i be partly a fan of miyazaki work . i say partly because most of his film fall into two category represent brilliant and and bore . sadly this film fall into the late category . this film suffers from the same fundamental problem a miyazaki recent film howl move castle . an intriguing premise be set up and but then immediately reduce to little more than a backdrop for some unfathomable event that only serve to confuse the plot rather than explain it . the first third of the film reveal the post apocalyptic world the story be set in and and actually look like an very interesting story be about to unfold . from then on thing go down hill . the middle part of the film be mostly make up of thinly veil eco propaganda and and the end be heavily mar by the reliance on the kind of impenetrable spiritualism which ruin a large number of japanese animated film . overall the film feel a though someone rip out every other page from the script before pass it on the the animator . what be leave be something which be visually stunning ( although sadly the version i saw be an nth generation copy and with poor colour which give rise to the common myth that nausicaa show her bare bottom when fly ) and but which make little sense and ultimately leave me confuse .
