A well-deserved master.

It is difficult to comprehensively evaluate such a master who has been in the industry for 30 years, has contributed countless good films, and provided rich spiritual food to mankind.

Try to talk about the differences between him and other cartoonists and directors from the perspective of fans who love Hayao Miyazaki.

Miyazaki's works are exquisitely crafted.

Although Hayao Miyazaki did not study painting, he has been working as an original painter in animation production in his early years. He has solid basic skills and gradually worked as a scene designer, art designer, screenwriter, director, etc.

Every feature film he directs is carefully crafted. Hayao Miyazaki makes animations with the same feelings (it’s feelings, you read that right) that make movies seriously. His films are distinguished from the theatrical versions of best-selling animations.

Some people say that he was the first to introduce humanistic plots into animation. I think he spent his life sculpting animation and used animation to express his own three views.

Miyazaki Hayao is obsessed with manuscript creation, and is very strict with the art design of characters, scenes, etc.;

He has strict requirements for the soundtrack. "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" unearthed Joe Hisaishi, who not only It has made his own work possible, and it has also made Hisaishi Joe famous, introducing high-quality classical soundtracks to animations;

"Miyazaki Hayao said that each of his animation works takes 5 years to complete, and he himself consciously At an advanced age, there may not be many "five years" in the future to complete the work before he decides to retire."

Miyazaki's works have a wide range of themes and universal values.

The many themes, wide range of topics, and strong humanistic concerns of Hayao Miyazaki's works are unparalleled not only among animation creators, but also among film directors.

In addition to the eternal theme of "love", his works involve war, humanity, revenge, destruction, hope, family, nature, life, innocence, etc., and use this to express his universal thoughts. values. Rich imagination, rigorous logic, and complete story.

Unlike Mamoru Oshii, another master who has also gained great influence around the world, Hayao Miyazaki's animation has a wider audience and the peak period of creation lasts longer. The pioneering work "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" has a very high starting point, "My Neighbor Totoro" is tender and beautiful, "Princess Mononoke" is majestic and "Spirited Away" is a masterpiece. If you count from "My Neighbor Totoro" in 1988 to "Howl's Moving Castle" in 2004, the peak period lasted nearly 20 years, and there were almost no works of poor quality.

Most of Hayao Miyazaki's movies have a strong sense of substitution.

The audience can easily integrate into his films and share the joys and sorrows. This may be due to the harmony of the painting style, music, and story, it may be because the protagonists of the story are mostly girls, it may be because of the romantic style, or it may be because the realistic meaning easily hits us, or it evokes something in our hearts or More or less childlike.

When we watch most good works such as "The Godfather", "Lord of the Rings", "Infernal Affairs", "District 9", etc., whether we are intoxicated by the acting skills, amazed by the background, lamenting the tricks of fate, or It is difficult to have a strong sense of involvement when tasting the story. The sense of substitution is an ability, and Miyazaki Hayao has this ability. When reading his works, it is easy to think of yourself as the protagonist of the story or a person in the story. How many people fantasize about having a Totoro, and how many people want to have Hal. Castle, how many people are looking for themselves like Qianxun.
