Hayao Miyazaki is sharply critical of many aspects of modern life, which is evident in many themes throughout his films. For instance, the gluttony of humanity in Spirited Away, or the rampant industrialisation in Princess Mononoke. Miyazaki himself says: “Modern life is so thin and shallow and fake. I look forward to when developers go bankrupt, Japan gets poorer and wild grasses take over”.
