01:
32:39,600 -- 01:32:43,149

It took four batches of noodles

to calm him down. [chuckling]

1352

01:
32:45,960 -- 01:32:48,030

Ah. Thank you, dear.

1353

01:
32:49,320 -- 01:32:52,232

Now tell me, how far did we get

into the Baron's story?

1354

01:
32:52,320 -- 01:32:55,710

You were a student in Germany

when you found the Baron in a caf.

1355

01:
32:55,840 -- 01:32:57,512

Ah, that's right.

1356

01:
32:58,880 -- 01:33:03,078

I was captivated by his expression.

It was so sad and mysterious.

1357

01:
33:03,200 -- 01:33:06,397

So I begged the owner of the caf

to let me buy the Baron.

1358

01:
33:06,520 -- 01:33:09,671

[Nishi] But he refused to sell it to me.

1359

01:
33:09,800 -- 01:33:14,032

He said the Baron had a female companion

who was away for repairs.

1360

01:
33:14,160 -- 01:33:16,230

The two of them made

such a beautiful couple

1361

01:
33:16,360 -- 01:33:18,555

he didn't think it was right

to separate them.

1362

01:
33:18,680 -- 01:33:23,310

I told him that as soon as the Baroness

was repaired, I'd buy them both.

1363

01:
33:23,400 -- 01:33:26,790

The Baroness, her name

was Louise, isn't that right?

1364

01:
33:26,880 -- 01:33:29,872

No one knows this,

but Louise was the name

1365

01:
33:30,000 -- 01:33:32,389

of a woman I went to school with.

1366

01:
33:32,480 -- 01:33:34,391

She and I became very close,

1367

01:
33:34,520 -- 01:33:38,308

and every day we'd meet at the caf

to see if the Baroness had returned.

1368

01:
33:39,120 -- 01:33:42,430

Louise pleaded with the caf owner

to sell me the Baron.

1369

01:
33:42,560 -- 01:33:45,279

She promised to buy the Baroness

and hold onto her

1370

01:
33:45,360 -- 01:33:47,874

until the two statues could be reunited.

1371

01:
33:48,000 -- 01:33:50,560

Finally the caf owner agreed,

1372

01:
33:50,680 -- 01:33:52,910

and I left for Japan with the Baron.

1373

01:
33:53,040 -- 01:33:57,238

I promised Louise that I would return

to Germany as soon as possible,

1374

01:
33:57,320 -- 01:34:01,472

and I vowed that when the Baron

and Baroness were reunited,

1375

01:
34:01,600 -- 01:34:03,113

so would we be.

1376

01:
34:06,040 -- 01:34:08,634

But the war began

soon after my departure

1377

01:
34:08,720 -- 01:34:12,679

and I wasn't able to return to Germany

until many years later.

1378

01:
34:14,840 -- 01:34:17,593

I visited our caf and I searched

all over Germany

1379

01:
34:17,680 -- 01:34:19,557

but I could find no trace of her.

1380

01:
34:21,320 -- 01:34:24,835

I never saw Louise

or the Baroness again.

1381

01:
34:26,520 -- 01:34:30,069

I'm sorry. So that's why you never

want to talk about the Baron.

1382

01:
34:30,160 -- 01:34:33,152

But you've done something

wonderful for me, Shizuku.

1383

01:
34:33,240 -- 01:34:37,233

What was only a memory for me has

gained new life thanks to your story.

1384

01:
34:37,360 -- 01:34:39,191

Oh, that reminds me.

1385

01:
34:46,640 -- 01:34:48,870

Now hold out your hands.

1386

01:
34:54,640 -- 01:34:55,755

But I...

1387

01:
34:55,840 -- 01:34:58,559

That geode suits you better than me.

1388

01:
34:58,680 -- 01:35:00,079

I want you to have it.

1389

01:
35:01,280 -- 01:35:04,272

Promise me you'll polish

your story well.

1390

01:
35:04,360 -- 01:35:07,158

I will. [sniffling]

1391

01:
35:19,920 -- 01:35:21,638

Thanks for everything, Mr. Nishi.

1392

01:
35:21,760 -- 01:35:23,193

My pleasure.

1393

01:
35:25,800 -- 01:35:27,392

See you later.

1394

01:
35:35,360 -- 01:35:37,237

[Door opening]

1395

01:
35:37,320 -- 01:35:39,595

- [Shizuku] Anyone home?

- I'm in here.

