Nausicaa Viewing 2

The second time we watched Nausicaa there were some themes that stood out to me compared to the first time.

The theme of color. Nauciscaa wears blue, but has red earrings. The other princess, Lastelle wears a red dress and has blue earrings. This is a mirror type effect which would lead the viewer to believe that these two young women are similar. Also the red/blue theme relates to the Ohmu as well. Red being when they are enraged and blue for when they are passive or friendly.

Another reoccurring theme was the music. The music is normally a sort of techno, electronic sounding, except when the Ohmu are on screen or it is a flashback. The music then has a strummed instrument that sounds somewhat traditional.
