00:00:27 ◼   ► the it is heiio miyazaki the Japanese [TS]

00:00:30 ◼   ► director of animated films many of which [TS]

00:00:34 ◼   ► are near and dear to our hearts so we [TS]

00:00:37 ◼   ► thought we would take some time and and [TS]

00:00:39 ◼   ► we've been running up to this because we [TS]

00:00:40 ◼   ► did our children's film episode where we [TS]

00:00:44 ◼   ► talked about this a little bit and in [TS]

00:00:46 ◼   ► the in the draft of films John [TS]

00:00:50 ◼   ► specifically avoided drafting miyazaki [TS]

00:00:54 ◼   ► movies and I had one of my own honorable [TS]

00:00:56 ◼   ► mention but I didn't draft any anyway [TS]

00:00:59 ◼   ► but you may you may or may not i mean [TS]

00:01:00 ◼   ► he's kind of a cult figure right i mean [TS]

00:01:02 ◼   ► the people who know him really know him [TS]

00:01:04 ◼   ► and love him and then there's lots of [TS]

00:01:05 ◼   ► people I think who quite sadly have no [TS]

00:01:09 ◼   ► idea who this guy is and he's actually [TS]

00:01:10 ◼   ► one of the great figures in animated [TS]

00:01:15 ◼   ► film history [TS]

00:01:16 ◼   ► yeah I'm kind of disappointed in our [TS]

00:01:18 ◼   ► crop of nerds that I thought there would [TS]

00:01:21 ◼   ► be more miyazaki nerds even you were not [TS]

00:01:23 ◼   ► a miyazaki nerd you had seen some and [TS]

00:01:25 ◼   ► like them but you have to do a bunch of [TS]

00:01:27 ◼   ► homework for this episode to go back and [TS]

00:01:28 ◼   ► watch the newcomers I thought for sure [TS]

00:01:30 ◼   ► they would be a better representation in [TS]

00:01:33 ◼   ► the incomparable crew of people who are [TS]

00:01:35 ◼   ► really into anime or no miyazaki is but [TS]

00:01:38 ◼   ► it looks like it was just me and then [TS]

00:01:39 ◼   ► you as the person who was willing to [TS]

00:01:42 ◼   ► well as the host as the host I am always [TS]

00:01:45 ◼   ► up for well that's not true there are [TS]

00:01:47 ◼   ► some things that I'm not going to the [TS]

00:01:48 ◼   ► research on but in this I was happy to [TS]

00:01:50 ◼   ► do it because a couple of his movies are [TS]

00:01:53 ◼   ► among my favorite movies of all time and [TS]

00:01:55 ◼   ► ones that i love watching with my kids [TS]

00:01:58 ◼   ► and so I was happy to explore further [TS]

00:02:01 ◼   ► but it's true i'm sure there are some [TS]

00:02:03 ◼   ► listeners out there who cannot believe [TS]

00:02:05 ◼   ► that we couldn't chin up a third or [TS]

00:02:07 ◼   ► fourth guest for this episode but I [TS]

00:02:08 ◼   ► figured at this point you know between [TS]

00:02:10 ◼   ► the two of us to to survey this guy's [TS]

00:02:13 ◼   ► career when we're talking about miyazaki [TS]

00:02:15 ◼   ► with what does he have like nine feature [TS]

00:02:18 ◼   ► film [TS]

00:02:19 ◼   ► so there's a lot to talk about i think [TS]

00:02:22 ◼   ► we could probably go film by film and [TS]

00:02:25 ◼   ► talk about them a little bit and [TS]

00:02:26 ◼   ► honestly i think that that we could take [TS]

00:02:27 ◼   ► one or two of these movies and spend a [TS]

00:02:30 ◼   ► full hour just on them so between the [TS]

00:02:31 ◼   ► two of us you can you can go you can go [TS]

00:02:34 ◼   ► with a deep knowledge or i guess the [TS]

00:02:36 ◼   ► broad knowledge of his career and I can [TS]

00:02:38 ◼   ► go deep with a few films and then I can [TS]

00:02:40 ◼   ► chime in on a few others but so so where [TS]

00:02:44 ◼   ► should we start hehe miyazaki actually [TS]

00:02:47 ◼   ► did some some comics some manga before [TS]

00:02:50 ◼   ► he he started doing films right that's [TS]

00:02:54 ◼   ► one thing I don't know about i'm not a [TS]

00:02:56 ◼   ► miyazaki historian and i followed his [TS]

00:02:58 ◼   ► career from so my understanding is that [TS]

00:03:00 ◼   ► NASA is actually based among get that he [TS]

00:03:01 ◼   ► working out yeah a lot of his movies are [TS]

00:03:03 ◼   ► based on works that are not his so he's [TS]

00:03:05 ◼   ► right one of those people who have to [TS]

