I love the stories & the visuals so much but forget the primary theme underlying them. <br /><br />I am sure he is aware enough to know that not all people in the U.S. are wrapped up in the commerialism, materialism, industrialism, etc., that he sees.Rooannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432596569073207710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-45390507071916679592009-07-29T06:02:05.208-05:002009-07-29T06:02:05.208-05:00It's refreshing to read of your honesty in thi...It's refreshing to read of your honesty in this blog. Miyazaki will perhaps get to see the end of the world but it probably won't be as serene as skyscrapers being gently immersed by rising water levels.<br /><br />Although honestly, I'd look forward more to the fact that if Miyazaki sticks around until the end of the world, I would get to watch Ghibli movies until the end of the world. <br /><br />I understand where you're coming from and I myself do think that all of the questions asked at comic con panel was rather... a big waste of valuable time. However, at the screening I could tell he was happy to see old women wave around a shirt of Totoro. He stopped in his track, pointed, smiled and waved but his entourage encouraged him to keep moving. I'm still glad he's giving the fans a chance to see him in person.<br /><br />I agree that he could have been taken to experience the side of America many others would forget to tout. I wish he doesn't close the possibility of him visiting other countries again. I was also glad to see his security being taken somewhat seriously during his visits here.Weigyhttp://blog.weigy.com/noreply@blogger.com
