Wow. I never would have guessed that this movie was produced in the 80s. It was gorgeous! I have always been interested in watching this movie. I have regularly seen Nausicaa as one's favourite female character, and I can see why. Nausicaa is very likeable, she holds traits that is rarely seen in other characters. She's strong minded and is all-around caring. I'd love to see her character in more anime.
The other (obvious) reason why I looked out for this title was because it's from Hayao Miyazaki! Definitely jumping in on it. Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind is certainly one of the best. His works are always refreshing, adventuresome, beautiful, and thought provoking. His works are quite intelligent, never stupid. Even before this media-driven "Green Earth" craze in today's world, Miyazaki approached these environmental topics two decades ago.
I think the best thing about this movie was THE MUSIC. Joe Hisaishi, you are incredible for composing such excellent pieces. When the monstrous bugs showed themselves, the music sounded very RPG-esque. I loved it! There were also dramatic pieces that had a classical music appeal. There's an abundance of praise-worthy melodies in this movie, and of such variety. Such great work for his debut.
You won't lose Miyazaki's creativity in Nausicaa. Its wild vegetation, flying aircrafts, and... huge bugs! I would sometimes cringe at the creepy crawlies, but the story was really endearing that some of them became cute.
Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind contains powerful characters and powerful messages. It has great adventure. This movie is very good. | |
