Every time I watch Ghibli's work, including animations and documentaries like this, it burns my brain and can't tell the line between ideal and reality. Seeing that Hayao Miyazaki was in pain, but he continued to make animations one after another, and passed the years of his life without knowing it, I always felt strongly that I was wasting my life now, doing it every day I don't agree with things, I want to take care of everything, I want to please everything. Actually, I was wasting my time. This film brought me such a moving, let me see the life in front of me clearly, this kind of moving is not pleasant, but I want to experience this real pain more than those false joys.

In this painful experience, I felt that I was alive.

Sometimes you see some good movies, and a lot of things are done well, but there are always places where the show is showing, and the resonance that comes from the truth is lost. Compared with movies, documentaries are an image that can better reflect reality. Among them, documentaries about Ghibli are even more excellent. That's because, in the place called Ghibli, sincerity fills the space as a kind of vitality. Therefore, from Ghibli's documentary, we can see the brilliance of idealism in reality. Here, you will realize that the light of life can rival the most spectacular natural scenery. Then, maybe you'll be like me, spit on how hypocritical and how reluctant your life is at the moment.

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.