00:03:06 ◼   ► write everything that he creates or [TS]

00:03:09 ◼   ► originated the intellectual property as [TS]

00:03:11 ◼   ► we now called right right and he's also [TS]

00:03:13 ◼   ► got some interesting at these films are [TS]

00:03:15 ◼   ► fascinated me the first the first movie [TS]

00:03:17 ◼   ► of his that I saw was actually spirited [TS]

00:03:19 ◼   ► away which won the Oscar for Best [TS]

00:03:21 ◼   ► Animated Feature and that is a that is a [TS]

00:03:25 ◼   ► really strange movie and I remember [TS]

00:03:27 ◼   ► seeing it and thinking parts of this are [TS]

00:03:29 ◼   ► really beautiful and then there are [TS]

00:03:31 ◼   ► things that happen in the plot that I i [TS]

00:03:33 ◼   ► just got the distinct feeling that [TS]

00:03:35 ◼   ► despite all of the presumably careful [TS]

00:03:38 ◼   ► translation that went into the movie in [TS]

00:03:40 ◼   ► making it for an english-speaking [TS]

00:03:41 ◼   ► audience that the that they were massive [TS]

00:03:45 ◼   ► cultural gaps that I could not [TS]

00:03:46 ◼   ► understand that and I kept thinking to [TS]

00:03:49 ◼   ► myself I'm sure what I just saw it made [TS]

00:03:51 ◼   ► sense to people in Japan but i have no [TS]

00:03:54 ◼   ► idea what is going to happen now like [TS]

00:03:56 ◼   ► took things that happen completely out [TS]

00:03:58 ◼   ► of the blue at which I actually love I [TS]

00:04:00 ◼   ► mean there's some scenes in there that [TS]

00:04:01 ◼   ► that I wear it in spirited away where [TS]

00:04:05 ◼   ► there's that what the the faceless the [TS]

00:04:07 ◼   ► no-face guy and he ends up like vomiting [TS]

00:04:11 ◼   ► everything its he's eaten and and I [TS]

00:04:14 ◼   ► thought well sure of course that would [TS]

00:04:17 ◼   ► happen he there's like a slug that gets [TS]

00:04:21 ◼   ► thrown up and mph at and it just it was [TS]

00:04:25 ◼   ► so weird and and so I didn't watch any [TS]

00:04:28 ◼   ► other movies of his for a while because [TS]

00:04:29 ◼   ► that is a very strange movie I do [TS]

00:04:32 ◼   ► have you watched any anime and your [TS]

00:04:33 ◼   ► sordid past of being a teen comic book [TS]

00:04:37 ◼   ► nerd so whatever [TS]

00:04:38 ◼   ► no I am completely anime layered beyond [TS]

00:04:41 ◼   ► the beyond the American a Americanized [TS]

00:04:46 ◼   ► version of i guess it was a battleship [TS]

00:04:49 ◼   ► yamato but its star Blazers basically [TS]

00:04:52 ◼   ► with the only i'm only anime that I ever [TS]

00:04:53 ◼   ► at that I ever saw and so when I saw [TS]

00:04:56 ◼   ► spirited away I was like whoa this is [TS]

00:04:57 ◼   ► interesting [TS]

00:04:59 ◼   ► that's so so when you watch a lot of [TS]

00:05:00 ◼   ► anime or I'll up you tend to get steeped [TS]

00:05:05 ◼   ► in Japanese culture without even knowing [TS]

00:05:07 ◼   ► you are because you don't know where [TS]

00:05:08 ◼   ► these things come from but once you see [TS]

00:05:09 ◼   ► the same type of thing in 20 different [TS]

00:05:11 ◼   ► and you're like that must be a thing is [TS]

00:05:13 ◼   ► surely these 20 different people aren't [TS]

00:05:16 ◼   ► didn't arrive at this strange thing that [TS]

00:05:18 ◼   ► strange to me as a westerner on their [TS]

00:05:20 ◼   ► own and so by the time spirited away [TS]

00:05:23 ◼   ► comes along if like me you spent here [TS]

00:05:25 ◼   ► teen years watching all the anime you [TS]

00:05:27 ◼   ► could find at speedway seems i mean i'm [TS]

00:05:31 ◼   ► not going to say it's not weird it is [TS]

00:05:32 ◼   ► weird but it's kind of like the same [TS]

00:05:33 ◼   ► kind of weird that are used as [TS]

00:05:35 ◼   ► consistent it [TS]

00:05:36 ◼   ► yeah and within the realm of anime i [TS]

00:05:37 ◼   ► would say that like if if you have never [TS]

00:05:41 ◼   ► seen a movie before and then you saw I [TS]

00:05:44 ◼   ► don't get to pick a director I gotta [TS]

