- That's amazing.

694

00:
49:00,840 -- 00:49:04,037

Grandpa will never sell the Baron.

He wants to find its partner.

695

00:
49:04,120 -- 00:49:05,872

There's another one?

696

00:
49:06,000 -- 00:49:10,039

Yeah. He says that her name

is Louise, but that's about it.

697

00:
49:10,160 -- 00:49:13,470

Look as long as you like.

I'm going downstairs.

698

00:
49:16,760 -- 00:49:19,069

The light switch is over there

if you need it.

699

00:
49:31,520 -- 00:49:34,318

So, Baron, let's hear about this Louise.

700

00:
49:34,400 -- 00:49:36,630

Is she an old girlfriend

of yours or something?

701

00:
49:36,760 -- 00:49:39,194

You look like you're

all dressed up for a wedding.

702

00:
49:39,280 -- 00:49:42,397

Did she leave you at the altar?

Did someone kidnap her?

703

00:
49:42,480 -- 00:49:46,268

There's a sad story there.

I'll have to figure it out for myself.

704

00:
50:15,080 -- 00:50:17,389

[Scraping]

705

00:
50:46,000 -- 00:50:47,718

Hey. Had enough?

706

00:
50:47,840 -- 00:50:49,432

Mm-hmm. Thank you.

707

00:
50:49,560 -- 00:50:52,597

So, is that a real violin you're making?

708

00:
50:52,720 -- 00:50:54,676

Oh. Yeah.

709

00:
50:56,040 -- 00:50:58,076

- Can I see?

- Sure.

710

00:
51:01,480 -- 00:51:03,038

It's nearly finished.

711

00:
51:03,160 -- 00:51:04,275

Wow!

712

00:
51:04,360 -- 00:51:07,113

You carved the entire thing

yourself, by hand?

713

00:
51:07,200 -- 00:51:10,192

- How else would you do it?

- That is amazing.

714

00:
51:10,320 -- 00:51:13,596

They've been making violins

the exact same way for 300 years,

715

00:
51:13,720 -- 00:51:15,551

but whether or not

they sound any good

716

00:
51:15,640 -- 00:51:18,154

is totally dependent

on the craftsman's skill.

717

00:
51:18,240 -- 00:51:20,196

Did you make all those violins?

718

00:
51:20,280 -- 00:51:21,713

[Seiji] No, of course not.

719

00:
51:21,840 -- 00:51:23,990

We hold violin-making classes here.

720

00:
51:24,120 -- 00:51:26,270

But one of them's yours, isn't it?

721

00:
51:26,360 -- 00:51:29,193

- Yeah.

- So which one is it?

722

00:
51:29,320 -- 00:51:31,959

- The end.

- Wow.

723

00:
51:32,080 -- 00:51:33,479

That's really fantastic.

724

00:
51:33,600 -- 00:51:36,114

I can't believe you can

make something like this.

725

00:
51:36,200 -- 00:51:37,633

It's like magic, isn't it?

726

00:
51:37,720 -- 00:51:39,278

You're so weird.

727

00:
51:39,400 -- 00:51:42,517

I can't believe some of the stuff

that comes out of your mouth.

728

00:
51:42,600 -- 00:51:45,478

It is magic. You made a violin

pop out of a piece of wood.

729

00:
51:45,560 -- 00:51:47,835

Anyone can make a violin

of that caliber.

730

00:
51:49,240 -- 00:51:51,276

I'm not close to being good enough.

731

00:
51:57,400 -- 00:51:59,550

So, can you play the violin?

732

00:
51:59,640 -- 00:52:00,675

Sort of.

733

00:
52:00,800 -- 00:52:03,439

Would you play something for me,

just a little bit?

734

00:
52:03,560 -- 00:52:04,515

Give me a break.

735

00:
52:04,640 -- 00:52:06,915

Come on, come on. Won't you, please?

736

00:
52:07,040 -- 00:52:09,395

All right, but you're

gonna have to sing along.

737

00:
52:09,520 -- 00:52:10,999

What?

738

00:
52:11,120 -- 00:52:13,509

You don't want me to sing. I'm terrible.

739

00:
52:13,640 -- 00:52:15,710

I've got just the song for you.

740

00:
52:30,400 -- 00:52:33,073

Are you ready?

I'm pretty sure you know this one.

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…
