That's how I work when I start writing something or drawing something or even write an essay if I had the choice of no rough draft i would make things up that came to mind I take pictures of things for later drawings and I stare out windows and think. And I just now realized all of this while watching this video and reading comments
It brings me peace to know that the method I felt most comfortable using when I was young is valid, and it brings me more peace and satisfaction that I've been proved that I can make things the way I allow my brain to flow, which is just more different than others I've seen around me.
Even his staff worries/wonders at how his stories will develop as they watch him sketch away. it’s a relief to discover that intuitive artists like him still exist.
Whenever my life gets too stressful i have trouble sleeping. Then i put on Miyazaki and it lightens my soul, Miyazaki isn't just a movie maker, he's a healer, his work will be loved for so many generations.
This is very true. Combine that with the amazing music by Joe Hisaishi. Just the music can put me out of a depressive, downward thought spiral and a film by Miyazaki will certainly do so. These pieces of art are healing.
Hayao Miyazaki will soon be 80 years old. It exceeds the average life expectancy of men. His film is reminiscent of a hometown that doesn't exist anywhere, but I want him to stay in this world forever.
Its neither. It's him being honest about how he came to be where he is. He is there not because he wants to, but because he needs to. Just like Jim carrey and other comedians and probably many other big names, they do what they do because they feel a sense that they don't deserve to exist if they cant bring happiness to others.
It is just a way to say that perhaps this is the purpose of his life. That it justifies his existence. And aren't we all looking for that? I smile when I hear it, no sadness here.
@@AndrewColletti well who can tell if someone deserve to live or not unless one does tell it to themselves right, Saying something like: "maybe I don't deserve to live if i can't entertain people" I get it anyone wants to feel wanted or loved or accepted or feel a belonging but it is pretty saddening to say it like , who told you that?! Like what if you can't do it? Are you gonna stop? I seriously hope he said that on a whim and hope it didn't come from his heart; also obviously he doesn't need to entertain people or feel obligated to just so to qualify to exist... Nor does anyone else. he said he had a unfulfilled desire to be useful; I get it but sigh, that's not the way. i hope his mother was alive today so we had not only happy movies but a happy Miyazaki as well. Maybe I'm just being too cautious and thinking too much idk. Thanks for reaching all the way here oh and it's 3am so bye for now lol
24:44 When Miyazaki says, "Hand drawing's the only answer.", it fills me with a sense of sadness. It's a dying form, what with the advent of technology, and this legendary titan is only growing older by the day.
I would like to believe hand drawing is timeless. Sure the stir of the world has decided which path people should take to keep up with its pace, but it's these idealist minds--whose idealism being their "wealth" instead of materialistic occupation--are the ones who can choose whether to follow the mainstream or to shine their own uniqueness instead.
@@PerfectlyFreedom you can just feel the weight of their sacrifices but also the love in it. Like he said, detail is the most important thing. But I def feel myself losing the hand drawn argument with my younger sibling and his age group, without them even saying a word..
I foyu would like to help keep hand drawn animation, make sure to always check movies made by smaller studios, as well as animes :) The Spa Studios makes hand drawn films, as well as Cartoon Saloon (which to me has the same level as Ghibli), and also keep watching other forms of animation, like stop motion made by the now dying studio Lika :/
"I want to stay grumpy. That's who I am. I want to stay lost in my thoughts. But since that's not socially acceptable, I plaster a smile on my face." That's a mood right there. So relatable!
The subtitles said “thanks for the Howl movie” but straight translation is “thank you for MAKING/CREATING Howl (movie)” and I just felt like I needed to emphasis that ❤️
I don't usuallly write comments, but I need to say, the effort you put in this video is astronomical. The movies soundtracks in the back, the cuts between miyazaki, the movie, or you speaking, it's so well done, and not gonna lie the sense of awe that I get watching ghibli films, I felt here. Congratulations sir, keep doing what you do, you're outstanding!
Totally agree. The way this video is set up, it even outshines multi milion production documentaries. But that is something that amazes me about a lot of youtubers. The quality they produce is either on par with, or exceeds that what a real studio would make for national/international television.
When I was 9 years old my parents brought my brother and I from the US to live in Mexico City for a year. One evening they took us to a friend's house for dinner. They didn't have any kids and I was bored, so I started to watch the futbal game that was playing on a tiny black and white tv in the corner. I don't know anything about futbal now and I knew even less then. So I just stared at the screen watching the tiny people with zero context or comprehension. But as I did I noticed something strange. There was a pattern to the movement of all the players, and it all came back to one man. Across the whole field, he alone was initiating the action, and everyone else was responding to him. No matter where he went, or who approached him, he moved between and with and around them like a river. He was just flowing. Our host must have noticed my sudden interest, because he walked over to stand next to me. He didn't even ask me what had caught my attention; he just pointed at the screen and said, smiling, "Do you know who that is?" I shook my head. "That's Pele." That was the first time I can remember seeing a Master at work. I think about that moment all the time. It taught me that you don't have to know the rules, or understand the context, or comprehend anything on a logical level to recognize when a Master is in motion. The medium almost doesn't matter, because they've transcended the medium, and the level at which they operate resonates with us so profoundly that we respond on a level much more deeply felt than our intellect. It's so powerful, so perfectly human, that even a child, me, could recognize it. Miyazaki knows that to be a true Master, you must always create transcendentally - and once you have, you then push yourself to go even further next time and transcend even that. The sheer force of will that drives him to create his art is, I think, why his films are so vital. Every frame is imbued with his sheer will to create and to live beautifully. Thank you for this video. Also thanks for coming to my TED talk.
7:58 "You are drawing people, not characters" Really blew my mind, because I realized that he has all the emotions in mind for each character that they might feel in several situations. All of them can feel envious, interested, irritated, amused because they didnt get assigned a "You are the grumpy or the dumb character" trait. They are all human and this really stands out for me in comparison to a lot of movies and shows, and not even just the animated ones!
What I love about his movies is that they're all not crazy, elaborate stories with plot twists and a typical beginning middle and end. Rather it feels like we're watching only a few hours of someone's life, and the daily events that unfold. The aesthetic, scenery, quiet moments are what really keeps me coming back as an adult to watch the films. As a young child, the unique, at times weird, and interesting elements keeps me engaged. Spirited Away was one of my first films - so glad it wad in my childhood
at 6:30 you talk about this moment of silence that gives the watcher space. this is one reason why Ghibli movies are so amazing, i dont remember seeing moments like these in other anime movies or series. kiki waiting for customers in the bakery or umi and shun in the quartier latin, these moments of peace offer a break from the plot and let us appreciate the world the movie is set in.
