Hayao Miyazaki. Animator of God Bashny.Net

The future cartoonist born January 5, 1941. Hayao was the second of four sons in a family of Miyazaki's father - the director of the company for the production of aircraft engines, the mother - a beautiful, educated woman.
Senior pupils he saw the cartoon "The Legend of White Snake" production studio Toei. The impression of moving images-images turned lifelong future multiplier. But the young Hayao learned not to the artist or designer - he successfully graduated in "political science and economics».
Animation did not release all of Hayao, and he attended the circle reading fairy tales. Since the author was awarded an impressive store of knowledge about the legends, epics, legends and myths.





By 1963, Miyazaki animation in life still "outweighed" serious science. He just comes in and gets the studio Toei assistant animator. Here he met with Isao Takahata, the person with whom together will go through all the failures and ultimately create their own animation studio "Jibla» (Ghibli).
In 1982, Miyazaki began to publish the novel in pictures "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind." Publishers put his condition not to film "Nausicaa", but soon they themselves were asked to remove a fifteen-minute episode. Animator refused to do the film length is less than an hour, and in the end it was decided that a full-length, two-hour movie. History of medieval princess with exotic scenery, knights, tanks, air battles, insects tall with a house with ecological theme and grand philosophical sound literally shook Japan. So sorokatrehletny Miyazaki has become a classic.
Throughout his career, Hayao Miyazaki has affected many topics, used a variety of tones and registers. Satire, epic, elegy magically intertwined in his paintings, completely immersing you into an enchanting fantasy game ... So the master was able to find a way to not only the minds but also the hearts of the audience. If he told the children about the world in their own language, the adults have the road on which you can go on a visit to childhood.



"Animation - is not that when you take a pencil and draw a smooth, correct line. Animation - when you're trying to find the line that is hidden inside of yourself ».



"I should not talk about it" - confessed president studios «Walt Disney» Michael Eisner, - "but" Totoro "has long been a favorite movie of my children. It has some difficult to define words magic. Before the film was released in the US on the video, at my house it was a cassette in Japanese. Once they found her children. Although it was not clear Japanese dialogue, the film fascinated them. I can not count how many times they saw him ».



Once, in an interview with novelist Ryu Murakami, Miyazaki long tried to explain what draws girls, not because it has certain tendencies, but because a grown man can not in principle be the hero of any story, because, when faced with evil, he is always looking for who would shoot off his head, and it is - a vicious way.



Of course, we have to have a studio and computer department. But I always tell them: "Try to work sloppy, do not aspire to the perfect lines. We're here to build a secret and the secret is never perfect ».



2001 for the Hayao Miyazaki and the whole world saw the film "Spirited Away". This colorful and exotic tale of the adventures of a ten-year girl in a magical world, but Miyazaki and then remains true to himself, trying to make the audience got not only joy but also for the benefit of his worldview.
The film "Spirited Away" had a great success in Japan and quite incredible abroad: Berlin Film Festival Award, and later the "Oscar" in the category "Best Animated Film".



The last five years of Japanese animator waited wildest fantasies and violent - in general, they have it, and strong. But the light appeared realistic biography aircraft Jiro Horikoshi. Here Jiro - not fabulous hero, but a real man, ungainly, faulty, often unfortunate, madly devoted sky. But hardly be taken as a picture only biopic about a historical figure. Miyazaki always looking deeper - aircraft here as animation allows violate the boundaries of space and finally make perhaps the most perilous journey - in the depths of his own soul.



You need to look at the world through the eyes, not clouded by hatred. Ignore the bad in good and good in bad. Do not give in advance your choice of any one side, but try to maintain a balance exists between them.

We portray on screen hatred, but it is necessary to show the existence of more important things. We depict a curse, to show the joy of liberation.
Never going to make movies that will tell the children: "You should give up and surrender».
Solid world is created of many small pieces. And chaos.
Is there any difference between a person in 18 and 60 years old? I believe in the soul, we remain the same.
Modern life is empty, barren and false. I look forward to when developers go bankrupt, Japan will become poorer, and from the land of the wild grass sprout.



