Examining the messages of his 10 full-length films--from \u003ci\u003eNausicaa\u003c\/i\u003e (1984) to \u003ci\u003eThe Wind Rises\u003c\/i\u003e (2013)--this study analyzes each for its religious, philosophical and ethical implications. Miyazaki's work addresses a coherent set of human concerns, including adolescence, good and evil, our relationship to the past, our place in the natural order, and the problems of living in a complex and ambiguous world. Exhibiting religious influences without religious endorsement, his films urge nonjudgment and perseverance in everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51435917869279,"sku":"9781476664521","price":35.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/VDuNddrLig9781476664521.webp?v=1790052643"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/eric-reinders.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
