“People who design machines and airplanes {or buildings}, no matter how much they believe that what they do is good, the winds of time eventually turn them into tools of industrial civilization. They’re cursed dreams. Animation, too. Beautiful yet cursed dreams.”
― Hayao Miyazaki
One of the very, very few good anime people
Isn't Miyazaki and absolutely awful fucking father? I saw some video of him watching his son's first movie debut and he walks out in disgust. He only admonishes his son for his efforts. What a dick.
If I recall the documentary in which the whole situation is on display, he gets out to smoke a cigarette and says to the man following him everywhere that's it's not good. Then after, he tells his son he doesn't think it's very good. But then for his second movie he says he has surpassed him. There's also a lot of background story about his son not really wanting to direct, more seizing the opportunity because Miyazaki's longterm producer proposed it to him, and he only really made it wholly starting from his second film. And Miyazaki kind of meddling into his son's movie because he doesn't trust him to make it.
Anyway, I don't know, it's the 4 part documentary on NHK japan or something.
