English Summary:
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (Japanese: 風の谷のナウシカ, Hepburn: Kaze no Tani no Naushika) is a 1984 Japanese animated epic[3] science fantasy adventure film adapted and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, based on his 1982 manga of the same name. It was animated by Topcraft for Tokuma Shoten and Hakuhodo, and distributed by the Toei Company. Joe Hisaishi, in his first collaboration with Miyazaki, composed the film's score. The film stars the voices of Sumi Shimamoto, Goro Naya, Yoji Matsuda, Yoshiko Sakakibara and Iemasa Kayumi.[4] Taking place in a future post-apocalyptic world, the film tells the story of Nausicaä (Shimamoto), the young princess of the Valley of the Wind. She becomes embroiled in a struggle with Tolmekia, a kingdom that tries to use an ancient weapon to eradicate a jungle of mutant giant insects.
One thousand years have passed since the Seven Days of Fire, an apocalyptic war that destroyed civilization and created the vast Toxic Jungle,[a] a poisonous forest swarming with giant mutant insects. In the kingdom of the Valley of the Wind, a prophecy predicts a saviour "clothed in blue robe, descending onto a golden field". Nausicaä, the princess of the Valley of the Wind, explores the jungle and communicates with its creatures, including the gigantic, trilobite-like armored Ohm.[b] She hopes to understand the jungle and find a way for it and humans to co-exist.
Late in the night, a massive cargo aircraft from the kingdom of Tolmekia crashes in the Valley despite Nausicaä's attempt to save it. Its sole survivor, Princess Lastelle of Pejite, pleads with Nausicaä to destroy the cargo and dies. The cargo is an embryo of a Giant Warrior, one of the lethal, gargantuan humanoid bioweapons that caused the Seven Days of Fire. Tolmekia, a military state, seized the embryo and Lastelle from Pejite, but their plane was attacked by insects and crashed. One of the insects emerges wounded from the wreckage and poises to attack, but Nausicaä uses a bullroarer to calm it and guides it away from the village.
Japanese Summary:
千年前の「火の七日間」と呼ばれる最終戦争により、巨大産業文明は崩壊し、錆とセラミック片におおわれた荒れた大地に「腐海(ふかい)」と呼ばれる有毒の瘴気を発する菌類の森に世界は覆われていた。人類は生き残るが衰退し、腐海が放つ猛毒と、そこに棲む巨大な虫たちに脅かされていたが、辺境にある「風の谷」は、酸の海から吹く風によって森の毒から守られ、のどかな農耕生活を送っていた。族長の娘であるナウシカは、住民から深く敬愛されており、人々から恐れられている腐海の虫とも心を通わせる優しい少女である。
ある夜、大国トルメキアの輸送機が風の谷に墜落する。輸送機には、千年前に世界を焼き尽くしたという巨大人型兵器の「巨神兵(きょしんへい)」の胚が積まれていた。トルメキア軍は撃墜されたと案じ、風の谷に向けて侵攻するが、ユパの説得により和解する。しかしその成り行きで、風の谷の長を殺害してしまうのだった。司令官である皇女クシャナは、巨神兵で腐海を焼き払うことを目論んでいた。クシャナは、本国へ運ぶつもりだった巨神兵の輸送を諦め、未完成の巨神兵を風の谷で完成させることにする。
失意から捕虜となったナウシカらはトルメキアに護送される途中、突然現れた戦闘機の攻撃により大きな損害を受ける。護衛機がその戦闘機を撃墜するものの、ナウシカが乗る輸送機も被弾し落下する。ナウシカは、クシャナとともに輸送機から脱出するが、腐海に不時着したナウシカらは、敵の戦闘機に乗っていた少年が虫に襲われていることに気づき、少年を助ける。
Hungarian Summary:
Ezer évvel az után, hogy a Hétnapos Tűz megsemmisítette szinte az egész bolygó emberi lakosságát, a Földnek csak kis részén maradtak túlélők. A rettegett erdő, Átokfölde elborított szinte mindent, gyilkos óriásrovarok nyüzsögnek benne, s gigantikus fái halálos méregspórákat termelnek. Az emberlakta terület zsugorodik, s a megmaradt városok öldöklő háborúkat vívnak. A Szél Völgyében, melynek hercegnője a fiatal és talpraesett Nauszika, még béke uralkodik...
