19:18,760 -- 01:19:20,637

She said she isn't hungry.

1171

01:
19:39,360 -- 01:19:41,669

- [Girls laughing]

- Can you believe that?

1172

01:
19:41,800 -- 01:19:43,074

She actually said that.

1173

01:
19:44,360 -- 01:19:45,952

Oh, hello, Mrs. Tsukishima.

1174

01:
19:46,080 -- 01:19:48,514

- Sorry to keep you waiting.

- No trouble at all.

1175

01:
19:48,640 -- 01:19:51,154

Do you know if the career

counseling room is open?

1176

01:
19:51,240 -- 01:19:53,196

- Yeah.

- Come this way.

1177

01:
19:59,480 -- 01:20:00,674

[Mom] I'm home.

1178

01:
20:03,320 -- 01:20:04,594

Hi there, Mom.

1179

01:
20:05,400 -- 01:20:07,675

You're home early today.

1180

01:
20:08,800 -- 01:20:10,950

Ohh, I'm exhausted.

1181

01:
20:11,040 -- 01:20:13,554

- Want some coffee?

- Sounds great.

1182

01:
20:16,080 -- 01:20:19,072

So, Mom, there's something

I need to talk to you about.

1183

01:
20:19,160 -- 01:20:22,436

[Mom] Not something bad, I hope.

I already have a headache.

1184

01:
20:25,360 -- 01:20:27,669

I'm thinking of moving

into my own place.

1185

01:
20:27,800 -- 01:20:29,870

[Shiho] I found the greatest apartment.

1186

01:
20:29,960 -- 01:20:32,030

Honey, can you really

afford to move out?

1187

01:
20:32,120 -- 01:20:34,873

I saved some money from my temp job,

1188

01:
20:35,000 -- 01:20:38,515

and I just got a part-time position

in a test-preparation school.

1189

01:
20:38,640 -- 01:20:42,880

I see. I've gotten so used to you

helping me out while I'm in school.

1190

01:
20:42,880 -- 01:20:45,792

But we'll be fine.

I'll talk to your father about it.

1191

01:
20:45,920 -- 01:20:48,115

Really? Thanks, Mom.

1192

01:
20:49,840 -- 01:20:52,479

Financially I think you'll

have to manage on your own

1193

01:
20:52,600 -- 01:20:54,716

until I finish my last

semester of school.

1194

01:
20:54,840 -- 01:20:57,832

- Once I graduate I can help you out.

- That'd be great.

1195

01:
20:57,920 -- 01:21:01,549

I hate to do this now while you're in

the middle of your master's thesis.

1196

01:
21:01,640 -- 01:21:02,755

Don't worry about it.

1197

01:
21:02,880 -- 01:21:06,236

I really appreciate all the help

you gave me preparing the data.

1198

01:
21:06,320 -- 01:21:08,550

It'll be good for Shizuku

to have her own room

1199

01:
21:08,680 -- 01:21:12,229

so she can focus on her studies.

She's been acting so strange lately.

1200

01:
21:12,360 -- 01:21:13,588

You're telling me.

1201

01:
21:13,720 -- 01:21:17,554

I had a conference today with

one of her teachers. Look at this.

1202

01:
21:17,640 -- 01:21:19,596

Huh. What is it?

1203

01:
21:19,720 -- 01:21:21,711

[Gasping] What's happened to her?

1204

01:
21:21,840 -- 01:21:23,717

I've never seen grades this low.

1205

01:
21:24,640 -- 01:21:27,029

It's so strange.

I wonder what she's doing.

1206

01:
21:27,120 -- 01:21:28,838

She's at her desk all day.

1207

01:
21:36,320 -- 01:21:38,754

- Oh, good evening.

- Good evening.

1208

01:
21:41,000 -- 01:21:42,479

Thank you.

1209

01:
21:47,360 -- 01:21:50,830

[Shiho] With grades like that,

no high school will accept you.

1210

01:
21:50,960 -- 01:21:53,872

[Shizuku] Fine. I'm not going

to high school anyway.

1211

01:
21:53,960 -- 01:21:56,952

Are you crazy? You think

a junior high education is enough?

1212

01:
21:57,040 -- 01:21:59,076

What kind of fantasy world

are you living in?

1213

01:
21:59,200 -- 01:22:01,589

Hey, it's my future

so I make the decision.

