Mine is Amasawa.

796

00:
55:56,120 -- 00:55:59,795

[Groaning] This is my worst nightmare.

I should have known better.

797

00:
55:59,920 -- 00:56:03,037

- I never get the fairy tale ending.

- What are you babbling about?

798

00:
56:03,120 -- 00:56:05,315

What difference does it make

what my name is?

799

00:
56:05,400 -- 00:56:08,790

It makes a difference! You knew

my name but you never told me yours.

800

00:
56:08,880 -- 00:56:10,871

[Seiji] You could've asked me my name.

801

00:
56:10,960 -- 00:56:13,474

[Shizuku] I never had a chance!

This is so unfair!

802

00:
56:13,600 -- 00:56:16,831

- I was so sure Seiji Amasawa was...

- I was what?

803

00:
56:16,960 -- 00:56:19,110

A nice, intelligent, civilized person.

804

00:
56:19,240 -- 00:56:21,276

Oh, really?

You read too many fairy tales.

805

00:
56:21,400 -- 00:56:23,960

[Shizuku] Clearly you've read

a lot of them yourself.

806

00:
56:24,080 -- 00:56:26,116

[Laughing]

807

00:
56:28,440 -- 00:56:31,352

[Bicycle spokes clicking]

808

00:
56:38,720 -- 00:56:42,110

Your grandpa and his friends

are really nice. I had a great time.

809

00:
56:42,240 -- 00:56:45,516

You'll have to come back.

Grandpa and his friends would like that.

810

00:
56:45,640 -- 00:56:48,757

Next time I'm keeping my mouth shut.

No yelling or singing.

811

00:
56:48,880 -- 00:56:51,030

I could listen

to you play violin for hours.

812

00:
56:51,120 -- 00:56:55,238

- Have you ever thought of performing?

- My violin playing's nothing special.

813

00:
56:55,360 -- 00:56:57,874

My ultimate goal

is to be a world-class violin maker.

814

00:
56:58,000 -- 00:57:00,753

That's great.

You're already so good at it.

815

00:
57:00,880 -- 00:57:02,677

No, if you really want to be good

816

00:
57:02,800 -- 00:57:05,109

you have to be trained

in Cremona, Italy.

817

00:
57:05,240 -- 00:57:08,038

I want to go there

when I graduate from junior high.

818

00:
57:08,120 -- 00:57:09,872

You're not going to high school?

819

00:
57:10,000 -- 00:57:11,479

My parents think I am,

820

00:
57:11,560 -- 00:57:14,358

but my grandpa is trying

to convince them otherwise.

821

00:
57:14,440 -- 00:57:16,954

I guess we'll have to see.

Cross your fingers.

822

00:
57:28,160 -- 00:57:31,232

That's great that you know what

you want to do with your life.

823

00:
57:31,360 -- 00:57:33,715

I don't have a clue

what I want to do with mine.

824

00:
57:33,800 -- 00:57:35,711

I just waste time writing corny lyrics.

825

00:
57:35,840 -- 00:57:39,116

I know what I want to do,

but I don't know if I'll get to do it.

826

00:
57:39,240 -- 00:57:41,470

I fight with my parents

about it everyday.

827

00:
57:41,600 -- 00:57:44,717

Even if I get to go, it doesn't mean

that I'll be any good at it.

828

00:
57:44,800 -- 00:57:46,950

I'll just have

to do my best and find out.

829

00:
57:49,000 -- 00:57:50,831

You sure you don't want a ride home?

830

00:
57:50,920 -- 00:57:52,751

Yeah. It's just around the corner.

831

00:
57:52,840 -- 00:57:54,432

See ya.

832

00:
57:54,560 -- 00:57:56,198

Uh, Shizuku...

833

00:
57:56,320 -- 00:57:58,390

[gasping] Yeah?

834

00:
57:58,480 -- 00:58:01,233

I just wanted to say

that I actually liked your lyrics.

835

00:
58:01,320 -- 00:58:04,949

You're a very talented writer. Keep

pursuing it. It's not a waste of time.

836

00:
58:05,080 -- 00:58:08,197

Just the other day

you told me my lyrics were corny.

837

00:
58:08,280 -- 00:58:10,748

- Oh, did I really say that?

- Seiji!

838

00:
58:10,840 -- 00:58:12,478

I'm sorry.