EXACTLY. This is the reason I HATE the Disney's re-release English-dubbed versions of the Ghibli films. They put all these STUPID little sound effects into those moments of silence that just ruins the mood. Can't stand them Disney.
oh my gosh anytime anyone ask me about a ghibli film i remember the scene of the wind moving through the grass in spirited away with that iconic music playing in the background
there is also underlying message here, nowadays all kids animation/cartoons are always action or narrative based. Hell, even youtube kids is always made with bright quick and LOUD visuals, that I hate letting any kid watch it. It's meant to keep their attention but not teach them anything above the generic "lesson", it's not allowing them to think and feel and create and just be! I think the closest we have come is with Pixar and Miyazaki movies, with allow kids to feel and love and just get lost in this brilliant world.
@@seth9577 I think he walked out because a lot of Goro’s Tales From Earthsea is symbolic to Hayao and Goro’s relationship. the son kills the father at the start of the film and then goes out into the world alone, finding a new father figure in a mentor like Sparrowhawk. Hayao really left Goro because of his work and Goro only had the work to connect with, like everyone else, rather than his dad. Then he gets offered directing by Toshio Suzuki and Hayao basically ignores him the whole time 😂 it all seeped in
The older I get, the more I could feel the way Miyazaki’s movies speak to my soul. Somehow the worlds in his movies make me feel like home, it almost feels like I’m homesick for a (literally)fictional place I’ve never been to before. It’s something on a deeper level that’s indescribable that makes Miyazaki’s movies so magical.
I didn't expect to be crying by the end of this video. The love and admiration I have for Hayao Miyazaki is incredibly special to me, like I'm sure it is to so many others. His work inspires my own work and even my day-to-day life. He is a gift to all.
He is underrated, probably because he is a “Children’s story” animator. But when you are watching a Miyazaki film you are watching a Picasso a Michelangelo, a true visionary. It is amazing time to be alive at the same time as this man and his animations.
Miyazaki does something that very few animators can't... Capture the vivid and wonderful imagination of a child while telling a very mature and realistic story that even adults understand and relate to.
This is genuinely one of the greatest videos out there for story writers like me. Within the span of thirty minutes I got multiple quotes I needed to note down and solved so many problems that I was facing but couldn't put my finger on. When he said that they aren't characters, they're humans, I realised that I have so much to learn. Thank you. ❤️
Miyazaki is a living genius and I hope he lives a long while longer. No one else alive today is creating animation at that high-level of art and spiritual content. His masterpieces will live forever.
There is only 1 artist who can even come close to hayao miyazaki..... That man was Kentaro Miura --- the author of "BERSERK" Manga and anime. He's the only one I've even seen come close to Miyazaki.
There are a lot of videos about Miyazaki but this has to be one of the best. I've always been struck by the scene at the end of Kingdom of Dreams and Madness. After a whole documentary where Miyazaki has mostly been cynical, literally right before the press conference announcing his retirement, he calls the cameraman over to look at something he saw outside. And he starts to go on about what he was just imagining in his head and the power of animation to depict things and change people's lives. It's that mix of the cynical world-weary man and the fascination & imagination of a child that both live within him that make Miyazaki such a unique creator.
Thank you very much. Yes I know the scene! I think that's a really good perspective of him. He says that he can't make films to tell kids to just give up, rather he'd prefer to inspire them, despite what he believes.
@@Any-mation Indeed! My other theory is that part of the reason he was able to make such beautiful children's films like Totoro and Kiki was because during that whole period he was slowly working on the Nausicaa manga. That was the creative outlet for the darker side of his psyche.
The first sentence is SO true! ... "I felt I could escape into their worlds"... As a fan of Miyazaki, I always say his movies are like destinations you can always go back to! I would not say the same thing of other favorite directors. But it's 100% true of Miyazaki!
I can’t imagine a world without Miyazaki. I almost consider him family, the way his films have aged as I have and my understanding of them grows as I do. He’s everyone’s wise and beloved grandfather
I'm crying. I don't know why but I'm crying. Miyazaki's vision is projected in his animation, and this video captures it. It's the simplicity, ambivalence, innocence that you find in his films knocking that door inside you, asking you to become kids again.
My first Miyazaki film was Princess Mononoke (The English Dub on VHS from my local Blockbuster). Immediately, my 9-year-old mind knew there was so much more being said by that film than by any media I'd consumed before. It was absolutely stunning, and sparked an interest in crafting worlds and telling stories that persists even now, 20 years later. I'm so happy that he is receiving the mainstream recognition in the US that he has deserved for so long. This man's life, and its reflections in his work, will be remembered long after he's departed. I hope more and more people become acquainted with the beautiful melancholy and tremendous hope his films impart. It broke my heart, the line "Maybe if I can entertain, then my life will have meaning." Miyazaki has done so much more than entertain. He taught me how to see with eyes unclouded by hate. He taught my young niece how to live without restraint and love without fear. I'm sure he has taught formative lessons to more children and adults than even he can appreciate.
Hayao Miyazaki is a gem to this world. I got made fun of as a kid because I watched Studio Ghibli movies and many other anime, hardly anyone could understand except a few kids. Now I'm 30, my life is fantastic, I got to go to Japan while in the Navy, I still retain a big piece of innocence and adventure inside me and a lot has to do with the magic of Hayao Miyazaki and his masterpieces. I guess I got the last laugh
@@santiagolopez3909 hmm well there are all kinds of people, I personally don't care but it's a bit unfortunate to not have someone close who is interested in what you are in but i sat to myself it'll gonna be ok
Aw man that's so sweet and heart warming I love it when people do what they themselves want and think is right despite ppls ideas of right which even they don't like. I'm 22 currently and previously I had to think that I should "grow up" or "be an adult" in other words turn my imagination off and foolishly kil the inner child and that sense of wonder... even fool is a understatement... After years of insanity I miraculously saw this video and Miyazaki talking about how adult don't notice Boris moving hair unlike Children and at that moment it ignited my long silent inner child's innocence and it was a calm and strangely familiar feeling truly an eye opener. I got to thank the maker of this video and Miyazaki san. Thank God and everyone here
everything that ever comes out of Miyazaki sensei's mouth is poetry... i can't explain but he's exactly as how his creations are.. he brings so much comfort...
I really don't ever want this man to go... No one can ever be like him artistically, creatively, and as a person in general. He's impacted so many lives... It's unbelievable. More people should see how impactful he is, not only in the anime community, but how people's lives have changed because of him. So much emotion. Every movie he makes is like a fragile piece of art. His art is worth more than the Mona Lisa... Untouchable. No one can ever top Miyazaki's work... His craft... If everyone in the world knew about him, I'd stop calling him underrated. I've watched near every one of his movies and it never fails to make me feel fuzzy on the inside. Everyone should know about this man... Thank you, Hisaishi. Thank you, Takahata. Thank you, Studio Ghibli. Thank you, Miyazaki. Thank you for creating memories and nostalgia for everyone. Can't thank everyone enough for how loved Miyazaki and the crew are.
