Hayao Miyazaki | The Mind of a Master

Miyazaki while making the movie: 😠🏴‍☠️⛓😾😡🗡❌ The movie: 🌺🌸🌼🌻🍀🌴🌿🐸🦄☀️🍱💛✨

it makes SO much sense to learn that Miyazaki starts with sketches and images and not a script!! That revelation is mind-blowing.

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.

"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

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.

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.

17:44 "Thanks for the Howl Movie" OH GOD, MY HEART!

“I want to teach children that life is worth living” sir ur teaching me even as an adult life is worth living, during all my darkest times 😔✋💞💞

30 minutes of glorious miyazaki

"you see, what drives animation is the will of the characters. you don't depict fate, you depict will. even if fate exists."

The title: "Hayao Miyazaki: The Mind of a Master" also Miyazaki: * walks out his son's own movie and smokes a cig *

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.

I hope he knows the big impact he's made in our lives

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.

"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!

That little girl thanking him is all of us. :)

This man is a gift from God to humanity! Masterpiece after masterpiece!

no wonder he's considered a national treasure

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!
