“To be born means being compelled to choose an era, a place, a life. To exist here, now, means to lose the possibility of being countless other potential selves. Yet once being born there is no turning back. And I think that is exactly why fictional worlds so strongly represent our hopes and yearnings. They illustrate a world of lost possibilities for us.” ─ Hayao Miyazaki
A tribute video for one of cinema's most terrific dreamers, Hayao Miyazaki. For me, Miyazaki is the greatest children's film director, and Spirited Away is the definitive embodiment of our childhood dreams. If anything, this is my way of saying 'thank you' to the artist who has brought the most beautiful mixture of audio and visuals to the screen, with an unmatched quality that has cemented his legacy as a master of animation.
Thank you for all the beauty,
To Hayao.
