Hello Everyone! I know it has been a while since my last
review but I decided to come back with something big. It is March, which means
that I should review films based on one of my favorite directors whose name
also starts with an M. Miyazaki.
A Little About Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli
Hayao Miyazaki is a legendary filmmaker whose work I have
already reviewed in the past (Nausicaa of The Valley of the Wind). He is best known for his work in
creating some of the greatest anime films of all time. He is also known for
being the mastermind who started Studio Ghibli, which has gone down in film
history as one of the most influential animation studios within the last 30
years. Ghibli is often called “The Pixar of Japan” because of Disney’s US
acquisition of the studio alongside the legacy that the studio has not only in
Japan but all around the world.. Miyazaki started Studio Ghibli in 1984 during
the production of Nausicaa. Before
this he was known for directing the film “Lupin the Third: The Castle of
Cagliostro”.
What to Expect from this Month
As this is the Month of Miyazaki there will be at least 4
Reviews and the one rule of this month is that all of the films had to have
been directed by Miyazaki. 4 reviews will be at the minimum because I want to
review as much of his work as possible. There is also the possibility of seeing
a video review come around as well. I am a huge fan of almost anything Studio
Ghibli and this month serves as a way to express my fondness for these films
and the beauty that each one presents in the visual medium of film.
By The way this is where Month of Miyazaki came from!
