Or is there someone else you love?

597

00:
40:58,200 -- 00:41:01,158

I'm not in love with anybody,

598

00:
41:01,280 -- 00:41:04,158

but Yuko, she'll... I gotta go!

599

00:
41:04,240 -- 00:41:06,196

Wait a minute! Forget Yuko!

600

00:
41:06,320 -- 00:41:07,355

Do you like me?

601

00:
41:07,480 -- 00:41:09,914

Of course I like you.

We've been friends for years.

602

00:
41:10,000 -- 00:41:13,993

But Yuko and I are best friends,

so that's the way it's gonna stay, OK?

603

00:
41:15,760 -- 00:41:18,797

You understand? Or do I have

to spell it out some more?

604

00:
41:24,360 -- 00:41:26,430

No. I understand.

605

00:
41:26,560 -- 00:41:29,233

We'll just be friends.

606

00:
41:35,760 -- 00:41:38,911

[Sugimura] I'm sorry.

I'll never mention it again.

607

00:
41:40,040 -- 00:41:42,349

[Bird singing]

608

00:
41:56,040 -- 00:41:58,679

[Barking]

609

00:
42:14,800 -- 00:42:16,153

[Bag hits floor]

610

00:
42:18,280 -- 00:42:19,474

[Sighing]

611

00:
42:22,200 -- 00:42:24,668

[Crying] You idiot!

612

00:
42:24,800 -- 00:42:27,234

You're the one who's dense.

613

00:
42:33,320 -- 00:42:35,276

[Door opening]

614

00:
42:35,400 -- 00:42:38,233

[Woman] Oh, Mrs. Tsukishima,

I've got a package for you.

615

00:
42:38,360 -- 00:42:39,713

The mailman left it with me.

616

00:
42:39,840 -- 00:42:42,070

[Mom] Oh, thanks. Sorry to trouble you.

617

00:
42:44,160 -- 00:42:45,070

[Door closing]

618

00:
42:54,400 -- 00:42:56,072

[Woman] Thanks so much for these.

619

00:
42:56,200 -- 00:42:58,760

No problem. There's way

too much for us to eat.

620

00:
43:00,040 -- 00:43:01,473

Oh, you're home.

621

00:
43:01,560 -- 00:43:03,039

Shizuku.

622

00:
44:20,840 -- 00:44:22,717

Hi, cat.

623

00:
44:24,320 -- 00:44:26,550

Did you get locked out of your house?

624

00:
44:29,000 -- 00:44:31,514

So, what happened?

Did everyone forget about you?

625

00:
44:31,640 -- 00:44:33,358

Would you like some company?

626

00:
44:35,880 -- 00:44:38,235

You're not very nice, are you, cat?

627

00:
44:38,360 -- 00:44:39,509

Neither am I.

628

00:
44:41,560 -- 00:44:44,154

I used to be nice and friendly

and a grade-A student.

629

00:
44:44,240 -- 00:44:47,596

Now I just goof around reading books

and writing stupid lyrics.

630

00:
44:47,680 -- 00:44:48,954

I don't know what's wrong.

631

00:
44:49,080 -- 00:44:51,833

Even reading books isn't

as much fun as it used to be.

632

00:
44:51,920 -- 00:44:54,070

Now when I read a little voice

inside me says,

633

00:
44:54,200 -- 00:44:56,839

"Things never turn out

like they do in fairy tales."

634

00:
44:56,920 -- 00:44:58,239

I miss the old me.

635

00:
45:00,560 -- 00:45:02,630

[Panting]

636

00:
45:19,440 -- 00:45:21,396

[Footsteps]

637

00:
45:22,520 -- 00:45:24,317

Shizuku Tsukishima.

638

00:
45:24,440 -- 00:45:25,634

Hi.

639

00:
45:25,760 -- 00:45:28,115

I'm surprised Moon lets you pet him.

640

00:
45:28,200 -- 00:45:30,316

You don't like anyone, do you, Moon?

641

00:
45:30,440 -- 00:45:31,793

So Moon is his name?

642

00:
45:31,920 -- 00:45:35,674

He looks like a full moon, doesn't he?

Especially from that angle.

643

00:
45:35,760 -- 00:45:38,149

But I've heard him called

a few other names too.

644

00:
45:38,240 -- 00:45:39,753

[Barking]

645

00:
45:40,800 -- 00:45:42,950

What do you mean?

Doesn't he belong to you?

646

00:
45:43,040 -- 00:45:44,871

Nope. He doesn't belong to anybody.

