>>350787>Miyazaki is a classical socialist. He genuinely cares about the working class unlike ever modern socialist.I also care about them, a shame they are stupid.
>Spirited Away is a Nihongo fantasy expression of Zola's works.I've never heard of this take before.
>Nausica is probably the single greatest piece of environmentalist media ever made.I tend to be okay with his girlboss feminist characters cause they always end up being the female exception in a male world, I think he excels at writing likable characters easily considered mary sues in the wrong hands.
>Porco Rosso is probably the only work of fantasy teakettle antifacism ever created.Yeah its a very dreary and interesting work, it kinda comes out as a fever dream to me. The bit of Porco still being in between life and death and seeing his friends go to the other side still lives rent free in my head.
>Miyazaki was born in, and grew up in, an era where the flaws of Communism had not yet been exposed to the wider world, and in a country where the most prominent communist leader was cut down on live TV before he could even be elected and have his policies destroy their host nation.I really love his films, one of my favorites is Howl's moving castle as the book had a special place in my heart from my childhood, although he omitted certain details and expanded it to being an anti-war movie as an obvious allegory to Iraq I can't say the changes weren't actually well done. He is the only director in history I can think of who significantly changed something in an adaption and made it good. At least hes somewhat aware about the reality of race, also the communist leader of Japan got lucky with the glorious death he received from that patriot of an autist.
The other film I enjoy is Princess Mononoke, because although it wasn't his intention I think it was a good way of seeing the fall of man's connection of nature and the old world, and the fall of the old and ancient gods of Japan. Which of course I think anyone is able to relate to in relation to the modernization of their own countries. It also is a representative of the last stands of those who value the dying old order. Like the Shinsengumi, the Malmuks of Egypt, the Germans, or even the anons of 8chan, it seems to have a reference to things destined to die. The main character is even based off a what if the last of the indigenous non-Ainu tribes of Japan survived in some way rather than be totally killed off by the samurai.
>Miyazaki is naive, but that naivety created some of the greatest piece of art ever put brush to paper. It is stupid, it is naive, it is arrogant, but it is also pure in a way modern socialists can never hope to replicate because they are liars and sociopaths.>It is not a bad thing to have beautiful fools in your country, they can bring whimsy and heart to cold and mechanical nations giving purpose and meaning to even the lowliest of working men. It becomes an issue when those fools gain significant voice in kultur, realpolitik, and actually enact their destructive and insane ideology.I'd be able to agree with this if I haven't been so jaded with my own country and life, I can't be bothered with anyone new like that. Miyazaki always interest environmentalism and feminism in his works, the latter I'm obviously against but I can forgive him for his consistent quality.
>Just as in everything else balance is what matters.I guess you could say it even applies to the balance of quality of autists, genuine schizophrenics and waifufags on an imageboard. I personally miss mygfposter.