This documentary on Miyazaki reminds me so much of my college graphic design teacher, Ronald Nonken. He passed away far too soon. He was an original designer, prior to computers, and he won 2 Clio Awards, which are the graphic design equivalent of Oscars. He never mentioned it though, because he was a humble genius who brought out the best in everyone. He was suffering with cancer, and he still took his time to teach my design class. He taught us until the very day he passed away. I used to sit and talk to him everyday because he knew so much about art, and life. To say that he gave everything he could to what he loved, teaching, creating, and designing ideas and concepts, in order to inspire his students. When I see this documentary, the qualities Miyazaki has make me feel as though he’s like my teacher, a tireless leader who worked until he couldn’t do so anymore. In a way, his sacrifice is very much the same. I love being around people, given that I Dj as well as illustrate, and do graphic design work. But in the moments when illustrating begins, it’s within your mind and even when you’re in a class of students, or around teachers, you’re in your solitude. It takes a very special person to teach people how to extract their thoughts, and covert them into images that can create a full range of emotions. If a picture is worth a thousand words, the artistry of people who create genius level artwork and animation is can create the illusion of a lifetime. When I got hit by a car, then lost my Dad to cancer, the idea of not being able to draw again, it was crushing. Thinking of how old Miyazaki is, and realizing that as you get older, elements like carpal tunnel, or joint pains from drawing in uncomfortable positions, or even my teacher, Mr Nonken, tracing my class while he suffered through cancer, it helped me through recovery. When chronic pain sets in, I think of their devotion. The accident changed my life, but something that always impressed me is seeing people work though adversity. My Mom and Dad getting my sister and I through a coup to immigrate to the US, building our lives over from scratch, watching Miyazaki work through hardships, and the trappings of age, seeing my favorite teacher work through his cancer, watching teachers and first responders work through these difficult times, it’s the very definition of a fulfilling life. This documentary is truly spectacular, motivating, and incredibly relevant. Miyazaki is truly a living legend. There have even been long term friendships I’ve formed through discussions about Miyazaki’s masterpieces. The attention to detail you mention in his work, his studio’s artistry, it’s incredible. Thank you for making this excellent documentary.
He is a Legend. Each work of his are masterpiece. I am really grateful to him for making me experience something so ethereal. I am so blessed to be alive and born in a time when I can experience Hayao Miyazaki's works. I can never get enough of his films. They are just way too perfect. I wish for him to live a really long and healthy life. Thank you Hayao Miyazaki-san.
Miyazaki is an artist up there with Van Gough, Monet, Picasso, etc. He is more than just an animator and his style is so unique and influences so much media and art.
WOW! Watching Miyazaki' s creations makes me feel the way I did as a child watching the animation that I loved. And I am 65. Its just an amazing gift to this world! Thank you for this video
Miyazaki and his team put so much effort into telling such memorable and compelling stories. Fully pushing the boundaries of what animation can do is completely amazing, I cannot place my love for these films into words, they are just art.
My father also says hello when ever we come back home even if no one is there. when i asked him about it he would answer me there were spirits and angels living there with us and he was greeting them. Seeing Miyazaki saying "ohaio gozaimas" , i knew right away he was greeting the spirits. Seeing these little nuances between cultures always cheers me up and reminds me of wherever we are from, we humans are in some ways the same.
Beautiful Video, it can't get better than this. You literally explained what motivates Miyazaki to keep going, everything him seeing bombing, leaving some mother and her child behind, and finally his mother's early departure. Amazing, my brother said what r u doing watching a Documentary.
he's such such such a genius. i have so much respect and some kind of deep love for him, his personality and what comes from that personality. whatever he says and does makes so much sense. all the details he talks about gives a deep understanding of how much of a observant person he is towards world and creations living in it
As much as I love anime, no studio/director can recreate what Miyazaki does, no one puts so much philosophy, soul, details in their stories, this man is going to be remembered for his great work indefinitely
This was a very inspiring video essay, how Miyazaki talks about the importance of drawing full human beings, being true to your work, it’s all I ever wanted to hear
If only Disney was this creative with the billions of dollars it has. Miyazaki, one man with so much endless creativity and invaluable imagination. Truly a man for the ages. So much passion
The beauty Miyazaki was talking about is exactly what I've been feeling as well. There are a lot of movies and series that you maybe would call beautiful or say they have a beautiful scene in them. But rarely do we see works of fiction where the essence and the heart of its themes and narrative is 'beauty' along with every character, scene and animation sequence throughout the film. This makes the movies feel like a fleeting dream, and it gives you perspective in the way that beauty magnifies what's ugly in the world and in yourself. This is why people resonate and love these movies so much, we want to strive for the same beauty that's portrayed in Miyazaki's films. Courage, truth, family, forgiveness, appreciation and preservation of nature are a few of the things I take away from the movies, portrayed in such a powerful way unlike any other media I've seen that it's hard to not call Miyazaki a master.
Watching this after having seen "How do you live" (The Boy and the Heron) in theatres. It clearly is one of the most complex and thought provoking of his movies. I also couldn't stop crying watching your lovely video and I don't quite know why.
I just love Miyazaki’s films. So very much of who he is, his hurts, his patriotism and his pure love of his country and traditions shine through in every one of his films. They are all distinctly his. He’s the unequivocal master of animation. How richly he tells a story, pure perfection, every time.
Wow, tremendous video. It helps make so much sense of why Ghibli movies that that unique quality to them that makes the viewer feel like a child again.
What an incredibly well made video- i can really see and FEEL all the heart you have put into making it! Miyazaki is one of the greatest film makes of all time and his work is timeless and unchanging
The fact that these notes in this particular pattern make hundreds of humans feel the same longing and nostalgia for something that doesn't exist....that's magic. That is what magic is.
Truly a well-done video showcasing the beauty behind Miyazaki's works and endless struggles of an artist trying to bring something better into the world. One truly learns to appreciate his films if they grew up with them. There is something about watching them first time as a kid and then coming back later as an adult.
For some reason, I couldn't stop crying during this whole video. Miyazaki is able to get to the heart of so many issues and ideas. Great job putting this video together and highlighting why he's such an amazing creator.
