He has his own image of a Zero, how could anyone else see how beautifully it flies

This is a documentary about the making of Hayao Miyazaki's final film, "The Wind Rises."
The world is not as simple as it can be explained in words.
The world depicted by Miyazaki-san needs to be savored even more. That's why each of his works is so classic. With each viewing, you can bring different experiences and new ideas. When I was a child, I watched "City in the Sky", "My Neighbor Totoro", and "The Witch's Delivery Service". I was only envious of the heroine's life full of adventures and the magic of another world, but I didn't realize the anti-war, environmental protection, and dreams from it. theme. With the growth of age and the increase in the number of views, I gradually discovered the deep meaning of Gong Lao. But the more I know, the more I feel that the animation loses its original flavor and becomes a sermon or something else. When I was a child, I would say after watching "The Valley of the Wind": "I want to watch it again!" But now, after watching "The Wind Rises", there is only one sigh left. It's not that I'm tired of watching the Ghibli movie style, or that I'm disappointed with the characters. Just don't want to repeat the sadness I experienced while watching the movie. Just like watching A Pu's "Goodbye Firefly" with tears streaming down his face and not wanting to be abused again, it was because he knew that the skinny real world couldn't achieve the fullness of the country of fantasy, so he had to muster up the courage and no longer escape. Speaking of childhood, I really wish I could get into the TV and become a flat character in the animation. As Miyazaki-san said, children are born with infinite possibilities, and these possibilities are given up one by one. Choosing one thing means giving up another.
When you gain, you lose at the same time.
I really want to complain here, is this an equivalent exchange?
So in fact, when watching Ghibli movies, you might as well take a relaxed state of mind and don't think too much, so as to be authentic. It's like eating a bowl of curry fish balls while watching a movie, without tomato sauce, without chili sauce, without sweet and chili sauce, hoisin sauce, garlic sauce, all are equally delicious. It's just that once you get used to it, it's hard not to stop reaching for the sauce.
Now that neon animation production technology has already taken a qualitative leap, Ghibli's works are really old antiques compared to other companies. But so what? Every time a new work is released, people will snap it up at the speed of light and put up a sold out sign. Hayao Miyazaki has no script, and the existence of storyboards makes the ending more appealing; Hayao Miyazaki did not use computer graphics, but the hand-painted style is full of love; although the background is not as refined as that of PA, and the character setting is nothing special Cute attributes, girls have no big eyes, no double ponytails, no big breasts; boys have watermelon heads and wear glass bottom glasses, special skills are just dreams and courage; non-human characters don't even have lines, but so what? They're still classics, and a single silhouette is enough to make their names shout out loud. Because we don't just like the characters, plot settings, hand-painted backgrounds, or the music of Joe Hisaishi in Ghibli movies, we're obsessed with the world of dreams and fantasies created by Studio Ghibli.
No matter how many times I watch it, I still can't understand how the soup house world in Spirited Away is constructed; no matter how many times I watch it, I will still be amazed by the complexity of Howl's Moving Castle; I will still be sad for a long time because of Ponyo's departure. When I watched "The Wind Rises", I initially felt that the scenes in Jiro Horikita's dream were unscientific and unscientific. Why did he spend so much effort to describe them? Only later did I discover that it was not just a dream, but a place where dreams were shaped. As the producer Suzuki said, he (Miyazaki) has his own image of a Zero fighter, how could other people see how beautiful it flies.
Animations are fun. Ghibli animated movies are really fun.

The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness quotes

  • Narrator (Mami Sunada): After the conference, I asked what he'd written on that paper he had. He showed it to me. It was his official retirement statement. This was the first sentence: "I hope to work for ten more years."

  • Hayao Miyazaki: [Speaking of a political campaign van driving by] It was the 21st Century revealing itself. I'm a 20th Century man, I don't want to deal with the 21st.
