1074

01:
11:40,160 -- 01:11:44,836

You have to dig down deep and find

the emeralds tucked away inside you.

1075

01:
11:45,880 -- 01:11:47,438

And that's just the beginning.

1076

01:
11:47,560 -- 01:11:50,279

Once you've found your gems

you have to polish them.

1077

01:
11:50,360 -- 01:11:52,510

It takes a lot of hard work.

1078

01:
11:52,640 -- 01:11:56,599

Oh, and here's the tricky part:

Look at the crack in the geode.

1079

01:
11:56,680 -- 01:11:57,795

OK.

1080

01:
11:57,920 -- 01:12:00,115

You see that big green crystal there?

1081

01:
12:00,240 -- 01:12:02,356

You could spend years polishing that

1082

01:
12:02,480 -- 01:12:04,869

and it wouldn't be worth much at all.

1083

01:
12:04,960 -- 01:12:07,349

The smaller crystals

are much more valuable,

1084

01:
12:07,480 -- 01:12:10,233

and there may be some even

deeper inside that we can't see

1085

01:
12:10,360 -- 01:12:11,952

which are even more precious.

1086

01:
12:12,080 -- 01:12:15,390

[Chuckling] Oh, it's bad to get old.

You just keep rambling.

1087

01:
12:15,520 -- 01:12:16,919

I'll shut up now.

1088

01:
12:18,280 -- 01:12:20,953

What if I look inside myself

and I don't find any gems?

1089

01:
12:21,080 -- 01:12:22,718

What if I'm just a rock?

1090

01:
12:22,800 -- 01:12:24,233

I'm going to try anyway.

1091

01:
12:24,360 -- 01:12:27,432

I'll write that story and I'll

let you be the first to read it.

1092

01:
12:27,560 -- 01:12:30,120

That's the spirit.

I'll be looking forward to it.

1093

01:
12:37,600 -- 01:12:41,832

A raw gem in a vein of lapis lazuli.

1094

01:
12:45,400 -- 01:12:47,595

Ah, let us go forth together,

1095

01:
12:47,720 -- 01:12:50,757

in search of the vein of lapis lazuli.

1096

01:
12:52,520 -- 01:12:54,078

Look. Be not fearful.

1097

01:
12:54,200 -- 01:12:57,431

On the day of the new moon

space is warped.

1098

01:
12:59,880 -- 01:13:03,190

[Baron] As such,

things far away loom large

1099

01:
13:03,320 -- 01:13:06,278

whereas things near at hand

appear small.

1100

01:
13:06,360 -- 01:13:08,032

Come, let us fly.

1101

01:
13:08,120 -- 01:13:10,475

We will rise on the updraft!

1102

01:
13:14,840 -- 01:13:16,398

But we must hurry!

1103

01:
13:16,520 -- 01:13:18,750

Quick! The planetoids are gathering.

1104

01:
13:20,440 -- 01:13:21,668

Shall we?

1105

01:
13:21,760 -- 01:13:24,035

And... off we go!

1106

01:
13:24,160 -- 01:13:26,879

[Shizuku screaming]

1107

01:
13:30,240 -- 01:13:33,000

That's it!

We're riding the air currents.

1108

01:
13:33,000 -- 01:13:35,878

See that tower?

We'll clear it in a single leap.

1109

01:
13:36,000 -- 01:13:38,150

[Shizuku] Are you kidding?

That's so high.

1110

01:
13:38,280 -- 01:13:40,350

[Baron] Ah, it just looks high.

1111

01:
13:40,480 -- 01:13:43,278

You'll see once we get closer.

1112

01:
13:58,800 -- 01:14:01,678

Let's go. When the

afternoon air currents mix,

1113

01:
14:01,760 -- 01:14:03,716

we can even touch

the stars without fear.

1114

01:
14:05,400 -- 01:14:06,435

That's strange.

1115

01:
14:10,080 -- 01:14:12,230

Shizuku's in nonfiction?

1116

01:
14:12,320 -- 01:14:15,278

I've never seen her look

at anything but fairy tales.

1117

01:
14:52,320 -- 01:14:56,108

It's a prisoner locked in a cell

and he's making a violin.

1118

01:
15:21,600 -- 01:15:23,477

[Gasping]

1119

01:
15:27,240 -- 01:15:29,310

Seiji! [gasping]

1120

01:
15:29,440 -- 01:15:31,431

I thought you had left for Italy.

1121

01:
15:31,560 -- 01:15:34,760

I just talked to my grandpa.

He said you might be here.