647

00:
45:44,960 -- 00:45:48,555

He just wanders around our neighborhood

and lives in different houses.

648

00:
45:48,640 -- 00:45:50,631

I've heard our neighbors call him Muta.

649

00:
45:50,760 -- 00:45:53,638

Hmm. So he's a vagabond.

650

00:
45:53,720 -- 00:45:57,599

That's right! I saw him riding around

on the train the other day.

651

00:
45:57,680 -- 00:45:59,557

- The train?

- Yeah.

652

00:
45:59,680 -- 00:46:01,318

He was taking a trip all by himself,

653

00:
46:01,400 -- 00:46:03,436

he got off at my stop

and I followed him here.

654

00:
46:03,560 -- 00:46:06,199

I was so excited

when he led me to this store.

655

00:
46:06,320 -- 00:46:09,118

It was like something

straight out of a fairy tale.

656

00:
46:10,800 -- 00:46:13,792

I guess I shouldn't have said

those bad things about him.

657

00:
46:13,920 -- 00:46:15,433

I said he was mean like me.

658

00:
46:15,560 -- 00:46:19,439

What? Moon's not like you.

He's not like you at all.

659

00:
46:19,520 -- 00:46:22,717

I... I mean, the cat's

really kind of crazy.

660

00:
46:24,000 -- 00:46:25,956

[Sighing]

661

00:
46:29,720 -- 00:46:31,233

- So, I...

- Is your?

662

00:
46:33,280 -- 00:46:34,599

Is your grandfather OK?

663

00:
46:34,720 -- 00:46:37,553

His shop has been closed

for so long. I hope he's not sick.

664

00:
46:37,640 -- 00:46:40,234

Yeah, he's fine.

He just likes to keep weird hours.

665

00:
46:40,360 -- 00:46:42,715

His store is closed

more often than it's open.

666

00:
46:42,840 -- 00:46:46,435

I peeked in the window and saw the Baron

is not sitting on the table anymore.

667

00:
46:46,520 -- 00:46:49,239

- Did somebody buy him?

- You mean that cat statue?

668

00:
46:49,360 -- 00:46:50,634

Wanna see him? Come on.

669

00:
46:58,200 -- 00:47:00,077

[Door creaking]

670

00:
47:00,880 -- 00:47:02,438

Can you close the door?

671

00:
47:10,080 -- 00:47:11,638

[Gasping]

672

00:
47:17,640 -- 00:47:18,993

This way.

673

00:
47:21,240 -- 00:47:23,879

Wow. It's almost like we're in the sky.

674

00:
47:30,000 -- 00:47:32,833

You're not afraid of heights,

are you, Shizuku?

675

00:
47:33,440 -- 00:47:35,795

No. I love it up here. It's inspiring.

676

00:
47:42,040 -- 00:47:45,635

From the balcony this time of day

is the prettiest. Come on.

677

00:
48:08,160 -- 00:48:09,388

Here we are.

678

00:
48:09,520 -- 00:48:12,557

- You can sit if you like.

- Hey, the clock is gone.

679

00:
48:12,680 -- 00:48:16,878

Oh, the big grandfather clock.

We delivered it today.

680

00:
48:17,000 -- 00:48:18,399

Here, have a look.

681

00:
48:18,520 -- 00:48:19,839

So who bought the clock?

682

00:
48:19,960 -- 00:48:22,428

No one. It was just here

for a repair job.

683

00:
48:22,560 -- 00:48:25,120

I see. Too bad. It was beautiful.

684

00:
48:25,240 -- 00:48:27,231

It took Grandpa three years to fix it.

685

00:
48:27,320 -- 00:48:29,709

He finished it the day

you left your lunch here.

686

00:
48:29,800 -- 00:48:31,028

Hey, about that lunch...

687

00:
48:31,160 -- 00:48:33,720

I know it wasn't yours

and you don't eat like a pig.

688

00:
48:33,840 -- 00:48:36,513

Come over here and have a look

into the Baron's eyes.

689

00:
48:38,280 -- 00:48:40,157

Hurry up. The sun's starting to set.

690

00:
48:45,520 -- 00:48:46,748

Wow.

691

00:
48:51,840 -- 00:48:54,593

Pretty cool, huh?

It's actually an accident.

692

00:
48:54,720 -- 00:48:57,632

Sometimes the eyes get flawed

when they're installed,

693

00:
48:57,720 -- 00:49:00,712

- then they refract the light like that.

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…