What draws me to ghibli time and again is the simple but realistic drawing style. The way the characters look coupled with the rich background full of detail. Then add in the way the charecters move and the way their hair and clothes move adding to the realism. After that the way the characters are written and the way they grow. The moments of pause/quiet to just take in the characters and what is going on. Lastly the music. All these things together make ghibli so compelling.
cry counter: 3 I grew up with Hayao's movies, I think the music of Joe Hishaishi is also important for the final product. And what can I say? I love Ghibli I'm so grateful that my parents decided to show me these movies. It ended up making me who I am, teaching me that "live is worth living" and the "principles" that his characters follow. So, Thanks Dad, Mom for making me part of this, Thanks Hayao, Isao, Goro and the Ghibli staff for making this amazing work of art, Thanks Joe for providing such great music for these movies. and also Thank You for making this video, I enjoyed it so much
as a kid, ive never realised how amazing these movies were. it was just a comforting environment, but now i truly understand the magic behind miyazakis work
Terry Gilliam says that “the great film directors make you go home and think about it.” When it comes to animation, Hayao Miyazaki definitely fits that description.
I bet everyone can find something personal in Miyazaki animation works. Something unique from your childhood. And simultaneously these things are universal. His movies make people closer and let to understand each other and beauty of the world. Each little creature has interesting personality to investigate as world has secrets to unclose.
he’s so intune with spirit. it makes sense why i loved these movies as a kid and can go back older and still attain knowledge. truly the work of a god.
I recently watched The Boy and The Heron and I came across your video while trying to lookup more about Miyazaki. You’ve made a brilliant and extremely concise, engaging and informative video. Needless to say, Miyazaki and Ghibli movies inspire me and this video fuelled my inspiration further.. thank you so much making this. You’re amazing!
Thank you for making this video...I truely have tears in my my eyes, tears of happyness and sadness...I dont know.. I love listending to his talking because it is so inspiring and true to me. And I love listening to people, who love the people who I love too.
I added this video in my watchlist one year ago, but I didn't feel like I was fully prepared to accept it into my spirit, so I waited. Today the day came, I felt ready to welcome it in my heart and mind: what I beautiful experience. Thank you very much, I learnt a lot.
Thank-you so much for making this, you did a tremendous job. By the end I was on the verge of weeping. I only just watched "Castle in the Sky" and I've just wanted to continue feeling it, thinking about it, and to understand how such an incredible work was made. You really honored the Ghibli work here, in all the ways in which it is extraordinary. My tanks are full now, thanks again
The beauty otherwise unnoticed is why I love and connect with ghibli films so much. And why they are my comfort films, my movies when I need to feel inspired or motivated or just feel grateful for the life I’m living. Also, his characters are so passionate and hardworking. I wish to be like them.
When hayao stated that he does not agree to the notion that happiness is the goal of life, i was reminded of what namjoon said: "Happiness is not something you have to achieve. You can still be happy during the process of achieving something"
I just watched the documentary "10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki" that you borrowed a lot of clips from. I have a whole new level of respect and appreciation for him now, not that he wasn't on the top for me before watching it.
You are a master editor, Any-Mation! The documentary was glorious!!! This was so informative and inspirational. All the tid-bits of his life you added in, for me, were very educational, being a creative getting into the world of entertainment. Thank you!!! I appreciate you and immense much love / gratitude to the Studio Ghibli family.
it makes SO much sense to learn that Miyazaki starts with sketches and images and not a script!! That revelation is mind-blowing.
I know right?!
That's how I work when I start writing something or drawing something or even write an essay if I had the choice of no rough draft i would make things up that came to mind I take pictures of things for later drawings and I stare out windows and think. And I just now realized all of this while watching this video and reading comments
From the way he describes intricate details, you can tell the guy must have a high IQ.
It brings me peace to know that the method I felt most comfortable using when I was young is valid, and it brings me more peace and satisfaction that I've been proved that I can make things the way I allow my brain to flow, which is just more different than others I've seen around me.
Even his staff worries/wonders at how his stories will develop as they watch him sketch away.
it’s a relief to discover that intuitive artists like him still exist.
Whenever my life gets too stressful i have trouble sleeping. Then i put on Miyazaki and it lightens my soul, Miyazaki isn't just a movie maker, he's a healer, his work will be loved for so many generations.
Yes I totally agree with you 🥺❤️
This is very true. Combine that with the amazing music by Joe Hisaishi. Just the music can put me out of a depressive, downward thought spiral and a film by Miyazaki will certainly do so. These pieces of art are healing.
Wow you worded that so perfectly. He is a healer ❤️
@@sammywildflower1617Pretty funny how his personality type is INFP, also known as Healer♧
His work is truly unique. There is no other person who's able to create something like him.
Hayao Miyazaki will soon be 80 years old. It exceeds the average life expectancy of men.
His film is reminiscent of a hometown that doesn't exist anywhere, but I want him to stay in this world forever.
The average life expectancy in Japan is almost 85 tho, its way higher than in america
derpdiu the life expectancy in the the uk is a bit higher then America but still not as high as Japan
Same
He will live on in his films, more then any other film maker. There is so much of him self in them
Miyazaki smoke alot. He would probably be healthier and live to 100 if he didn't smoke and over worked.
"If I can entertain people, maybe I deserve to exist"
I don't know why, but that gives me chills. I can't tell if it's meant to be sweet or sorrowful
Its neither. It's him being honest about how he came to be where he is. He is there not because he wants to, but because he needs to. Just like Jim carrey and other comedians and probably many other big names, they do what they do because they feel a sense that they don't deserve to exist if they cant bring happiness to others.
Total layman here, but that line + the story of abandoning the woman = survivor's guilt.
The rarer hand drawn becomes the more it will mean to us.
It is just a way to say that perhaps this is the purpose of his life. That it justifies his existence. And aren't we all looking for that? I smile when I hear it, no sadness here.
@@AndrewColletti well who can tell if someone deserve to live or not unless one does tell it to themselves right,
Saying something like:
"maybe I don't deserve to live if i can't entertain people"
I get it anyone wants to feel wanted or loved or accepted or feel a belonging but it is pretty saddening to say it like , who told you that?!
Like what if you can't do it? Are you gonna stop?
I seriously hope he said that on a whim and hope it didn't come from his heart; also obviously he doesn't need to entertain people or feel obligated to just so to qualify to exist... Nor does anyone else.
he said he had a unfulfilled desire to be useful; I get it but sigh, that's not the way. i hope his mother was alive today so we had not only happy movies but a happy Miyazaki as well.
Maybe I'm just being too cautious and thinking too much idk. Thanks for reaching all the way here oh and it's 3am so bye for now lol
Miyazaki while making the movie: 😠🏴☠️⛓😾😡🗡❌
The movie: 🌺🌸🌼🌻🍀🌴🌿🐸🦄☀️🍱💛✨
And his son too
Yeah cause he wants to see people who work on his movie improve
LOL! Making animated movies is super hard though, so I don't blame him.
@@darrenkhosasi1252 hayao miyazaki is better than his son
映画の中には時に残酷さも含まれる
24:44 When Miyazaki says, "Hand drawing's the only answer.", it fills me with a sense of sadness. It's a dying form, what with the advent of technology, and this legendary titan is only growing older by the day.
