| 1. he had that on a sign in his studio, while making "Spirited Away". He didn't say it in an interview or anything |
 "The sun is my enemy, but the moon has been good to me." |
e_hoba said: 2. His message in his works before Ghibli. In his earlier work, Future Boy Conan, Hayao Miyazaki depicted his utopian socialistic dream. We often talk about his later message such as children, industry, nature, or society, but I suppose I don't see much discussion about his socialistic aspect. It is a very important key to analyzing his later works like Princess Mononoke. What do you think about his view on social system? You kind of hit the nail there. http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/miyazaki/101.html#beliefs As the source says, he officially abandoned Marxism somewhere in the late 80s-early 90s, but I'd say there's still something of this in his later works, or at the very least, a strong anti-capitalist view. |
| 1. That NY Times article is the earliest source I can find and searching 宮崎駿名言 コンピュータ doesn't thrown up anything helpful either so it's not a well-known quote in Japan. I'm guessing Charles Solomon actually visited the studio and saw it himself? 2. "What do you think about his view on social system?" I more or less agree with all of his political ideologies. I also agree that looking at how his ideologies present themselves in his works is key to analysing and understanding them on a literary level, but the same can be said of any piece of work by anyone so I don't think it matters too much if a general audience is unaware of his (quite vocal) political side. |
