We are all Yamada-kun

I downloaded "The Neighbor's Yamada-kun", and I saw on the Internet that it was the work of Hayao Miyazaki's studio. It was a long time ago, but I had never heard of it.

Dare to come up with such a simple animation, the parents said. The painting really couldn't be more simple, like a draft, but it was very expressive and deliberate, because it was just such a bland and "simple" family life. A family of five, like all traditional families, lived a boring, helpless, and unmarked life, so ordinary that they couldn't be more ordinary, and everyone lived in a circle. The person who paints has found a kind of courage to face life from this kind of life. Dad came back drunk and clamored for something to eat. There was only a banana and a bean paste in the house. Dad didn’t want to eat such a ghost. Mom still put the banana on the table, made him a cup of tea, and then Sitting next to her again and watching her TV, Dad finally picked up the banana and peeled it and swallowed it.

I really don't understand how people can find the courage to live from these things, but I believe that people who paint do find it.
