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 I participated in the production was the Dongying theatrical version of the animation "Wang Wang Zhong Chen Cang" in 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 Adventures of Prince Sun 1968 was released, Miyazaki Hayao and his wife participated in the production of puss in boots. The next year, the two participated in the production of Ghost Ship. 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 animated film 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 "The Wandering Swallow" (namely "The Girl in the Alps: Katie"), 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, The Future World of Korea (Conan, the Future Youth), was broadcast in NHK, which was well received, and Miyazaki Hayao's thoughts and styles were displayed in this film. 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 adventure film style of "the future world".

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 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.

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. In the film, nature is reflected by human ignorance of war and excessive plunder. 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, with the support of Germany, Miyazaki Hayao and Gao Tianxun jointly founded the "Ermali" club, the predecessor of Zhibuli.

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, Zhibuli Studio was established 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 its story is more traditional, but that doesn't mean it's 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. 1986 The City of the Sky is a pioneering work of Bu Zhi. 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 the great city of La Plata floating in the air seems to warn the world that it is actually facing an uncertain future in the century of machinery and steel.

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 Deliver" also means that Bu Zhi has become the beginning of box office guarantee, which attracted about 264 million viewers and became the most popular Japanese movie of 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 relaxed 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 "Zhibuli 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 visiting. 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. "
