Study Buddy (Challenger): Studio Ghibli turns 40, but fans worry about the future of the animation studio
Content provided by British Council Read the following text, and answer questions 1-9 below [1] Japan's Studio Ghibli turns 40 this month, with two Oscars and legions of fans, young and old, won over by its films' complex plots and hand-drawn animation. But the future of the studio is uncertain. Its latest hit, The Boy and the Heron, is likely the final feature from its celebrated co-founder Hayao Miyazaki, now 84. [2] The studio behind the Oscar-winning Spirited Away has become a cultural phenomenon since Miyazaki and the late Isao Takahata established it in 1985. Its popularity has been fuelled recently by a second Academy Award in 2024 for The Boy and the Heron, featuring a voice cast that includes Robert Pattinson, and by Netflix streaming Ghibli films worldwide. [3] Before Ghibli, most anime was made for children. But Miyazaki and Takahata, both from 'the generation that knew war', included darker elements that appeal to adults, Miyazaki's son Goro said. 'It's not all sweet – there's also a bitterness and things like that which are beautifully intertwined in the work,' he said, describing a 'whiff of death' in the films. [4] For younger people who grew up in peacetime, 'it is impossible to create something with the same sense, approach and attitude', Goro said. Even My Neighbor Totoro, with its cuddly forest creatures, is in some ways a 'scary' film that explores the fear of losing a sick mother, he explained. [5] Susan Napier, a professor at Tufts University in the United States and author of Miyazakiworld: A Life in Art, agreed. 'In Ghibli, you have ambiguity, complexity and also a willingness to see that the darkness and light often go together,' unlike good-versus-evil US cartoons, she said. [6] For example, the post-apocalyptic Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind has no obvious villain. The anime, featuring an independent princess curious about giant insects and a poisonous forest, felt 'so fresh' and a change from 'a passive woman ... having to be rescued', Napier said. [7] Studio Ghibli films also depict a universe where humans connect deeply with nature and the spirit world. A case in point is 1997's Princess Mononoke. The tale of a girl raised by a wolf goddess in a forest threatened by humans is 'a masterpiece – but a hard movie', Napier said. It's a 'serious, dark and violent' film appreciated more by adults, which 'was not what US audiences had anticipated with a movie about a princess'. [8] Ghibli films 'have an environmentalist and animistic side, which I think is very appropriate for the contemporary world with climate change', she added. Animism is the belief that natural objects and the universe itself have souls. Miyuki Yonemura, a professor at Japan's Senshu University who studies cultural theories on animation, said watching Ghibli films is like reading literature. 'That's why some children watch Totoro 40 times,' she said. [9] Miyazaki and Takahata – who died in 2018 – could create imaginative worlds because of their openness towards other cultures, Yonemura said. Foreign influences included Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, writer of The Little Prince, and Canadian artist Frédéric Back, who won an Oscar for his animation The Man Who Planted Trees. Source: Agence France-Presse, June 9 Questions 1. Based on paragraph 1, a likely reason for Studio Ghibli's success could be its ...

In paragraph 5, what contrast does Napier draw between Studio Ghibli films and US cartoons? 7. Based on your understanding of paragraph 6, what was the typical portrayal of women in anime prior to Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind? 8. Which of the following best describes the conflict presented in Princess Mononoke in paragraph 7?

