Miyazaki is a GOAT, he even dunked on his own son by coming back to do another film to show how it's done.
Because I will immediately sit down and watch a Ghibli film that is halfway through and I've seen it dozens of times whereas Weinsteins films I can take or leave.
Apples to oranges, though. Miyazaki is a creator/director. Weinstein was a producer, which is not a creative role.
Weinstein was a producer on a lot of fantastic movies. Kill Bill, for example, which is one of my favorite flicks, was produced by Mirimax, his company.
Edit: in fact the reason Kill Bill is in 2 parts is somewhat related to the OP: Weinstein wanted Tarantino to cut it down to one movie that was 2-3 hours long, and Tarantino wanted it to be one 4.5 hour long movie, so the compromise was they made it two movies. Just a fun fact.
Studio ghibli is huge, they don't have to take any shit from a foreign producer. I'm glad they didn't kowtow to any one. Doesn't matter where your film is from, producers are fucking cancer that only ruin films and games.
It'll be hilarious if some crazed and incarcerated studio Ghibli fanatic shivs Weinstein in prison. And whispers in his ear "Miyazaki sends his regards".
Fuck Weinstein, but let's not forget that Miyazaki is a literal Communist. Princess Mononoke would now be considered "woke" if released in 2024 under someone else's name.
Capable male tames savage wolf girl and helps save her and her forest which would have been lost without him. Woman in charge of town because she leads the whore house and makes the most money. Yeah crazy woke.
Both main women are psychos hell bent on destroying each other until the man comes in and stops them through force. Man makes consistent sacrifices earning the respect of everyone around him by being the pillar they rely on.

I don't think this would happen actually. Female anime characters don't usually cause a row, no matter how powerful, because people can see there's no agenda behind them.
Also, the corrupting effects of the musket balls shouldn't be seen as woke politics. Instead of taking a specific point and contriving the story to hammer it down, Miyazaki takes a point and universalizes it through symbolism so that it separates from the crude moorings of reality and provokes emotion and introspection from many angles. One of those angles, of course, is the environment, but human industry does sometimes damage nature and that subject does deserve consideration and restraint.
Honestly I don't care about the political beliefs of an individual as long as they're not preaching about it in their works. Of course his personal beliefs flow into his works, that is almost impossible to avoid. I've not watched every single one of his films but the worst offender I've personally watched was The Wind Rises and that one still doesn't come close to the average western production. Native Japanese might see that different though.
He's a great artist and for that I respect him even if he's not exactly a great person in private.
Yes. It's been awhile since I've seen that one but the anti-imperial Japan sentiment was pretty on the nose if I recall correctly. At least for Miyazaki standards.
I was once told that "Shin Godzilla could only have been made by a Japanese nationalist that got over himself"--that is, he wasn't a nationalist anymore.
Haven't seen the movie, so I don't know how true that is.
But to tie that into the above, Hideaki Anno did that one.
Typical Hollywood bullshit. It's the same shit we saw in GamerGate. Elites in the industry protecting corruption with cronyism.
Also, I know OP's being a faggot, but let's not reduce Harvey Weinstien to "a jew". Not only is it retarded jew-hatred, but it's also an insult to what Miyazaki actually did, since he stood up to one of the most powerful, corrupt, an influential sex traffickers in Hollywood.

One reason your posts aren't as compelling as the J narrative you despise is that you lather up clear details with words like "cronyism" that don't improve anyone's understanding of the issue. Where is the cronyism here? Alpert isn't Weinstein's employee and there's no mention of kickbacks or other bribes. Also, Weinstein's predilection for cutting movies is dumb, but from what I can tell there's no corrupt ulterior motive. It's a creative industry and people have strange ideas about what sells. The only gift in this story is from... Miyazaki.
One might argue that only a corrupt industry replete with favoritism and blackmail would allow someone like Weinstein to keep power... but that would have something to do with 60% of the power players in Hollywood being Jewish in a 1980s survey.
And yet the assertion that it is self-evident that a full blown international, intertemporal, racial conspiracy to exterminate the white race makes sense? No, I don't think so.
Yes, it's cronyism, because all corruption requires cronyism. As a tyrant, you require loyalty among your subordinates and surrogates. That requires glad-handing, bribes, influence-peddling, and providing your subordinates and surrogates with things they are otherwise not merited to achieve on their own. This isn't new, this exists, this has been the case in all societies that have ever experienced corruption.
Harvey Weinstein is so well known for corruption and influence peddling it's not denied, and we have the recordings of him trying to pressure women to have sex with him, and we have plenty of women themselves explicitly stating that you can't be popular in Hollywood unless you sleep with him.
But, you've now demanded that I prove that this, and only this, specific request to cut a single movie from Miyazaki was corrupt in anyway, otherwise my claim that Miyazaki stood up to one of the most powerful and corrupt people in Hollywood is false.
But then you accept that he is the powerful and corrupt:
Weinstein to keep power... but that would have something to do with 60% of the power players in Hollywood being Jewish in a 1980s survey.
Ah yes, because only jews are biologically capable of corruption? Oh wait, that doesn't make any sense, and your assertion is beyond asinine. It can't possibly be that corrupt people build networks of corruption to protect their power, it can only be racialism that preforms any corrupt act.
You ask me to prove that corruption exists at all within my claim, and then press the counter-claim that an entire race, through all time and space, is capable only of corruption, and your claim is so patently self-evident it requires no proof whatsoever.
And yet the assertion that it is self-evident that a full blown international, intertemporal, racial conspiracy to exterminate the white race makes sense? No, I don't think so.
I agree. What we have here is not a conspiracy but a tightly bonded ethnic group with a shared sense of their own history and destiny who has strong antipathy towards the dominant white Christian outgroup in much the same way that oh, Africans don't tend to have fuzzy feelings about colonialists. But expressed through a much higher IQ. Now you can reevaluate your febrile post.

