No offence to Miyazaki, who is, or course, a God in human form. Seriously. The guy really stands up for his beliefs and his work and doesn't take crap from Disney executives. The distribute his movies on his terms. And if they stray from the path, he sends them a katana.
No. Really.
I went back down the nostalgia road and got a bootleg version of a Ghibli movie. Not by Miyazaki, but by his son : Tales of Earthsea. It's not coming to Canada for a while because of that weird TV series they made of it taking the distribution rights for the title. And now, I remember why we used to buy Chinese bootleg. Gotta love it.
One day left before my departure to Florida!

Oh, I could never be a vegetarian. I love meat too much. T.T How do you have the personality of a vegetarian, anyway? Do you just act really protective of nature or something?
Miyazaki = God. My favorite film of his is Spirited Away, but I love Princess Mononoke, too. &hearts
I haven't seen Tales of Earthsea, though. Even if it's by his son, I dunno if he could truly continue his father's legacy when Miyazaki passes on. =(
Have a good and safe trip to Florida!

Everyone kinda expects his to share or copy Miyazaki's style, but he's less... women loving and war hating then his dad (he likes action and darness). I think if people would have let him develop more his own style then just expect him to be exactly like his dad, he would have been a better director.
The two of them fight a lot. "Ponyo" was a reconciliation project for them.

Date: 2010-02-19 04:31 am (UTC)Quote from wikipedia :
"Ursula K. Le Guin, the author of the Earthsea Series, gave a mixed response to the film in her review on her website. Le Guin commended the visual animation in the film but complained that the plot and the content had been changed drastically. She also praised certain depictions of nature in the film, but felt that the production values of the film were not as high as previous works directed by Hayao Miyazaki, and that the film's excitement was focused too much around scenes of violence. Her initial response to Goro Miyazaki was "It is not my book. It is your movie. It is a good movie".[11] However, she was unhappy that the comment was disclosed on the movie's public blog.
Le Guin's mixed opinion of the film is indicative of the overall reception of the film, particularly in Japan. In Japan, the film found both strong proponents and detractors. Many of the opinions can best be summed up in a response to Le Guin's comments on her website, that the weak points of the film were the result of "when too much responsibility was shouldered by someone not equipped for it".[12]
The critical reaction in Japan was mixed and the movie at year's end in Japan was awarded "Worst Movie" in Bunshun's Raspberry Awards, which presided over by a panel of 32 movie critics. Goro Miyazaki also won the "Worst Director" award.[13][14]"

Date: 2010-02-19 04:12 am (UTC)Reading that article makes me respect Miyazaki all the more! The guy has been a huge insperation to me and the writer thing I do. (Got to love the no cuts.)
Was Legend of Earthsea any good? I was a bit torn on it. With a dark doubt that maybe the son was riding on the name of the father.

Have fun here in Florida!! Seriously though, bring a sweater. It's not as cold as Canada but we do get a chill now and again...
One of these days we totes need to hook up sometime when you're in this neck o' the woods.

Date: 2010-02-20 03:37 am (UTC)Yeah, I brought clothing for various types of weather. But considering I just spend months at -20, I think +15 is still an improvement.

Seriousely, though, it might be hard to plan for this trip, but next trip to florida? Let's plan You+Me+Disney BABY! ALL NIGHT LONG!

Date: 2010-02-21 01:10 am (UTC)Yep, lived here for almost 25 years. Too long in my consideration. My Facebook says Orlando, but I live about an hour away in Melbourne. Closer to the East Coast, near where the shuttle launches. Here is a map for a visual.
That, my friend, would be totally awesome!! :DDD
