Hayao Miyazaki | What it means to be an artist

After spending the last week watching every Hayao Miyazaki documentary I could find from "The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness" to "Never-Ending Man: Hayao Miyazaki" none gave me a deeper insight into Miyazaki's creative process than "10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki" which taught me invaluable lessons on what it means to be an artist.
Every single Studio Ghibli film from My Neighbor Totoro to The Wind Rises brings something new to the table and that is all thanks to Miyazaki's innovative genius and the incredible team of animators behind him.

[@agustinbalmaceda3379]

@@sogno_di_carta6430 this comment makes sense on here due that Miyazaki often brings politic and social questions in his movies. Sometimes portraying fascists, dark side of japanese society, war, ambient contamination, etc. I think that is why studio ghibli's movies feel so human even tho they are surrounded by fantasy and aimed for children audience, because they're made up from what is happening to humanity and our world. Even if debates and arguments dont solve anything, might be unfair not allowing people to talk about politics, remaining that is what art does most of the time. And after all, nor even miyazaki's films can't change the world.

Another good reason to love Hayao Miyazaki and studio ghibli is that Hayao was against the invasion of Iraq and bombing of innocent people there. He didn't go to USA to receive his reward to show that he was against wars and against bloodshed: “The reason I wasn’t here for the Academy Award was because I didn’t want to visit a country that was bombing Iraq. At the time, my producer shut me up and did not allow me to say that, but I don’t see him around today. By the way, my producer also shared in that feeling.”

Iraq was never a threat! Iraq never had any weapons of mass destruction as they claimed and justified this invasion, Bush lied to the world, Bush is a war criminal, read this book: The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder. it is a 2008 book by Vincent Bugliosi, a former prosecutor in Los Angeles. He argues that President George W. Bush took the United States into the invasion of Iraq under false pretenses and should be tried for murder for the deaths of American soldiers in Iraq.

As someone who struggles with the fear of failure, hearing: "I never want to regret not trying something. It's better to try and fail." from him, is something I don't think I'll ever forget. It's comforting to know this master of the craft is actively looking for failure instead of avoiding it, which tells me his experience led him to believe more is gained with failing. I know good things come from this perspective, because his films never neglect to take me to worlds that feel so real, I never want them to end. Thanks so much for the video Kinda Neet, it was very insightful!

One of the things that have stuck with me was in a behind the scenes shot for the movie Spirited Away where he was trying to get his animators to animate Haku falling with Chihiro into the boiler man's room. "Have you ever seen a snake fall from a tree? It wiggles like so and then THUMP!" No one had seen such a thing and he grumbles. Then when he is trying to describe how Chihiro feeds Haku the medicine, he asks "Do any of you have dogs? Ever tried to make them eat medicine?" Again, nope from his team. So he carts them all to the vet and has the vet demonstrate how she pulls the side of the mouth of the dog back and sticks her hand to the throat, then holds it muzzle shut so it can swallow the pill. The snake analogy and feeding a toothed animal medicine translates so well and realistically into the film. It was then that I realised that great masters, from Da Vinci to Miyazaki and David Bowie, they all were on constant observation mode and took what was mundane and turned into into something extraordinary, but keeping it grounded in reality, because as I've heard said before "reality is in truth magical"

[@leftyfourguns]

My favorite Miyazaki scene is the first meeting of the dust ball creatures in Spirited Away. Giving life to such mundane inanimate things (literally dust and dirt!) is the greatest glimpse into the depth of his creativity and playfulness. I just imagine he walks around giving different personalities and stories to every object he sees

[@KindaNeet]

That's a really interesting way to look at it! I never really considered how mundane dust should be, in Miyazaki films it's as much of a character as anyone else.

[@KaraMiaSantaLucia]

Your comment reminds me of a particular scene in the movie, “American Beauty”. A paper bag floats around as though it were dancing in the wind. There is beauty in the mundane…we just need to open our minds, heart and soul to see it!

I like this quote from Catcher in the rye: “What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.” When I was a kid, both of my parents had to work most of the time. And I had to stay home alone a lot. So I watched Ghibli movies on repeat. To the point that I still remember most of the dialogues from Spirited Away, My neighbour Totoro, Kiki’ delivery service and many others. I remember wishing that Hayao Miyazaki was my friend, and that he was making all those amazing films especially for me. So that I would be less lonely. It was a childish idea. But somehow, it helped a lot.

For me the most pivotal scene Miyazaki san has created was the scene inside the house when Ponyo and the boy eat their dinner and fall asleep and the sea goddess dims the light for them.

[@KindaNeet]

Ponyo is one of my favourite of his films, that scene is adorable!

[@reach2prasanna]

@@KindaNeet Thank you for sharing my opinion. Yes, Ponyo reminds us all of a childhood we imagined, but never had. Miyazaki san juxtaposes concepts like environmental degradation, how it effects the youngest of young among us and the role of adults, how they're making it worse and how they can decide to help make things better if they put their mind to it. One more scene that stands out for me, is when Ponyo hands over the soup Lisa made to the woman on the boat with a wailing baby. So heartwarming and innocent.

