Nausicaa

Last night Daffodil and I ate popcorn and watched Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind together. She found it frightening and upsetting in places, but even though in daily life she’s terrified of most insects, what upset her the most was the violence against the Ohmu. The baby Ohm being towed through the air as bait to lure its enraged giant relatives to destroy the valley had her in tears.

Quote of the evening:

Movie: “It’s Lord Yupa! Kill him and you’ll be famous!”

Daffodil: “Aren’t there better ways to be famous?”
