I remember when I was in the second grade of elementary school, the school organized everyone to go to the movies before the end of the term holiday. Now I still remember that after the teacher's speech, when I came back from the toilet of the theater, what I saw was the opening song playing on the screen, the history and prophecy of the Valley of the Winds depicted on the tapestry. Nausicaa was also one of my childhood dreams. Therefore, the Valley of the Wind has a very special meaning to me.
The whole film only intercepted a small part of the comics for production, so some of the characters in the film will be different from the comics, not to mention the world view and the story line. But as a single theatrical version of the film, the film is still very satisfactory. The rotten sea and the king insect, who were regarded as the great enemies of mankind at the beginning, as well as the legendary savior widely circulated in the village, were well explained after the adventure of the heroine. Not only does it have a surprising reversal, but it can be very self-consistent. The reflection on the war in the film and the wanton destruction of the earth by human beings make this film very profound as Miyazaki's first work. The film not only reflects on human beings, but also praises the splendor of human creation, such as the description of human high-tech on the tapestry at the beginning, the remains of the spaceship in the film and so on.
In addition, as the absolute protagonist of Nausicaa, although she seems to be an overly perfect character from a modern perspective, I have to say that he is convincing. Kind-hearted, likes to explore the unknown, and has no preconceived hostility to any creature. It is because of this that she can become the one who can see the truth of the world clearly in the sea of rot, and can also be the one who will stop the war between humans and the king bug even if she sacrifices herself. In comparison, the environmental protection girl who has emerged in recent years, who deliberately came by boat in order to express her environmental protection, accused the Chinese people of using wooden chopsticks (actually bamboo) to show off the Internet celebrity, which really makes people feel too much. Speechless. As the two most famous early works of Hayao Miyazaki, I personally like the Valley of the Winds more than the Castle in the Sky. Relatively speaking, the city in the sky is more like a fairy tale, and even the villains are very flat and straight. Relatively speaking, the bad guys in the Valley of the Wind always give people a feeling they can't hate.