The love with which he creates seeps through every character, every dialogue, every frame. You cannot create the movies he makes without deeply caring, living and respecting what you do. True integrity. A very rare quality

[@Angels-3xist]

It seems like alot of artists know the power of fueling yourself from the outside, whether that’s social or long walks in the country or through shops and back alleys or just your commute, finding something that energizes you is vital. Alot of us are lacking that. We don’t know what it is or we can’t get to it. This is why I think we often need others to take our hand and bring us to it. That’s something his movies give to people feeling at a loss. We shouldn’t just push ourselves to get to our fuel and innovation, but be brought into spaces that help us. It’s as simple as saying “come along with me”. I think every creative wants to give and receive that energy and it is the addiction of life itself that they can’t give up, because none of us can. Giving it up would mean not living at all. Artists just express the energy they take in with a different language.

[@KindaNeet]

Very well said I think this especially holds true with everything going on in the world right now, hard to find things to inspire you while trapped at home.

Hayao Miyazaki is my hero. To me, he is the embodiment of his craft and one of the subjects that keeps me going. As someone who is about to graduate with a bachelors of science in biochemistry, Miyazaki taught me to take the risk and try. I will be pursuing animation after graduation (right now working on a graphic novel) and it’s because, just like him, I believe that “if I can entertain people, perhaps I deserve to live.” Art was always my passion, but I pursued medicine for this same ideal... I wanted to help others and provide a moment of happiness through their ailments. But this idea got lost along the way, as I pushed myself in research and my study’s. When I took up a creative writing minor, and I saw how people lit up with an immersive story, I realized this again. I turned back to my childhood and Miyazaki’s movies and I saw a reflection of the world I wanted to live in. I want to do the same for the next generation ☺️

Even if I think he is pure magic and inspiration, it is heartbreaking how hard he struggles. I don't like the idea of romanticizing stress, anxiety and the impact on mental health by the media, other artists or people in general. Being an artist is not easy and hell being an animator must be really really tough, but I'm just sad how this is expected and puts even more pressure on artists to bust their asses so hard to be on the edge.

[@KindaNeet]

I agree with what you're saying but in his case I don't think it really comes from the media or other artists, it seems like the pressure is all from himself. Which still isn't great but I think it's just a side effect of his savant level genius, him being so hard on himself is what's pushed him to be the best animator in history. As unfortunate as it is I don't think you can have one without the other.

Thank you so much for putting your time and efforts into this, because it clearly came from a place of passion and respect. Miyazaki is such an interesting character that making a video about him in general isn't hard, but to make one as powerful and well crafted as this video was, that takes some beautiful craftsmanship, not unlike his own. Genuinely, this is the first time a video has made me cry in a very long time, but you told his story in such a relatable and beautiful way. I'm an artist myself, so I can understand a lot of the struggles he faces, but like many, I would never have imagined someone as skillful as him going through those periods of self doubt that many creative types do. I guess it makes sense, and just shows that we are all human at the end of the day. Again, absolutely amazing video and storytelling.

I’m glad you got something out of it!

[@nadirabadri6731]

@@KindaNeet I wish I could say more, but to know that Miyazaki-san went through similar struggles. I think I'm ready to try again myself.

[@joadarium9605]

As an aspiring artist myself, this truly hits and I look to Mr. Miyazaki as a more of an inspiration then ever. Godspeed this man and thank him for making such wonderful stories enjoyed throughout the world to this day.

I don't know why I want to cry, this man is a legend

Lol this made my eyes watery I've loved his films since I was a child and 2 days ago I watched howls moving castle for the first time with my girlfriend who said its her favorite movie since she first watched it as a kid. I honestly thought there were some plot holes and I couldn't understand it all but looking back on it and reanalyzing the movie I came to appreciate it. Miyazaki has touched so many people in so many different ways that he and his work have become a staple in the childhood of millions of people from different backgrounds. This video made me shed some tears at the end, I believe it was due to the profoundness of his words and the way he chooses to view life. He's truly a huge inspiration and hopefully I can achieve to view the world in the same lens as him. Each time I watch his work it brings me a little closer

[@giupemskie]

this is a masterpiece. I love this documentary. clear, precise, and inspiring. I'll be watching this over and over again so that i'll remember what it means to be an artist. It's like a book on video. thank you.

[@KindaNeet]

Thank you so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed!

[@Visual_Writer]

I‘ve started to go outside whenever possible to collect small experiences. That has enriched my art.

[@TheGamingPolitician]

I would give anything to have a lengthy conversation with Mr. Miyazaki

[@corani1996]

Great artist! I always celebrate his work everytime I see his film, again and again

[@KindaNeet]

He’s a true legend!

[@argeancomics3291]

So difficult to chose an specific scene. For me, struggling to become a good artist, every single scene reveals the love for art. I really love Spirited Away history and that fantastic world. Love to stop some passages and analise all the details and colors. Inspiring. Quite an experience.

[@HerArtnThoughts]

I think the first movie I watched of Miyazaki was Sprited away. It came on TV when I was a kid and I immediately fell in love with the art of Studio Ghibli.

[@KindaNeet]

Oh wow that’s lucky! I didn’t discover his work until later in life.

[@HerArtnThoughts]

@@KindaNeet Throughout the years I discovered his other films but I still haven't watched all of them. I'm looking forward for watching them in the right moments now that I'm an adult. Thank you for your video and response 🌿

thanks for cluing me into this documentary. watching him work on ponyo is pretty meaningful to me. seeing that movie in theatres on the week of its release was an artistic revelation. never before had i seen such clear joy and freedom articulated through the hands of a master.

[@KindaNeet]

I'm so jealous, I never got the chance to see Ponyo in theatres. Definitely check out the full documentary, it's a fascinating watch!