1214

01:
22:01,720 -- 01:22:05,918

Don't give me that attitude. You know

you're being completely ridiculous.

1215

01:
22:06,040 -- 01:22:08,634

If you keep acting like this

you'll ruin your life.

1216

01:
22:08,760 -- 01:22:10,671

School's really made your life great.

1217

01:
22:10,760 -- 01:22:13,513

All you've done since college

is work part-time jobs.

1218

01:
22:13,600 -- 01:22:15,909

[Shiho] I'm making money

and I can support myself.

1219

01:
22:16,040 -- 01:22:18,270

What job will you get

without a college degree?

1220

01:
22:18,400 -- 01:22:21,995

You'll end up destitute because

you're in some stupid rebellious phase.

1221

01:
22:22,080 -- 01:22:25,117

[Shizuku] I'm not being rebellious.

I'm going after my dreams.

1222

01:
22:25,240 -- 01:22:27,993

What dreams? You just

goof around reading books.

1223

01:
22:28,120 -- 01:22:31,317

Stop the arguing, girls.

I've heard enough.

1224

01:
22:31,400 -- 01:22:34,278

But Dad, she's gonna ruin her life

if she keeps this up.

1225

01:
22:34,360 -- 01:22:37,670

Hmm. All right. Let's go

to the kitchen and discuss this.

1226

01:
22:37,760 -- 01:22:40,672

Shizuku, change out

of your uniform first, please.

1227

01:
22:42,760 -- 01:22:44,352

Hurry it up.

1228

01:
22:57,200 -- 01:22:58,713

A bit low.

1229

01:
22:58,840 -- 01:23:01,195

Shizuku, are you doing

the best you can?

1230

01:
23:01,280 -- 01:23:03,236

Yes! I take these tests very seriously.

1231

01:
23:03,360 -- 01:23:06,352

Just a little bit ago you said

you weren't going to high school.

1232

01:
23:06,440 -- 01:23:09,159

You were the one who said

no high school would accept me.

1233

01:
23:09,280 -- 01:23:11,271

Shiho, I'd like to talk

to Shizuku alone.

1234

01:
23:11,400 -- 01:23:13,436

Would you please

excuse yourself, honey?

1235

01:
23:13,560 -- 01:23:14,913

Fine.

1236

01:
23:16,960 -- 01:23:19,599

- Where's your mother?

- She's at the Tanakas.

1237

01:
23:19,720 -- 01:23:22,712

- [Mom] I'm home.

- [Shiho] There she is. Hey, Mom.

1238

01:
23:22,840 -- 01:23:25,798

- [Mom] Is your father home?

- [Shiho] He's in the kitchen.

1239

01:
23:25,920 -- 01:23:28,798

[Dad] Could you come in here?

I'm having a talk with Shizuku.

1240

01:
23:28,920 -- 01:23:30,638

[Mom] Sure. Just a second.

1241

01:
23:32,640 -- 01:23:34,153

[Door closing]

1242

01:
23:36,040 -- 01:23:38,793

[Dad] All right, Shizuku.

1243

01:
23:38,880 -- 01:23:41,030

You have something that you're doing

1244

01:
23:41,160 -- 01:23:43,720

that you think is more important

than studying?

1245

01:
23:45,760 -- 01:23:47,955

Will you tell us what it is?

1246

01:
23:48,920 -- 01:23:50,911

When I can tell you, I will.

1247

01:
23:51,040 -- 01:23:55,033

Shizuku, can't you do whatever it is

once your exams are over?

1248

01:
23:55,160 -- 01:23:58,755

I have to do it now. I've only

got three weeks left before he...

1249

01:
23:58,880 -- 01:24:02,759

It's that I promised myself

I'd achieve this certain goal

1250

01:
24:02,840 -- 01:24:05,434

- or I'm not good enough.

- Good enough for what?

1251

01:
24:05,520 -- 01:24:07,795

Why do you need to prove yourself?

1252

01:
24:08,920 -- 01:24:11,832

[Mom] We can't help you

unless you tell us what's going on.

1253

01:
24:11,920 -- 01:24:16,675

What could you be doing that you

can't tell your mother and father about?

1254

01:
24:16,800 -- 01:24:20,509

- Honey, please.

- Oh, sorry. I'll put it out.

1255

01:
24:22,640 -- 01:24:24,437

[Exhaling]

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…