I would like to believe hand drawing is timeless. Sure the stir of the world has decided which path people should take to keep up with its pace, but it's these idealist minds--whose idealism being their "wealth" instead of materialistic occupation--are the ones who can choose whether to follow the mainstream or to shine their own uniqueness instead.
@@PerfectlyFreedom you can just feel the weight of their sacrifices but also the love in it. Like he said, detail is the most important thing. But I def feel myself losing the hand drawn argument with my younger sibling and his age group, without them even saying a word..
I foyu would like to help keep hand drawn animation, make sure to always check movies made by smaller studios, as well as animes :) The Spa Studios makes hand drawn films, as well as Cartoon Saloon (which to me has the same level as Ghibli), and also keep watching other forms of animation, like stop motion made by the now dying studio Lika :/
There is always a gentle touch in every handdrawn film. Its just. Intimate in a sense.
Yolo
30 minutes of glorious miyazaki
bababooiebababooiebababooiebababooie
Stop slackin, go animate
The only thing that bothers me about Mr. Miyazaki is that he smokes.....

sir ur teaching me even as an adult life is worth living, during all my darkest times 😔✋💞💞
"I want to stay grumpy. That's who I am. I want to stay lost in my thoughts. But since that's not socially acceptable, I plaster a smile on my face." That's a mood right there. So relatable!

"Thanks for the Howl Movie"
OH GOD, MY HEART!
I cried
That's all of us, honestly.
My heart melted
The subtitles said “thanks for the Howl movie” but straight translation is “thank you for MAKING/CREATING Howl (movie)” and I just felt like I needed to emphasis that ❤️
Excellent one!
I don't usuallly write comments, but I need to say, the effort you put in this video is astronomical. The movies soundtracks in the back, the cuts between miyazaki, the movie, or you speaking, it's so well done, and not gonna lie the sense of awe that I get watching ghibli films, I felt here. Congratulations sir, keep doing what you do, you're outstanding!
Thank you very much, I’m glad you took the time to notice all that 🙏🏻
Totally agree. The way this video is set up, it even outshines multi milion production documentaries. But that is something that amazes me about a lot of youtubers. The quality they produce is either on par with, or exceeds that what a real studio would make for national/international television.
@@ichigozanghetsu 100%, I was watching, and my brother said to me Are you watching a Documentry of National Geographic?
Honestly so calming I could sleep to this video and to all the Ghibli movies 👍😊
"you see, what drives animation is the will of the characters.
you don't depict fate, you depict will. even if fate exists."
"you have to be determined to change the world with your film, even though nothing changes. that's what it means to be a film maker."
loved this stood out to me as well
When I was 9 years old my parents brought my brother and I from the US to live in Mexico City for a year. One evening they took us to a friend's house for dinner. They didn't have any kids and I was bored, so I started to watch the futbal game that was playing on a tiny black and white tv in the corner.
I don't know anything about futbal now and I knew even less then. So I just stared at the screen watching the tiny people with zero context or comprehension. But as I did I noticed something strange. There was a pattern to the movement of all the players, and it all came back to one man. Across the whole field, he alone was initiating the action, and everyone else was responding to him. No matter where he went, or who approached him, he moved between and with and around them like a river. He was just flowing.
Our host must have noticed my sudden interest, because he walked over to stand next to me. He didn't even ask me what had caught my attention; he just pointed at the screen and said, smiling, "Do you know who that is?" I shook my head.
"That's Pele."
That was the first time I can remember seeing a Master at work. I think about that moment all the time. It taught me that you don't have to know the rules, or understand the context, or comprehend anything on a logical level to recognize when a Master is in motion. The medium almost doesn't matter, because they've transcended the medium, and the level at which they operate resonates with us so profoundly that we respond on a level much more deeply felt than our intellect. It's so powerful, so perfectly human, that even a child, me, could recognize it.
Miyazaki knows that to be a true Master, you must always create transcendentally - and once you have, you then push yourself to go even further next time and transcend even that. The sheer force of will that drives him to create his art is, I think, why his films are so vital. Every frame is imbued with his sheer will to create and to live beautifully.
Thank you for this video. Also thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Thank you. I loved what you said.
Beautifully said.
Absolutely brilliant.
it sounded wondrous
well said, maybe you should make a video on it
7:58 "You are drawing people, not characters" Really blew my mind, because I realized that he has all the emotions in mind for each character that they might feel in several situations. All of them can feel envious, interested, irritated, amused because they didnt get assigned a "You are the grumpy or the dumb character" trait. They are all human and this really stands out for me in comparison to a lot of movies and shows, and not even just the animated ones!
What I love about his movies is that they're all not crazy, elaborate stories with plot twists and a typical beginning middle and end. Rather it feels like we're watching only a few hours of someone's life, and the daily events that unfold. The aesthetic, scenery, quiet moments are what really keeps me coming back as an adult to watch the films. As a young child, the unique, at times weird, and interesting elements keeps me engaged. Spirited Away was one of my first films - so glad it wad in my childhood
at 6:30 you talk about this moment of silence that gives the watcher space. this is one reason why Ghibli movies are so amazing, i dont remember seeing moments like these in other anime movies or series.
kiki waiting for customers in the bakery or umi and shun in the quartier latin, these moments of peace offer a break from the plot and let us appreciate the world the movie is set in.
Absolutely.
I noticed that. It gives you an immense feeling while watching the film.
or chihiro stopping to look at the view from the stairs.
EXACTLY. This is the reason I HATE the Disney's re-release English-dubbed versions of the Ghibli films. They put all these STUPID little sound effects into those moments of silence that just ruins the mood. Can't stand them Disney.
oh my gosh anytime anyone ask me about a ghibli film i remember the scene of the wind moving through the grass in spirited away with that iconic music playing in the background
there is also underlying message here, nowadays all kids animation/cartoons are always action or narrative based. Hell, even youtube kids is always made with bright quick and LOUD visuals, that I hate letting any kid watch it. It's meant to keep their attention but not teach them anything above the generic "lesson", it's not allowing them to think and feel and create and just be! I think the closest we have come is with Pixar and Miyazaki movies, with allow kids to feel and love and just get lost in this brilliant world.
The title: "Hayao Miyazaki: The Mind of a Master"
also Miyazaki: * walks out his son's own movie and smokes a cig *
Why he didn't want his son to direct movies and why he walk out of the film?
