes. If you use this version to understand the movie, it is really Misleading is not light (fans who like Cantonese are indeed tragic here, because the Cantonese version of this film does not have a serious version). Then there is the English version. The earlier version, represented by New World Pictures, cut the original 116-minute film to only 95 minutes (by the way, this version changed the heroine's name to Zandra), which was once Has been strongly condemned by Hayao Miyazaki, and made everyone forget the existence of this version, and the version released by Disney is already a full version.
