01:56,560 -- 00:01:58,676
- Good evening.
- Oh, hi, Shizuku.
12
00:
02:03,080 -- 00:02:04,399
I'm back.
13
00:
02:07,400 -- 00:02:08,674
Oh, hi, honey.
14
00:
02:08,760 -- 00:02:11,797
You got a plastic bag
for just one carton of milk?
15
00:
02:11,920 -- 00:02:13,592
What? They just give it to you.
16
00:
02:13,720 -- 00:02:15,631
[Mom] You could say
you don't need it.
17
00:
02:15,720 -- 00:02:16,994
Oh, pour me some of that too.
18
00:
02:17,080 -- 00:02:19,150
Dad, I got ice tea.
Do you want some?
19
00:
02:19,280 -- 00:02:20,474
Ah, sounds good.
20
00:
02:20,560 -- 00:02:22,232
I'll have it at the table.
21
00:
02:22,840 -- 00:02:25,957
- Thanks. Done with the computer?
- I'm printing out now.
22
00:
02:27,040 -- 00:02:29,395
Maybe we should buy another laptop.

00:

[Groaning] Smells like
cigarettes in here.
24
00:
02:32,520 -- 00:02:35,318
Shizuku, you should have
gone to Kashiwazaki too.
25
00:
02:35,400 -- 00:02:37,868
No, I didn't want to.
Shiho wears me out.
26
00:
02:38,880 -- 00:02:40,791
Oh, by the way,
I have to work tomorrow.
27
00:
02:40,920 -- 00:02:43,878
- Do you want me to fix you a lunch?
- That's OK. I'll eat out.
28
00:
02:44,000 -- 00:02:47,879
The library's computerizing everything.
Everybody's going crazy at work.
29
00:
02:47,960 -- 00:02:51,635
I don't think they should, Dad.
Card catalogs are much better.
30
00:
02:51,760 -- 00:02:53,113
Yeah. I like 'em better too.
31
00:
02:53,240 -- 00:02:56,073
[Mom] I think you've got
a problem with your report.
32
00:
02:56,200 -- 00:02:58,839
- What's the problem?
- Isn't there a line missing here?
33
00:
02:58,920 -- 00:03:00,194
[Dad] You're right. Darn.
34
00:
03:00,280 -- 00:03:02,350
I'll have to print
the entire thing over.
35
00:
03:02,480 -- 00:03:05,438
[Mom] Can't I use the printer first?
My professor will kill me
36
00:
03:05,520 -- 00:03:07,636
if I don't have his paper
turned in tomorrow.
37
00:
03:07,760 -- 00:03:09,796
[Shizuku] Seiji Amasawa.
38
00:
03:09,920 -- 00:03:11,797
Here he is again.
39
00:
03:12,800 -- 00:03:15,837
Shizuku, time to put
the books away and go to bed.
40
00:
03:15,920 -- 00:03:17,478
OK, Dad. Good night.
41
00:
03:25,160 -- 00:03:28,197
Yep. I knew I had
seen that name before.
42
00:
03:30,200 -- 00:03:31,838
[Gasping] Here it is again.
43
00:
03:32,720 -- 00:03:33,709
And again.
44
00:
03:33,840 -- 00:03:36,070
Seiji Amasawa.
45
00:
03:36,160 -- 00:03:37,639
Seiji Amasawa.
46
00:
03:37,720 -- 00:03:40,280
Seiji Amasawa. That's amazing.
47
00:
03:40,360 -- 00:03:42,669
This guy checked out
all these books before I did.
48
00:
03:49,680 -- 00:03:51,511
Seiji Amasawa, huh?
49
00:
03:51,600 -- 00:03:53,192
What kind of person are you?
50
00:
03:53,320 -- 00:03:55,117
I wonder if we're anything alike.

00:
04:13,400 -- 00:04:14,674
For heaven sakes, get up!
54
00:
04:14,760 -- 00:04:17,672
- I'm leaving.
- [Groaning]
55
00:
04:18,880 -- 00:04:20,950
Hey, did you sleep
in your clothes again?
56
00:
04:21,080 -- 00:04:22,798
You're so scatterbrained.
57
00:
04:23,600 -- 00:04:24,999
Have a good day.
58
00:
04:28,160 -- 00:04:30,720
Aah! Is it that late?
I'm supposed to meet Yuko.
59
00:
04:32,080 -- 00:04:34,640
- [Door opening]
- Ugh! My wallet!
60
00:
04:35,840 -- 00:04:38,400
Did you get all the way
down the stairs again, Mom?
61
00:
04:38,480 -- 00:04:39,629
Yes!
62
00:
04:39,760 -- 00:04:41,796
Where is it?
63
00:
04:41,920 -- 00:04:44,434
Is it by the telephone?
64
00:
04:44,560 -- 00:04:46,915
- [Mom] Found it!
- You always leave it there.
65
00:
04:47,040 -- 00:04:48,632
[Groaning] I'm gonna be late!
66
00:
04:48,760 -- 00:04:51,354
- Don't forget to lock up!
- Who's scatterbrained?
67
00:
04:55,840 -- 00:04:56,795
[Gasping]
68
00:
04:59,320 -- 00:05:01,788
Wow! I've never seen a blimp so close.
69
00:
05:06,280 -- 00:05:08,032
Today's gonna be great.