Nowadays, when the screen shows the evil, then it will certainly be destroyed. In my opinion, this is a disgusting trend. The principle which states that for every crime committed necessarily be punished someone specific, does not act in our life and in politics.
Our life - a flickering light in the darkness.
I think the Disney studio abandoned the use of hand-drawn animation, simply because it has released too many undistinguished cartoons. She became conservative in their work. And this is bad. In my opinion, 2D- and 3D-animation can get along well together.
If the hand-drawn animation - a dying craft, so we can not do anything about it. Civilization has to move on. Where are all the artists who create murals? Where is the landscape artists? Our world is changing. And I was very lucky that I was able to carry out their work for over forty years. In our era, it is very rare.
In fact, I believe that computer animation has the potential to match or even surpass what you can draw hands. But I'm too old to sit down at the computer.



When I think about how computers are completely replaced some aspects of our lives, it makes me sad. When we did the animation of fire, some of my employees admitted that they had never seen the burning firewood. I told them: "So go and see!" Earlier in the Japanese baths used wood, and now only need to press a button. But how can you become an animator, having no such experience?
In the past, people were not so easy to decide to take another life, not even human. But now society has changed, and it is based on different principles. With the growth of our possibilities we become arrogant and have lost the true meaning of the phrase "I have no choice." The very essence of our civilization - is the desire to get rich in spite of everything, taking the lives of other creatures.
I would like to create a picture that will explain to our children as well be alive.
I am very pessimistic person. But when, for example, someone from my staff have a child, I wish him the best of the future. After all, I do not tell the child: "You know, you should not have to appear in this light." But I do understand that the world is moving in the wrong direction. And with these conflicting thoughts in my head and I think about what movies should do.
Do your own hands, even when using the computer.



How do I work? I am thinking. Thought. And again conceive. If you find a more efficient way, be sure to let me know.
We live in an era when simply buy the rights to the film than to create it from scratch.
We are unable to choose the time and place of our birth. We choose a way of life and lose the opportunity to see where we would have resulted in countless other roads. And I think that for this reason the fantastic worlds of cartoons so exactly coincide with our hopes and aspirations. They illustrate the world of our lost opportunities.
What role did my work in contemporary popular culture? Frankly, I have little idea about it. The only thing that I watch constantly - this forecast.
I never read reviews of critics. They told me just not particularly interesting. Observe the reaction of the audience - is another matter.
I really like what they do illustrators Pixar. Studio Ghibli is not competing with them, our friendly relations.
In many of my films have a strong heroine - brave, self-sufficient women who fight for what they believe with all my heart. They need a friend or a helper, but definitely not the savior. I believe that every woman can be a hero to the same extent as men.



I create characters, watching the female staff in the studio Ghibli. Many of them are not even aware that to some extent serve as a prototype for the characters in my films.
In 1999, I mentioned that I was going to retire. But life is not so simple. Then I realized that I needed to do at least one more film specifically for the daughters of my friends and for all adolescents. And my answer was "Spirited Away».
I resigned myself to the fact that I can be useful only in their craft. But there was a time when I felt obligated to engage in public issues. In my youth I naively joined the socialist movement. When I saw the poster of Mao Zedong, his face seemed to me disgusting. And I said, "You what? This is a man with a big heart. " I thought, "Well, maybe it's just a bad picture." How I was wrong then. And it was not the only time. All my life I have learned from my own mistakes.
I'm an animator. I feel like a foreman friendly animation workshop, not a large overbearing boss. This is the philosophy of my work.
In "Ponyo on the cliff," I talked about the pollution of the environment, but just pointless rant about it. Better not sit and complain, and get up and pick up trash. Incidentally, I do it, and every morning at my house on the river bank. And this time I spend with pleasure.



My favorite part of "Ponyo" - this is the final credits. You will not find them any guidance office. Only in alphabetical order the names of all who made the film arm. And large investors, and the youngest workers were represented equally in them. There's even possible to find nicknames three stray cats that live near the studio.
Planes are fine when they are in the air. Once, I almost bought from the United States one of the classic aircraft Zero, because I wanted to see how it flies over high voltage wires from the studio Ghibli. But my wife recommended me to stop being an idiot, so it did not happen.
One of the main themes of my work - nostalgia. This is one of the most common feelings. And it's one of those things that makes us human. When I looked at the tape Andrei Tarkovsky's "Nostalgia", I realized how much it is universal.
I believe that children's souls inherit the historical memory of previous generations. Just as they mature, and knowledge of the world of this memory is less and less. And if I can make a film that will awaken her, then die a happy man.
