“When a man is shooting a handgun, it's just like he is shooting because that's his job, and he has no other choice. It's no good. When a girl is shooting a handgun, it's really something.”
-Hayao Miyazaki
It is pretty clear of what Miyazaki means by this quote. In his films, he always tends to use something amazing and exciting, like shooting a gun, and add something a little special and different to bring it to a whole new level.
It is no wonder Miyazaki tends to put more emphasis on his female characters. He may be considered sort of a mainstream animator due to his popularity and influence through his films, but he definitely incorporates unusual aspects into his film.
