"La Planète sauvage : comment ce film de science-fiction français a révolutionné le cinéma d'animation

On sait aussi que Miyazaki a vu très tôt le film, avant sa sortie au Japon, que c’est un film qui l’a marqué. Il y a sans doute des citations de La Planète sauvage dans Nausicaä de la vallée du vent

Los Angeles is no longer part of the United States since the federal government has ceded most of its power and territory to private organizations and entrepreneurs.[8] Franchising, individual sovereignty, and private vehicles reign supreme. Mercenary armies compete for national defense contracts, while private security guards preserve the peace in sovereign gated housing developments.[9]: 45  Highway companies compete to attract drivers to their roads,[9]: 7  and all mail delivery is by hired courier.[9]: 306  The remnants of government maintain authority only in isolated compounds, where they do tedious make-work that is, by and large, irrelevant to the society around them.[9]: 176  Much of the world's territory has been carved up into sovereign enclaves known as Franchise-Organized Quasi-National Entities (FOQNEs),[9]: 14  each run by its own big business franchise"...
