1.Main point:
Nausicaa is courageous woman who is Princess of the Valley of the Wind. There is toxic jangle that is spreading across the Earth near valley of the Wind. When people inhale the contaminated air in toxic jungle, they will die after 5minutes. The Nausicaa’s father is also one of patients who were infected by toxic jungle. The powerful insects called “Ohmu” live in poisonous jungle, and guard there.
One Kingdom, “Tormekia, plan to destroy the toxic jangle and Ohmu so that people can live without fear of death and disease. “Pejite” is one of Kingdom find out the powerfully huge monster. “Tormekia” which knew that attack Pejite, and ripped out the monster. Tormekia try to revive the powerfully huge monster to fight Ohmu. Pejite try to make Ohmu angry because they hope angry Ohmu attack to Tormekia and powerful monster.
Therefore, Pejite bring Ohmu’s child that were hurt by them to Valley of the Wind where Tormekia occupy and possess the powerful monster. Nausicaa knows what will happen so she try to quit Ohmu’s attacking. She tries to help Ohmu’s child so that the Ohmu’s attacking will stop. She wants to coexist with Ohmu. Eventually, she helps Ohmu’s child, stop Ohmu’s attacking, and save people who stay at Valley of the Wind. Her brave behavior can help people and save Ohmu and jungle.

2. Interesting point:
I love this movie. This movie is one of my favorite movies. Nausicaa was written by Hayao Miyazaki who is very famous writer and director in Japan.
Human is so selfish, so people can destroy everything for saving themselves. I think human probably create toxic jungle. Although they make it, they try to destroy forest for they can survive. How selfish…! We must think about the Earth and us again.
I like Nausicaa. When I was child, I want to be like her. She is very brave and kind, and has responsibility. Also, she is depended by many people. She has a good thought that people should coexist with every life and nature. I hope so.
