The "Nausicaa" produced in 1984 is not as broad and profound as "Spirited Away", but as Hayao Miyazaki's earliest work, it not only envelops all the above elements, but also no matter how beautiful and beautiful the picture is. The thinking that the film itself brings to us is amazing and admirable. As Miyazaki said: "At the beginning of Nausicaa, my point of view was an extinction point of view; when it ended, my point of view was a coexistence point of view. People can't be too arrogant. We must realize that we are only one small species among many species on this planet. If we want humanity to survive another thousand years, we must create an environment for it now. That is exactly what we are trying to do.
” The Valley" takes the imaginary future where human beings are about to face an existential crisis as the background of the times, and tells the story of how a person and nature and how people should live in harmony. From the beginning of the film, it presents us an ideal utopia. On the earth, which is filled with miasma and is always threatened by giant insects, there is an untouched place - the Valley of the Wind. The folk customs here are natural and simple, and Tianyuan is beautiful and rich. , the people live a quiet and peaceful life. However, what is indignant is that even such an uncontested paradise cannot escape the trampling of human ignorance and greed.
Almost all of Miyazaki's animations have a sincere and brave little loli, and "Nausicaa" is no exception. Nausicaa, the little princess of the Valley of the Wind, has an angelic affinity. She navigates between humans, nature and animals with her kindness and fearlessness, driving a white glider to ride the wind, like a The dove of peace flying in the blue sky brings the gospel of peace to mankind.
From Hayao Miyazaki's animation, it is not difficult to see that he has a strong spaceflight plot, the boundless mystery of the sky and the yearning for free flight, which not only gave him a graceful inspiration, but also gave his animation a flexible and broad soul. . In the film, in the contrast between the bright painting style of the Valley of the Wind and the gloomy and dirty sea of rot, Naukashi's sincerity and kindness and the brutality and greed of Princess Dorumekia contrast each other, constructing a clear layered, three-dimensional and vivid picture. story scene. There are also those plant spores falling from the sky, such as snow flying, strange insects flying one by one, yellow sand everywhere, playful little fox squirrels, etc., which make the film full of innocence and childishness at the same time, covered with a layer of fairy tale. romantic colors.
The soundtrack for "Nausicaa" is the famous Japanese musician Joe Hisaishi. The film is the first collaboration between Hayao Miyazaki and Joe Hisaishi. The slow and urgent music closely matches the rhythm of the film and complements each other. There is also the "La La Song" sung by Hisaishi's 4-year-old daughter. The pure and tender child's voice is like a breeze blowing on the face, and it is like an angel chanting softly, which makes people feel enlightened and refreshing. It is precisely because of this successful cooperation that the two masters have joined forces on the road of art, writing immortal legends in the animation industry.
Like all Hayao Miyazaki's animations, "Nausicaa" also sows the seeds of goodness and hope while letting the flames of evil burn unobstructed. After a burst of unbridled burning, it is bound to usher in a lush green. This green is hope and love. That's why we love Miyazaki.
