obsessed humanity with war and conquest. 53 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,840 what a fight against savage consumerism... 54 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,840 and is at the mercy of a raging nature. 55

00:05:10,560 Hayao Miyazaki has that gift. 82 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,440 He tells us, "you can't give up, you cannot abandon." 83 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,840 We must not forget that nature 84 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,360 also takes care to keep alive 85 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,360 to human beings. 86 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,080 "In the building that houses 87 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,200 Studio Ghibli on the outskirts of Tokyo, 88 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,720 Miyazaki draws tirelessly on his narrow desk, 89 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,400 at the rate of a few seconds of animation up to date. 90 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,880 Draws from your own memories, the raw material that guides his hand, 91 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,200 searching in your dreams and fantasies, 92

00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,840 Hayao Miyazaki was born in Japan in 1941. 96 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:26,880 His first memories 97 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,640 They will always be accompanied of incessant bombings." 98 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,000 July 12, 1945. 99 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,840 When I was four years old, 100 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,760 I experienced a night bombing in Utsunomiya. 101 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,320 The sky was clear as if it were day. 102 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,040 Was it our house that burned? 103 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,760 At the end of the war, 104 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,240 all major cities from Japan, 105 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,320 except for Kyoto, 106 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,000 they had been bombed and razed. 107 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,320 He was four years old 108 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,760 when they took place the bombings, 109 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,320 and although his family had moved 110 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,960 on the outskirts of Tokyo, 111 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,320 they were not free from suffering 112 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,520 the bombing to the city of Utsunomiya, 113 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,160 narrowly escaping the fire. 114 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,320 He himself remembers seeing his street engulfed in flames. 115 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,280 "A few weeks after the bombing 116 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,800 from the Miyazaki family home in Utsunomiya, 117 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,720 The United States dropped two bombs atomic bombs over Japan, 118 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,840 killing almost 250,000 people and revealing the new 119 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,120 and terrifying ability of humanity 120 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,320 to provoke total annihilation. 121 00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:51,840 Miyazaki grew up in a devastated country. 122 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,720 This made it grow on him 123 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,040 a great hatred towards the Japanese army, 124 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,840 responsible for the situation, 125 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,240 but also an absolute fascination 126 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,840 by war machines, including the Zero, 127 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,040 a military plane linked closely 128 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,560 to the history of his family. 129 00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:12,640 His father and uncle were factory owners 130 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,000 that manufactured parts for the fighter Mitsubishi Zero. 131 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,560 They were just machines, 132 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:23,000 but tailored that Japan lost the war, 133 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,000 they became in a kind of coffins, 134 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,400 since they were piloted by kamikazes. 135 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,160 On the one hand, Miyazaki has a great feeling of guilt 136 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,400 because his family 137 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,360 had become rich with a war machine, 138 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,000 but also appreciates beauty 139 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:54,200 and the brilliance of the Mitsubishi Zero. 140 00:09:54,600 --> 00:10:00,160 Always willing to see others sides of things. 141 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,240 For him nothing is black or white, It is something more complex. 142 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,880 Miyazaki's adolescence 143 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,920 was also marked for another trauma: 144 00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:16,800 his mother's illness. 145 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,720 Developed an infection provoked spinal cord 146 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,400 by the tuberculosis bacillus. 147 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,200 Miyazaki lived with his brother and his father for 9 years, 148 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:27,880 fearing that his mother, 149 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,440 bedridden and hospitalized regularly, 150 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,640 succumb to that terrible disease. 151 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,080 Can you tell us briefly 152 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,920 How did your childhood influence you? in your work? 153 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,320 You see, I wasn't very good at it... 154 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,280 express myself as a child. 155 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,040 I regret many things from my childhood. 156 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,680 He didn't talk much with others. 157 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,360 And I didn't have either a great initiative. 158 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,520 Maybe everything was provoked because of my personality. 159 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,440 The thing is that I was not able 160 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,440 to enjoy from my childhood to the fullest. 161 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,440 Or at least... that's what I think. 162 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,320 When I reached adolescence I knew 163 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,560 that I should not be satisfied with being a good boy. 164 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,440 I had to look at things with my own eyes 165 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,920 and that led me to turn my back to the purity of my childhood, 166 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,320 which added to the dark period 167 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,320 to study for entrance exams. 168 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,160 At that stage I started drawing manga historical and nihilistic. 169 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,240 That's when I saw an animated film, 170 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,960 "Panda and the magic snake." 171 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,880 It was like a bandage was taken off. that covered my eyes. 172 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,280 Miyazaki decided to dedicate himself to animation 173 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,680 after seeing "Panda and the magic snake." 