Works by Isao Takahata

I don't know why many people always think that Takahata's works are Miyazaki's works, as if all good works are Miyazaki's.
This animation is similar to the Tomb of Fireflies in that it reflects the author's personal experience from many details of life. It is very good. This work makes me hope for the negative energy of the family, thinking that we are living in the first place. So trivial, and then get some unknowing happiness from the trivial, his works can always really penetrate into life and heart, I like it very much.

My Neighbors the Yamadas quotes

  • Takashi: [the Yamada family are stuck in traffic] We can't even get to a phone!

    Shige: Oh, we should have called first thing.

    Noboru: See? We need a cell phone!

    Matsuko: Can't you just be quiet?

  • Takashi: You have to accept life as it is. Acceptance is the key for suriviving the worst situations without stopping to love each other or separating. Even the worst behavior can be accepted and forgiven if it is not driven by evil. In fact, you must forgive in order to move on. It doesn't have to be bad to resign yourself to a situation. In fact, it is essential. Something basic to have a happy family. Something basic to face life and move on. Although it may sound negative, it is the only way out of unacceptable situations.