00:05:46 ◼   ► terrence malick Quentin Tarantino's I [TS]

00:05:50 ◼   ► gave if there is something you know [TS]

00:05:52 ◼   ► there are directors and his films and [TS]

00:05:53 ◼   ► then there are the ones that we put up [TS]

00:05:54 ◼   ► on pedestals these great directors or [TS]

00:05:56 ◼   ► whatever [TS]

00:05:57 ◼   ► anime is similar there's anime that's [TS]

00:06:00 ◼   ► you know those Michael Bay anime to come [TS]

00:06:02 ◼   ► to put it bluntly I and and then [TS]

00:06:05 ◼   ► miyazaki is definitely one of those big [TS]

00:06:07 ◼   ► names in Scorsese's the coppola he's [TS]

00:06:09 ◼   ► right [TS]

00:06:09 ◼   ► even the the quentin tarantino sometimes [TS]

00:06:12 ◼   ► kind of all rolled into one so although [TS]

00:06:14 ◼   ► i was a big anime fan when i was a teen [TS]

00:06:16 ◼   ► as i got older i came to narrow my [TS]

00:06:19 ◼   ► appreciation of Japanese animation so [TS]

00:06:23 ◼   ► why I only want the good stuff kinda [TS]

00:06:24 ◼   ► like you with the with watchman i just [TS]

00:06:26 ◼   ► listened to that watchman episode where [TS]

00:06:27 ◼   ► you said that after watch men you're [TS]

00:06:30 ◼   ► like why why am i bothering with this [TS]

00:06:31 ◼   ► yeah well read this crap because like [TS]

00:06:33 ◼   ► look at the watchman showed how it's [TS]

00:06:35 ◼   ► done and anything doesn't live up to [TS]

00:06:36 ◼   ► that standard seems like I'm wasting my [TS]

00:06:37 ◼   ► time [TS]

00:06:38 ◼   ► so once I discovered this video jibley [TS]

00:06:41 ◼   ► movies and miyazaki and discovered this [TS]

00:06:44 ◼   ► little little [TS]

00:06:45 ◼   ► tiny sliver as it isn't all media of [TS]

00:06:47 ◼   ► really really great japanese animation i [TS]

00:06:50 ◼   ► became much less interested in the more [TS]

00:06:53 ◼   ► sort of schlocky stuff right and i'm [TS]

00:06:55 ◼   ► sure i mean i-i don't wanna say anything [TS]

00:06:57 ◼   ► negative about anime fans because I'm [TS]

00:06:58 ◼   ► sure there's a lot of really cool stuff [TS]

00:07:00 ◼   ► out there but i do get the sense that uh [TS]

00:07:04 ◼   ► it can be well as an outsider I find [TS]

00:07:07 ◼   ► that kind of off-putting right there's [TS]

00:07:09 ◼   ► so much detail and people who know about [TS]

00:07:10 ◼   ► this stuff and and so when I say we're [TS]

00:07:15 ◼   ► spending an hour talking about a [TS]

00:07:16 ◼   ► japanese animation director I know that [TS]

00:07:18 ◼   ► might even come across as being kind of [TS]

00:07:20 ◼   ► like really esoteric and I think that's [TS]

00:07:22 ◼   ► the the primary point i wanted to get [TS]

00:07:25 ◼   ► across in this episode is you know [TS]

00:07:27 ◼   ► Miyazaki's got some stuff that's that's [TS]

00:07:29 ◼   ► more out there but he's got some he's [TS]

00:07:32 ◼   ► he's made some movies especially for [TS]

00:07:34 ◼   ► kids that i would put up against any any [TS]

00:07:38 ◼   ► movie made animated appropriate for [TS]

00:07:42 ◼   ► children in the history of film he you [TS]

00:07:45 ◼   ► know it's it is like you said he's not [TS]

00:07:47 ◼   ► only a master of the anime shandra but [TS]

00:07:50 ◼   ► he somebody who who really transcends it [TS]

00:07:52 ◼   ► and that people who've never seen like [TS]

00:07:53 ◼   ► me who've never been swimming in in [TS]

00:07:56 ◼   ► anime can really appreciate the work [TS]

00:07:58 ◼   ► he's done because it is remarkable some [TS]

00:08:02 ◼   ► of the films are really transcended and [TS]

00:08:04 ◼   ► once you've seen his work you watch [TS]

00:08:06 ◼   ► other movies of his I've been doing it [TS]

00:08:08 ◼   ► winding up you know my research for this [TS]

00:08:10 ◼   ► episode and you will as with a great [TS]

00:08:13 ◼   ► director you begin to see his style [TS]

00:08:16 ◼   ► everywhere it in in his work and his [TS]

00:08:19 ◼   ► influence and other work which is [TS]

00:08:21 ◼   ► actually great so you know don't if you [TS]

