The Moral Narratives of Hayao Miyazaki Paperback / softback
by Eric Reinders
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.
