Nausicaa Valley Of The Wind Mp4 12l
Edelira Longinotti
Nausica is ranked as one of the 50 greatest science fiction films by the Database. While created before Studio Ghibli was founded, the film is often considered to be the beginning of the studio because of the involvement of Studio Ghibli's Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, Toshio Suzuki, Hideaki Anno and Joe Hisaishi. It is often included as part of the Studio's works, including the Studio Ghibli Collection DVDs and Blu-Rays.
Joe Hisaishi composed the film's musical score. The film stars the voices of Sumi Shimamoto, Goro Naya, Yoji Matsuda, Yoshiko Sakakibara and Iemasa Kayumi. Its poster's advertising slogan is, "The love of a girl called a miracle." (少女の愛が奇跡を呼んだ).
At the time of its theatrical release, it was screened on 35mm film and the audio was in mono. Its theatrical release posters were painted by famed artist Yoshiyuki Takani. The film was followed by Castle in the Sky.
One thousand years have passed since the Seven Days of Fire, an apocalyptic war which destroyed human civilization and most of the Earth's original ecosystem. Scattered human settlements survive, isolated from one another by the Sea of Decay. The Sea of Decay is a jungle of giant plants and fungi swarming with giant insects, which seem to come together only to wage war. Everything in the Sea of Decay, including the air, is lethally toxic. Lord Yupa sword master and explorer has spent a year traveling to see if there are any cities left and sadly every village he has visited has been consumed by the toxic jungles or destroyed through war and fire.
Meanwhile Nausica is the agile and cheerful young 16-year-old princess of the peaceful Valley of the Wind. Although a skillful fighter, Miyazaki's Nausica is humane and peace-loving. She has an unusual gift for communicating with the giant insects (particularly with the Ohmu, the gigantic, armored, caterpillar-like insects who are the most intelligent creatures in the Sea of Decay). She is also noted for her empathy toward animals, humans, and other beings. An intelligent girl, and inspired by the mentor figure Yupa, a wandering samurai type possessed of great wisdom, Nausica frequently explores the Sea of Decay and conducts scientific experiments in an attempt to define the true nature and origins of the toxic world in which she lives. Her explorations are facilitated by her skill at "windriding"; flying with an advanced glider-like craft with a jet assist called a mwe. Yupa is searching for the mythological man in blue who, according to the legend, will appear surrounded by a sea of gold and reunite the people and nature.
One evening, an airship (a kind of large cargo airplane) travels through the Valley, noticing it's off course Nausica tries to guide the ship, unfortunately the ship of the Tolmekians are attacked by insects. Despite her warnings the ship crashes onto the cliffs near the Valley of the Wind. Nausica tries to rescue a hand-cuffed girl of her age from the burning wreck, but she dies after telling that she is Princess Lastelle from the kingdom Pejite and that the cargo of the airship must be destroyed. The airship is from Tolmekia and the cargo turns out to be a God Warrior (kyoshinhei embryo, Giant Warrior in the English release), one of the lethal, giant, biological weapons used in the ancient war. There is also an insect in there and it calls for help so the Princess calms it down and helps it fly home, she sees that an Ohmu had heard its calls but returns to the jungle.
It is later revealed that the God Warrior embryo was unearthed by Pejite, but it was stolen by the more powerful state of Tolmekia (Tormekia in the manga). The very next day, the Tolmekians, under the leadership of princess Kushana, invade the Valley to kill the Valley and kill the king and to secure and revive the Warrior. Kushana explains that the God Warrior will be used to burn the Sea of Decay, although Obaba, an old and blind Valley woman warns that attempting so will only enrage the Ohmu and lead to more deaths. She says that 1,000 years ago many people tried to destroy the toxic jungles but they enraged the Ohmu. As a result of this the Ohmu stampeded across the land in a blind rage destroying cities and other parts of the land killing many people. Eventually the Ohmu died of starvation and their bodies became parts of the toxic jungle. If the Tolmekian's do the same, they to would lose their land and lives. At first all the people of the valley stand up after learning that the king was killed, Nasicca pleads with everyone not to fight as she cannot bear to see anyone else harmed. The Tolmekians decide to stay in the valley, mainly on the account that they now have the Giant Warrior but also, they have no ship big enough to carry it back.
"Humans polluted the trees of the Wasteland. They came to be born in order to purify this world... Taking the Earth's poisons into their bodies, they become pure crystals, and die, becoming sand. This underground cave could do the same thing. The insects are protecting those trees..."