Your claim that Miyazaki stood up to one of the most powerful and corrupt Hollywood execs is true but your claim that this story is "corruption and cronyism" is dubious.
Is Miyazaki a woman? Is Alpert a woman? Did Harvey try to roger him? Is pressuring Miyazaki to cut his movie some kind of unethical business decision?
Africans don't tend to have fuzzy feelings about colonialists. But expressed through a much higher IQ. Now you can reevaluate your febrile post.
Except you have literally less than zero evidence of this being the case, and asserting that me pointing out the documented fact that Harvey Weinstein is corrupt needs a Gish Gallop to be at least considered.
Here let me re-consider my post from you point: it looks like you want to switch topics to the legitimacy or racialism based on a conspiracy theory you prefer, starting by pushing sophistic bullshit, which tells me that I'm right to re-iterate that being a reductive jew-hater benefits no one except race grifting retards.

Hey look, you invented a claim that I didn't make for me.
He stood up to one of the most powerful and corrupt men in Hollywood. Deal with it.
And yet the assertion that it is self-evident that a full blown international, intertemporal, racial conspiracy to exterminate the white race makes sense?
No, it's just that some Jews are Jewish supremacist assholes. Such as the ones who run an industry based almost entirely on nepotism and child trafficking that overwhelmingly hires other Jews who may or may not also be Jewish supremacists.
Based Miyazaki. The Jew truly does fear the Samurai.
Miyazaki is a GOAT, he even dunked on his own son by coming back to do another film to show how it's done.

I’m curious if it was a “samurai” sword or a tanto. If it was a tanto, it had to have been a symbolic jester of “Go Kill Yourself.”
From what I understand, it was a katana. Prop comedy, basically.
"I defeated him."
Fucking based.
Well, now... huh. Hmmm.

Why was Miramax involved if the deal was with Disney?
Disney was their parent company from 1993 to 2010.
That explains it, thanks!
Studio ghibli is huge, they don't have to take any shit from a foreign producer. I'm glad they didn't kowtow to any one. Doesn't matter where your film is from, producers are fucking cancer that only ruin films and games.

I wonder what he wanted to cut and why.
Fuck Weinstein, but let's not forget that Miyazaki is a literal Communist. Princess Mononoke would now be considered "woke" if released in 2024 under someone else's name.

Never watched it, so its like, what? A slice of life anime based on the real world?
It’s an epic based heavily on Japanese mythology and the change from natures gods and demons controlling man to man’s control over nature.
I don't think this would happen actually. Female anime characters don't usually cause a row, no matter how powerful, because people can see there's no agenda behind them.
Also, the corrupting effects of the musket balls shouldn't be seen as woke politics.

He's a great artist and for that I respect him even if he's not exactly a great person in private.
The Wind Rises? Isn't that the one where he cast Hideaki fucking Anno in the lead role?
Anno is brilliant, but as an actor?
Yes. It's been awhile since I've seen that one but the anti-imperial Japan sentiment was pretty on the nose if I recall correctly. At least for Miyazaki standards.
I was once told that "Shin Godzilla could only have been made by a Japanese nationalist that got over himself"--that is, he wasn't a nationalist anymore.

Some people here prefer communists over any Jew.

There’s a reason “Check Early Life” is a meme.
Confirmation bias?
Yes, it is a meme for professional morons attempting to psychologically condition people.

No, it's just that some Jews are Jewish supremacist assholes. Such as the ones who run an industry based almost entirely on nepotism and child trafficking that overwhelmingly hires other Jews who may or may not also be Jewish supremacists.
And usually the likes of Gizortnik will say they only run industries like that because of high IQs.
"Gizortnik doesn't believe that Russian jews ever farmed"
Really? Fantasict, then perhaps a bit of nuance wouldn't hurt.
Dude, take a break and eat some matzah or something.
The jews live rent free in their heads.
ironic, given the stereotype
It is a bit of amusing irony to me.
Jews know how to find and take advantage of empty spaces.
Like attics, and tunnels.
