“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
Yeah. I feel like with shit like climate change it's easy to see why he kinda lost that view on historical materialism as there was a whole other factor that could destroy the world before communism is achieved. It was the 80s and Marx was deader than dead until basically 2011 onward. His anti civ turn still has allowed him to make amazing movies.
He's also still clearly a materialist, like, in Kingdom of Dreams and Madness (the source for this quote) he talks about analyzing the news by thinking about the material cause of each news event and writing it on a white board.
I don't think Marx left him as much as he thinks it does (need to watch this doc).
omg where can i watch this doc?