"And if so, we can't just destroy them. How many thousands of years have we suffered? It's no use living in fear of the vapors and the insects. At the least, we need a way to keep the poison from spreading more than it has."
"You talk the same way Kushana does..."
Kushana attempts to return to Tolmekia, with Nausica and several others as hostages. Before their departure, Nausica reveals to Yupa a hidden garden of jungle plants, that are not toxic because they are growing in sand and water from a deep well. Nausica explains that the jungle is only toxic due to the toxic soil that is everywhere on the surface of the earth. She had hoped that by studying the plants she would be able to cure her father's illness but because he has died she has to stop her studies and has already shut off the water and all the plants will die, she then cries in Lord Yupa's arms. The airships with Kushana and Nausica are attacked by a Pejitan gunship and several of the ships are forced to make an emergency landing in the Sea of Decay. There, Nausica communicates with several ohmu and discovers that the pilot of the Pejitan gunship is still alive. With the help of her glider, Nausica rescues the pilot from a swarm of enraged insects. However, they crash and end up in a strange, non-toxic world that is below the Sea of Decay; the plants in the Sea of Decay purify the polluted soil, and in this way produce clean water and sand, which remains hidden in this underground world. The pilot turns out to be Asbel of Pejite, the twin brother of princess Lastelle.
In the meantime, the Tolmekians try stopping the herd with armored vehicles they brought with them but to no effect, later Kushana arrives with the God Warrior to stop the Ohmu herd, but the Warrior, woken too early, dies in the process. However, Nausica, with the baby Ohmu, is finally able to stop the Ohmu herd, but she is overrun and slain in the process. In front of the Valley people and the Tolmekian forces. The people cry at the loss of the princess, while the Ohmu's rage dies down and they use their gold-colored tentacles to revive Nausica, whose dress has turned blue by the baby Ohmu's blood; thus Nausica turns out to be the mythological "man" in blue mentioned in the beginning. The film ends with fragments of a future where people and insects live in peace with each other. The toxic jungle eventually becomes cleaner and the world is becoming normal again. The Valley itself begins to prosper and over time the land itself begins to grow again.
The story holds deeper meaning than its depiction of war; there are both environmental and ecological subtexts in Miyazaki's narrative. Even the insects seem to be working toward some secret harmony and the lethal fungal forest seems to have a vital role in Earth's new ecosystem.
In an Animage interview on the origins of Nausica, Hayao Miyazaki explains that her name is the name of a Phaeacian princess who appears in the Odyssey. He first learned of her from Bernard Evslin's book Gods, Demigods & Demons: Encyclopedia of Greek Mythology (published as part of Shakai Shisosha's Modern Educational Pocketbooks series translated by Minoru Kobayashi), and was instantly attracted to her. After he read a novelization of Homer's Wikipedia:Odyssey Odyssey, he found it lacking because, in that version, Nausica wasn't nearly as appealing as she was in Evslin's book.
Miyazaki describes Nausica as a "fleet-footed, fanciful, beautiful girl. She loves her harp and singing more than any suitor or ordinary happiness, and her extraordinary sensitivity leads her to delight in playing amid nature. When Odysseus is shipwrecked and injured, rather than being afraid of his bloodied form, Nausica treats his wounds. And it is Nausica who melts his heart with her improvised Odysseus's ship sail out of sight. According to one legend, Nausica watches Odysseus's ship sail out of sight. According to one legend, Nausica thereafter never married and spent her years wandering from court to court as the first traveling female minstrel, singing about Odysseus and his voyage of adventure."
The film and its manga counterpart were originally inspired by the 1971 underground comic Rowlf by American cartoonist Richard Corben, which is about "a princess carrying the fate of a small country." The story is set in the Medieval kingdom of Canisland, where Rowlf is devoted to his large-breasted mistress Maryara, and hostile towards her suitor, Raymon. Miyazaki proposed to Tokyo Movie Shinsha to acquire the copyright for Rowlf. In his proposal to acquire the writes to Rowlf, Miyazaki writes:
"I think that Rowlf would be an ideal for a theatrical feature film targeting the American market. It definitely is not for little children (i.e., not for a TV audience) but if handled properly it could potentially appeal to all classes of young Americans and surpass the appeal of Ralph Bakshi's Wizards. The images in Rowlf may seem unfamiliar and grotesque to Japanese audiences, but by massaging them and making them more digestible, I believe the film could also attract young Japanese audiences."[2]
