    OK, just as mediocre as expected. In the past two years, Ghibli has really become more and more complacent, and the box office is not bad. In the end, it will either be mediocre, or it will change greatly. Anno Hideaki and Hisaishi Jo are also...

    In addition to his work, Miyazaki's own recent remarks have put him at the center of the controversy. In a self-reported article published in Studio Ghibli's free magazine "Hot Wind", Hayao Miyazaki publicly opposed the revision of the pacifist constitution and reflected on Japan's actions in World War II, including launching a war of aggression, air raids on Pearl Harbor, comfort women, etc. historical issues. Regarding the territorial issues that are currently much disputed, Hayao Miyazaki...

    While watching the movie, I kept thinking of Sontag's "Bad Evil." The dream of building planes cannot hide that Erlang actually knows the purpose of these planes, and has been trying to comfort himself with the rhetoric of "I'm just building a perfect machine". As a party, Erlang may indeed feel that he did nothing wrong, but the director should reflect on it from a historical perspective. In addition, the use of "Magic Mountain" in the plot seems to be a misinterpretation of the original...

    Contradictions can be seen everywhere, as Miyazaki said, "This film is neither an indictment of war, nor is it intended to inspire young people in Japan by portraying the excellence of the Zero fighter, and at the same time does not want to hide it. Erlang sincerely wishes to build a civil aircraft, and only hopes to tell the story of such a person who is loyal to his dream and keeps forging ahead." Dreams are fragile and easy to wake...

    It's beautiful. It would be nice if Miyazaki Junichiro Tanizaki's "Fine Snow" was made into a...

    Mr. Hayao Miyazaki finally made a film that he really wanted to make. The film is full of movies. The male protagonist rushed to the female protagonist's house overnight and went back immediately after meeting. This kind of plot only appeared in Mr. Kinoshita's movies before. The unavoidable preaching of the old director doesn't bother me...

    I have absolutely no way of agreeing with the protagonist's values! Since he thinks that the plane is not used for fighting, why should he allow the plane he made to be used as a killing weapon? To desecrate his dreams? ! Has he never thought about this? ! And costing his wife's life? Every time I see those "beautiful" planes, I only see thousands of dead souls at their...

    With the intermittent running account, the old Gong's imagination was completely wiped out, and the narrative rhythm was a mess. The dubbing of the male protagonist is very ugly. Worst Miyazaki I've ever...

    Hayao Miyazaki was determined to be anti-war all his life, but the irrational patriotism of the anti-intellectual crowd turned anti-war movies into anti-war defeat...
