In the final act of _Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind_ ,

I seem to remember Miyazaki stating that he disliked that people found
Messianic overtones in the movie.

What happened to Nausicaa at the end of the movie?


Strictly speaking, there is no way to know, as the creators have not said one
way or another. However, we're led to believe the following (excerpt from
[Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nausica%C3%A4_of_the_Valley_of_the_Wind_%28film%29#Plot)):

> The herd, however, calms down, and the Ohmus use their golden tentacles to
> heal Nausicaä's wounded body.

Based on the use of the words "heal" and "wounded", it seems she never
_actually_ died.

Additionally, there is this bit from [the Nausicaä
Wiki](http://nausicaa.wikia.com/wiki/Nausicaa_Of_The_Valley_Of_The_Wind_Wiki):

> Nausicaä was badly injured trying to save her people from an attack by the
> Omhus. She stood before the rush of angry creatures, almost costing her her
> life. The Omhus, however, revived Nausicaä and she was brought back to
> conciousness.

Unfortunately, it's not cited to any specific source, but it seems to be the
general concensus.

The original Miyazaki movie has the short sequence of the final scenes where
Nausicaa is seen back in her home town, living happy life and teaching younger
children.

Hence obviously she was not killed, just wounded, and later recovered.
