It is recommended to watch movies first and then comics, otherwise there will be a great sense of gap. Because the ideological level of comics is much higher than that of movies, and the movies have omitted or simplified many characters, which seems not as full as in comics.
For example, the princess of the empire was described as a pure careerist in the movie, only thinking about using the giant soldiers to rule the world. But in the comics, he is a complex character. On the one hand, he is the most powerful commander in the empire, but he suffers from being a daughter and being squeezed out by a few elder brothers with no talent and virtue. He must also endure his mother being poisoned by his father and king to go crazy. Pain. On the other hand, I hope to pursue strong power, but in the end
I am influenced by Nausicaa’s bravery and tolerance. The theme of the film has also been weakened a lot, and it has become a pure struggle between man and nature. Everyone will be very happy. It is easy to think of careerists as bad guys, and people and insects who fight for "ecological balance" become "good guys" of course. But in the comics, this is not the case at all. In fact, everyone's purpose is good. , They all want to save the world, but they have adopted different methods. There is a group of people who completely destroy the world and rebuild a new world. This is a group of very strong scientists with superb biotechnology. It is them. Created insects and miasma forests. But Nausicaa chose another path: tolerance and let the world develop freely. As Nausicaa said at the end of the comic, "Everything is left to this." Planet! "No one is so-called evil, but the methods that everyone adopts are different. At the
end of the comics, we have been discussing such a problem: when there is a problem in this world, should we choose to destroy it and rebuild a new one? The world'should continue to work hard to restore it to its original state.
In contrast, the film seems a little superficial. But the good music and beautiful pictures also make up for it to some extent.
