Gorō Miyazaki (宮崎 吾朗, Miyazaki Gorō, born January 21, 1967) is a Japanese film director and landscaper. He is the son of animator Hayao Miyazaki, co-founder of Studio Ghibli.

He has directed two films, Tales from Earthsea (2006) and From up on Poppy Hill (2011).

Biography

Gorō Miyazaki est le fils du réalisateur et scénariste de film d'animation japonais Hayao Miyazaki.

Après avoir obtenu son diplôme en agriculture et sciences de la Forêt à l'université Shinshū, Gorō Miyazaki obtient un poste en tant que consultant en aménagement urbain. Il prend part à d'ambitieux projets architecturaux et des parcs boisés urbains.
Sa vie prend un tournant lorsqu'en 1998 il reçoit des demandes de la part du producteur Toshio Suzuki, lui offrant la possibilité de diriger le Musée Ghibli de Mitaka. Après de nombreux refus, il finit par accepter le poste en 2001. Ce faisant, il entre directement dans le studio d'enregistrement de son père, Hayao Miyazaki.


Passage à la réalisation : Les Contes de Terremer
Gorō Miyazaki a toujours refusé de suivre les traces de son père, jusqu'à juin 2005, où le producteur général Toshio Suzuki le persuade de réaliser quelques planches et les storyboard du quinzième film des studios Ghibli, Les Contes de Terremer (Gedo Senki) que Hayao Miyazaki projetait de réaliser depuis plus de vingt ans. Après avoir observé ses esquisses, Suzuki lui délègue la direction du film. Cet acte s'inscrit dans la recherche de successeurs à Hayao Miyazaki et Isao Takahata, réalisateurs piliers du Studio Ghibli. Une recherche amorcée dès la fin des années 90, avec la réalisation de Si tu tends l'oreille par Yoshifumi Kondō, jusque-là animateur pour le studio. Satisfait, Miyazaki père annonce sa retraite après la réalisation de Princesse Mononoké en 1997. Mais la mort brutale de Kondō l'oblige à revenir au studio. En 2002, nouvelle tentative avec la réalisation du Royaume des Chats par Hiroyuki Morita, mais malgré sa récente déclaration, Miyazaki revient deux ans plus tard avec Le Château ambulant.

Hayao Miyazaki n'était pas d'accord pour que son fils Gorō devienne réalisateur, car celui-ci manquait d'expérience. Pendant la réalisation du film ils ne se sont pas parlés. Malgré tout, le jeune Miyazaki était déterminé à achever le projet.

Le 28 juin 2006, lors de la première projection des Contes de Terremer (Gedo Senki), contre toute attente il est présent.
Lors de la projection, durant laquelle il n'adresse pas même un regard à son fils, Hayao Miyazaki sort au bout d'une heure. Après la représentation, il déclare à la télévision que « Un film ne se résume pas seulement aux sentiments », et « qu'il n'est pas encore adulte », en parlant de son fils.

En 2011, Miyazaki réalise La Colline aux coquelicots basé sur le manga éponyme de Chizuru Takahashi et Tetsurō Sayama. L'adaptation est écrite par Hayao Miyazaki et Keiko Niwa. Miyazaki y interprète également la voix du professeur d'histoire et écrit les paroles de certaines des chansons. La Colline aux coquelicots sort au Japon le 16 juillet 2011. En 2012, le film remporte le prix du Meilleur film d'animation de l'année 2011 (Animation of the Year) de la Japan Academy.

The documentary delves into the life of Hayao Miyazaki and the productions of the animated films The Wind Rises and The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, including various footage of said productions. The footage shown includes the choosing of Hideaki Anno as the voice actor for the character Jiro Horikoshi in The Wind Rises as well as the extensive and detailed amount of storyboarding sketched, inked, and painted by Miyazaki. It notes Miyazaki's opinions on subjects such as the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster and Zero planes, and shows his tensions with some of the other staff, including Isao Takahata, and his memories of his father. The film illustrates the importance of Miyazaki, Takahata, and Toshio Suzuki's works altogether to help Studio Ghibli be successful, and concludes with mention of Miyazaki's supposed official retirement.