@@seth9577 I think he walked out of the film because he thought it was bad
@@seth9577 I think he felt his son wasn't ready yet, as he hadn't captured the same feeling that his movies did
that trailer for his sons movie ... i would walk out too
@@seth9577 I think he walked out because a lot of Goro’s Tales From Earthsea is symbolic to Hayao and Goro’s relationship. the son kills the father at the start of the film and then goes out into the world alone, finding a new father figure in a mentor like Sparrowhawk. Hayao really left Goro because of his work and Goro only had the work to connect with, like everyone else, rather than his dad. Then he gets offered directing by Toshio Suzuki and Hayao basically ignores him the whole time 😂 it all seeped in
I actually cried during this video, Miyazaki's words have really touched me plus the commentary just made me super emotional
I hope he knows the big impact he's made in our lives
I hope so too
I hope he does as well. Here's an analysis of My Neighbour Totoro... ua-cam.com/video/Q7JfWY-XXaE/v-deo.html
But what about his son?
@@darrenkhosasi1252 what about him?
The older I get, the more I could feel the way Miyazaki’s movies speak to my soul. Somehow the worlds in his movies make me feel like home, it almost feels like I’m homesick for a (literally)fictional place I’ve never been to before. It’s something on a deeper level that’s indescribable that makes Miyazaki’s movies so magical.
This man is a gift from God to humanity! Masterpiece after masterpiece!
You mean Miyazaki, right? ;)
@@Any-mation Miyazaki all the way!!!
@@Any-mation Thank you for this video! Such a great analysis upon Myiazaki's art creation! An inspirational video!
Agreed although I wouldn't call him a gift from god -- more like a wonderful combination of genes and altruism :D
Hideaki Anno *slight smile
That little girl thanking him is all of us. :)
I didn't expect to be crying by the end of this video. The love and admiration I have for Hayao Miyazaki is incredibly special to me, like I'm sure it is to so many others. His work inspires my own work and even my day-to-day life. He is a gift to all.
He is underrated, probably because he is a “Children’s story” animator. But when you are watching a Miyazaki film you are watching a Picasso a Michelangelo, a true visionary. It is amazing time to be alive at the same time as this man and his animations.
Miyazaki does something that very few animators can't...
Capture the vivid and wonderful imagination of a child while telling a very mature and realistic story that even adults understand and relate to.
This is genuinely one of the greatest videos out there for story writers like me. Within the span of thirty minutes I got multiple quotes I needed to note down and solved so many problems that I was facing but couldn't put my finger on.
When he said that they aren't characters, they're humans, I realised that I have so much to learn.
Thank you. ❤️
drop your art handle
Miyazaki is a living genius and I hope he lives a long while longer. No one else alive today is creating animation at that high-level of art and spiritual content. His masterpieces will live forever.
no wonder he's considered a national treasure
International treasure
@tom gu universal
Multiversal
There is only 1 artist who can even come close to hayao miyazaki.....
That man was Kentaro Miura --- the author of "BERSERK" Manga and anime.
He's the only one I've even seen come close to Miyazaki.
@@craigwheeler4760 i don't know him 😐but i think the only one who come close to miyazaki works and legacy is Kon Satoshi
There are a lot of videos about Miyazaki but this has to be one of the best.
I've always been struck by the scene at the end of Kingdom of Dreams and Madness. After a whole documentary where Miyazaki has mostly been cynical, literally right before the press conference announcing his retirement, he calls the cameraman over to look at something he saw outside. And he starts to go on about what he was just imagining in his head and the power of animation to depict things and change people's lives. It's that mix of the cynical world-weary man and the fascination & imagination of a child that both live within him that make Miyazaki such a unique creator.
Thank you very much. Yes I know the scene! I think that's a really good perspective of him. He says that he can't make films to tell kids to just give up, rather he'd prefer to inspire them, despite what he believes.
@@Any-mation Indeed! My other theory is that part of the reason he was able to make such beautiful children's films like Totoro and Kiki was because during that whole period he was slowly working on the Nausicaa manga. That was the creative outlet for the darker side of his psyche.
@@SchmitzCinemaStudies whoa! I didnt know he was making that manga during KIKI's production! That movie has got to be my favorite!
@@Any-mation what??? So he'd rather lie?? Or am I reading it the wrong way?
The words Miyazaki speaks are so inspiring, he sees a world beyond general understanding
Here's a thoughtful analysis of the Master... ua-cam.com/video/Q7JfWY-XXaE/v-deo.html
The first sentence is SO true! ... "I felt I could escape into their worlds"... As a fan of Miyazaki, I always say his movies are like destinations you can always go back to!
I would not say the same thing of other favorite directors. But it's 100% true of Miyazaki!
You're 100 % RIGHT!!!
V true
The problem is I never want to come back out of them! The modern world has become grotesque from rampant commercialisation.
@@now591 but without the modern world, there would be no Miyazaki's though.
@@qi6303 Yeah! Words couldn’t be any truer. 😂
I can’t imagine a world without Miyazaki. I almost consider him family, the way his films have aged as I have and my understanding of them grows as I do. He’s everyone’s wise and beloved grandfather
I'm crying. I don't know why but I'm crying. Miyazaki's vision is projected in his animation, and this video captures it. It's the simplicity, ambivalence, innocence that you find in his films knocking that door inside you, asking you to become kids again.
great video thanks for the look behind the scenes
Not at all, thank you for all your music
Wholesome
Wow crazy seeing you here
This was exceptionally well done. Thank you
My first Miyazaki film was Princess Mononoke (The English Dub on VHS from my local Blockbuster). Immediately, my 9-year-old mind knew there was so much more being said by that film than by any media I'd consumed before. It was absolutely stunning, and sparked an interest in crafting worlds and telling stories that persists even now, 20 years later. I'm so happy that he is receiving the mainstream recognition in the US that he has deserved for so long. This man's life, and its reflections in his work, will be remembered long after he's departed. I hope more and more people become acquainted with the beautiful melancholy and tremendous hope his films impart. It broke my heart, the line "Maybe if I can entertain, then my life will have meaning." Miyazaki has done so much more than entertain. He taught me how to see with eyes unclouded by hate. He taught my young niece how to live without restraint and love without fear. I'm sure he has taught formative lessons to more children and adults than even he can appreciate.
Hayao Miyazaki is a gem to this world. I got made fun of as a kid because I watched Studio Ghibli movies and many other anime, hardly anyone could understand except a few kids. Now I'm 30, my life is fantastic, I got to go to Japan while in the Navy, I still retain a big piece of innocence and adventure inside me and a lot has to do with the magic of Hayao Miyazaki and his masterpieces. I guess I got the last laugh
Why would your schoolmates disapprove of your lust for Japanese animation? Was it not popular then? It’s very popular now.
@@santiagolopez3909 hmm well there are all kinds of people, I personally don't care but it's a bit unfortunate to not have someone close who is interested in what you are in but i sat to myself it'll gonna be ok
Aw man that's so sweet and heart warming
I love it when people do what they themselves want and think is right despite ppls ideas of right which even they don't like.
