Profile of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

The mood of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is stylized, exciting, and atmospheric. The plot centers around technology gone awry, an apocalypse, and androids and robots. It is a foreign, animation, and sci-fi movie. Stylistically, it anime, is futuristic, and is epic. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. It takes place, at least partly, in a jungle. It happens in the middle ages and in the 1980s. The movie is known for being an award winner. It is especially suggested for a family outing. Note that it includes mild violent content.

Summary of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

Hayao Miyazaki's epic, environmentally conscious anime, takes viewers on a voyage through time and space to the magical and dreamlike Valley of the Wind, where good battles evil for the future of the human race. Faced with almost certain destruction of her planet's natural resources, the warrior Princess Nausicaa must rally her people against an evil queen's brutal army to bring a new life to her homeland. Reminiscent of works by J.R.R. Tolkien, this story of responsibility, coming of age, peace, and redemption has proven to be one of the legendary Miyazaki's most enduring works. As opposed to the earlier release of this film, titled WARRIORS OF THE WIND, this release stays true to Miyazaki's original work.