174 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,360 It was the first movie from Toei Animation in 1958. 175 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,720 It premiered in October, when he was in his last year. 176 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,120 He went to the cinema to escape stress of the exams 177 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,960 and on the screen he discovered a snake 178 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,000 that was transformed in a young fighter. 179 00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:19,680 "This is a story traditional chinese; 180 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,400 tells the story of a snake who falls in love with a young man, 181 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,160 and which later transforms in human to live that love." 182 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,200 As soon as he saw her, Miyazaki fell in love with that heroine. 183 00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:44,200 "Miyazaki had a revelation at 17 years old: 184 00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:46,680 to his passion for manga joined then 185 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,880 a new passion for animated films; 186 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,720 a magical art capable of representing 187 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,720 so much fury of natural elements, 188 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,080 like delicacy of human feelings. 189 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,200 An art capable of arousing astonishment and drive away that despair 190 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,320 so deeply rooted inside." 191 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,560 In the next 15 years, 192 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,680 my work revolved around to a single objective: 193 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,880 watch good animated movies 194 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,120 and overcome them. 195 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,200 "Tokyo. 14 years later. 196 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,720 Two giant pandas, Kan-kan and Lan-lan, 197 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,480 They just arrived from China as a sign of reconciliation 198 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,560 and friendship between both countries after the terrible abuses committed 199 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,120 by Japan during the war. 200 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,240 This "pandamania" took two young people, 201 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,760 animator Hayao Miyazaki and director Isao Takahata, 202 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,320 to create a film together of animation." 203 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,400 "When the movie is released, Miyazaki is the father of two children. 204 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,480 Goro, the eldest and now director, "I was five years old." 205 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,680 I think the movie speaks of all impulses 206 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,080 who has a child how to jump on the table 207 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:54,520 or have bad manners. 208 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,400 all things that are imposed in homes 209 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,760 They are ignored in the movie, everything is allowed. 210 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,840 They even go to the city by boat, and that's fun for them. 211 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,840 In terms of creative responsibility, 212 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,200 it's the first movie in which my father 213 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,040 plays a relevant role. 214 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,160 "It is a film that encourages children to be free 215 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,000 and independent, to explore the world. 216 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,920 "The adventures "Panda and his friends" 217 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,560 marks one of the first collaborations between Miyazaki 218 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:36,840 and Takahata, 219 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,400 They met 10 years before 220 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,480 in the Workers Union from the Toei Animation Studio. 221 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,080 There, the eldest of the Takahata he was vice president 222 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,560 and Miyazaki secretary." 223 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,920 At the beginning, Toei Animation It was the place where they met 224 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,360 the best animators in Japan, and Miyazaki was not alone. 225 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,720 Hayao Miyazaki worked in the animation department, 226 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,800 while Isao Takahata was in the direction. 227 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,920 Among the activities of the union was to serve 228 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,600 as a discussion forum to improve the working conditions. 229 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,200 Of course, there were also discussions 230 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,120 about salary increases, as well as movements to allow 231 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,120 maternity benefit, or demonstrations 232 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,360 in which they opposed to the scales 233 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,920 of nuclear submarines in the ports. 234 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,560 "Miyazaki and Takahata are part of the militant youth 235 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,160 of the 60 that I questioned the decisions 236 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,320 of those responsible for the war, 237 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,280 and they dreamed of another world 238 00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:39,440 with Marxist values and pacifists." 239 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,760 At first, Miyazaki adored Takahata 240 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,880 who was older than him, He was like his mentor. 241 00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:50,120 For a long time, for Miyazaki, 242 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,240 the viewer I loved please was him. 243 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,320 always wondered what would Takahata think. 244 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,320 I think it motivated him, 245 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,480 It was like some kind of competition. healthy; 246 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,560 Miyazaki would not exist without Takahata. 247 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:12,080 "That relationship of emulation, rivalry and unbreakable friendship, 248 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,040 leads them to become two 249 00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:16,400 of the greatest teachers of Japanese animation. 250 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,080 Miyazaki spent almost 10 years working 251 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,080 as an animator for series of television. 252 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,200 Then it was released little by little from Takahata... 253 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,280 and received his first order as a film director to adapt 254 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,640 to the cinema a successful manga, 255 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,120 'The Castle of Caglióstro'." 256 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,120 Miyazaki is very well known currently, 257 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,760 and probably everyone know the movie 258 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,360 "Lupine III: "The castle of Caglióstro". 