I partly agree with him on some films, but LOTR was quite innocent with the castle defence scene before Trump gets with his wall thing. I do agree with him when it comes to the Jerusalem zombies scene on World War Z.

QUOTE(LamboSama @ Mar 23 2019, 09:38 PM) His views on Indiana Jones is interesting. Since Indi fought Nazi. I guess he still associate Japanese with Nazi....  There is a scene that showed them in India eating monkey brains and insects, that is racist. Miyazaki sympathized with socialist ideals btw.

QUOTE(KLthinker91 @ Mar 23 2019, 11:12 PM) ^ Not mentioned in the article? And please lah. Just because Trump has fixated on a wall, doesn't mean all walls throughout the history of man and literature are now tainted by association  have some fricking perspective So what He still no balls to address the issue what If he hold his own people to the same ideal as he holds Americans, he should be "anti sushi, anti Sony, anti Toyota, anti macha" because all these things represent the rape of Nanking Boycott all those lah kalo berani Sorry, I mean in movies, LOTR wasn't racist, but in the context of WWZ it certainly is.

QUOTE(KLthinker91 @ Mar 24 2019, 12:48 AM) What did you find racist about WWZ? It was poorly explained in the movie, but it was a strategic decision made by all nations to wall off the infected zones and the virus free zones Well, the illustration that the Gaza as infected are almost blatant.

QUOTE(oucheev @ Mar 24 2019, 07:19 AM) I never like this 2 movies as he romanticize the subject and only paint Japanese as the victims of WW2. Grave of the Fireflies is one of the saddest movie ever made but if you think further he made a movie about suffering of Japanese but the rest of the world suffers even worst than Japanese. It is hypocritical for him to criticize American movies but he himself did the same thing where he made one side as victim but ignoring others as victims too. Wind Rises is worst. He made the man who invented Zero, a pure war machine into some sort of pacifist. Nobody who create war machine can claim themselves as pacifists later. He received money for his creation. Miyazaki never made Grave of the Fireflies, in fact he commented that he couldn't make such a film as this. It was made by Isao Takahata of the same company. Grave of the fireflies wasn't intended to portray the nation as a victim, instead it was criticism of how individuals suffers under oppressive society, where human relationships broken down.
