Fujii wanted to enroll in a [[Mixed-sex education|co-ed school]], so he went to Rissho High School, the same school as his kendo instructor.<ref name=bushido20180714/> After entering high school, he became interested in movies, and it was his habit to stop by the [[video rental shop]] in front of the local station every day after kendo club activities to rent one movie and go home.<ref name=fashionpress20220220>{{cite web |title=映画『余命10年』藤井道人監督にインタビュー、"一人の人間が生きた歴史を重ねた"ヒューマンドラマ |url=https://www.fashion-press.net/news/84533 |website=Fashion press |access-date=2024-10-12 |language=Japanese |date=2022-02-20}}</ref> At the time, his favorite films included [[Michel Gondry]]'s ''[[Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind]]'', [[Wong Kar-wai]]'s ''[[Chungking Express]]'', and [[Shunji Iwai]]'s ''[[Swallowtail Butterfly (film)|Swallowtail Butterfly]]''.<ref name=elle20210929>{{cite web |title=新しい試みをスマートに打ち出す次世代映画人の先鋒―藤井道人監督【CINEMA ACTIVE! 撮る人々】 |url=https://www.elle.com/jp/culture/movie-tv/a37714568/cinema-active-michihito-fujii-21-0929/ |website=ELLE |access-date=2024-10-12 |language=Japanese |date=2021-09-29}}</ref> 
He later said that this feeling of "not understanding" was important to him, even though at the time he still did not understand much after watching many film works.<ref name=elle20210929/> He liked the screenplay for ''[[Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind]]'', which inspired him to become a [[filmmaker]].<ref>{{cite web |title=『新聞記者』藤井道人監督インタビュー |url=https://www.tst-movie.jp/int/shimbunkisha-fujiikantoku20190604.html |website=トーキョー女子映画部 |access-date=2024-10-12 |language=Japanese |date=2019-06-28}}</ref> He originally thought of becoming a [[screenwriter]].<ref name=elle20210929>{{cite web |title=新しい試みをスマートに打ち出す次世代映画人の先鋒―藤井道人監督【CINEMA ACTIVE! 撮る人々】 |url=https://www.elle.com/jp/culture/movie-tv/a37714568/cinema-active-michihito-fujii-21-0929/ |website=ELLE |access-date=2024-10-12 |language=Japanese |date=2021-09-29}}</ref>

=== Career ===
Fujii made his commercial directorial debut in 2014 with the film ''Oh! Father''. The film is based on a novel by [[Kotaro Isaka]], and Fujii was initially involved as a screenwriter, he was a stand-in for a director who left halfway through. However the film failed at the [[box office]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Oh! Father (2013) |url=https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt2957250/?ref_=bo_se_r_1 |website=boxofficemojo |access-date=2024-10-13}}</ref> According to Fujii, he was unable to give precise instructions to his staff, whose average age was in the 50s.<ref name=aera20240427/> He lost confidence for a while and immersed himself in independent filmmaking for a while after this.<ref name=cinemacafe20230522>{{cite web |title=【映画と仕事 vol.21】藤井道人監督が考えるプロの映画監督――「運」と「縁」と「恩」に導かれたジャンルレスな映画づくり |url=https://www.cinemacafe.net/article/2023/05/22/85313.html |website=cinemacafe |access-date=2024-10-12 |language=Japanese |date=2023-05-22}}</ref> Later in 2018 he returned to commercial films with ''We Are''.<ref name=aera20240427/>

He said his twenties were a dark time for him, as he was not accepted by the world, and in 2016 he went to Taiwan, his grandfather's homeland, on journey of self-discovery and stayed in [[Taipei]].<ref name=moviewalker20240314/><ref>{{cite web |title=藤井道人監督作品「青の帰り道」。新潟でリバイバル上映。 |url=https://things-niigata.jp/other/aono-kaerimichi/ |website=things-niigata |access-date=2024-10-12 |language=Japanese |date=2019-08-03}}</ref> There he met Toyoharu Kitamura ({{langx|ja|北村豊晴}}, {{lang-zh|北村豐晴}}), who introduced him to Taiwanese film workers.<ref name=oricon20240430/> Fujii went to the production company that produced one of his favorite films, ''[[Monga (film)|Monga]]'', to ask them to let him make a film in Taiwan.<ref name=oricon20240430>{{cite web |title=チャン・チェン×藤井道人監督、「手を組んで数倍の効果を生み出せた」 映画『青春18×2君へと続く道』インタビュー |url=https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2324951/full/ |website=oricon |access-date=2024-10-12 |language=Japanese |date=2024-04-30}}</ref> Producer Roger Huang ({{lang|zh|黃江豐}}), happened to be there at the time.<ref>{{cite web |title=『青春18×2 君へと続く道』日本台湾合作の切なさ究極のラブストーリー |url=https://diceplus.online/feature/410 |website=DICE+ |access-date=2024-10-12 |language=Japanese |date=2024-04-30}}</ref> Fujii did not get the job because he was still unknown at the time, but Roger later watched ''[[The Journalist (2019 film)|The Journalist]]'' and offered Fujii a chance to make ''[[18×2 Beyond Youthful Days]]''.<ref name=oricon20240430/>

Fujii consulted actor Shinnosuke Abe about his [[frustration]] with his work ''Oh! Father'', and together with Abe and actor [[Takayuki Yamada]], they spent four years since 2013 working on the script for ''Day and Night''.<ref name=Sony20241012/> In 2018, Fujii received a call from producer Mitsunobu Kawamura, who saw [[dailies]] of ''Day and Night'' and asked him to direct ''[[The Journalist (2019 film)|The Journalist]]''.<ref>{{cite web |title=藤井道人監督が語る 河村光庸プロデューサーの遺志を継ぐものとして挑んだ『ヴィレッジ』 |url=https://otocoto.jp/interview/ikenobe209/ |website=otocoto |access-date=2024-10-12 |language=Japanese |date=April 22, 2023}}</ref> At first, Fujii turned it down twice because he was not interested in [[politics]] or [[Social issue|social issues]], but Kawamura did not give up after that and eventually asked him three times to direct the film, which he accepted.<ref name=natalie20230407>{{cite web |title=河村光庸から受け継いだもの 前編 藤井道人インタビュー |url=https://natalie.mu/eiga/column/517958 |website=natalie |access-date=2024-10-12 |language=Japanese |date=2023-04-07}}</ref> The movie ''[[The Journalist (2019 film)|The Journalist]]'' was released in 2019 to great response and won the 43rd [[Japan Academy Film Prize for Picture of the Year]],<ref name=natalie20230407/> and Fujii became famous as a film director.
