#OTD Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎 駿) was born in 1941. His wildly popular animated films beautifully bring themes like environmentalism, feminism, communism, and pacifism to life. He refused to attend the Oscars due to the US’s involvement in Iraq, and he has openly critiqued Shinzo Abe and his militarism, Western leaders, and industrial civilization in general.
