Studio giblets.
I watched it a couple years ago when it was free on PBSโ site for free here in the states. However, now they seem to have taken it down. Iโve watched Kingdom of Dreams and Madness and Neverending Man multiple times, but thereโs a lot of good stuff in that 4-hour doc series.
I love Hayao Miyazaki's movies. I've already read the Journey Of Shuna which is great. I'm currently reading the Nausicaa manga which I like very much and I'm wondering can anyone recommend me any graphic novels that have a similar vibe to Miyazaki's movies and manga's? Thanks
Great travel tips in this 2005 New Yorker interview with Hayao Miyazaki:
>I asked him if heโd ever want to live anywhere elseโhe seemed so bitter about Japanโs environmental depredations. โNo,โ he said. โJapan is fineโbecause they speak Japanese. I like Ireland, though, the countryside there. Dublin has too many yuppies, computer types, but I like the countryside, because itโs poorer than England.โ He mentioned liking Potsdam, in Germany, and the decrepit castle at Sans Souci. โSometimes I encounter places that I feel as though I saw as a boy. A certain light in an old kind of town. Like in Tarkovskyโs films, that feeling is always there. I felt that way about a town in Estonia that I visited.โ
I web searched, but couldn't find the name of the Estonian town. The only lead appeared in a Google Books search of "Sharing a House with the Never-Ending Man:15 Years at Studio Ghibli" by Steve Alpert, which I do not own. It mentions a possible upcoming trip to Estonia, but I can't see all the pages.
Does anyone know the answer? Or own the book, to look up the answer?
I have never heard of another animation director who is still directing after the age of 81. Maybe Guinness record should award him the certificate if that is the case.
Since i recently heard this gentleman is going to work on a new(and possibly final) film, and knowing i've always wanted to get into Studio Ghibli films, even thought i am not a fan of anime, like, at all, i was wondering what some people think would be the best way to start on his films. I've seen Spirited Away(2001) but that was a couple of years ago and i must have been 7 or 8 years old and i remember absolutely nothing lol. What do you think on this?
