I Can't believe i just discover Hayao Miyazaki most great movies only in 2018, i need to say "Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi / Spirited Away" didn't get me like i wanted, and i just put this movies in the drawer, but now i finally watched some of Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli movies and every single one have this magnificent beauty that i still can't explain exactly, like the mix of reality and fantasy so deep that sometimes make me forget that i'm watching an animated movie.This one is the precursor of "Mononoke-hime / Princess Mononoke" but happens in the future, and is totally great and joyness to watch, the animation is sharp on the minimum details even for this days, for real it's is even better than a lot of animation movies from this days. The history is simple but is more and more actually with each passing day. And how they make some futuristic flying Ships is just unbelievable for a movie of 1984, also everything in the world of this movie reminds me the game Final Fantasy VI (1994), i don't know why, but make me think about. And how cool would be an actual game of this history.

Seriously, though: how did Miyazaki do it? So much originality. So much humor. So much commentary. So much action. This movie was made in 1984! While it was not my favorite Ghibli flick, it was fantastic nonetheless. Other than some awkward inner monologues at the outset, this was a post-nuclear wasteland film that really worked at both a character and symbolic level.

This is a film that has stood the test of time. It is nearly perfect. The story is one that is truly relevant, detailing the fight man faces against mother nature, and the drawbacks of the longevity of the fighting. The story is one we can all learn from, and is truly thought provoking. The score is incredible, truly fits the film and is such a pleasure to listen to. It is a beautiful film to look at and it's hard to believe that it was made in '84. This is another one in the basket for Ghibli. Truly remarkable.

In my eyes, "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" is perhaps THE animated film to see, because it has everything from exciting and fascinating visuals, ethereal music, great relevancy in its emphatic focus on environmentalism, compelling characters, and an extremely strong and very human main character. I'm not a big anime fan, yet "Nausicaa" is the big exception because of it being a fascinating and emotional story that won't get dated anytime soon.In short, I would recommend this film to anyone and everyone.
