( Ni ): "I didn't start out with a heroine called Suzume. The concept of "closing doors" came first. For example...when I go back to my home town in Nagano or visit other areas in Japan I see more and more sights that are a bit somber. Less people, more greenery, more animals. It's powerful in a sense, but people are dissappeareing from places they used to be. The COVID-19 pandemic in Shinjuku where I live, the town must've been emptier than it was in centuries. No people on the streets. It felt like I was seeing a scene from the future. Seeing such sights these past few years...when we cultivate new land or build new houses we conduct ground-breaking ceremonies, we pray to the gods for a sturdy house and a happy family. But what do we do when people dissappear? Practically nothing. No ceremonies, not like ground-breaking ceremonies. But as the sights are getting increasingly somber I wondered have we could get closure to them. That was the inspiration behind the story of "closing doors".

Of course, I paid a lot of attention to what people were saying about the film. A lot of people said it was fun. Some, however, thought that it was a complete fantasy, or a hoax, because you can’t revive people from the dead. They are lost and gone. So, there was some criticism of the core concept of that film, which then led me to work on Weathering With You, where the concept was about sacrificing one person versus the masses, and if that is a scale that can ever be balanced. And again, there was a group of people who had criticisms — that, hey, how can you not sacrifice one person when there’s millions of people whose lives are going to be affected by this one deed? So again, taking that feedback into consideration, I arrived at the concept of Suzume."

In Suzume, he was more selective with comments Secondarily (maybe) his love to science fiction; his very very techical skills and a high capacity to solve composition problems in film production. Se: His movies (principally all before Your Name) are about internal monologues, not about the actions of their characters. In this first period, Shinkai talks about the people in his life leaving without him realizing him noticing. (So sad, and very common in Ni - doms, I think). Contradictorily, he always had a really good sense of reality and put them in his films (rain, food, light, landscapes, clouds and a lot of insane details). I think that Shinkai developed his Se: he included a little more action in Your name, then increased it in Weathering with You, and finally in Suzume he omitted internal monologues and created an action movie. I think that He IS an INFJ, and even if it's not, I think is someone who always seeks to improve himself, and that is admirable.
Biography
Makoto Shinkai (born February 9, 1973), born Makoto Niitsu, is a Japanese animated movie director best known for creating productions possessing incredible artwork, each involving bittersweet plots about the distance between his romantic leads. After working at Falcom for five years and knowing composer Tenmon, he left the company to independently create animated films, and has worked at the animation studio CoMix Wave Films since. Shinkai is famous for drawing, producing, and even voicing Voices of a Distant Star himself and for the extreme success it had despite its humble creation. He has been referred to as "the new Miyazaki" by some, although he himself dislikes the nickname, citing it as an "overestimation" and asserting that their styles are quite different. In 2016, Shinkai's 6th film, Your Name, became the highest-grossing anime film of all time worldwide, as well as the second-highest grossing anime film in Japan (behind only Spirited Away) at the time.
