Introduction: In order to avoid the war, the Miyazaki Hayao family moved from Tokyo to the countryside of Tochigi Prefecture in the northeast. This rural life has a decisive influence on his later creation. 1958 Japan's first animated film "The Legend of the White Snake" was released. Young Miyazaki Hayao decided to devote himself to animation.
Most of Miyazaki Hayao's works are imaginative, but they have profound meanings. This morality actually begins with dissatisfaction with reality. Miyazaki Hayao once said that Tokyo (Japan) is a money worshipper, and people refuse to give up the consciousness that "money talks". To this end, Miyazaki Hayao said: "I hope to save the falling soul of mankind through more profound works again." Therefore, although the theme of each of Miyazaki Hayao's works is different, it integrates these reflective information, such as dreams, environmental protection, life and survival. Miyazaki Hayao's persistence not only awakened people all over the world, but also attracted the attention of Japanese animation all over the world. Even Disney, the animation kingdom in the United States, has to introduce the distribution rights of animated films in Miyazaki Hayao (except Asia). Miyazaki Hayao made Japanese animation world-famous, which was absolutely indispensable.

Miyazaki Hayao, the Lonely Master of Japanese Animation
2001February 7 18:30:26 reported by Netease.
Speaking of Miyazaki Hayao, the first thing that comes to mind is not wayward natural wind, transparent and clear water, changing clouds, flying, girls, magic, or even the eternal theme of nature and human beings, but another person who is a master like Miyazaki Hayao: Jin Yong.
The same profound knowledge, the same deep and heavy support, the same unprecedented literary form that is considered popular, naive or even low-level has become a classic, dissecting the world and dissecting itself, and finally reaching the point of loneliness.
Just like Jin Yong's process from "Martial Arts" to "Heroes" to "No Chivalrous Man" and then to "Anti-Chivalrous Man", Miyazaki Hayao's cartoons also show similar milestones. Miyazaki Hayao's six cartoons, Valley of the Wind, City in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Witch's Home Delivery, Red Pig and Ghost Princess, together with the cartoon masterpiece Valley of the Wind, which best represents the process of Miyazaki Hayao's ideological transformation, have left traces of Miyazaki Hayao's own interpretation of the world universe and human nature.
However, if we want to recall completely, let's slow down and start from the beginning. ...
Miyazaki Hayao, 194 1 was born in Tokyo, ranking the second among the four brothers. Miyazaki Hayao's mother is a strict and clever woman, which has a great influence on Miyazaki Hayao's life. Anyone who has seen City in the Sky will probably never forget the cunning and lovely pirate mother-in-law. Although she looks different, the personality of one piece's mother-in-law is quite similar to Miyazaki Hayao's mother. In the past 47 years, the gloomy and miserable family caused by the mother's tuberculosis has also left a shadow in My Neighbor Totoro. Miyazaki Hayao, who loved comics since childhood, often liked to draw some warships and planes, but many years ago, he dreamed of flying on rough paper. That magical little boy probably didn't expect that he could really become a veteran of the animation industry one day, did he?
Speaking of movies that really ignited Miyazaki Hayao's interest in animation, maybe everyone will think of an old movie that described the cruel ice queen, the boy's ice heart and the girl's tears that dissolved it. Yes, in retrospect, no matter the characters, the original paintings or the plot, it is just an antique-level naive Russian cartoon "The Snow Queen"! ! It was this animation that ignited the creative flame in Miyazaki Hayao's heart. Even a few years later, he is still full of reverence and memories: "I saw how cautious and cherished animation is."
1In the autumn of 965, he volunteered to help the Prince of the Sun directed by Takada Xun as the scene design and original painting, thus embarking on the "no return" of animation production. Although if you look back now, "Prince of the Sun" doesn't care.
From the production and characters to the plot and music, it is almost ridiculously naive, just like our Prince Haier, but it is Miyazaki Hayao's "debut" after all. Since then, Miyazaki Hayao has been sticking to his own animation road. Even though his monthly salary is meager and his family expenses are increasing, he has no regrets.
1978, Miyazaki Hayao's first work, Future Youth Conan, was broadcast, which was well received. The adventure film style of Miyazaki Hayao's future teenagers has been greatly displayed in this film. This is the period when Miyazaki Hayao's style and thoughts gradually formed. Romantic temperament and courage to take risks, pure youth and growing mood ... Miyazaki Hayao finally began to enter the dream he had always dreamed of.
1982 is an important year in the eyes of Miyazaki Hayao fans, because it is the moment when The Valley of the Wind began to be serialized in Animage magazine of German bookstore. This cartoon, which began a thousand years after the destruction of civilization, has been serialized to 1994. Princess Nowitzka, a small border country in the valley of the wind, wandered in the rotten sea forest, met the ill-fated king worm and was involved in the human war. This seven-volume cartoon, which lasted 12 years, not only contains an epic chapter, a journey to find life and death, and profound philosophical thinking about human beings and nature, but also is the crystallization of Miyazaki Hayao's long-term and in-depth thinking about environmental protection and humanism. It can be said that we should realize that Miyazaki Hayao has changed from caring about the environment to questioning the justice of "environmental protection", from caring about human beings, thinking about the growth process of young people until middle age, to questioning and interpreting the origin and significance of human beings, and finally put forward that "life is a shining lamp in the dark" at the moment of chaos and darkness, so no matter how difficult it is, we must "live!" The "ultimate meaning" is all embodied in this profound and magnificent cartoon. Therefore, to spy out the development process of Miyazaki Hayao Thought, the cartoon Valley of the Wind is the simplest and most flexible method.
