In Japanese he actually said literallly that "i'm becoming a human being who doesn't watch Tv or Movies" which means that he doesn't watch movies anymore. I think he probably was very fascinated by both animated and live action movies but nowadays he is probably not receiving the same stimulations he received in the past...or maybe he just feels too old to watch new things

[@melonlord1414]

It fits his style, you can tell, that he isn't influenced by other media as much. Since most of his movies tackle mostly topics that are more timeless it may help him to take an outside perspective. I don't think he would have been able to direct movies like Your Name or a Silent Voice, because they address modern (Japanese) culture. Just like Makoto Shinkai probably wouldn't have been able to direct something like Spirited Away. That's the beauty about art, great things can be created by almost opposite approaches.

[@kasumi2173]

I don't really know to be honest... First he criticizes contemporary animators and artists cause they don't look at the real world to understand how animations work or how "x" looks like...then he admits he doesn't look at other people's movies / animated movies which doesn't seem to be such a great move as an artist and animator and feels a little bit hypocritical .

[@roccoanthony8930]

The Pescavelho Channel no they aren’t...lol. They just have overwhelming fire power compared to other nations, to the point where it is harder to “not lose” with that capability. USA, Russia, China are arguably three of the most overrated countries in terms of war records. USA and China basically lost to Vietnam, while Russia lost to Afghanistan. The time has changed where Super powers can go full out and destroy one country, since it will hinder the economy of their country (and make other surrounding nations rich in contrast). That being said, Japan was awful at war, and so was Germany. They both took advantage of new technology to go berserk against old tech nations...when the US came, both countries were exposed. There are very few countries that are actually “good” at war. Vietnam was one of them. They fought against IJA, De Gaulle’s France, Cold War USA, Mao Zedong’s China, and won all of them (yes, they did. None of the countries above succeeded in achieving their goals, and went home packing). That is VERY impressive.

@Ernesto 。 Japan is bad at war in the sense Miyazaki is most likely referring to the leadership, Japan historically has always had pretty awful generals and people in charge, the Bushido thinking got in the way in WW2 and Japan ended up committing so many mistakes it would cost her independence, the avg Japanese soldier however fought very well in fact the Japanese soldier was better trained than the American soldier and Japanese had a lot of well trained and experienced pilots and naval crews. But Japan fought a bad war, made terrible mistakes and lost not only in China, but also in the pacific. Only the biggest fool would start a war when you have no OIL to fuel your navy to fight the biggest naval forces in the world.

[@StudioKonKon]

So if what @Edward says is right "they recommend stuff that you are most likely to view based on your behaviour" & "not spying", then, how was it a friend of mine was talking to me about something I've never heard, search or seen before. I had no interests in the topic which was neither popular or recent, or anything relating to me, just something random. I decided to look it up on Google... Only got to type the first letter and there it was, a few results based on the first letter of what we were talking about. What's the chances that's a coincidence.

[@StudioKonKon]

@Edward I do know how search engines work, considering I have volunteered programming one in the past. Yes a "search result" (live result as you pause typing [I was thinking how to spell it]) and for "its usually the popular topics" that's why I said it's not popular or recent. It was something that happened locally over 50 years ago and was only 2 articles existing for it, one of which no longer exists (404) and the other written by the local newspaper around 15 years ago and only has 1 paragraph briefly mentioning it, everything else was completely different and unrelated (but this, I searched, was last year sometime). I've tried it now and it doesn't appear. I can't remember how to spell that word and Google is not finding it by its misspelling either. It's using the same account. I had my phone in front of me at the time and it was connected to mobile data (internet). My PC however, which doesn't have a microphone, uses a different account yet almost never suggests or recommends the right things I'm looking for.

Nah, everyone has a different approach. It makes sense to watch movies critically if you want to make them. The reason why it works for Miyazaki is, because the topics of his movies are very timeless and he basically defined what a good animated movie looks like. He looks at the world and tries to capture it in film. So the right way to learn from hom is probably to not only watch movies, but to watch the real world as well. To see how people interact in reality and to critically see, if modern movies portray this realistically.

ここのラテンアメリカには、「我々」を使うことは常に誇りの表現として受け取られます。例えばもし僕の一番好きなチームは試合が勝ったらことなど、「*僕ら*が勝った！」というのは最も普通なことです。試合に出たか出なかったことか、絶対関係ない。Yeah, absolutely riddiculous. Also in Spanish it can be easily detected that you insist in your pride, since every verb is conjugated. Don't want to get into that, but I have as a fact that's how most Americans talk about war.

