The works that are only 2 years apart from the Valley of the Wind, the art style and the fantasy soundtrack of some electronic devices, the epic mural-like picture scrolls at the beginning, all have a sense of sight, and the civet cat (squirrel) jumping around on the giant in the middle. ?) echoes Nausicaa's pet. As an animation supervisor, Hayao Miyazaki, who is still a young man, still has endless enthusiasm for gliders, flying boats, and giant robots. However, the city in the sky is far more lively and lively than the Valley of the Wind, the young and young take risks without any worries, the countries that have perished will not add any burden of responsibility, and the pirates are also playing tricks throughout the process, perhaps a bit of the joy of Lupin III Dramatic taste? In the middle, the pirate mother Zan Sita was "just like when I was young", and her son replied with an unbelievable emotion, "Will Sita become like his mother?" When I looked at Sita's two black braids and the pirate mother skyrocketing The two pink twist braids suddenly burst out laughing.
The climax of the movie is at the end, the theme music of the children's chorus sounded, Baloo and Sita clasped their hands together, and recited the curse of destruction together. Compared with the terrible names and other spells in the laputa language, the great power to destroy everything. But only three syllables are needed, and everything disappears in an instant. The music stopped abruptly at the moment when the flying stone glowed, the bottom of the castle began to collapse, and the two were buried under the bricks holding hands. And their gliders, flying together.
I've only watched five or six of Miyazaki's films now, but they all make me feel that they have their own tastes. Not taking the road of repetition may also be a proof of good supervision! Compared with the grandeur and desolation brought by the desert country background of Nausicaa, Sky City utilizes the elements of the Victorian era of steam engine revolution: complex linkage machinery, wrong train network, working class doing hard work, pirates (Although they fly), military personnel dressed as capitalists and Russian soldiers, with huge airships, are more like a fun steampunk paradise. There is also the secluded mountain range of Sita, the cows in the cattle pen, and her wide robe, always remind me of Heidi in the Alps~
The picture creates a lot of space for pure fantasy and beauty: the sun filters the sky and the white dove, the green mountains and cliffs, the gorgeous airship, the Eden-like laputa... The soundtrack is used sparingly until the end of the film I finally heard the long-familiar main melody, as well as the brisk marching version of the airship taking off that appeared once, but every time the soundtrack comes out, it fits the atmosphere.
