I’ve been watching a lot of anime lately, particularly all of Hayao Miyazaki’s films. Like “Princess Mononoke,” “Nausicaa: Valley of the wind,” and “Laputa: Castle in the Sky.” All great anime.

Miyazaki’s themes are pacifism, harmony with nature, flying aircraft, floating castles, etc.

These are all themes that can be found in James Cameron’s “Avatar.”

So I decided to do some research. Because after watching “Avatar,” I was like Cameron who wrote the script must have watched a Miyazaki film or all of them. Moreover, he must have watched all kinds of anime, but especially Miyazaki films.

Anyway I checked his IMDB page and Cameron does indeed watch anime: “He is a huge Japanese anime fan, and the releasing studios often uses his opinion about the film on the DVD and VHS covers.”

If Miyazaki made a live action film, it would be something like Avatar.

I mean Cameron used all Miyazaki elements. Floating Mountains, harmony with the planet, advanced flying aircraft, pacifism.

I KNEW IT!

After watching Avatar I was like so sure that Cameron watched Miyazaki and other anime.

I like when I’m right.

In the future I will review the anime I’ve watched too.

Just had to say this :D

It would be awesome if Miyazaki had the 300 million budget to make a live action film instead of an anime. But his anime films are awesome as well.
