I find it very reasonable to face the fork in life from time to time.
After reading this sentence, I finally got some free time for a month, so I looked for it. Sure enough, I was not disappointed. There are many emotions in the film, and there are many clips worth recording.
This "review" is interspersed with some impressive excerpts and reflections from the documentary.
Hayao Miyazaki: "I have no script to be honest, I do not know what this last would become a movie (windy).."
"Like a movie through your own creation"?
Hayao Miyazaki: "The ... Otherwise we'd be in trouble. It may sound ridiculous. My employees have told me they don't understand my film, the world of my work. When I was working on Spirited Away, I didn't understand either. In my eyes, maybe we will never understand."
Hayao Miyazaki: "How much do we know about the world? When we were affiliated with Tokuma Bookstore, it was not a problem that we didn't know enough about the company. So why? To understand these films. The world is not as simple as words can explain. Can you feel my pent up anger?… Woman asks, how can a man understand how a woman feels? Those subtle changes… For me Very transparent."
(talking about the theme of "The Wind Rises")
Hayao Miyazaki: "Those who design aircraft and machinery, no matter how good their intentions may be, the wind of the times will transform it into a tool for mechanical civilization, never without It's all cursed dreams, even animation."
"Cursed dreams?"
Miyazaki: "In today's world, all human dreams are cursed."
In order to fight the war, I wanted to draw the Zero plane. A little ordinary, but it does feel very handsome. Animators face the same dilemma.
Hayao Miyazaki is very contradictory to the protagonist Erlang in "The Wind Rises", and he is also very contradictory to his father. When I was young, I thought that my father, as an aircraft parts manufacturer, was a person who fueled the war. When I was older (70+), I received a letter from someone else, talking about Hayao Miyazaki's father when he was 28 years old. A stranger who had a house burned down was sitting in the entrance of his house rest. When my father saw it, he didn't say, "What are you doing there!" Instead, he came into the house to give them chocolates, which were rare during the war. He felt very good, and even felt that it affected the values of the writers. I think so too, otherwise how can it be fresh in memory? I can especially understand Miyazaki's thoughts on this matter, and it is also a question of political correctness and moral correctness that I have struggled with for a long time.
"The Wind Rises" I was particularly impressed by the scene where the hero Erlang buys Siberian cakes for those hungry children. The children ran away instead of accepting it, making Erlang very uncomfortable. His partner said, "The amount of bracket accessories is enough for the family to live for a month. The money for introducing technology is enough for all Japanese children to enjoy tempura bowls and Siberian cakes every day, and there are still leftovers. Even so, I don't want to waste this time. Opportunity. It is because poor countries need planes that we have the opportunity to make planes. What a contradiction. I will go back to Tokyo tomorrow; to get married. In order to be able to work seriously, I decided to start a family and start a business, which is also a contradiction."
104 minutes, Miyazaki When Shun talked about his friendship with Takahata at his desk, there was Kazuyoshi Hanto's new book "History of the Sun-dew War" (the war between Japan and Russia 1904-05) in the first and second volumes. At the beginning of the 20th century, if only from the perspective of China, this war heralded the arrogant militarism of Japan behind it. But from the perspective of the world, such as India, then Japan is the first power in East Asia to defeat the European power. Like Hayao Miyazaki, I also want to understand the mentality of ordinary Japanese during the war, and I especially want to read "Youth H" by Kappa.
I had a very long discussion about "The Wind Rises" with my friends on WeChat before. It's amazing that some people actually regard the story "The Wind Rises" as a simple love story. After watching the documentary, I realized that Hayao Miyazaki intentionally told the story ambiguous. At the same time, I also understood that NHK's restrictions on certain historical subjects also affected the stories that Japanese artists can tell in the future.
For the seiyuu of the hero Jiro in "The Wind Rises" to choose the famous non-seiyuu Hideaki Anno, I will not know without watching the documentary. His voice acting is really special and different from all the animations I've seen. When I read it, I really felt a kind of elegant intellectual feeling.
(At the end of "The Wind Rises", Erlang reunites with his deceased wife in hallucinations. She whispers softly: Come, come.)
Miyazaki: "Erlang can understand, so he nods like that. Is it the will or the flesh that is trending the animation? To express fate, but to express will, even if fate exists."
Later, the line of the deceased wife was changed to live, not "come", which also reflected the psychological changes in Hayao Miyazaki's production process. ——
(Eva creator who was once depressed) Anno Hideaki: "(Miyazaki Hayao) almost let Erlang die, but I'm glad he finally let him live. ... At least Erlang survived alone, which is also good ."
"Also added the 'to live' dialogue."
"It's a heavy thing to be asked like that. So I'm going to do my best."
(laughs)
"That's what it's all about."
Use stopwatch and feel to decide each The timing of the shots is so beautiful. .
"(Miyazaki) knows how to turn other people's energy into his own."
"Mr. Takahata."
...
"For Miyazaki, employees are his clogs."
"I 'm trying to meet Mr. Miyazaki's requirements. Sometimes, some people get bored. As a result, from time to time, they feel lethargic and defeated. It's hard to work with someone like him. Great people run away from here. The more powerful you are, the more you will be asked A lot. It seems frivolous to say so many of these things. People who want to protect themselves should stay away from themselves. If you're willing to sacrifice yourself for something to gain, or you'd really like to work with him, then it makes sense. But if you have something of your own Protect, it will be hard for you to be around him for a long time." One of the employees
(sounds like an investment bank; a banker friend agrees)
Hayao Miyazaki: "Normally I never think about whether I'm happy or not. Isn't it? It's completely unimaginable that a person can live for such a purpose. Because making a movie will definitely make people unhappy."
Every moment is very Reality, sincere and intimate, even business negotiation and tactics, and having too many distractions to the studio and expecting it to blow Miyazaki also come as you are / No cover.
