Back to Indexįox-squirrels made a cameo appearance in the garden of Laputa. To the Fleischer brothers' "Superman" (episode #2, Which Miyazaki wrote and directed in 1980. Actually, they're very similar to the design of the robot in According to Miyazaki's brother, their mother was as mentally tough as Dola. The possibility of Sheeta becoming like Dola, well, time will tell. Pazu, who also wants to be an engineer, was building his own plane at his house.
Further, Dola's late husband (some fansubs mistook the old engineer as her husband, but he is just her good friend) was a genius engineer, and invented the flapters (the dragonfly-like machine the pirates fly). More importantly, Sheeta shows the same kind of toughness, bravery, and intelligence which made Dola such a great pirate. She (Dola) is rather beautiful, and it could be said that she looks somewhat like Sheeta. ^_^ In Dola's bedroom, there is a painting of a girl with pigtails. Q: Dola said that Sheeta was exactly like her when she was young. He sends lighting down to punish humans, and that is called 'Indra's arrow'. Indra is a God who commands thunder and rain. "Ramayana" is a Hindu epic saga, written in the 4th Century B.C., which is a story about a Prince Rama and his wife, Shita (!). Q: Muska called Laputa's fire "Indra's arrow in 'Ramayana'".

However, they became too dependent on the highly advanced mechanical civilization, which eventually weakened their Platon wrote that Laputatilis was built by a people with a highly advanced civilization to escape from war. The early draft of "Laputa" explains that Laputa first appeared in history as "Laputatilis", in Platon's lost geography, "The Book of Sky". Read more on this subject on Marc Hairston's Laputa Name page. Now, with Disney acquiring the global distribution rights for it, we are wondering how Disney is going to market it in Spanish-speaking countries (including the US). It is not clear whether Miyazaki knew the origin of this word or not, but he could've avoided the problem only if he'd stuck to his original plan of spelling it as "Raputa" (the Japanese language doesn't differentiateīetween L and R). It means "prostitute" (or worse - it's really indecent, so we can't tell you), and Swift apparently knew this when he named the island. "Laputa" is actually a (really) bad word in People who literally have their "heads in the clouds".Īt first, Miyazaki wanted to make a film about a "flying Treasure Island", and he borrowed the name "Laputa" from Swift's book. "Laputa" is a floating island in Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels", though according to Pazu, Swift's Laputa "is just a story in a book", and his Laputa is for real.

Story and the scenery of the depressed mining town (he being a former chairman of a union) affected him, and made him put the scene of the townfolk fighting with the pirates in the movie. Miyazaki went to Wales for location hunting, and learned that the town had had a huge labor dispute the year before. The Slug Ravine, where Pazu lived was modeled after a mining town in Wales. According to Miyazaki, he wrote "Laputa" as a "science fiction novel which was written in the end of It is believed to have taken place at the end of the 19th Century or the beginning of the 20th Century, in an alternate universe where flying technology was more advanced (a la Verne).
