Brief introduction of Miyazaki Hayao

Miyazaki Hayao (1941)/kloc-0 was born in Tokyo on October 5th, ranking second among the four brothers. Their family originally lived in bunkyo-ku, Tokyo. Later, due to the evacuation during World War II, the family moved to Utsunomiya and Kashima. My uncle who lives in Kashima City runs an airplane factory, and Miyazaki Hayao's father is in charge of this factory. Miyazaki Hayao's mother is a strict and clever woman, which has a great influence on Miyazaki Hayao's life. Miyazaki Hayao's younger brother later recalled that when he saw the pirate's mother-in-law in City in the Sky, he couldn't help thinking of his mother. Although she doesn't look like her at all, she is very similar in character.

Miyazaki Hayao primary school studies in Utsunomiya primary school from grade one to grade three. Later, they moved back to Tokyo and went to school in Tokyo. 1947, Miyazaki Hayao's mother suffered from tuberculosis and stayed in bed for nine years. From the movie My Neighbor Totoro, we can see the shadow of the gloomy days of the Miyazaki Hayao family.

1958, The Legend of the White Snake, the first full-length color film animation in Japanese film history, was released. Miyazaki Hayao, who was a senior three student at that time, was fascinated by this film, and he became interested in animation. Miyazaki Hayao used to like to draw some warships and planes, but he was not very good at drawing people. He also decided to become a cartoonist. Even a few years later, he is still full of pious memories: "I saw how hard and cherished animation is."

After graduating from high school, Miyazaki Hayao entered Tokyo University, majoring in political economy. 1963, graduated from Miyazaki Hayao University and entered the animation work of Dongying. The first work involved in the production was the theatrical animation "Wan Wan Zhong Chen Tibet", which was released in June 5438+February of the same year. Then Miyazaki Hayao participated in the first TV animation "Wolf Child Ken" produced by Dongying for the first time.

At that time, some of his plans were often rejected, but Miyazaki Hayao stuck to his ideals. After watching the Russian cartoon "dairy queen", Miyazaki Hayao's creative enthusiasm is even higher. Later, he recalled: "I saw how cautious and cherished animation is ... animation is a pure and simple art, and we can express it through imagination ... its power will not be lost to other art forms such as poetry, novel or drama."

1964, Miyazaki Hayao became the secretary general of Dongying Animation Labor Association, and Gao Tianxun was the vice chairman of the association at that time-it is said that Miyazaki Hayao was a socialist. That year, Miyazaki Hayao started dating his colleague, Miss Ota. 1In the autumn of 965, Miyazaki Hayao volunteered to help the production team of Prince of the Sun directed by Gao Tianxun with the scene design and original painting. This is the beginning of their cooperation and the first step of Miyazaki Hayao's animation career. In the same year 10, Miyazaki Hayao married Miss Jumei Ota, and they had their first son in 1967 1 0. After the release of Prince of the Sun 1968, Miyazaki Hayao and his wife participated in the production of puss in boots. In the second year, the two men participated in the production of "Flying Thunder Boat". 1April, 969, the second son was born.

197 1 year, Miyazaki Hayao left Japan Animation and joined Gao Tianxun and Yoichi Oda to work in A-Pro. 1973, the animation Panda, co-produced by him and Gao Tianxun, was released. In this work, Miyazaki Hayao has four roles-original case, script, scene design and original painting, and his personal style has been greatly exerted. In June, Miyazaki Hayao, Gao Tianxun and Xiaobu left "A-Pro" and joined "Zuiyo Picture". In July, Miyazaki Hayao went to Switzerland to shoot location, seeking inspiration for his next work Heidi in the Alps, where he served as scene design and picture composition. 1975 went to Italy and Argentina for location shooting, prepared to make "Looking for Mother in Three Thousand Miles" and served as a scene designer.

