Hayao Miyazaki Calls Charlie Hebdo Cartoons a "Mistake"
Last month, the Paris offices of satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo were attacked, leaving twelve dead. Recently, however, famed Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki said he believes the French paper's Muhammad cartoons were a "mistake."
In a TBS radio interview, Miyazaki discussed the shooting, which took the lives of several of France's most famous satirical cartoonists. Miyazaki is a co-founder of Studio Ghibli and responsible for iconic anime like My Neighbor Totoro.
"For me, I think it's a mistake to make caricatures of what different cultures worship," said Miyazaki when asked about the Hebdo attack [via Yahoo! News]. "It's a good idea to stop doing that."
That doesn't mean Miyazaki is against satire or criticism. For him, caricatures should be used in a different manner.
"First and foremost, [caricatures] should be made of your own country's politicians." According to 47News, Miyazaki added, "It's just looks suspect to go after political leaders from other countries."
Мы все, конечно, Чарли, но это не мешает ощущать, что от Чарли пахнет. А пахнет, в общем-то, советскими военкорами - с "лейкой" и блокнотом, а то и с пулеметом и пусть к штыку приравняют перо.
ЗЫ. Кстати, кто знает, что это за "лейка"? А если без гугля? А если с гуглем?
