Thousands of years later, there is no such thing as you and me in the world, so we who live in the present need not worry about the future that does not belong to us. We can forget about the future life that has nothing to do with us, without fear. Living in the moment, squandering seemingly inexhaustible resources. Then, as the "everyone" Hayao Miyazaki would not think like this. He cares about the present. He thinks deeply about what we humans are doing. He is worried about our human beings a thousand years from now. Therefore, Miyazaki's works are always full of opposites. The infinite worries of mankind in the future and the yearning for ecological balance or world peace. "Nausicaa" tells the world of mankind a thousand years later. At that time, mankind was living between water and fire due to the deterioration of the environment. Mankind did not see the real reason for the deterioration of the environment. Instead, they wanted to burn the sea of ​​decay that purified the environment. In such a depressed and ignorant situation of human beings, Nausicaa, the princess of the Valley of the Wind, saw the nature of the problem clearly, and finally prevented this wrong fight. The story sounds like a great savior who saved the entire mankind. In fact, Miyazaki wants to satirize the ignorance and ignorance of human beings in the collective unconscious situation and the barbaric behavior that only resorts to violence to solve problems. The protagonist in the film, Nawu Sika, said that she was the savior, rather than saying that Hayao Miyazaki had the only hope for mankind. Although "Nausicaa" is an early work of Hayao Miyazaki, there are still many beautiful pictures in the film, and the protagonist in the film is also kind and beautiful. What’s interesting is that at the beginning of the film, it tells the toxic and toxic Corruption Sea that is hated by most humans, and then the picture of robe flying in the Corruption Sea is really so beautiful. In fact, this also confirms the ignorance of human beings and only blindly rejects those. Strange things without seeing their beautiful side. . . There are also the king worms in the film. Although they look hideous and disgusting, they then contend with barbaric humans at the expense of their lives in order to protect their companions from harm. Wang Chong is ugly in appearance but beautiful in his heart. Humans are beautiful in appearance but selfish and greedy in essence. The two form a clear contrast, and they also convey the values ​​of the film very well.

    (9/10) Nausicaa is really a very attractive heroine. She can take risks to save people, she can command the people calmly in the face of enemy invasion, and she can protect the people and choose to surrender calmly when the Valley of the Wind is occupied. You can maintain your bottom line in the fire of war, you can provide rescue and help to your partners in distress, you can calmly deal with the muzzle of the female general's revenge, you can go to the hail of bullets to implement your own ideas, and you can sacrifice your life to protect your hometown... Gong The heroines under Zaki Hayao's lens have never been male foils. Their charm has always transcended gender. Since the proliferation of harem films in Japanese anime, such heroines have rarely appeared. In today's Japanese animation industry, if a girl is brave, strong, independent, or even just keeps short hair or dresses neutral... Then she is destined to be arranged as a foil for the male character and "goddess" in the story, and becomes a male The Lord's harem and spare tire. And some female protagonists are very powerful on the surface, but they must be provocative enough, to sell breasts, to sell white legs... In short, they must become the "wife" that the otaku likes to dance with knives and guns, so that the otaku can pay.