1978, Miyazaki Hayao's first work was broadcast on NHK, which was well received. This film shows Miyazaki Hayao's thoughts and styles. The teenager known as "Conan" has a pair of useful feet besides his hands. When people see Conan's energetic movements, they will unconsciously have a hard-working mood. The composition of the story, as well as the lovely characters with personality, is fascinating. Different from the large-scale animation described through series, the fun of the work lies in Conan's growth, and almost all women think Conan is an "ideal son". But with the development of the story, Conan, who has always been a wild child in the eyes of women, said, "I want to go back to Coral Water Island, and then I hope to come with Lana again." We can see from this passage that he has grown into a mature man. I don't mean "I want to be together", but "I hope to be together again"

The structural composition of Haihua Dam, which lived in nature by relying on the old civilization of Italy, was inherited by Miyazaki Hayao's later works. This is the first TV series produced by Miyazaki Hayao in the animation broadcast by NHK. This is the period when Miyazaki Hayao's style and thoughts gradually formed: romantic temperament and adventurous spirit, pure youth and growing mood.

1979, Miyazaki Hayao entered the Tokyo Film News Agency, and 1980 directed "The City of Lubang III Cariostro" (theatrical version), which once again showed the adventurous film style of "future teenagers".

1982 is an important year for Miyazaki Hayao fans. The long cartoon Valley of the Wind began to be serialized in Animage magazine of German-Chinese Bookstore until 1994. This 7-volume cartoon, serialized in 12 years, not only contains an epic chapter, a journey across life and death, and profound philosophical thinking on human beings and nature, but also is the crystallization of Miyazaki Hayao's long-term and in-depth thinking on 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 flickering light 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.

It was also in this year that Miyazaki Hayao met another person who influenced his life, and that was the famous Yasuyoshi Tokuma. As the president of Japan's largest bookstore, Tiejian keenly discovered Miyazaki Hayao's talent and funded Miyazaki Hayao and Takada to set up studios. In the same year 1 1, Miyazaki Hayao quit Tokyo Film News Agency and became a freelance writer. From 65438 to 0983, the animated version of "Valley of the Wind" directed by Miyazaki Hayao began to be planned, with Gao Tianxun as the producer and Topcraft Studio responsible for the production of the whole film. In July of the same year, Miyazaki Hayao's mother died at the age of 7 1 year.

1March, 984, the theatrical animation "Valley of the Wind" was released, which concentrated many characteristics of Miyazaki Hayao's animation, exquisite pictures, colorful characters, humorous dialogue and positive spirit ... All these made Miyazaki Hayao's reputation as a national animator suitable for all ages rise. The film reflects the nature of self-attack because of the ignorant war and excessive plunder of human beings. 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. Although the content of the animated film Valley of the Wind is only a little more than the comic plot due to the limitation of film length and tolerance, and as the representative work of Miyazaki Hayao's animation in a smooth period, 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. In April, Miyazaki Hayao and Gao Tianxun established Ghibli's predecessor "Ermali" Club with German support.

With the release of The Valley of the Wind, the film Sherlock Holmes' Sapphire Treasure at Sea, which was written by Miyazaki Hayao, was also released. Originally, this film was produced in cooperation with Italian TV, but it was stopped for some time because of copyright issues. In the film, Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective, turned out to be a German beagle, and Dr. Watson, the assistant, was a simple and honest Scottish long-haired dog, and the beautiful heroine Mrs. Hudson, a beautiful widow, was an English Yorkshire Terrier. Of course, villains are clever. The characters in the story are changed into animals, which is the privilege of cartoons. Since then, the film has been adapted into a TV animation, and at the same time, a special article "Conan the Future Youth" has been released.

1985, Studio Ghibli was founded and began to produce "City of the Sky". Since then, Miyazaki Hayao has started the most brilliant decade of his personal animation career, which is also a decade of great development of animation.

City in the Sky is a film adapted from Gulliver's Travels by jonathan swift. Some people think that its story is traditional, but this does not mean that it is not original. On the contrary, the city of the sky is full of many new elements. The film almost perfectly depicts the world landscape at the time of the story, which is a little sci-fi, a little myth, and a little industrial revolution in the European era, such as the old train on the elevated track and the dark mine. City in the sky, published on 1986, is Ghibli's pioneering work. Miyazaki Hayao has four important tasks: original work, producer, script and role setting, which makes this work infused with pure Miyazaki Hayao ideas from beginning to end. Miyazaki Hayao's music partner Joe Hisaishi also reached the peak of his music career at this time. In fact, the film discusses the theme of man and nature. 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. The release of "The Witch House Gang" also means that Ghibli became the beginning of box office guarantee, which attracted about 264 million viewers and became the highest box office movie in Japan that year.