839

00:
58:13,400 -- 00:58:16,551

Ha! You're forgetful too. See you later.

840

00:
58:30,560 -- 00:58:33,074

[Footsteps approaching]

841

00:
58:35,360 -- 00:58:39,035

Shizuku, turn off your lamp.

You left it on all night last night.

842

00:
58:40,680 -- 00:58:43,433

[Creaking]

843

00:
58:45,600 -- 00:58:48,512

When did you know

what to do with your life?

844

00:
58:48,640 -- 00:58:51,154

- [Shiho] What are you talking about?

- You know!

845

00:
58:51,280 -- 00:58:53,510

Don't worry about it.

You'll take your exams

846

00:
58:53,600 -- 00:58:57,229

and whatever high school you get into

will pretty much decide things.

847

00:
58:57,320 -- 00:59:00,312

- [Shizuku] Don't we get a choice?

- You do if you study hard.

848

00:
59:00,440 -- 00:59:01,953

- [Sighing]

- Now go to sleep.

849

00:
59:02,040 -- 00:59:03,553

Good night.

850

00:
59:13,560 -- 00:59:16,552

- [Rain pattering]

- [Panting]

851

00:
59:16,640 -- 00:59:20,997

I can't believe Mom didn't wake me up.

She's getting more forgetful than I am.

852

00:
59:22,640 -- 00:59:24,596

[Panting]

853

00:
59:29,560 -- 00:59:32,552

- Uh, hello?

- Oh, hello.

854

00:
59:32,640 -- 00:59:34,312

Can't you run any faster?

855

00:
59:34,440 -- 00:59:36,510

You don't have to wait for me.

856

00:
59:39,400 -- 00:59:41,675

[Shizuku panting]

857

00:
59:45,000 -- 00:59:47,070

[Bell chiming]

858

00:
59:47,200 -- 00:59:50,112

[Students talking, giggling]

859

00:
59:52,120 -- 00:59:54,680

[Sighing] Just made it.

860

00:
59:54,800 -- 00:59:56,870

Shizuku, what happened?

861

00:
59:56,960 -- 00:59:58,439

Ah, you look like a wreck.

862

00:
59:58,560 -- 01:00:01,120

Well, you seem fine.

You sure do recover fast.

863

01:
00:01,240 -- 01:00:04,630

Is it true that you were out with a boy

from another class last night?

864

01:
00:04,720 -- 01:00:06,915

- Where did you hear that?

- It's a rumor.

865

01:
00:07,040 -- 01:00:09,793

They say it looked like

the two of you are going steady.

866

01:
00:09,880 -- 01:00:12,713

- It's nothing like that, Yuko.

- I'm not worried about it.

867

01:
00:16,760 -- 01:00:18,318

[Boy] It's what the book says.

868

01:
00:18,400 -- 01:00:20,038

Yuko, about my friend's letter,

869

01:
00:20,120 -- 01:00:22,953

I'll tell my friend you're not

interested. I'm sorry.

870

01:
00:23,080 -- 01:00:25,036

No, I'm the one who should apologize.

871

01:
00:25,120 -- 01:00:26,792

It's OK.

872

01:
00:31,080 -- 01:00:35,153

Hey, did you see Sasuke last night?

I was blown away. It was the best ever!

873

01:
00:38,040 -- 01:00:40,873

[Bell chiming]

874

01:
00:41,520 -- 01:00:44,159

This formula's gonna be

on tomorrow's test, class,

875

01:
00:44,280 -- 01:00:46,840

- so make sure you know it.

- [Groaning]

876

01:
00:46,920 -- 01:00:48,399

[Teacher] Class dismissed.

877

01:
00:49,520 -- 01:00:52,273

- [Laughing]

- You forgot your books.

878

01:
00:53,800 -- 01:00:56,712

[Boy] I'm a little nervous

to ask her out. I mean, should I?

879

01:
00:56,840 -- 01:00:58,592

[Girl] I didn't even get to see it.

880

01:
00:58,680 -- 01:01:00,989

No way! [laughing]

881

01:
01:06,000 -- 01:01:07,956

[Laughing]

882

01:
01:08,080 -- 01:01:10,275

Excuse me, is this Shizuku's classroom?

883

01:
01:11,040 -- 01:01:12,678

Hey, Amasawa, what's up?

884

01:
01:12,760 -- 01:01:15,035

I'm looking for Shizuku. Is she in here?

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…
