When would you say the extent of Suzuki and Takahata's "logic" and "structure" influence completely left Miyazaki?<br /><br />Suzuki wasn't even in the picture til Nausicaa. His producing influence probably waned after Mononoke's big box office record.<br /><br />I think when Yamadas tanked and Mononoke raked in the money, Miyazaki was finally able to free himself from Suzuki and Takahata. <br /><br />I don't really care much for Oshii's films but he always has something interesting to say about Ghibli: http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/interviews/oshii_on_mt.htmlJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07139727719725265662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-27833921037713454202009-07-18T01:49:56.063-05:002009-07-18T01:49:56.063-05:00Isao Takahata hasn't had any direct impact on ...Isao Takahata hasn't had any direct impact on Miyazaki's work since the mid-1970s. And their relationship was as much a rivalry as anything. By the time he made Future Boy Conan, Miyazaki was his own man.<br /><br />Anyone struggling to understand his "grand opera" period - Mononoke, Sen, and Howl, plus the museum short films - needs to spend some time with Frederico Fellini.Daniel Thomas MacInneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01406180871529775448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-72178740287225250232009-07-18T01:23:21.354-05:002009-07-18T01:23:21.354-05:00Miyazaki's movies have lost their logicality a...Miyazaki's movies have lost their logicality and structure ever since Spirited Away. <br /><br />I wonder if this is when Suzuki and Takahata's influence left Miya-san. Equally ironic since Spirited Away releases during Takahata's apparent post Yamadas inactivity.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07139727719725265662noreply@blogger.com