05:24,560 -- 00:05:27,028
[People chattering]
71
00:
05:31,680 -- 00:05:33,989
[Sighing] Hot day.
72
00:
05:40,400 -- 00:05:42,914
- [Barking]
- Hi, yappy.
73
00:
05:43,000 -- 00:05:44,956
Can't you bark any louder than that?
74
00:
06:05,800 -- 00:06:08,598
Shizuku! Shizuku! Hey, there.
75
00:
06:08,800 -- 00:06:11,837
Hey, Michiko. Good luck
on your match today.
76
00:
06:14,800 -- 00:06:16,791
Hi, Miss Kosaka. Can I come in?
77
00:
06:16,880 -- 00:06:20,190
Oh, hi, Shizuku.
What are you doing here?
78
00:
06:20,320 -- 00:06:22,072
I need you to do me a favor.
79
00:
06:22,200 -- 00:06:24,475
What? It's not something weird, is it?
80
00:
06:24,600 -- 00:06:27,353
- Can you open the library, please?
- The library?
81
00:
06:27,480 -- 00:06:30,119
Can't you wait until school starts?
82
00:
06:30,200 -- 00:06:31,519
No. That's the point.
83
00:
06:31,640 -- 00:06:34,518
I decided I was gonna read
20 books over summer vacation,
84
00:
06:34,640 -- 00:06:37,108
and the city library
doesn't have the book I want.
85
00:
06:37,240 -- 00:06:38,309
It'll just be a second.
86
00:
06:38,440 -- 00:06:41,398
Twenty books? What about
your high school entrance exams?
87
00:
06:41,520 -- 00:06:43,829
Can't you even pretend
to be studying for them?
88
00:
06:43,960 -- 00:06:44,995
Uh, here it is.
89
00:
06:45,080 -- 00:06:47,753
Hurry up and bring it here.
90
00:
06:47,880 -- 00:06:51,475
Come on, give me your library card
and the checkout card from the book.
91
00:
06:51,600 -- 00:06:53,158
Here you go.
92
00:
06:54,320 -- 00:06:55,594
Hey, look at this.
93
00:
06:55,680 -- 00:06:58,148
No one's ever checked
this book out before.
94
00:
06:58,240 -- 00:06:59,878
No one? What do you know.
95
00:
06:59,960 -- 00:07:01,916
I finally beat Seiji Amasawa.
96
00:
07:05,920 -- 00:07:06,830
[Gasps]
97
00:
07:07,600 -- 00:07:11,513
Donated by... Amasawa?
98
00:
07:11,640 -- 00:07:15,519
No way! Do you have any idea
who this Amasawa person is?
99
00:
07:15,600 -- 00:07:18,114
Oh, now look,
you made me make a mistake.
100
00:
07:18,240 -- 00:07:20,435
Well, that guy's
probably the book's donor.
101
00:
07:20,560 -- 00:07:22,471
I don't know anyone from that long ago.

Hayao Miyazaki

Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎駿, Miyazaki Hayao, born January 5, 1941) is a Japanese film director, producer, screenwriter, animator, author, and manga artist. A co-founder of Studio Ghibli, a film and animation studio, he has attained international acclaim as a masterful storyteller and as a maker of anime feature films, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest animation directors. Born in Bunkyō Ward of Tokyo, Miyazaki expressed interest in manga and animation from an early age, and he joined Toei Animation in 1963. During his early years at Toei Animation he worked as an in-between artist and later collaborated with director Isao Takahata. Notable films to which Miyazaki contributed at Toei include Doggie March and Gulliver's Travels Beyond the Moon. He provided key animation to other films at Toei, such as Puss in Boots and Animal Treasure Island, before moving to A-Pro in 1971, where he co-directed Lupin the Third Part I alongside Takahata. After moving to Zuiyō Eizō (later known as Nippon Animation) in 1973, Miyazaki worked as an animator on World Masterpiece Theater, and directed the television series Future Boy Conan. He joined Telecom Animation Film/Tokyo Movie Shinsha in 1979 to direct his first feature films, The Castle of Cagliostro in 1979 and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind in 1984, as well as the television series Sherlock Hound. Miyazaki co-founded Studio Ghibli in 1985. He directed multiple films with Ghibli, including Castle in the Sky in 1986, My Neighbor Totoro in 1988, Kiki's Delivery Service in 1989, and Porco Rosso in 1992. The films were met with commercial and critical success in Japan. Miyazaki's film Princess Mononoke was the first animated film to win the Japan Academy Prize for Picture of the Year, and briefly became the highest-grossing film in Japan following its release in 1997; its distribution to the Western world greatly increased Ghibli's popularity and influence outside Japan. His 2001 film Spirited Away became the highest-grossing film in Japanese history, winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature at the 75th Academy Awards and considered among the greatest films of the decade. Miyazaki's later films—Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo, and The Wind Rises—also enjoyed critical and commercial success. Following the release of The Wind Rises, Miyazaki announced his retirement from feature films, though he returned to work on a new feature film in 2016. Miyazaki's works are characterized by the recurrence of themes such as humanity's relationship with nature and technology, the wholesomeness of natural and traditional patterns of living, the importance of art and craftsmanship, and the difficulty of maintaining a pacifist ethic in a violent world. The protagonists of his films are often strong girls or young women, and several of his films present morally ambiguous antagonists with redeeming qualities. Miyazaki's works have been highly praised and awarded; he was named a Person of Cultural Merit for outstanding cultural contributions in November 2012, and received the Academy Honorary Award for his impact on animation and cinema in November 2014. In 2002, American film critic Roger Ebert suggested that Miyazaki may be the best animation filmmaker in history, praising the depth and artistry of his films. more…
