Miyazaki creates complex fantastical
worlds that function according to their own mysterious but incontrovertible logic — and then
embeds those
worlds within equally specific
real - life
settings (so that, for example, the magical undersea kingdom
in Ponyo believably exists side by side with the bustling small port city where the human hero, Sōsuke, lives with his mother).
«Statesman» is a term he uses «to connote the General Counsel's search,
in a practical,
real -
world setting, for what is the right action for a corporation
embedded in the broader community.»
