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":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46476174688407,"sku":"9781476664521","price":1946.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781476664521.jpg?v=1766279572","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-moral-narratives-of-hayao-miyazaki-9781476664521","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
