From the documentary "Princess Goldfish on the Cliff", I began to get to know Goro Miyazaki, the eldest son of Miyagi. I saw the clip of "Earth Sea", and I didn't like it very much. At that time, I thought he was a character who couldn't help like Adou. I accidentally saw the documentary of "Puffy Poppy", and I discovered his seriousness, his persistence, and most importantly, his deep-rooted love for animation. In order to convince his father to agree to be a producer, he painted a picture and showed it to his father. I think in his mind, his father is not a great and terrifying existence like the dragon in the painting, but he still opened his eyes without turning back. I raised my hands, this resolute attitude really touched me, and this attitude should be the reason why Gong Dashen finally softened. After watching the documentary, I believe that it is impossible for a person who is so devoted to animation to not make progress in three years, so I watched "Puffy Poppy" with a small expectation.
I found that Toshio Suzuki's remarks were just right to put it the other way around. Goro, like the Japanese I knew, was rigorous, well-behaved, and unimaginative. The most important thing is that he still lacks the ability to get into the hearts of the characters in the play, so he can't draw the kind of characters that his father wrote. The kind of people who are so full of personality that they want to jump out of the screen will be unforgettable for a long time. And Wulang's protagonist will inadvertently give people the feeling of a little puppet. Even if the scene of crossing the bridge that my father personally directed, actually appeared on the screen was not as vivid as the original manuscript of my father. It is said that genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. Wulang's example fully demonstrates that 1% is much more important than 99%, to the point of being irreparable even if the teeth are grinding.
For the Japanese animation industry, Hayao Miyazaki is a god. And Miyazaki Goro is a mortal who staggers in the shadow of this great god, trying to keep up with his footsteps. As a mortal, I will pay attention to this buddy who is working hard for his dream, and I will see how far he can go. At the same time, I also realized that Hayao Miyazaki and the good times he brought us are going to fade away after all.
In fact, Wu Lang said it quite well: don't die and show me! !
