"Nausicaa": Why I love this world so deeply

Compared with "My Neighbor Totoro", I am more looking forward to the re-release of Miyazaki's classic work in China

Except for "Aquaman", the new film in the theaters in December basically had few surprises, but the re-screening of two old films ignited many fans. One was "Dog Thirteen", which was a short-lived at the film festival 5 years ago, and the other one. One is the classic childlike work "My Neighbor Totoro" by the Japanese animation director Hayao Miyazaki - it is worth mentioning that the "rescreening" here is not only the film itself being re-screened on the big screen after 30 years, but also refers to the film itself. Since the film was introduced to mainland China in 1989, it was officially released on a large scale in national theaters, and it was also a digitally restored version. Reuniting with the simple, honest and cute chinchilla on the screen, listening to the clearer "Doudoulong" melody, for enthusiastic Japanese fans, this is actually a lost beauty. However, compared to "My Neighbor Totoro", I personally look forward to the re-screening of "Nausicaa". My implication is not that "My Neighbor Totoro" is inferior to "Nausicaa", but that "Nausicaa" is a work of Hayao Miyazaki, a Japanese animation film, and even in the world of animation. Extraordinary value.

Many people say that "Nausicaa" is Hayao Miyazaki's first animated film, but it's not. Before that, Hayao Miyazaki was one of the creators of the first-generation TV animation series of "Lupin III", one of the famous Japanese comic IPs. In 1981, Hayao Miyazaki came up with the idea of ​​creating an independent work, so he began to conceive the plan of the theatrical animation "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind", but at that time Japanese animation films did not have the support of the original comics and drama series. It is difficult to have a market response, so the initial "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" was not successfully approved. In order to make this animated film, Hayao Miyazaki began to serialize the manga of the same name in the animation magazine "Animage", which was newly launched by the Tokuma Shoten in 1982. In 1983, Hayao Miyazaki, who felt that the time was ripe, and Isao Takahata, Toshio Suzuki, who had co-produced animation works at the time, joined forces to launch this independent animation film of their own. This also became a milestone for Studio Ghibli, founded by the trio. The movie "Nausicaa", like the original comic book, tells the story of a hypothetical future where the environment is corrupted by the influence of war, and the story of a brave girl, Nausicaa, who is committed to changing the environment and saving mankind in a peaceful way. It’s just that the issues discussed in the original comic book in the later period are no longer limited to anti-war and environmental protection, because as Nausicaa discovered that if human society is not restored to its original technological prosperity, human beings can only curl up forever in the Valley of the Wind. A desert oasis; in order to restore prosperity to human society, it is necessary to destroy the only primitive ecological environment on the earth at the expense of creating a lifeless developed world and living in harmony with the oasis in the sea of ​​rot. How to choose ? This is a dilemma no less than the "trolley problem". In the animated version, because Miyazaki was eager to set up the project, he failed to further develop the world view and thematic expression, and finally solved the problem that was about to be thrown to Nausicaa in the comic plot with "harmony between man and nature", which is a great regret. But fortunately, apart from the ending, all aspects of "Nausicaa" are fascinating. Its elaboration on the anti-war/environmental protection theme is not only reflected in the plot, but also in the setting and picture expression. The sea of ​​rot in the film left a dangerous impression on both the characters and the audience at the beginning, which on the surface is enough to reflect the evil consequences of man-made destruction of the environment. However, with the exploration of the protagonist Nausicaa, it was discovered that the dangers on the surface are the protection of the oasis. The huge mutant insects, the poisonous miasma and the unstoppable quicksand are all to drive away the ecological balance of the oasis that may be disturbed and disrupted at any time. of humans. The damage to the environment will not affect the law of operation of nature itself. All things that respect the law of nature will eventually be sheltered by nature, and the more they go against the sky, the more they will suffer. It is worth mentioning that there is also the appearance of the giant soldier in the film. Giants are legendary weapons of war powerful enough to destroy the world. And when one of the two sides in the war temporarily awakened it again, although its body has not yet formed, its destructiveness cannot be underestimated. However, the power is great, and the unformed giant god soldier can only be regarded as a giant with mud feet, far less strong than the swarm of king insects that attacked because of anger. This plot is a reflection of Miyazaki's scornful attitude towards the seemingly powerful US and Soviet sides in the Cold War at that time. When it comes to king insects, they should be the guardians of the oasis, but they have become the weapons of war for the other side in the war. Miyazaki's accusation of human destruction and abuse of natural resources for activities is beyond words. In addition to the content and scenes of the work, Hisaishi's soundtrack is also outstanding. It is said that the original composer of the soundtrack was Haruoomi Hosono, and even the theme song has already been created. But Hayao Miyazaki just happened to listen to the album of music composed by Joe Hisaishi inspired by "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind", and he felt it was just in time, so he asked Joe Hisaishi to create the soundtrack, and many of the songs in the original album were also used. in the movie. Although objectively I feel aggrieved for Hosono Haruki, but today, comparing the main melody of the soundtrack of "Nausicaa" and the main melody of the movie's theme song, it is not difficult to see that Hisaishi makes the soundtrack more epic. In the second half, the tragic and solemn tone broke out, which is more in line with the world background with a strong sense of doom in the film. After all, Hayao Miyazaki's original intention in creating this story was not simply to create a goddess or heroine, but to reflect what human beings will do in the face of future environmental degradation through the girl's actions and choices. I personally thought that this was Joe Hisaishi's best-quality soundtrack, and it wasn't one of them, because although most of his soundtracks were of the same quality, the melody was more ballad-like and popular, and there was no such thing as "Nausicaa". Feel. "Nausicaa" is the foundational work of Hayao Miyazaki's animation career: the pioneering work of Studio Ghibli, the beginning of the cooperation between Hayao Miyazaki and Joe Hisaishi for more than 30 years, the pioneer of Japanese original animation films... But more importantly, it established the mainstream artistic expression of Miyazaki's work and even Japanese animation films. The theme expression of mainstream Japanese animation films has changed in the past. Through the creation of artistic conception and scenes, the audience can feel the atmosphere and at the same time feel the main idea of ​​the work, instead of preaching by direct lines and actions. Hayao Miyazaki is actually a low-yield hermit, especially in the 21st century, when he has become famous, his creative output is even less. But just like the sea of ​​rot that guards the oasis, it is enough as long as his existing works can permanently bring spiritual wealth to fans and younger generations. Show up. Giants are legendary weapons of war powerful enough to destroy the world. And when one of the two sides in the war temporarily awakened it again, although its body has not yet formed, its destructiveness cannot be underestimated. However, the power is great, and the unformed giant god soldier can only be regarded as a giant with mud feet, far less strong than the swarm of king insects that attacked because of anger.
