Hayao Miyazaki Films



hayao1It started when I was about 25 years old. I saw ” Castle in the Sky”.

That was an unusual experience because I did not like animation at all until then, but the movie I saw was beyond my comprehension to animation. Hayao Miyazaki’s movie was not only a beautiful animation but a high standard movie with strong message for adults too.

I had been thinking animation is like a toy for kids, but it was my mistake. His animation is a work of art. Of course children also can enjoy his animation. On the other hand, his animation movies give us adults a kind of basic sense of humanity.

First of all, Hayao Miyazaki is the greatest animation creator in Japan. With no doubt, I think, this is true and it will not change in the future. I, like all the average Japanese, am always waiting for his new movie to come out. It’s a thrilling experience all the time to see his new art works.

His animation is beyond the art, it’s like what only the genius can bring it into being. Pictures, stories, and the concept are always stimulating to our brain and also heartwarming.

His works bring us what we usually forget in the daily life, but everyone surely has. It’s a refreshing surprise and tear-dropping moment too.

I’m very much influenced bu his works and life concept. Here it’s my pleasure to write about his works as myself grows with them day by day.