@@almerylc128 Pues no sé realmente como funcione pero igualmente cuando nos referimos a una guerra que ganamos a perdimos lo hacemos como nosotros A menos que nos avergonzemos de ello Pero es estúpido hacer eso

[@almerylc128]

@@leoverejustamente el factor verguenza compite contra el nacionalismo en esas cosas. Los estadounidenses poco y nada quieren hablar de vietnam y se la pasan transmitiendo por history channel hitler y el desembarco de normandía. Argentina por ejemplo conmemora cada año el día de la invasión a las Islas recordando que se perdió una guerra que pudo haberse evitado. En japón la cosa tendrá otro tinte, como en alemania, donde se tuvo que empezar creando una nueva historia desde la caida de los nazis. Mas que nada por el pacto tokyo-berlín-roma y por el desgaste que la guerra le ocasionó. Esta generacion no tiene la culpa de las desfachatadas de las generaciones anteriores y creo que a eso apuntaba el comentario de serena

@@almerylc128 Es cierto nada más claro que el caso de EU en la segunda guerra mundial En la conmemoración del día de la victoria el Twitter de la casa blanca dijeron que celebraban la victoria de Estados Unidos y Inglaterra Si mencionar en lo más mínimo a la URSS Igualmente en todas las películas que quieren hacer parecer que EU fue el principal que contribuyó a la derrota de Alemania También dándose gloria por el día D cuando eso ocurrió hasta 1944 cuando la guerra ya estaba prácticamente ganada la victoria sovietica era inevitable El el caso de Japón lograron conservar el principal símbolo de Japón que es el emperador Aunque sin ningún poder real ni siquiera como jefe de estado

[@Vicente480]

Exactly! patriotism is not a damn virtue

[@kn2549]

I wouldnt say that Japan is bad at war. Besides losing ww2, they were able to beat Qing China and Russia that were far more bigger than Japan.

[@HDZ274]

I think he more meant that japan does terrible things when they wage war. Miyazaki is very vocal about japan publicly apologizing for war crime.

[@CDang-ms6dc]

That problem is once those Meiji oligarchs died out, Japan lost real leadership.

[@Balthazar2242]

I'm surprised he agreed to answer these questions.

I see, you're the real high man of culture

[@KAHHHH8548]

Quite an amazing man. Does he resonate with me.....

[@tylercuddletail]

I love Hayao Miyazaki, he's a good animated and a good man. I bet Miyazaki hates Trump for his pollution of the environment and his prejudice.

[@WalterLiddy]

I don't know where the interviewer gets the idea that peace is decreasing. There's far less war globally now than in the past. We're becoming increasingly a well-fed, peaceful world.

[@00range]

Just some pseudo-intellectual babble, like "we're all in this together" or "orange man bad".

[@tsduali7516]

if there is a nation that won't make same mistake twice it have to be people of Yamato i have to hope ...

[@emelh4806]

I love this man❤️

I thought he was a politician until i saw the comments lol

[@Agustin-rv1mg]

you should watch he's movies

The guy who made dark souls is this old?

Miyazaki election team gon be lit,

[@Zefo_No]

Hayao Miyazaki on Your Name: I didn't watch it.

[@zacharykim295]

Well look at that, hes a reasonable person

[@RoboJules]

Oh hey, it's Shinji's father.

[@harrypotteryescaillouno45]

I agree with him.

[@myczxr]

the wisdom of the old...

[@ericah6184]

Part of me wants to hear his opinion towards Makoto Shinkai’s animation

[@aristotle3849]

I desperately want his opinion on Your Name, it’s the best non-Ghibli animated film I’ve ever seen but I’m curious how he would feel about it

[@UndertakerU2ber]

I wouldn’t mind listening to his opinions. He seems like the kind of guy that always comes to his own conclusion after doing personal research and isn’t just going to bow down to some politician due to their party affiliation.

[@Waldemarvonanhalt]

To understand labour outsourcing more and how people come to tolerate it, find out what Michel Foucault's "pact with the devil" (his own words) was.

[@DoctorEdgarMcQuack]

I wonder what his thoughts on the world today

[@willmuttdougar]

Miyazaki's my god!!!!!!!

[@isabelarescala4655]

I think Miyazaki would like watching Your Name... But maybe he is kinda resentful about It xD

[@Varies16]

I think he will hate it.