The Red Pig was published in 1992. It 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. Miyazaki Hayao animation, which has long been regarded as "describing simple people and simple stories, full of anti-metropolis complex, attaching importance to environmentalism, full of deep and broad love and suitable for family watching", suddenly changed from then on, not 1997. Although from the appearance, this Italian story with the background of 1920s describes the story of a pig named Red Pig, which alludes to the growing process of middle age. No matter from exquisite pictures, warm and beautiful music or light and humorous plots, they all use the obvious special trademark of "Miyazaki Hayao's production must be fine", but they have always been teenagers. 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.

Knowing this, you don't have to be shocked by the "ghost princess" that appeared five years later. Although it is a bit hard and obscure because it has been reduced from the initial five hours to two hours, although too many emotional dramas have been added for commercial purposes, the characterization of the characters is not as good as Miyazaki Hayao's previous works. Princess Ghost is still Miyazaki Hayao's masterpiece and Miyazaki Hayao's painstaking work on the relationship between nature and human beings. Miyazaki Hayao, who has no answer to himself, is facing 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.

At one time, it was rumored that Miyazaki Hayao would retire after the production of Princess Ghost, instead of making cartoons. He once said that the work of directing animated films is simply painstaking. Due to physical problems, he can't personally direct some large-scale productions such as Princess Ghost, and it can also provide opportunities for young people. But this does not mean that he will give up his animation work. Miyazaki Hayao can also take part in some less tiring animation activities, such as scriptwriting and role setting.

Miyazaki Hayao, who announced his retirement after Princess Ghost, finally couldn't let go of the temptation of animation, retracted the closed-book declaration and announced plans to shoot a work with the theme of population and environment in the 20th century. So there was Spirited Away, which became the highest-grossing film in Japanese film history two months after its release, setting an unparalleled record.

Spirited Away, which was released on May 38, 2006+July, tells a short story of Chihiro's life, and tells how to gradually release her potential and overcome difficulties when facing difficulties. This is exactly what Miyazaki Hayao wants the audience to understand. Miyazaki Hayao himself thinks this is a film different from other stories in his past. In the past, the protagonists in his works were all his favorites, but this time Miyazaki Hayao deliberately shaped Chihiro into an ordinary figure, an ordinary typical ten-year-old Japanese girl, in order to let every ten-year-old girl see herself from Chihiro. She is not a beautiful girl, and there is nothing particularly attractive, but her timid character and listless appearance are even more annoying. When he first created the role, Miyazaki Hayao was a little worried about her, but at the end of the story, he was sure that Chihiro would become a pleasant character.

In 2002, Miyazaki Hayao established the "Ghibli Art Museum" in Sanying City, which is a place that all Miyazaki Hayao fans are eager to visit, but Miyazaki Hayao hopes that fewer people will come so that everyone can enjoy it better when they visit. Although it is an art museum, it actually feels like making a new movie and doing a lot of new things. In fact, it is a considerable project. Even if it is completed at present, it does not mean that it is over. It must continue. Miyazaki Hayao also set himself a goal for the summer of 2004, because economic depression, environmental problems, population expansion, terrorist acts and wars will make people feel uneasy and have no hope for the future. He thinks this situation will be more obvious in the summer of 2004. Therefore, children will have anxiety, doubts and curiosity at that time, and they must do it to solve those doubts. Miyazaki Hayao stressed: "In that case, what kind of movies should we give to the children who lived in that era? I must do it with this idea this time. "

Miyazaki Hayao began to draw cartoons when he was a child, and worshipped the cartoonist Osamu Tezuka. However, in the later creative process, he found that he had only painted a replica of Osamu Tezuka, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not break through the shackles. Therefore, Miyazaki Hayao criticized Osamu Tezuka's cartoons for undermining the development of Japanese animation industry.