Girls with Guns: a Hong Kong cinema staple of a bygone era
The Hong Kong film industry's output in the 1980s and 90s was kinetic, breathtaking, bursting with innovation and energy. Films of the era insisted on packing everything possible into the run time, as if they knew something we didn't: the city's economy was booming and filmmakers enjoyed the kind of artistic freedom and backing that was, like the period itself, never going to last forever. A child is dangled from a moving car while Moon Lee Choi-fung clings to the bonnet in 1990's Fatal Termination. Photo: Golden Sun Films One of Hong Kong's most memorable cinema fads of the era became known as Girls with Guns and, like all the best movies from Hong Kong, gave viewers exactly what the name implied: women armed to the teeth, who could wreak just as much havoc with their bare hands. Some of the genre's stars are now recognised globally, such as Michelle Yeoh Choo Kheng and Maggie Cheung Man-yuk . Others, like Yukari Oshima and Jade Leung, are known mostly among aficionados, even if their films were as good or sometimes better than those of more popular stars. For a decade, these films provided their audience with some of the craziest movie experiences available anywhere, and the rise and fall of the genre, along with the reasons behind both, provide a glimpse into the workings of the wider industry at the time. The history of Hong Kong heroines predates the Girls with Guns craze, of course. From Cheng Pei-pei's iconic 1966 performance in King Hu Jinquan's Come Drink with Me to Angela Mao Ying's Golden Harvest kung fu films of the 70s, Hong Kong cinema embraced girl power long before Hollywood, too: Nora Miao Ke-hsiu appeared alongside Bruce Lee Jackie Chan and others, not as arm candy but as a serious presence. Josephine Siao Fong-fong's prolific career has proven her enduring appeal, and even into her 40s she remained a formidable presence, the proof of which can be found in Jet Li 's Fong Sai-yuk films of the early 90s. Moon Lee with the requisite firearm in Fatal Termination. Photo: Golden Sun Films Further precursors to Girls with Guns were early-80s Taiwanese action films. Many female protagonists' names may not ring a bell, but some of these films featured cinematic luminaries such as Cheng Pei-pei , who starred in 1982's Lunatic Frog Women, aka Lady Piranha, aka The Virgin Commandos (any one of which makes for a must-see title). Brigitte Lin Ching-hsia was the lead in 1982's Golden Queen's Commando, as well as its sequel, Pink Force Commando, released the same year. The year also saw the release of The Deadly Angels, a Taiwanese film whose title foreshadowed a staple Girls with Guns franchise in Hong Kong. Hong Kong cinema of the 80s never met a rule it wouldn't break, and the old aphorism of 'there's no reason to ever hit a woman' carried no weight in the industry's freewheeling heyday. Whether that violence was documentary or exploitative, there were many times a female character was punched or kicked and sent flying across a room or through a table, and that same woman would, in the best action-film tradition, stand up, dust herself off, and give it right back to her attacker, more often than not emerging bloodied but victorious. For their time, these scenes could even be seen as progressive. They helped define the cinematic potential for female characters and should be thought of as the predecessors to today's female action stars. The genre's films show little narrative variation. There are women. They have guns. They fight, and they shoot. Then they shoot and fight more. They break things. They break people. Sometimes they win, and sometimes they die. No one watches a Girls with Guns movie for the plot. Corey Yuen Kwai directed the film that started the Girls with Guns genre, Yes, Madam (1985). Photo: SCMP Archives What makes Girls with Guns so exciting are the breathtaking stunts, filmed in ways that assure the viewer they are seeing the actors, not stunt doubles, take very real risks. Even children weren't spared their share of death-defying stunts. A car chase in 1990's Fatal Termination, starring Moon Lee Choi-fung, infamously features a young girl dangling outside a moving car, a terrifying scene created by dangling an actual child outside a moving car. There was a steel beam and cables involved, but the asphalt and gravity were real. In the same sequence, Lee clings precariously to the bonnet of the car, with little evidence of any similar safety measures.

Spark Study Buddy (Challenger): Ghibli's timeless animated magic turns 40
Content provided by British Council [1] Studio Ghibli, Japan's Oscar-winning anime studio, celebrated its 40th anniversary earlier this month. Here are the top five films from the studio that have delighted fans over the decades. [2] Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind: Studio Ghibli was founded in 1985, but this post-apocalyptic story, released in 1984, is considered its first film. It was based on a comic strip series that Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki wrote for a magazine for anime fans. [3] The movie is set 1,000 years after a war that destroyed human civilisation. The story takes place in a valley protected from toxic air coming from poisonous forests. The story centres on Nausicaä, who discovers the secrets of the forests. Nausicaä gets involved in wars between countries trying to bring back a dangerous 'giant warrior'. [4] My Neighbour Totoro: This beloved Ghibli classic is set in the 1950s Japanese countryside where two young sisters with a sick mother move from the city. They meet the cuddly yet mysterious forest spirit Totoro and Catbus. Catbus is a 12-legged smiling cat with a hollow body in the form of a bus. Both these characters have become Studio Ghibli mascots. The film was turned into a play for the first time by Britain's Royal Shakespeare Company in 2022. [5] Princess Mononoke: The tale of a girl raised by a wolf goddess in a forest threatened by humans was a smash hit in Japan. The film also made Miyazaki popular internationally. It tells the story of a young prince on a journey to find a cure for his curse. He meets San, also known as Princess Mononoke – meaning spirit or monster in Japanese. The prince seeks ways to prevent wars between harmful humans and animal gods, focusing on nature as the ultimate god. [6] Spirited Away: This is the film that won Miyazaki his first Oscar. It is about a girl who gets lost in a mystical world of gods and spirits. She tries to save her parents, who have been turned into pigs. To survive, 10-year-old Chihiro is told by a mysterious boy to get a job at a Japanese bathhouse run by a witch. In a story full of Japanese beliefs and traditions, Chihiro gains confidence through her work. [7] The Boy and the Heron: This is Miyazaki's second film to win an Oscar and is likely to be the 84-year-old's last. The story follows a boy struggling to accept his new life after his mother dies in the firebombing of Tokyo during World War II. Everything changes when he meets a talking heron. He then goes on a journey to an alternate universe, shared by the living and the dead, in search of his stepmother. Source: Agence-France Presse, June 6 Questions 1.
