What an amazing story, with stunningly beautiful characters. What I simply loved about this film is that how a fable has been infused in a magnificent story that has very unusual…surreal ….over the top characters yet it isn’t preachy and appears to be very human like. Hats off to the imaginary world of the story and screenplay writer and director - Hayao Miyazaki. Now I know why he is known to be one of the best in his field. Another thing that I liked about the colorful characters of this film is that they aren’t one dimensional.
World is being consumed by the Sea of Decay, a toxic forest that spreads through airborne spores and is protected by giant insects called ohmu. The Valley of the Wind is one of the last pure places on earth, and its Princess, Nausicaä, is a strong-willed yet free-spirited young woman seeking to solve the mystery of the Sea of Decay. A nearby nation, which claims to have harnessed the power that allowed humans to rule the earth a thousand years before, takes over after a plane carrying a mysterious living cargo crashes in the valley. What follows in the film is a struggle, not of good versus evil, but of man versus nature.
P.S. - Please dont see the dubbed version. Its pathetic. Original version with English Subtitles is available.
