#boy and the heron

[followingpatterns]

"You creators, you higher men! One is pregnant only with one's own child. Do not let yourselves be gulled and beguiled! Who, after all, is your neighbor? And even if you act "for the neighbor" you still do not create for him. Unlearn this "for," you creators! Your very virtue wants that you do nothing "for" and "in order" and "because." You shall plug up your ears against these false little words. "For the neighbor" is only the virtue of the little people: there one says "birds of a feather" and "one hand washes the other." They have neither the right nor the strength for your egoism. In your ego- ism, you creators, is the caution and providence of the pregnant. What no one has yet laid eyes on, the fruit: that your whole love shelters and saves and nourishes. Where your whole love is, with your child, there is also your whole virtue. Your work, your will, that is your "neighbor": do not let yourselves be gulled with false values!"

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, "On The Higher Man", section 11.

love the new ghibli protagonist. what a little freak (affectionate). he has NO chill. a kid shoves him at the start of the movie and he instantly tackles them and proceeds to fight his entire class. he bashed his head in with a rock and tried to walk it off. the bird in his garden was doing funny things and he instantly starts making plans to murder it. was ready to beat the shit out of that pelican. i just know if he was allowed to curse he would have called that heron a bitch ass mother fucker. mahito was NOT fucking around.

The Grey Heron from recent Miyazaki's movie! I liked it a lot, especially this character, so I decided to sketch them :)

The boy and the heron fanart. This movie means a lot to me I saw it early thanks to my friend and guys it’s so good. I love it a lot and I think it’s a beautiful message Miyazaki has to artist and young people. He’s saying don’t try to continue legacy or be perfect or the next Miyazaki live life he felt he wasted his. Read a book, spend time with your loved ones, and make friends. Life is more than our passions and careers. Which is what I needed to hear y’all will love it

new trope I think The Boy and The Heron utilizes:

Refusal of the Call but with the upgrade of trying to Shoot the Messenger the whole time

[ghibli-collector]

New NHK Studio Ghibli Documentary following Hayao Miyazaki during the making of Boy and the Heron ends with a hint that Miyazaki’s next film may be a long awaited sequel to 1984’s Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.

I love love love how the boy and the heron can have so many different readings for the same exact sequences. Its about surviving its about processing trauma its about legacy its about creation and destruction, its about this one specific old guys personal ghosts and fears and hopes but its also about war and our own lives, its about shouldering the whole world and watching it crumble to nothing its about choosing our path but also just existing and living, sons and mothers and fathers and family continuing through us and from us but also not because we're our own person and thats beautiful regardless, its about standing witness to evil and goodness and all in between and forging ahead through time and existing, and its also about the funkiest little guys ever.