1122

01:
15:34,760 -- 01:15:38,275

I'm glad I found you.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

1123

01:
15:38,400 -- 01:15:40,277

You are?

1124

01:
15:41,680 -- 01:15:44,353

Go on. You should keep working.

1125

01:
15:44,480 -- 01:15:46,232

I'll wait until you're done.

1126

01:
16:11,120 -- 01:16:12,997

Sorry I can't see you home.

1127

01:
16:13,880 -- 01:16:16,348

I'm just glad I was able

to see you again.

1128

01:
16:16,480 -- 01:16:18,311

I can't go to the airport with you

1129

01:
16:18,400 -- 01:16:20,709

but I'll be waiting for you

when you come back.

1130

01:
16:20,840 -- 01:16:22,478

I'll see you in two months then.

1131

01:
16:28,720 -- 01:16:32,190

I'm sorry for complaining

all the time, Seiji.

1132

01:
16:32,280 -- 01:16:34,748

I promise I'll work hard

while you're gone.

1133

01:
16:41,200 -- 01:16:43,111

Well, I better go.

1134

01:
16:46,040 -- 01:16:47,439

Have a safe trip.

1135

01:
17:04,920 -- 01:17:07,639

Louise, my betrothed and I,

1136

01:
17:07,720 -- 01:17:10,598

were born in a far-off land.

1137

01:
17:14,720 -- 01:17:18,599

i[Baron] Back then,/i

imagic was still alive in our town,/i

1138

01:
17:18,720 -- 01:17:21,075

iand the streets/i

iwere lined with shops/i

1139

01:
17:21,200 -- 01:17:24,988

iwhere the descendents of magicians/i

iworked as artisans./i

1140

01:
17:28,600 -- 01:17:33,230

iThe craftsman who made us/i

iwas a poor apprentice dollmaker./i

1141

01:
17:36,440 -- 01:17:39,159

iBut Louise and I were happy,/i

1142

01:
17:39,240 -- 01:17:41,117

ifor the man who made us/i

1143

01:
17:41,200 -- 01:17:43,953

igave us the ability to love./i

1144

01:
17:44,400 -- 01:17:47,392

iThen one day.../i

1145

01:
17:52,680 -- 01:17:54,398

[Yuko] Shizuku.

1146

01:
17:54,520 -- 01:17:56,112

Shizuku!

1147

01:
17:56,960 -- 01:17:58,518

- Shizuku!

- [Gasping]

1148

01:
17:59,640 -- 01:18:02,234

The answer, Shizuku?

1149

01:
18:02,360 -- 01:18:04,237

Stand up.

1150

01:
18:04,320 -- 01:18:06,834

I don't know, sir.

I wasn't paying attention.

1151

01:
18:06,960 -- 01:18:09,713

[Teacher] You haven't

been paying attention all week.

1152

01:
18:09,840 -- 01:18:12,434

- I'm sorry, sir.

- Yuko, will you help out Shizuku?

1153

01:
18:12,560 -- 01:18:14,630

Yes, sir.

1154

01:
18:14,720 -- 01:18:17,757

What? You were up

until four in the morning?

1155

01:
18:17,880 -- 01:18:20,440

I just can't seem to stop writing

for some reason.

1156

01:
18:21,440 -- 01:18:25,194

You keep spacing out

all the time, like today.

1157

01:
18:25,280 -- 01:18:27,080

I was thinking about my story.

1158

01:
18:27,080 -- 01:18:29,992

There's so much I want to write.

I can't find enough time.

1159

01:
18:30,120 -- 01:18:33,396

[Sighing] I don't feel like eating.

1160

01:
18:34,960 -- 01:18:36,871

[Squeaking]

1161

01:
18:42,680 -- 01:18:44,830

[Shuffling foot]

1162

01:
18:54,680 -- 01:18:56,079

[Shuffling foot]

1163

01:
18:56,160 -- 01:18:58,833

- [Door opening]

- [Footsteps]

1164

01:
19:01,000 -- 01:19:03,468

[Mom] Oh! Shizuku, it's you.

1165

01:
19:03,600 -- 01:19:05,272

You scared me half to death.

1166

01:
19:05,400 -- 01:19:07,152

Why didn't you have the lights on?

1167

01:
19:07,240 -- 01:19:09,470

Oh, Shizuku,

you didn't finish the laundry.

1168

01:
19:09,600 -- 01:19:12,034

Get in here, Shizuku! Shizuku!

1169

01:
19:15,160 -- 01:19:18,630

[Slurping] Where's Shizuku?

Doesn't she want dinner?

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…
