[@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.”

@@ercanpeker not justified, not justified at all, they invaded Iraq, killed 100,000+ civilians, bombed homes and schools and mosques free of any militants, caused so much PTSD to their soldiers and then it turned out there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, you know what that means?!?! 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!

[@KindaNeet]

[@kritika1413]

" the master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried "

[@kellyramirez7465]

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!

[@enrovi]

"I never want to regret not trying." I didn't expect this line to hit me so hard. Couldn't help but get teary-eyed. I feel so blessed to have been alive on this Earth at the same time that a legend such as Hayao Miyazaki is.

[@KindaNeet]

He will definitely go down in history as one of the greatest artists of all time. Such a legend.

[@skywalker__193]

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.

throughout my life, Miyazaki really changed my way of perspective in life. I see him as my idol, i’ve been looking up to him for years, ever since i watched my first studio ghibli film at 8 years old. when i grow up, i wanna continue trying to make the stories that i draw and write happen. I won’t ever give up. My sole dream is to make it happen, and to meet Miyazaki for barely a second, even just a word and ill be thrilled.

Everything Miyazaki makes is beautiful, visually, emotionally, and is so full of wisdom. After watching his films, I always walk away feeling a little more complete and hopeful.

[@KindaNeet]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@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.

[@ButterflyHeartFly]

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 ☺️

This was....honestly one of the most beautiful and brilliant videos I have ever watched. 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. You deserve a serious round of applause for this, and thank you again for making it a reality.

[@KindaNeet]

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.

Being rejected is painful, but also necessary, and I believe, it'll also make the artist stronger. Pain goes hand in hand with story-telling.

7:35 😭✊ ngl i feel emotionally attached to totoro and the whole movie

[@ayviondenar3461]

I almost teared up at his speech after the 2011 earthquake hit. A man like Miyazaki himself is lightning-in-a-bottle. Watching this video reinvigorated my interest to pursue art in my career.

Disney makes movies larger than life while Ghibli's films shows simplicity of life....I feel very calm everytime I see Studio Ghibli film

[@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.

Beautiful man ✨! I am so grateful that he exists. His animations resonate with me like no other.🙏✨💚

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

[@Theyarefulloffear]

Something about this video made me bawl my eyes out. Maybe it's relieving the creative pressure I'm putting on myself or Miyazaki's overall energy, but I haven't been this inspired to create in a long time.

[@KindaNeet]

I’m really glad you liked it, good luck with your art!

[@KindaNeet]

What are your favorite Miyazaki scenes and why?

[@antonb5504]

From my neighboor totoro it’s definitely the bus scene, aswell as when mei discovers totoro. The bittersweet end scene in the wind rises is also brilliant, so much emotion. I really find that movie underrated, definitely one of my favourite. I also really love the scene in Spirited away where the family discovers and search through the ”abandoned amusement park”. I can relate to many of those emotions found there. A lot more amazing scenes, but I haven’t watched all the movies yet. Great video!

[@KindaNeet]

I agree, the end of The Wind Rises is full of so many different emotions, definitely his most underrated film.

@@dummybear6772 It's a shame more people don't talk about When Marnie was There, looks like I know what I'm rewatching this weekend.

@@dummybear6772 the soundtrack is amazing! Fine on the Outside is 👌🏻

when saitama unleashes his serious sideway jumps to defeat sonic, that was insane

4:47 Doubt limits your action and your confidence. However, it has nothing to do with ego as I find my ego endures everything. I don't know if it's good or bad. Just the fact that I have to doubt myself even when sending email is really the fruit of perfectionism. Like why the hell do I want to make everything perfect, like who cares? Just do it. Silence! Press that button without checking. Who cares if you make mistake? Let this mistake heal you. That's how I spend everyday. Really, it's tough.

[@nadirabadri6731]

Thank you...I needed to hear this. I've been in a slump for the past 5 years. I thank you so much for sharing this. Miyazaki-san will always be an inspiration to me.

[@KindaNeet]

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.

Very well made. Been a Miyazaki fan for about 20 years now - he simply is the best.

Thanks! He really is the best

I am definetely an INFP(I was really denial for two years,i thought I was INTJ,INTP,bcs of my 16p and other online test results,but then I learned Cognitive Functions,did the test again,and got INFP),I was being denial because I used to think that INFPs are useless,robotic,and a slow creature.It made me copying others MBTI type ways to live my life.To my surprise,I got restrained easily,it only worked for 1-2 days,but after that,I feel lost again.These days,I'm trying to accept myself,and Hayao is one of my inspirations to do my best,and explore my INFP abilities.

Miyazaki-san's so humble...he really deserves an Oscar, Bafta, Golden Lion, etc...😢...and yeah, Shinkai-san's right up there as well 🙏🏼
