Kaze no Tani no Naushika
(Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind)
Screenplay, Storyboards, Direction: Hayao Miyazaki
| It has been a millennium since a global war
known as the "Seven Days of Fire"
destroyed human civilization. Only a tiny
remnant of humanity survives, huddled in
small enclaves across the continents. The
Fukai, a thick jungle whose spores and plantlife
are poisonous to humans, covers much of the
Earth's surface. Feeding on the pollutants of the former human civilization, the Fukai continues to expand, enveloping the outposts of mankind and consuming them. Giant mutated insects are now the dominant form of life, living both in and above the Fukai. Of these, the Ohmu reign supreme - seventy-meter long pillbug-shaped guardians of the Fukai. One of these islands of humanity is known
as the Valley of the Wind. Protected from
the spores by strong winds from the sea,
these winds also power a forest of windmills
to perform work and pump water from underground
wells. Nonetheless, the inhabitants of the
Valley must still be vigilant to ensure that
the fungi do not gain a foothold amongst
their crops and water supply.... |
