About Hayao Miyazaki

I have been fond of Hayao Miyazaki's animations for almost seven years. In high school, there was often a large book of Hayao Miyazaki's pictures in the classroom. In this case, buying his album is also an act of supporting Studio Ghibli.
They really are like a bunch of dreamers. It was only after I started to pick up the pen to create that I realized how much effort it took to create such a dream. A good animated film requires not only careful drawing frame by frame, but also a deeper concept. This is a level that simple domestic dramas cannot reach.
Regarding "The Wind Rises", Gong said that what he wants to talk about is not destiny, but will. I once thought that as long as I persevered and worked hard, my life would have a very bright future. It now appears that this statement is wrong. Luck plays a very important role in our life. However, is it too lazy to blindly push all misfortunes to fate? Sometimes, our intentions are good, but the results backfire. Why should this be so frustrating? It is always good to have faith.
The interviewer asked, why did you marry that person? Is she that person? Gong didn't give the answers that romantic lovers wanted, he just said that we got married because I proposed to her. This is really a straightforward and responsible old man. He also said that this is the mystery of life, which cannot be penetrated. So I thought of Zhang Xiaoxian and others in China, who are always exploring love, hypocrisy, and pretentiousness. Compared to them, he really likes old people like Gong more. However, women of color are so pretentious, why should they be wrong?
Regarding the future of Studio Ghibli, Gong said, it will be disbanded one day sooner or later. This is unstoppable, so why regret it? In fact, he would still regret it. Having stayed in the studio for half his life, he has become the soul of Studio Ghibli. But isn't that what life is like? Figured it out and that's it.
The chief steward of the palace asked why Qiqi didn't say anything at the end of "The Witch's Delivery Service"? Nothing to say? All of Gong's animations have this feature. Most of his characters are taciturn, as if he doesn't have to talk so much, they already understand each other's hearts, the so-called Japanese-style "abstinence"? Sometimes I regret that the whole high school was immersed in Japanese comics, which caused me to be shy about words and focus on inner drama. Although I watched a lot of American TV dramas after college and my mind was open, there was always a palace-style little girl in my heart, who grew up by the seaside, in the forest, smiling, but kept a certain distance from human beings.
Well, this is my first movie review. In fact, I only read half of it, and I will continue to watch it tomorrow. Usually too boring and showy, and most of the inner dramas don't like to be told. Because of studying design, many people advised me to learn to share and communicate? Maybe, I always feel that people can't really communicate well, the language is too pale, and it seems artificial when speaking too much. Would it be better if we could face our hearts calmly?
It's late at night, play with colorful girls.

The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness quotes

  • Hayao Miyazaki: [Waves the camera over to him] Look over there. See that house with all the ivy on it? From that rooftop, what if you leapt onto the next rooftop, dashed over to that blue and green wall, jumped up and climbed up the pipe, ran across the roof and jumped to the next? You can, in animation. If you can walk the cable, you could see the other side. When you look from above, so many things reveal themselves to you. Maybe race along the concrete wall. Suddenly, there in your humdrum town is a magical movie. Isn't it fun to see things that way? Feels like you could go somewhere far beyond. Maybe you can.

  • 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."
