Hi, I'm Tim and welcome back to a very special episode of Forgotten Ghibli. In this chapter, we dive into not a specific film, but rather the forlorn story of a forgotten Miyazaki.
This video took two months to create, so I hope you enjoy it! If you did, please consider sharing it with someone else who you think will.
This is the tale of a complex and contentious father-son relationship - an examination of two separate, yet inseparable lives ensnared by the unforgiving demands of artistry.
Hayao Miyazaki is renowned for his prowess and accomplishments throughout the history of the animated film industry. Almost everyone is familiar with his most famous and prolific of masterpieces, but one of his most overlooked creations is his first born son, Goro Miyazaki.
For his entire life, Goro only knew his father through his animation, as Hayao was often absent due to preoccupations with his work. This inevitably led to Goro's fervent desire to better understand his father, and ultimately, to follow in his footsteps - the world of directing animation.
Goro has directed 3 films, as well as Ghibli's only animated series. While they have received mixed critical acclaim, this essay focuses on the complicated and strenuous relationship between him and his father.
