Nausicaa:

The color palette of the opening shot effectively establishes the bucolic state of Nausicaa's home, and suggests that her people are threatened by the invasive, natural forces at work. The use of a deceptive, grinning face on the armour of the soldiers is a clever, carnivalesque depiction of their ulterior motivation for personal gain. I had mixed feeling about Nausicaa's character . The scene in which she is overpowered by rage after her father's death was the most elaborate example of her character's duality, but little is done throughout the narrative to address this problem any further. Visually the sight of her berzerker rage was a refreshing image contradicting the passive female characters seen in Conan and Castle in the Sky. The volatility she displays is interesting for a character who finds freedom in flight. Volatile is of Latin origin and means "to fly." Her volatility and passion for life, albeit eruptive, helps her to excel as a pilot and a benevolent leader.