I'm 22 currently and previously I had to think that I should "grow up" or "be an adult" in other words turn my imagination off and foolishly kil the inner child and that sense of wonder... even fool is a understatement... After years of insanity I miraculously saw this video and Miyazaki talking about how adult don't notice Boris moving hair unlike Children and at that moment it ignited my long silent inner child's innocence and it was a calm and strangely familiar feeling truly an eye opener. I got to thank the maker of this video and Miyazaki san. Thank God and everyone here
@@erfan4244 Trust me. I’ve been there before too. So I know how you feel.
everything that ever comes out of Miyazaki sensei's mouth is poetry... i can't explain but he's exactly as how his creations are.. he brings so much comfort...
I really don't ever want this man to go... No one can ever be like him artistically, creatively, and as a person in general. He's impacted so many lives... It's unbelievable. More people should see how impactful he is, not only in the anime community, but how people's lives have changed because of him. So much emotion. Every movie he makes is like a fragile piece of art. His art is worth more than the Mona Lisa... Untouchable. No one can ever top Miyazaki's work... His craft... If everyone in the world knew about him, I'd stop calling him underrated. I've watched near every one of his movies and it never fails to make me feel fuzzy on the inside. Everyone should know about this man... Thank you, Hisaishi. Thank you, Takahata. Thank you, Studio Ghibli. Thank you, Miyazaki. Thank you for creating memories and nostalgia for everyone. Can't thank everyone enough for how loved Miyazaki and the crew are.
This documentary on Miyazaki reminds me so much of my college graphic design teacher, Ronald Nonken. He passed away far too soon. He was an original designer, prior to computers, and he won 2 Clio Awards, which are the graphic design equivalent of Oscars. He never mentioned it though, because he was a humble genius who brought out the best in everyone. He was suffering with cancer, and he still took his time to teach my design class. He taught us until the very day he passed away. I used to sit and talk to him everyday because he knew so much about art, and life. To say that he gave everything he could to what he loved, teaching, creating, and designing ideas and concepts, in order to inspire his students. When I see this documentary, the qualities Miyazaki has make me feel as though he’s like my teacher, a tireless leader who worked until he couldn’t do so anymore. In a way, his sacrifice is very much the same. I love being around people, given that I Dj as well as illustrate, and do graphic design work. But in the moments when illustrating begins, it’s within your mind and even when you’re in a class of students, or around teachers, you’re in your solitude. It takes a very special person to teach people how to extract their thoughts, and covert them into images that can create a full range of emotions. If a picture is worth a thousand words, the artistry of people who create genius level artwork and animation is can create the illusion of a lifetime.
When I got hit by a car, then lost my Dad to cancer, the idea of not being able to draw again, it was crushing. Thinking of how old Miyazaki is, and realizing that as you get older, elements like carpal tunnel, or joint pains from drawing in uncomfortable positions, or even my teacher, Mr Nonken, tracing my class while he suffered through cancer, it helped me through recovery. When chronic pain sets in, I think of their devotion. The accident changed my life, but something that always impressed me is seeing people work though adversity. My Mom and Dad getting my sister and I through a coup to immigrate to the US, building our lives over from scratch, watching Miyazaki work through hardships, and the trappings of age, seeing my favorite teacher work through his cancer, watching teachers and first responders work through these difficult times, it’s the very definition of a fulfilling life. This documentary is truly spectacular, motivating, and incredibly relevant. Miyazaki is truly a living legend. There have even been long term friendships I’ve formed through discussions about Miyazaki’s masterpieces. The attention to detail you mention in his work, his studio’s artistry, it’s incredible. Thank you for making this excellent documentary.
He is a Legend. Each work of his are masterpiece. I am really grateful to him for making me experience something so ethereal. I am so blessed to be alive and born in a time when I can experience Hayao Miyazaki's works. I can never get enough of his films. They are just way too perfect. I wish for him to live a really long and healthy life. Thank you Hayao Miyazaki-san.
Miyazaki is an artist up there with Van Gough, Monet, Picasso, etc.
He is more than just an animator and his style is so unique and influences so much media and art.
Its a weird comparison but I’m actually with you on this
This was one of the best things I've watched in these years. Thank you so much. I didn't understand how the time went by.
WOW! Watching Miyazaki' s creations makes me feel the way I did as a child watching the animation that I loved. And I am 65. Its just an amazing gift to this world!
Thank you for this video
Miyazaki and his team put so much effort into telling such memorable and compelling stories. Fully pushing the boundaries of what animation can do is completely amazing, I cannot place my love for these films into words, they are just art.
My father also says hello when ever we come back home even if no one is there. when i asked him about it he would answer me there were spirits and angels living there with us and he was greeting them.
Seeing Miyazaki saying "ohaio gozaimas" , i knew right away he was greeting the spirits. Seeing these little nuances between cultures always cheers me up and reminds me of wherever we are from, we humans are in some ways the same.
Beautiful Video, it can't get better than this. You literally explained what motivates Miyazaki to keep going, everything him seeing bombing, leaving some mother and her child behind, and finally his mother's early departure. Amazing, my brother said what r u doing watching a Documentary.
he's such such such a genius. i have so much respect and some kind of deep love for him, his personality and what comes from that personality.
whatever he says and does makes so much sense. all the details he talks about gives a deep understanding of how much of a observant person he is towards world and creations living in it
I was glued to the screen the entire time.
As much as I love anime, no studio/director can recreate what Miyazaki does, no one puts so much philosophy, soul, details in their stories, this man is going to be remembered for his great work indefinitely
I love how he never said “it’s pain” or something like that for any of his work/job he had to do, that’s all about love
This was a very inspiring video essay, how Miyazaki talks about the importance of drawing full human beings, being true to your work, it’s all I ever wanted to hear
Hayao Miyazaki is a beautiful person, with a beautiful mind and a beautiful legacy
And he found the perfect composer to compliment his Art
"babies don't turn that sharp.." - boi, thats so sharp of Hayao... love him
Miyazaki truly honed the definition of animation to its finest
“To give life to something.”
*There should be a documentary crew in every animation studio in every project. Everything the artists do is precious.*
If only Disney was this creative with the billions of dollars it has. Miyazaki, one man with so much endless creativity and invaluable imagination. Truly a man for the ages. So much passion
The beauty Miyazaki was talking about is exactly what I've been feeling as well. There are a lot of movies and series that you maybe would call beautiful or say they have a beautiful scene in them. But rarely do we see works of fiction where the essence and the heart of its themes and narrative is 'beauty' along with every character, scene and animation sequence throughout the film.
This makes the movies feel like a fleeting dream, and it gives you perspective in the way that beauty magnifies what's ugly in the world and in yourself. This is why people resonate and love these movies so much, we want to strive for the same beauty that's portrayed in Miyazaki's films. Courage, truth, family, forgiveness, appreciation and preservation of nature are a few of the things I take away from the movies, portrayed in such a powerful way unlike any other media I've seen that it's hard to not call Miyazaki a master.
