So in Japan it's OK to make a cartoon that romanticizes the life of a war weaponry engineer? Based or cringe?

This looks like shit.

It wouldn't be as bad if they acknowledged and apologized for their war crimes.

ok bud

He saved billions

americans don't care for the beauty of engineering, they'd rather make another movie about woke politics bullshit

kek. whitetoids BTFO

I've seen better animation in moe garbage

Make a comfort women movie Miyafaggot

he killed untold trillions

Considering this movie never once showed the character having morality doubts over where his project was going, and just seemed wrapped up in a fantasy of his plane being made made it feel like a propaganda piece. I'll stick with Grave of the Fireflies.

insectoids don't have moral quandaries

I want an anime about arisaka

This is almost certainly bait, but whatever.

The movie doesn't romanticize his life or works, but instead poses the question of whether someone's passion project can still be admired, even when the results are missued. this theme is explored several times over, from numerous perspectives, including the protangists, the italian aviator he dreams of, the German scientists and his wife's opinion. There isn't a straight forward conclusion, so you can draw your own based on the stances presented.

The whole romance arc is there because the story is semi-biographical, but I suspect they also put it in to widen the sales demographic.

Is that Louis de Funès?

This. A movie free of politics is impossible in current hollywood
Let alone a movie without infantile morals, not formulaic themes, no villians, or aesthetic visuals

According to Miya-san, because all the young VAs sound the same. I can see his point, modern Japanese VAs are more idols than actual VAs. Miyazaki wanted Anno because according to him, Anno had a very special raspy voice that sound from another time and Anno may be the most damaged man in Japan. That make him perfect for the role. Anno wasn't too confident about doing voice acting, he only made cameo roles before, but pic related

Speaking of which, what war weaponry engineers could have a great biopics?
I mean John Browning was the best designer ever (I mean who could even argue), but his life was really boring and all he did was sit in his office/workshop and worked on guns

Hiram Maxim on the other hand had pretty wild career, invented mousetrap, fought with Edison over light bulb patent, traveled the world, tried to build a helicopter but it didn't go anywhere (it would probably work with a modern petrol engine) and instead went on to work on fairground rides of all things and died during WWI, after his most famous invention he sold to both sides already killed hundreds of thousands of men.

some of these quotes are begging to put in a movie
>Hang your chemistry and electricity! If you want to make a pile of money, invent something that will enable these Europeans to cut each others' throats with greater facility.
>Maxim, a longtime sufferer of bronchitis, patented and manufactured a pocket menthol inhaler and a larger "Pipe of Peace", a steam inhaler using pine vapour, that he claimed could relieve asthma, tinnitus, hay fever and catarrh.[9] After being criticised for applying his talents to quackery, he protested that "it will be seen that it is a very creditable thing to invent a killing machine, and nothing less than a disgrace to invent an apparatus to prevent human suffering".[10]

Is it bad that Miyazaki's style is kind of a turn-off for me? I figure i'll like his movies once I actually see them but it's just so cutesy and with all the normies that won't stop acting like liking Miyazaki makes them "nerdy lol" I kind of don't want to see them

They never even mentioned Pearl Harbor!

>The whole romance arc is there because the story is semi-biographical, but I suspect they also put it in to widen the sales demographic.
Miya-san likes his young heroines but also he was projecting his own guilt for not giving attention to his wife and kids. Maybe the romance angle helped to sell the movie to certain demographics but I think Miyazaki genuinely wanted it to be there rather than Suzuki or some sponsor pushing him. It was supposed to be his last film until Your Name became a megahit

Burgers can't appreciate a movie about the mundane. If they make Pinocchio or Bambi today, they'll make a villain to overcome and fill the dialogues with quips

will we ever get a kino about a carpenter working on a door
a door that would be used to house unspeakable horrors
a door to lock jews in the gas chamber

richard feynman alone could fill a whole series
