Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind DVD
Hayao Miyazaki gained widespread attention in Japan for his
complex ecological manga series, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
(1982), which he adapted for the screen two years later. One thousand
years after a war devastated much of the Earth, humanity clings to
existence at the fringes of a vast, polluted forest inhabited by
monstrous insects. Only Nausicaä, the princess of the tiny realm
of the Valley of the Wind, grasps the environmental significance
of the forest. She sees beyond petty wars and national rivalries to the
only viable future for the planet. In Nausicaä, Miyazaki began
to explore elements he would develop more fully in his later films:
daring, compassionate heroines; exciting flying sequences; colorful side
characters; strong interpersonal relationships; and a call for an
ecologically sustainable way of life. Nausicaä prefigures Sheeta
in Castle in the Sky and Chihiro in Spirited Away, just as
the rough and ready Asbel anticipates Pazu in Castle in the Sky
and Ashitaka in Princess Mononoke. For years, Nausicaä
was available in the United States only as the badly re-edited Warriors
of the Wind. The new English dub from Disney presents the film in
its entirety, with strong vocal performances by Uma Thurman, Patrick
Stewart...
