I am glad that Disney has decided to release this movie in Region 1, enabling me to view it on a Region 1 player. I understand that Miyazaki initially began work as an animator in 1963 at Toei animation and there met Isao Takahata (Anime Explosion, the What?Why? &Wow! of Japanese animation, Drazen, Patrick, Stone Bridge Press, Berkeley, 2003). Together, Miyazaki and Takahata with Yasuo Otsuka, made an animated feature, Prince of the Sun, Hol’s Great Adventure (hint..hint… will someone release this on DVD? Will some anime festival please show this in the United States?). Lupin III, Castle of Cagliostro was co-written and directed by Miyzaki for Toho Studios in 1979/1980. However, I think it is safe to say that this is the first Ghibli Studio full-length movie. But enough of history…

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is my favorite Miyazaki film. I am sure that other reviews will summarize the plot, so I will not discuss that in this review. Instead, I will say that as in Princess Mononoke, there are strong ecological overtones and strong female roles in this film. The Princess Nausicaa exhibits independence, intelligence, kindness, compassion, bravery and leadership. Nausicaa has a strong interest in animals, including insects, which Miyazaki apparently cites as supported in Japanese folklore from a story from the twelve century collection entitled Tsutusmi Chunagon Monogatari (Drazen, 2003). What more could one ask from a role model, let alone a female one.
The animation is superb. While perhaps a little simplistic, remember this is circa 1984, it is still very enjoyable. The attention to detail, realism and color, stand the test of time and are watchable over and over again. Miyazaki’s flying machines, as in Castle in the Sky, are a treat. Another production note is that this movie marks the arrival of composer Joe Hisaishi who contributed the film score, the first of many Ghibli movies he scored (Drazen, 2003).

There is a plot. There is a story. There is character development. Perhaps not enough plot twists. Perhaps too predictable. There is some violence. This is a story of a prophecy. This is a war story, a war between the animals (the Ohmu) and man, between men (the different nations), between loyalty to one’s own values and one’s homeland (Asbel). It is a relatively complex story, animated or not. I am only sad that, not knowing Japanese, I wonder if I am losing something in the translation and dependence on the whim of the dubbing script? (Drazen, 2003). Sometimes the film might also appear a bit preachy. However, despite these caveats, I think this film deserves status as an essential anime in any collection. I am glad that Disney has finally released this for viewing in Region 1 (the United States). At least we won’t have to depend on Quinton Tarentino to force Disney’s hand or watch an American reissue a la Shall We Dance or Point of No Return [La Femme Nikita]. Where can I get a stuffed Teto doll? My Princess Nausicaa lunchbox…er.. bento box.

我很高兴,迪斯尼已经决定释放这部电影在地区一,使我以查看它放在一个地区的1个玩家。据我所知,宫崎最初开始工作,作为一个漫画家于1963年在东映动画,并有会见了isao takahata (动画爆炸,怎么办?为什么呢? &哇的日本动画,德拉任,刘秀成,石桥记者,大学柏克莱分校, 2003年) 。两者合计,宫崎和takahata与靖大冢,作出了动画功能,王子太阳, hol的大冒险( hint. 。暗示…会有人释放这对DVD吗?将一些动画节,请查看这在美国? ) 。鲁宾三,城堡cagliostro是合作的书面和导演miyzaki为东邦工作室在一千九百八十零分之一千九百七十九。不过,我认为它是安全的说,这是第一吉卜力工作室全长度的电影。但有足够的历史…

瑙西卡的山谷风,是我最喜爱的宫崎电影。我相信其他评语将总结的阴谋,所以我不会讨论,在这个检讨。相反,我会说,作为在公主mononoke ,有强烈的生态色彩和强烈的女性角色在这部电影。公主瑙西卡展品的独立性,情报,爱心,同情心,勇气和领导。瑙西卡有浓厚的兴趣,在动物,包括昆虫,其中宫崎显然濒危物种贸易公约作为支持,在日本民间传说,从一个故事,从12世纪收集题为tsutusmi chunagon monogatari (德拉任, 2003年) 。什么更可一问,从一个榜样,更遑论一女一。
动画是一流的。同时,或许还有一点很简单,请记住,这是circa 1984年,它仍然非常愉快。注意细节,现实主义和颜色,经得起时间的考验,而且是watchable超过超过一次。宫崎县的飞行机器,在城堡的天空,是一个对待。另一个生产值得注意的是,这部电影马克的到来,乔作曲家久石让谁贡献的电影评分,第一很多吉卜力的电影,他的成绩(德拉任, 2003年) 。

有一个阴谋。有一个故事。有性格发展。也许没有足够的情节曲折。或许过于可预见的。也有一些暴力事件。这是一个故事,一个预言。这是一场战争的故事,之间的战争动物(国奥姆)和男子,男女之间(不同国家)之间的忠诚,对自己的价值观和一个人的家园( asbel ) 。这是一个较为复杂的故事,动画或没有。我只是伤心,不知道日语,我不知道如果我失去的东西在翻译和依赖于随意的配音脚本? (德拉任, 2003年) 。有时电影也可能出现了一点preachy 。然而,尽管这些变数,我觉得这部电影是值得的地位,作为一个基本动画在任何集合。我很高兴,迪斯尼已经最后被释放了这看在地区1 (美国) 。至少我们不会要视乎奎因顿泰伦提诺迫使迪士尼的手或观赏美国补发1香格里拉应我们的舞蹈,或点不归路[香格里拉妇女尼基塔] 。我可以在哪里得到填充teto娃娃?我的公主瑙西卡午餐盒…呃..便当盒。
