A captivating post appocalyptic story from around the Mad Max era. It does seem a little long, and younger kids might get restless watching, but with the utterly stunning, bedazzling visuals and sensitive character interaction it makes for a beautiful and moving animated experience like you would only expect with master Miyazaki. If that is a bit gushy fanboy sounding well ok, I can live with that... read more

Hayao Miyazaki's environmentalist streak is apparent again in this post-apocaplyptic action adventure. The young Princess Nausicaä searches for the cause of her land's suffering and teaches us a thing or two about saving our planet along the way.

A good movie

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back and since I had it on DVD, I was quite eager to check it out again. Well, even though this movie has quite an impressive reputation, to be honest, I always had a hard time to connect with the damned thing. I mean, as usual with Studio Ghibli, the animation was really neat and this story dealing with a post-apocalyptic world had a nice dark edg... read more

Description: This impressive work from acclaimed Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki represents a significant departure from traditional anime. Foregoing the gritty storylines, extreme violence, and adult content found throughout many anime, Miyazaki's works borrow as much from fairy tales as they do from science fiction. Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind is no exception. Centuries after war has devastated the earth, Princess Nausicaa leads the people of the Valley of the Wind. Feuding clans fight with planes and tanks as well as swords in a world that is both primitive and futuristic. In addition to her people's conflicts with other factions, Nau ... (more)

The film, featured the song “Kaze no Tani no Naushika (Symbolic Theme Song)” performed by Haruomi Hosono. Nausicaä of the Va"

A Masterpiece of Animated Cinema

“Director Hayao Miyazaki won a place in my heart after I saw his 2001 film Spirited Away. I'm in no position to claim to be an expert on Miyazaki (I've only seen three of his films), nor am I really a big fan of Japanese animation; but I can safely say that Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is one of the very best animated films I have ever seen. The beauty of the animation is stunning, with its close attention to detail--every frame is constructed as a work of art--and the story is enthralling. As with other Miyazaki films, the majority of characters are much more three-dimensional that you typically get in Western animated features, and nearly all of them aren't exactly what they seem to be.

Nausicaä, which is based on Miyazaki's gargantuan Manga series, is set in the distant” read more

Te recomiendo leer el manga el cual es una version mas detallada, extensa y profunda de la misma, pd: Me gustaria que hicieras analisis mas extensos sobre las cosas que te gustan
davidcartoons posted a review 11 months, 1 week ago

“Nausicaa es un mito clásico en esencia, sobre resurrecciones hacia la divinidad y actos trascendentes a la materia o al colectivo egóico. A nivel metafórico es muy importante y está muy al nivel de aquellos mitos, ahora con una narrativa más épica a lo Señor de los Anillos.

No es la obra maestra de Miyazaki, porque aun necesita pulir la complejidad de su simbolismo.” read more

"A Pesar de que sus temas NO son muy elaborados, ni complejos y su final deja mucho que desear, nausicaa sigue siendo una película con muy poderosos mensajes y muy inspiradora."