1396

01:
35:42,240 -- 01:35:43,912

Is Dad around?

1397

01:
35:44,040 -- 01:35:45,268

He's in the bathtub.

1398

01:
35:45,400 -- 01:35:47,470

Do you know what time it is,

young lady?

1399

01:
35:47,560 -- 01:35:49,437

I'd like to make a formal announcement.

1400

01:
35:49,520 -- 01:35:51,750

I've decided that I want

to attend high school.

1401

01:
35:51,880 -- 01:35:53,950

- I'll start studying tomorrow.

- Really?

1402

01:
35:54,080 -- 01:35:56,719

Does that mean you've already

finished your project?

1403

01:
35:56,800 -- 01:35:58,358

For the time being.

1404

01:
35:59,600 -- 01:36:01,909

Do you want dinner? I made curry.

1405

01:
36:02,000 -- 01:36:03,877

[Shizuku] No, thanks.

1406

01:
36:04,000 -- 01:36:06,434

[Sighing] For the time being, huh?

1407

01:
36:06,560 -- 01:36:08,437

[Chuckling]

1408

01:
36:13,280 -- 01:36:15,589

[Sighing]

1409

01:
36:15,680 -- 01:36:18,319

[Dad] Shizuku, the bathroom's free

if you want it.

1410

01:
36:24,280 -- 01:36:27,829

[Deep breathing]

1411

01:
36:37,040 -- 01:36:39,554

Look at her, my little warrior.

1412

01:
36:42,000 -- 01:36:43,513

Let's see.

1413

01:
36:49,880 -- 01:36:51,518

[Dad] Sweet dreams.

1414

01:
36:52,320 -- 01:36:53,878

[Closing door]

1415

01:
37:07,280 -- 01:37:08,872

Huh?

1416

01:
37:28,480 -- 01:37:30,038

[Sighing]

1417

01:
37:30,760 -- 01:37:32,159

[Shuddering]

1418

01:
37:43,720 -- 01:37:44,948

Seiji?

1419

01:
37:52,120 -- 01:37:53,997

Yeah. Just a second.

1420

01:
37:54,840 -- 01:37:57,400

[Rattling]

1421

01:
38:08,160 -- 01:38:10,549

I can't believe this.

You were actually awake.

1422

01:
38:10,680 -- 01:38:12,079

This isn't a dream, is it?

1423

01:
38:12,200 -- 01:38:15,510

No. I came back from Italy

a day early. Get on.

1424

01:
38:15,600 -- 01:38:17,352

Oh, wait a minute.

1425

01:
38:17,440 -- 01:38:19,158

You'll be cold like that.

1426

01:
38:21,480 -- 01:38:23,391

OK, hop on.

1427

01:
38:23,520 -- 01:38:27,308

- You'll be cold. I'll get a jacket.

- There's not enough time. Let's go.

1428

01:
38:29,240 -- 01:38:31,117

All right, hold on tight now.

1429

01:
38:36,360 -- 01:38:38,635

[Seiji] I wanted to see you

as soon as I got home,

1430

01:
38:38,720 -- 01:38:42,030

so I stood outside your window

hoping you'd look outside and see me.

1431

01:
38:42,160 -- 01:38:45,197

Suddenly you were standing there.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

1432

01:
38:45,320 -- 01:38:47,356

We must be meant

for each other, Shizuku.

1433

01:
38:47,440 -- 01:38:49,396

I still can't believe I'm not dreaming.

1434

01:
38:49,480 -- 01:38:51,630

Who cares? This is a great dream.

1435

01:
38:51,760 -- 01:38:53,239

[Horn beeping]

1436

01:
38:56,560 -- 01:38:58,312

How did things go in Italy?

1437

01:
38:58,400 -- 01:39:01,039

[Seiji] My master said

I'm not great yet, but I could be.

1438

01:
39:01,160 -- 01:39:03,151

I've decided to finish

high school first,

1439

01:
39:03,280 -- 01:39:04,679

then I'll go back to Cremona.

1440

01:
39:13,040 -- 01:39:15,270

- Should I get off?

- No. Stay on.

1441

01:
39:15,360 -- 01:39:19,512

I decided I was going

to ride up this steep hill

1442

01:
39:19,640 -- 01:39:21,392

carrying you with me. [panting]

1443

01:
39:21,520 -- 01:39:23,033

Who said you could decide that?

1444

01:
39:23,160 -- 01:39:25,151

[Panting]

1445

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…
