The Moral Narratives of Hayao Miyazaki, Paperback / softback Book

The Moral Narratives of Hayao Miyazaki Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Widely regarded as Japan's greatest animated director, Hayao Miyazaki creates films lauded for vibrant characters and meaningful narrative themes.

Examining the messages of his 10 full-length films-from Nausicaa (1984) to The Wind Rises (2013)-this study analyzes each for its religious, philosophical and ethical implications.

Miyazaki's work addresses a coherent set of human concerns, including adolescence, good and evil, our relationship to the past, our place in the natural order, and the problems of living in a complex and ambiguous world.

Exhibiting religious influences without religious endorsement, his films enjoin nonjudgment and perseverance in everyday life.
