It is called the main fairy tale of modernity, the good wizard and the genius of the dying art of hand drawn animation. Japanese Animator Director, artist and writer Hayao Miyazake - Personality in Eastern complex. It combines charismaticness and restrained wisdom, inflexibility and principle of humanism, faith in good and miracles at current times. About his ideals, heroes and misunderstanding hope for the best - in short and accurate statements of the master.
1. About faith and life
Even among hate and endless slaughter, it is worth living, still worth it! It is possible, excellent meetings, beautiful things, great accomplishments happen. Be sure to live!
Our life is like wind, like sounds. We come to this world, resonate with each other ... then disappear.
The greatness of the mind is always determined by the depth of his suffering.
Always believe in yourself. Do it regularly, and then, wherever you find yourself, with anyone to be, - you have nothing to be afraid.
Problems begin with our very appearance. We are born with endless opportunities, but refuse them - in favor of others. Choose one thing - it means to give up the other. It's unavoidable. What can you do? Just live.
Do we, eighteen-year-old, differ from us, sixty-year-old? It seems to me that inside we always remain unchanged.
Life is a flashing light in the dark.
2. About work
I'm trying to get to the bottom of my well subconscious. And at a certain point, a certain lid opens, and different ideas, vision, fantasy overlook. So I begin to make my films. But, perhaps, it is better to keep this cover closed, because when you let go of our subconscious mind, it becomes difficult to live in society, in the family.
If manually hand drawn animation is dying art, then we can not do anything about it. Civilization moves on. Where are the artists, drawing frescoes, now? Where are the landscape players? What are they busy? The world is changing. I was very lucky, having the opportunity to draw manually for forty years. This is a rare gift in any era.
Do it manually, even when using a computer. Work with your hands!
We live in an era, when cheaper to buy the right to show the film than to create it.
My task is to think, think and think. Think of my stories for a long time.
3. About your films
I believe in virtue of the story, fairy tales. I am confident that they play an important role in the process of forming a person. They stimulate, surprise, inspire. Do better.
Many of my heroes are brave, brave, self-sufficient girls. They will not think twice, rushing to do what they believe all their hearts. They will need another, in a supporter, but never in the Savior. So in life: any woman can become such a hero.
I am skeptical about the uncommitable rule, which says: If a boy and a girl appear in the frame, a romance will certainly follow. I want to show the other side of the relationship - such, where one inspires the other for life. If I succeed, it seems that it will be a more accurate and high definition of love.
The idea to portray evil, so that subsequently destroy it - the main one in cinema and animation, but it seems to me that this concept is thorn fake. Whenever evil brand and punish, I understand: it is not suitable for real life.
My villains are part of me. For many years I wondered what it would be if all these negative characters performed on the side of my main characters. It would be nice. I can understand the anger of all my created villains.
I am not going to make movies that would say to children: "You must despair and run away. This is normal". I would like to create a picture that would tell them how beautiful to be alive.
4. About the world in which we live
In our world and the sparrow should live like a hawk if he wants to fly.
You may not like what is happening around you. Just accept it, try to live next to others. Even if you feel anger, be patient. Let's try to suffer a little, let's try to live in the world. I realized that this is the only right way forward.
The modern world is a neat and fine fake for a real life. I look forward to a big impatience when large corporations will ruin, Japan will become poorer and grow around wild herbs.
You must look at the world with unmoccient hate eyes. To see good in bad, bad - in good. Take it for yourself to take any side, but not to give any vows, but only try to keep the balance and stay in it.
