My Favorite Movie Director: Hayao Miyazaki

Today I will talk about the movie director that I like the most, Hayao Miyazaki.

Hayao is a Japanese screenwriter and director who is recognized worldwide as one of the greatest animation filmmakers. He is co-founder of Studio Ghibli, the best film and animation studio I’ve known.

He directed multiple films with Studio Ghibli like Castle in the Sky and My Neighbor Totoro. I think I was 10 when I saw a movie directed by Hayao for the first time, although at that time I didn't like them as much as now. I can currently say that I have lost count of how many times I have watched each movie.

I love the movies that Hayao Miyazaki directs because they all have beautiful animations, I love the landscapes he draws on them. The growth of the characters he creates always excites me. I also love the soundtrack he chooses because with it each movie becomes a perfect combination of music and animation.

Howl's Moving Castle is my favorite movie of him. It is about a love story between a woman cursed by a witch named Sophie and a wizard named Howl.