The theatrical animation Valley of the Wind was released in March. 1984. Although the content of the animated film "Valley of the Wind" is only a little more than that of comics due to the limitation of film length and tolerance, and as a representative of Miyazaki Hayao animation, the film's obvious emotional ending and religious complex have been criticized by film critics, but its rich imagination and profound content have shocked the audience and the whole film industry. The image of the heroine Nausicaa became the first popular heroine, and it was not surpassed until more than ten years later, which has to be said to be a miracle.
"Valley of the Wind" embodies many characteristics of Miyazaki Hayao's animation production, such as exquisite pictures, colorful characters, humorous dialogue and positive spirit ... which make Miyazaki Hayao's reputation as a national animator suitable for all ages. In the film, because of the ignorant war and excessive plunder of human beings, the nature of self-attack is reflected. Rot, which is composed of giant fungi, emits toxic gases because of toxins produced by human beings, and is regarded as a biblical collection by environmentalists. Miyazaki Hayao's status as a leader of "environmentalism" was thus determined.
From 65438 to 0985, Studio Ghibli, where Miyazaki Hayao was located, began to produce City in the Sky. The background is the industrial revolution 19 world Europe. Accompanied by the kind and brave little boy Pazu, the lovely and innocent little girl Shu Da looks for her lost hometown. At the end of the journey, she finally realized that no matter the progress of science and technology or the development of mankind, people can't live without land. The theme of man and nature is further reflected here, and the ultimate destruction of La Plata, a great city floating in the air, seems to warn the world that in the century of machinery and steel, it is actually facing an uncertain future.
My Neighbor Totoro in 1988 and the witch house gang in 1990 can be regarded as transitional chapters in Miyazaki Hayao's works. On the one hand, Miyazaki Hayao's focus has gradually shifted from nature to human beings. On the other hand, because his past works are fantastic worlds full of visual impact, Miyazaki Hayao's world seems to be only tense plots and illusory time and space. My Neighbor Totoro gave up all exaggerated performances and complicated plots, while The Witch's Home focused on ordinary people and the world around them. My Neighbor Totoro's description of family affection and the meticulous description of girls' growth in "The Witch's Home Delivery" make people feel cordial and moved.
1992, Miyazaki Hayao's Red Pig came out, which is a very important work of Miyazaki Hayao, but it is often overlooked. In fact, whether from the work itself or from its significance to Miyazaki Hayao's creative career, this is a work that cannot be ignored. Just like Jin Yong's "the legendary swordsman" entered the stage of "no chivalry", it has always been regarded as a Miyazaki Hayao animation "describing simple people and simple stories, full of anti-urban complex, attaching importance to environmental protection, full of love and profound and broad, suitable for the whole family to watch". From then on, it didn't suddenly start to change until 1997. Although from the appearance, this story, set in Italy in the 1920s, describes the story of a pig named Red Pig, which alludes to the growing process of middle age. No matter from beautiful pictures, warm and beautiful music, or relaxed and humorous plots, they all bear the obvious special trademark of "Miyazaki Hayao's production must be fine", but Miyazaki Hayao, who has always been a teenager, especially a beautiful and lively girl, has always been the protagonist. Although Fei E, a red-haired girl in the film, plays the role of an encourager who brings light and hope to the red pig, the so-called growth of middle-aged people is nothing more than "although many things cannot be changed, as long as you like yourself, you can make life different". Miyazaki Hayao's optimism has been changing. In particular, although Miyazaki Hayao's films were not satisfactory from the beginning of Valley of the Wind, it was the first time that an almost unreasonable ending like Red Pig appeared. Therefore, it should be from this time that Miyazaki Hayao entered into a profound reflection on all his previous works, on "environmental protection", "humanity" and humanity, and the end of this reflection was directly reflected in the cartoon "Valley of the Wind" published by 1994. That's why Miyazaki Hayao himself said that if she let go of her temperament, Princess Ghost might become a movie about "You don't know this alive, so you don't have to be shocked by the appearance of Princess Ghost five years later". Although it seems a little hard and obscure because it has been reduced from the initial five hours to more than two hours, and despite too many emotional plays for commercial purposes, the characterization is not as good as Miyazaki Hayao's previous works. Princess Ghost is still the pinnacle of Miyazaki Hayao's production, a work of Miyazaki Hayao puzzling over the relationship between heaven and man, and Miyazaki Hayao, who has no answer, faces the only hope that can be seen in this era. Therefore, this story, set in the Muromachi era when Japan began to invade the mountain forest, can only be explained by describing the developing war between the materialized race and human beings in the mountain forest. There is no usual happy ending at the end of the film. Only when Ashitaka said to Xiao Sang, "Let's live together" and realized that the war is far from over can we really understand it. This is Miyazaki Hayao, who overthrew the ideals and idealism he had been preaching even if he was not convinced. He smiled helplessly, expecting no answer. The dignity of life, the inviolability of nature, everything I believed in before, all vanished at this time. Without support, Miyazaki Hayao, who didn't know what the future would be like, threw the question back to the audience. The theme of "to live" has also become a constant but ever-changing idea, which has penetrated into everyone's heart.
Since 1984' s "Valley of the Wind" established the status of Miyazaki Hayao's animation master, 13' s mental journey has finally come to an end. Miyazaki Hayao's world has not given the world a clear answer. Are we a "cursed race"? Will adapting to the evolution of nature be our only way out? Is there only darkness in our hearts, our past and future? Perhaps the so-called answer itself is not practical. However, there is only one thing that can be done. Is to firmly believe that life is the most important and beautiful.
So, anyway, please, live!
