AU MEME: Two inspectors investigate the disappearances of three young women. All evidence indicates the disappearances have something to do with a mysterious man who just arrived in town.

"Depending on who you place in the same situation, the characteristics of said incident change kaleidoscopically. In other words, there is one incident. However, there are as many stories explaining it as there are people involved in it."

Hayao Miyazaki Meme → What made Hayao Miyazaki and/or his films so special to you?

I admire Hayao Miyazaki a lot. He seems to be such an intelligent, kind man with so much creativity and fantasy. I think he chooses wisely and good what he wants to make into a film and doesn’t think about profit in the first place. I think his opinion on the whole marketing of films is great and I agree with him on that. I loved that he made that clear to Disney so that his fabulous films wouldn’t end up in a whole series of products…just imagine a Princess Mononoke video game and cereal or stuff like that….I personally don’t approve of such things and am glad that it isn’t this way with Miyazaki’s films and Studio Ghibli films in general. I love that he makes films for children as well as for grown-ups but that his children’ films also have a lot of seriousness and honesty and that grown-ups also can learn a lot from his films which are made for the little ones. I love that the topics aren’t one of those we’ve seen or heard a thousand times before in cinema and that nature seems so important to him and that he puts critic in a lot of his films.

Three Things Studio Ghibli Can Teach Children

Howl’s Moving Castle - The Male Is Not In Charge

Howl’s a big famous wizard with a castle and romantic floaty walks, we see this and we expect the film to fulfill a narrative where Sophie is brought out of her shy little shell and protected and saved and put on a pedestal by the prince that has chosen her. As the movie progresses however, he is stripped of this masculine savior role when we see that he can’t clean his own house, he cries when his hair is wrong, he actually is under a curse and he is terrified. The natural path we expect this story to move along is completely subverted; there are no girls in ivory towers to be saved, the girls are pretty much running the show that the boys can’t handle.

Kiki’s Delivery Service - Notice What Capitalism Does To You

This is one of the only Studio Ghibli films that shows and discusses a monetary system. When Kiki first arrives in her town she’s excited to become a good witch and to help others. She meets people that are kind and helpful and give very generously to help Kiki get started as a delivery girl. But Kiki is becoming more and more exposed to a society that runs on money, and in this world she comes to assimilate to a payment system, calculating the worth of help, and expecting something in return. Kiki loses all of her powers once this transformation is complete, and only redeems herself again by realizing that there is more to helping others than expecting money as payment, and letting yourself be lead down that path leads to constant unhappiness.

Pom Poko - Feel Guilty And Do Something

A recurring theme in a lot of Ghibli films is the passing of an era of magic, and wonder, and selflessness and wisdom - to make way for the crashing unstoppable destruction of progress. Pom Poko is about imbalance, and about human ignorance, but especially about the natural world, and how it’s disappearing. There could have been a lot of Ghibli films picked for the discussion of the death of nature, but this one resounds because of the tremendous guilt a viewer feels once the film is over. If it takes a family of animated tanuki for someone to realize the grief their species causes, and to rush outside and beg forgiveness to any tree or bush or plant or animal they can see, then that’s good - that’s a start.
