One can make an action film in a science fiction setting, or an action film in a historical setting, or a drama in a science fiction setting or in just a normal/present day setting, etc. <br /><br />Miyazaki's films are usually character driven dramas in science-fiction/fantasy settings (that applies to Nausicaa, Totoro, Kiki, Porco Rosso, Mononoke, Spirited Away and others).<br /><br />Also, I would add that the fact appears to be that Yamadas flopped at the box office relative to Miyazaki's films mainly because it was significantly weaker than Spirited Away and Mononoke. It least it left a significantly weaker impression on myself if compared to these two "monster films".<br /><br />I think that it appears that in Japan people have similar film tastes to the US (as the top grossing films in the US are generally the top grossing foreign films in Japan), the difference being that Miyazaki manages to combine in his films the mainstream appeal of hollywood blockbusters with the artistic sophistication of auteur filmmaking, thus making massive box office hits without sacrificing artistic greatness. While Takahata's films are less accessible than Miyazaki's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-48322241086491815252012-12-15T14:56:27.359-06:002012-12-15T14:56:27.359-06:00Yeah, that's the joke isn't it?

Particularly Miyazaki and his international appeal as the Walt Disney of Japan, as you said. <br /><br />I'm realizing I'm both extremely excited and completely terrified for these films.Hayley Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08292115488334707093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-88749074264646192782012-12-14T19:43:56.325-06:002012-12-14T19:43:56.325-06:00Hayley, that's a really thought-provoking poin...Hayley, that's a really thought-provoking point you've made about them both going against their public image!<br /><br />The idea of Miyazaki not resting on his laurels, going back to the mindset his was in to make Mononoke is very interesting. His talk at the time of people seeing Ghibli as a 'brand' and wanting to challenge that seems to have come back round with these films. I will be interested to see if he isn't slightly more than preachy with this film or if he sticks by his guns 'not to lecture'.<br /><br />That said, the two are well versed in both fantasy and straight drama. Takahata made Hols, for Christ's sake! And whilst Miyazaki is fondly regarded for his fantasy output, the films only manage to stand up because of his wonderful characterisation and storytelling skills. After all, he did a large amount of planning and storyboarded Whisper of the Heart. I regard that film as Miyazaki's as much as it is Kondo's.<br /><br />Apparently the trailers are already playing with the Hobbit in Japanese cinemas, but they always take a while to get online via some TV appearance. We might be lucky enough to see them in the next month I think, but Ghibli teaser trailers are always VERY short and sparse anyway, since the films themselves often aren't finished until weeks before the summer release. <br /><br />I can't wait.