His movies will forever be my favourite! Thank you for this video, I have learned so much about his work - it truly explains so much
宮崎さんほんとに長生きして欲しい🙏彼のような感性を持った人間はこれから現れない。人類が失ってはいけない存在
Watching this after having seen "How do you live" (The Boy and the Heron) in theatres. It clearly is one of the most complex and thought provoking of his movies.
I also couldn't stop crying watching your lovely video and I don't quite know why.
I just love Miyazaki’s films. So very much of who he is, his hurts, his patriotism and his pure love of his country and traditions shine through in every one of his films. They are all distinctly his. He’s the unequivocal master of animation. How richly he tells a story, pure perfection, every time.
This completely changes the way I look at and understand art. Thank you SO much!
Wow, tremendous video. It helps make so much sense of why Ghibli movies that that unique quality to them that makes the viewer feel like a child again.
What an incredibly well made video- i can really see and FEEL all the heart you have put into making it!
Miyazaki is one of the greatest film makes of all time and his work is timeless and unchanging
The fact that these notes in this particular pattern make hundreds of humans feel the same longing and nostalgia for something that doesn't exist....that's magic. That is what magic is.
I completely agree. I also think that music is pure communication
Truly a well-done video showcasing the beauty behind Miyazaki's works and endless struggles of an artist trying to bring something better into the world.
One truly learns to appreciate his films if they grew up with them. There is something about watching them first time as a kid and then coming back later as an adult.
Miyazaki's films are magical without a doubt, so inspired and beautifully animated
For some reason, I couldn't stop crying during this whole video. Miyazaki is able to get to the heart of so many issues and ideas. Great job putting this video together and highlighting why he's such an amazing creator.
That's why his movies hits so differently. Because even the people in the crowd he gives detail and importance
What draws me to ghibli time and again is the simple but realistic drawing style. The way the characters look coupled with the rich background full of detail. Then add in the way the charecters move and the way their hair and clothes move adding to the realism. After that the way the characters are written and the way they grow. The moments of pause/quiet to just take in the characters and what is going on. Lastly the music. All these things together make ghibli so compelling.
Wow! What a striking documentary, respecting the pace and beauty of his work. I hope he's seen it.
cry counter: 3
I grew up with Hayao's movies, I think the music of Joe Hishaishi is also important for the final product.
And what can I say? I love Ghibli I'm so grateful that my parents decided to show me these movies.
It ended up making me who I am, teaching me that "live is worth living" and the "principles" that his characters follow.
So, Thanks Dad, Mom for making me part of this, Thanks Hayao, Isao, Goro and the Ghibli staff for making this amazing work of art, Thanks Joe for providing such great music for these movies. and also Thank You for making this video, I enjoyed it so much
1:32 Hideaki Anno: director of EVANGELION
He was an animator of Nausicaä.
The UA-cam algorithm really nailed it this time! Fantastic video!!! Thanks so much for this, can't get enough Miyazaki content.
as a kid, ive never realised how amazing these movies were. it was just a comforting environment, but now i truly understand the magic behind miyazakis work
Terry Gilliam says that “the great film directors make you go home and think about it.”
When it comes to animation, Hayao Miyazaki definitely fits that description.
I bet everyone can find something personal in Miyazaki animation works. Something unique from your childhood. And simultaneously these things are universal. His movies make people closer and let to understand each other and beauty of the world. Each little creature has interesting personality to investigate as world has secrets to unclose.
he’s so intune with spirit. it makes sense why i loved these movies as a kid and can go back older and still attain knowledge. truly the work of a god.
Absolutely the best video about Studio Ghibli! Thank you ever so much!
I recently watched The Boy and The Heron and I came across your video while trying to lookup more about Miyazaki. You’ve made a brilliant and extremely concise, engaging and informative video. Needless to say, Miyazaki and Ghibli movies inspire me and this video fuelled my inspiration further.. thank you so much making this. You’re amazing!
Thank you for making this video...I truely have tears in my my eyes, tears of happyness and sadness...I dont know..
I love listending to his talking because it is so inspiring and true to me. And I love listening to people, who love the people who I love too.
The amount of work and dedication that went into these movies is absolutely insane.
This world of ours is so lucky to have him. He is the true gift of storytelling. Hands down.
to describe him as a genius is an understatement. just like van gogh, i believe he's an artist who gave birth to a dancing star.
What a great and insightful video! Thank you so much for this. And thank you Miyazaki because your work has been my safe space for so long.
I added this video in my watchlist one year ago, but I didn't feel like I was fully prepared to accept it into my spirit, so I waited. Today the day came, I felt ready to welcome it in my heart and mind: what I beautiful experience.
Thank you very much, I learnt a lot.
Hey i do that too lol
Thank-you so much for making this, you did a tremendous job. By the end I was on the verge of weeping. I only just watched "Castle in the Sky" and I've just wanted to continue feeling it, thinking about it, and to understand how such an incredible work was made. You really honored the Ghibli work here, in all the ways in which it is extraordinary. My tanks are full now, thanks again
The moment the little girl said "Thank you for Howl movie" makes me teary
So sweet
The beauty otherwise unnoticed is why I love and connect with ghibli films so much. And why they are my comfort films, my movies when I need to feel inspired or motivated or just feel grateful for the life I’m living. Also, his characters are so passionate and hardworking. I wish to be like them.
When hayao stated that he does not agree to the notion that happiness is the goal of life, i was reminded of what namjoon said: "Happiness is not something you have to achieve. You can still be happy during the process of achieving something"
I just watched the documentary "10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki" that you borrowed a lot of clips from. I have a whole new level of respect and appreciation for him now, not that he wasn't on the top for me before watching it.
They’re a great insight into Hayao Miyazaki absolutely 🙏🏻 yes they’re all cited at the end in credits
Do you have the link?
@@darrenkhosasi1252 just google "NHK 10 years with Hayao Miyazaki".
I think this is the best video about one of the best directors.
*Congratulations*
Wow, thank you very much
I was to young too, I didn’t appreciate them that much at first, I rewatched them all multiple times and they inspired me.
You are a master editor, Any-Mation! The documentary was glorious!!! This was so informative and inspirational. All the tid-bits of his life you added in, for me, were very educational, being a creative getting into the world of entertainment. Thank you!!! I appreciate you and immense much love / gratitude to the Studio Ghibli family.
Thank you very much, that's really wonderful to hear! I'm glad to hear it helped inspire your creativity!
This is already one of my favourite videos on UA-cam.
thank you so much for making this video, you really captured many important things about his work. well done!
This was so lovely! You’re quickly becoming my new favorite channel.
I’m honoured, thank you
