How do you evaluate Miyazaki Hayao?

It is a bit difficult to comprehensively evaluate such a master who has made his debut for 30 years, contributed countless excellent films and provided rich spiritual food for mankind.

Try to talk about the difference between Miyazaki Hayao and other cartoonists and directors from the angle of loving fans.

Miyazaki Hayao's works are exquisite.

Although Miyazaki Hayao didn't study painting, he always made original paintings for animation in his early years, with solid basic skills, and gradually became a scene designer, artist, screenwriter and director.

Every director's feature film is elaborately crafted, and Miyazaki Hayao is doing animation with the feelings of making a film seriously (feelings, you are not mistaken), which makes his film very different from the theatrical version of the best-selling animation.

Some people say that he was the first person to introduce humanistic plot into animation. I think he is carving animation with his own life and expressing his three views with animation.

Miyazaki Hayao was obsessed with manuscript creation, and was very strict with artistic design such as characters and scenes.

He is strict about the score. The Valley of the Wind excavated Joe Hisaishi, which not only made his own works, but also made Joe Hisaishi, introducing high-quality classical music into animation.

Miyazaki Hayao said that each of his animation works will take five years to complete. He himself realized that he was old, and he might not have many "five years" to finish his work before he decided to retire. "

Miyazaki Hayao's works have a wide range of themes and universal values.

Miyazaki Hayao's works are rich in subject matter, wide in scope and strong in humanistic care, which is unmatched not only by animation creators, but also by film directors.

In addition to the eternal theme "love", his works also involve war, humanity, revenge, destruction, hope, family, nature, life, innocence and so on, expressing his universal values. Rich in imagination, rigorous in logic and complete in story.

Unlike Mamoru Oshii, another master who also gained great influence in the world, Miyazaki Hayao's animation has a wider audience and a longer creative peak. The starting point of the pioneering work "Valley of the Wind" is very high, My Neighbor Totoro is warm and beautiful, and the "Ghost Princess" is magnificent, and Spirited Away is a genius. From 1988' s My Neighbor Totoro to 2004' s "Har's Castle", the peak period lasted for nearly 20 years, and there were almost no works of poor quality.

Most of Miyazaki Hayao's films have a strong sense of substitution.

The audience can easily integrate into his films and share joys and sorrows. This may be because of the harmony of painting style, music and stories, because most of the protagonists in the stories are girls, or because of romantic style or practical significance. It may easily hit us or arouse more or less childlike innocence in our hearts.

When we look at the Godfather, The Lord of the Rings, Infernal Affairs, District 9 and most other good works. It is difficult for us to have a strong sense of substitution, whether we are intoxicated with acting, amazed at the background, sighing and teasing people, or savoring the story. The sense of substitution is a kind of ability. Miyazaki Hayao has this ability. Looking at his works, it is easy to think of yourself as the protagonist or a person in the story. How many people fantasize about owning a totoro, how many people want to own Hal's castle, and how many people look for themselves like Chihiro.