Goodbye Firefly: At the end of the movie Goodbye Firefly by Japanese animator Miyazaki Hayao, spring is like this. Brother Qingtai lit firewood and burned the small rattan coffin where his sister's body was located. Miss Qing said to herself, I don't have any parents or sisters anymore. QX+7w $\RT

I saw spring in watercolor paintings, a scene of crowing, everything reviving and thriving. If the little girl can survive this spring, then maybe I can see another ending. Compassion tells me that I shouldn't let this little girl die, and I can't let this little girl die. However, what Miyazaki Hayao showed me in this cartoon is such an out-and-out tragedy. The lovely little girl Jiezi just doesn't belong to this spring when everything recovers. In Miyazaki Hayao's animation, the more the little girl's holiday arouses thousands of pity, the more heartbreaking her quiet death. Spring has finally come, the weather is warm, the flowers are blooming, the grass is green, you all laugh, and the world is bright-but she's gone, she's gone, and she doesn't belong here anymore, and this is where she belongs most. 3 p/ ] 9wc

Miyazaki Hayao imagined that the little girl Jiezi still lived in this spring, her smiling face and her sweet and crisp voice still lived in this spring, but it was only an illusion. I saw a group of fireflies flying in front of the lady, and the faint light of fireflies flew farther and farther. \' cloth!

The light of fireflies is red and blood red. This movie is also called "The Tomb of Fireflies", so what Miyazaki Hayao wants to talk about is actually not the flying of fireflies, but the burial of fireflies, burying the love and hope that still exists in our hearts. Such a tragedy is classic, and this is a detailed tragic story. At the same time, it also constitutes Miyazaki Hayao's test of love: perhaps, only by putting love in such a desperate situation can we consider the possibility that the tension of love remains in human nature. vb？ ! # ^

The film begins with the death of my brother Qing Tai and the souls of two children and two brothers and sisters who live together. Youth Qing Tai said: 1944 September 2 1, I am dead. There is no room for the presupposition of tragedy, and the narration of comics becomes a prelude to death: we see the death of mother, the birth of brother and sister, the death of sister … until the last sentence "I have no father, mother and sister anymore".

In this spring when everything is quietly recovering and full of vitality, the young Qing Tai has lost all the closest people in his life, those who are connected with his life growth. The excitement of growing up in spring has nothing to do with his inner loneliness. The young man's life is completely lonely. Nothing can accompany him, nothing can warm him, and nothing can inspire his inner courage to continue his life. The firefly flew away, and the firefly disappeared, so he died at last. w ' YB m I

Looking back on the life time of two brothers and sisters living together in comics, although bitter, it is a little lingering and cherished. Miyazaki Hayao shows the real details of human nature in daily life in his cartoons. Miyazaki Hayao's narrative style is oriental, and he is gentle and delicate about the life of two brothers and sisters in the post-war background. For example, we pour water into an empty fruit juice candy jar, and then we see two greedy children sharing canned sugar water. For another example, in the school playground, in the picture, my sister squatted down and cried, and my brother was in great pain. He didn't know how to comfort his sister, so he circled back and forth on the horizontal bar, just like a long shot, without switching for a long time. Teenagers vent their unbearable loneliness, helplessness and fear in this way. mbGy 8yE & ltf

When fireflies fly, my brothers and sisters are as lively and happy as other children. There is no lack of innocence and childlike interest in Miyazaki Hayao's cartoons. For example, on the beach, my sister stared at the little doll's eyes and chased a crab. However, she found a body wrapped in a straw mat. Miyazaki Hayao's films are mild and serious. He always shows the happiness of life and carefree childhood, at the same time, he reveals the suffering reality of this world. Therefore, Miyazaki Hayao's cartoons are the most humanized. When fireflies fly, we know that we can live a beautiful and optimistic life in the face of suffering, although this happy time will be as short, weak and uncertain as the light of fireflies. When fireflies are flying, we have dug a small grave for burying fireflies. t lR%[_q6

When my brother Qingtai burned my sister's body, fireflies flew in the blood-red smoke. When fireflies died, Miyazaki Hayao showed us a piece of spring. It is precisely this spring, seemingly beautiful spring, that everything is revived, but the air is still filled with suffocating winter chill. The feeling of sadness is beyond measure. c 1 1`Pu4#8M
