Rose Faerie's Review Violence: There is some fighting. A few characters die on screen. There is some blood. Sex and Nudity: The only reason I gave it a 2 was a single line where a female soldier with a prosthetic arm says whoever marries her will see a lot worse. Most kids won't pick up on the intent of the line anyways. Theological Themes: There is a legend that features a messianic figure who will save them all from the wasteland. Problematic Themes: None. Overall: I really liked this movie. The art was gorgeous, especially the backgrounds. Nausicaa felt like a traditional virtuous hero, who could serve as a role model for young children. The story itself felt like a hero's journey, though it didn't feel cliche at all. I definitely want to read the manga now, which continues the story. I recommend this one for older children and up. It's very lovely, as to be expected from Studio Ghibli. |