00:08:23 ◼   ► haven't seen miyazaki's movies we're [TS]

00:08:24 ◼   ► going to talk about them but you should [TS]

00:08:26 ◼   ► see them they're really good [TS]

00:08:28 ◼   ► yeah and I think that that the the [TS]

00:08:29 ◼   ► strangest of Japanese culture is kind of [TS]

00:08:32 ◼   ► a barrier it it's maybe kind of like [TS]

00:08:34 ◼   ► someone who hasn't read a lot of [TS]

00:08:35 ◼   ► superhero comics and being able to [TS]

00:08:38 ◼   ► appreciate the watchman because the [TS]

00:08:40 ◼   ► watchman is in like a typical superhero [TS]

00:08:41 ◼   ► comic but it really really helps to have [TS]

00:08:43 ◼   ► a background in superhero comics to [TS]

00:08:46 ◼   ► fully appreciated and so you don't get [TS]

00:08:47 ◼   ► like put off by the things that are [TS]

00:08:49 ◼   ► weird but that are not weird if you just [TS]

00:08:52 ◼   ► soaked in superhero comics for four [TS]

00:08:54 ◼   ► decades [TS]

00:08:54 ◼   ► alright so something a lot of people i [TS]

00:08:58 ◼   ► documentary any kind of anime and our [TS]

00:09:01 ◼   ► and can't get past the things they don't [TS]

00:09:02 ◼   ► understand whether the japanese cultural [TS]

00:09:04 ◼   ► things and make things are simply [TS]

00:09:05 ◼   ► different standards and what we think [TS]

00:09:07 ◼   ► it's appropriate to show two children or [TS]

00:09:09 ◼   ► how you should be structured they can't [TS]

00:09:11 ◼   ► get like they're looking at it they're [TS]

00:09:13 ◼   ► expecting it to be like a Disney movie [TS]

00:09:15 ◼   ► or even like a Pixar movie and I would [TS]

00:09:17 ◼   ► say that miyazaki's movies as well see [TS]

00:09:19 ◼   ► when we discuss them are so far from [TS]

00:09:21 ◼   ► being like a Disney movie and they're [TS]

00:09:23 ◼   ► far from being a Pixar movie they do not [TS]

00:09:25 ◼   ► have any interest in the formula for [TS]

00:09:28 ◼   ► american western movies for adults or [TS]

00:09:31 ◼   ► children yeah they are structured [TS]

00:09:32 ◼   ► differently the characters active and [TS]

00:09:34 ◼   ► leave things happen there are different [TS]

00:09:35 ◼   ► and it's sometimes difficult people to [TS]

00:09:38 ◼   ► get a grip on ethnic and sometimes [TS]

00:09:39 ◼   ► things happen [TS]

00:09:40 ◼   ► I mean this is and this is my thought [TS]

00:09:42 ◼   ► while watching spirited away again [TS]

00:09:44 ◼   ► was I my wife and I watched that movie [TS]

00:09:46 ◼   ► and am I turned to her and after this [TS]

00:09:48 ◼   ► one scene which is something i think it [TS]

00:09:51 ◼   ► might have been the vomiting it was [TS]

00:09:52 ◼   ► something was something like that the [TS]

00:09:53 ◼   ► stink spirit that enters the bathhouse I [TS]

00:09:56 ◼   ► think it was the stink spirit and [TS]

00:09:58 ◼   ► everybody's like oh its distinct spirit [TS]

00:10:00 ◼   ► that it's here in the bathhouse and i [TS]

00:10:02 ◼   ► turned my wife and I say of course right [TS]

00:10:04 ◼   ► and and really it's that moment of like [TS]

00:10:06 ◼   ► going with it just like I'm sure that [TS]

00:10:09 ◼   ► there's a reason why this makes sense i [TS]

00:10:12 ◼   ► have no idea what it is [TS]

00:10:13 ◼   ► we'll just go with it you know and I [TS]

00:10:16 ◼   ► love that it's kind of there are plot [TS]

00:10:20 ◼   ► that are that i love because i cannot [TS]

00:10:23 ◼   ► anticipate them because all of my [TS]

00:10:25 ◼   ► programming and as you said all of my [TS]

00:10:28 ◼   ► Hollywood movie plot point programming [TS]

00:10:32 ◼   ► fails and its crew actually it's great [TS]

00:10:36 ◼   ► it's great to go wow I had no idea that [TS]

00:10:39 ◼   ► would happen and you're completely [TS]

00:10:56 ◼   ► lost in it yeah I i was feel that that [TS]

00:10:58 ◼   ► Westerners get more of a kick out of [TS]

00:11:01 ◼   ► miyazaki than even the Japanese because [TS]

00:11:14 ◼   ► old that everyone in Japan knows about [TS]
