Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind animated film information 1984 original name: 风の谷のナウツカ Chinese name: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind English name: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Production: Tokuma Shoten Hakuhodo original work. Script. Supervision/Produced by Hayao Miyazaki

/Music by Takahata Isao/Animation supervision by Joe Hisaishi/Art by Kazuo Komatsubara/Color design by Mitsuki Nakamura/Michiyo Yasuda What touches me most in the film is Nausicaa's incredible magic for communication.

In real life, people's communication is so fragile and flat, and language seems to be an almost incompetent tool.

Nausicaa's spirituality is completely three-dimensional. She can communicate in almost any way, whether it is people, enemies, beasts, insects or trees.

Nausicaa also seems to be the medium between humans and nature.

When humans hate those poisonous plants and the sea of ??rot filled with evil spores, and rack their brains to fight for the last place of survival, only Nausicaa knows that this poison originates from humans and is the backlash of human pollution.

nature.

She believes that plants are kind and pure. As long as there is clean soil to survive, they will use their bodies to purify toxins bit by bit.

Everyone thinks that plants are evil and produce poisonous spores, so Nausicaa can only secretly plant trees and flowers in the basement garden and water them with uncontaminated groundwater.

She understands the nature of plants and actually created an extremely pure garden with her own hands, full of gorgeous and dazzling flowers. This is a small sacred place for her to have a free dialogue with nature.

And she still feels powerless to the outside world, full of anger and hostility everywhere, poisonous gas is spreading to her homeland, people are competing with insects for survival territory, and there is endless aggression and conquest even among people. Human ambition drives

They awaken the most aggressive monsters and use self-destruction in exchange for the wealth of their dreams.

Greed and selfishness make people only think about their own immediate interests, never considering others or nature, repeatedly using violence to obtain, and heading towards destruction without hesitation.

This makes people feel that Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is actually a sad movie. The little girl Nausicaa carries too much of Miyazaki's own worries and sorrows.

The future world in the film coincides with the behavior of human beings in reality. This seems to be Miyazaki's desperate prediction of the fate of human beings.

Nausicaa is the only sober person, which makes her extremely lonely. Every time she steps forward to resolve the conflict alone, she works hard every time.

When humans kill each other, she desperately tries to convince others to stop fighting; when humans and insects face the final battle, she is even willing to sacrifice herself in exchange for peace.

"War can only destroy mankind, and only peace can survive." This belief even required her to sacrifice her life in exchange for people's understanding.

This makes people feel that it is so easy to communicate with animals, insects, and nature, but it is so easy to communicate with people. Appreciation of the Japanese movie "Spirited Away" "Spirited Away? This name is very nice." "You should cherish it."

Your name." One thing worth noting is that in Miyazaki Jun's movie "Spirited Away", people's names receive unprecedented attention.

Chihiro's story is entangled from beginning to end with the gain and loss of names.

Once upon a time, naming everything was the exclusive preserve of humans.

Now, the naming rights of human beings are in the hands of gods.

It shows that human beings are losing their legitimate identity given by history.

In their selfishness they forget to devote themselves to others.

Therefore, Qianxun is atonement on behalf of mankind.

Reflection on the human world is an eternal theme in Miyazaki's films.

This is why we are more accustomed to seeing his works as art films rather than children's cartoons.

He kept reinforcing the impression that humans had been offending some kind of deity.

And they must pay a heavy price for it.

But they can also compensate for all this with love.

Chihiro just wants to know how to remove the pig magic from her parents.

At the same time, she also wants to find her childhood love.

Once again we discover the power of emotion pursued by almost all works of art.

Xiao Qian must show her love for Bai Long and the masked man to get the chance to atone for her parents' sins.

This is still a hint: the hope of mankind lies in charity.

The City of Illusions is a place where gods bathe and rest.

The bathroom as a narrative context is intriguing.

This is not only because several basic sets of binary oppositions are formed within it, such as gods (bathers) and humans (bathers), cleanliness and pollution, beauty and ugliness, etc. These opposing concepts gather around the bathroom to form a story

unfolding context.

Moreover, shrouded in darkness, the bathroom also constitutes a closed hierarchical place.

There, humans lost their inherent social status, frogs and chickens became gods, and humans could only serve as the humblest slaves.

But in reality they have always been human sacrifices.

This contradictory identity setting shows the director's subversion of human egocentrism.

Miyazaki's films always imbue nature with divinity.

Similarly, "Princess Mononoke" also shows the relationship between man and nature.

Every tree in the forest has a soul, and the forest and the animals in the forest are gods.

When the head of the forest god was chopped off, all the trees and grass died.

Nature is sacred, and those animals that are slaughtered by humans are sacred.