259 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,120 It is a film that makes the delight of fans. 260 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,360 Everyone agrees that it is a 261 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,480 of Miyazaki's masterpieces. 262 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,360 "This film reveals Miyazaki like an animation prodigy, 263 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,200 capable of projecting on screen burlesque action scenes 264 00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:21,360 and exciting never seen before." 265 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,480 but the truth It's just that no one went to see the movie. 266 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,200 when it premiered. 267 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,400 The sad reality is that he suffered losses 268 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,880 of several hundred million yen 269 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,920 and it came out badly, what's more, 270 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,480 they put the label on it of incapable director 271 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,640 of making movies successful in Japan. 272 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,640 Because this business doesn't understand 273 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,840 of second chances. 274 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,560 "After this failure in the cinema, 275 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,840 Miyazaki returned to television and even agreed to go to Los Angeles 276 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,760 to take care of other work as animation director. 277 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,840 It was a co-production Japanese-American 278 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,480 in which they participated the best Disney animators 279 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,080 and a Japanese team, 280 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,360 including Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki. 281 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,480 The project consisted of adapting the famous comic 'Little Nemo'. 282 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,760 The problem arises when collaboration 283 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,360 It hasn't worked since day one. 284 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,960 Miyazaki's proposals are rejected 285 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,320 and cannot present his ideas. 286 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,920 Every night, alone and far from home, 287 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,200 Miyazaki continues with his personal projects. 288 00:20:56,360 --> 00:20:58,720 It is in this period of his life when you create 289 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,960 the drawings that represent your wishes 290 00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:03,760 and deeper dreams, already present since childhood. 291 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,400 They are stories of connection among the natural world 292 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:12,480 and the human 293 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,360 for those who cannot find financing. 294 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,800 Miyazaki is 40 years old and his career as a director, 295 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,120 that has barely begun, It seems definitely finished. 296 00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:38,960 Your dreams about forests They don't interest anyone. 297 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,920 I have dreamed of an ancient forest. 298 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,920 There was no concrete, no asphalt, 299 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,720 no souvenir shops, nor alcohol. 300 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,800 If a tree suffocated for the wisteria, 301 00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:05,000 if an insect appeared or if an animal was injured, 302 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,720 humans could not intervene. 303 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,280 If humanity survived thousand years, 304 00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:15,120 the forest would become in the treasure of the world. 305 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,600 We would erect a stone monument natural on its borders. 306 00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:23,080 We would record in it that the forest 307 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,280 represents the origin of humanity. 308 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,920 We are all born from the forest. 309 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,320 Back in Japan, 310 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,120 Miyazaki meets again with Toshio Suzuki, 311 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,160 editor of Animage magazine, 312 00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:50,120 very interested in his work since its beginnings." 313 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:51,520 Little by little, 314 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,320 I became in Miyazaki's confidant 315 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,560 and one day he asked me for advice about various things, 316 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,720 in particular about what I should do 317 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:01,800 below. 318 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,520 I asked him, "what do you want to do?" and he answered, 319 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,880 "There is something I want to do whatever it takes." 320 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,320 I said, "And what is it?" 321 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:11,920 And he said: "I want to leave animation." 322 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,680 So I replied: "Why don't you do manga?" 323 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,600 "Manga?" he said, and I replied, "yes, manga." 324 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,880 "The manga, a comic published in episodes, 325 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,040 would finally allow Miyazaki get 326 00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:32,320 total creative freedom through drawing. 327 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,880 I suggested we try with a great epic 328 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,040 far away of our daily lives. 329 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,480 That it was a story extraordinary. 330 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,520 He said, "I understand," 331 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:45,800 and then added, 332 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,840 "I already know. Why don't we do Nausicaä?" 333 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,240 "'Nausicaä'. 334 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,680 A manga centered on a heroine from Greek mythology, 335 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,040 whose publication spanned 12 years. 336 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,640 During all these years, 337 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,480 Nausicaä will become in Miyazaki's incarnation; 338 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:19,160 of its anxiety, of its darkness and their desires for life and light. 339 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,760 The story of Nausicaä develops 340 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,200 in a devastated world due to pollution, 341 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,880 covered in deserts and acid seas, 342 00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:32,160 which nevertheless houses forests 343 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,640 of abundant nature and toxic. 344 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,120 A world at war, in which a princess, 345 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,320 Nausicaä, 346 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,240 who loves to insects and plants 347 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:45,640 as well as humanity, 348 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,720 does everything possible to avoid the annihilation. 349 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,400 A polluted world for which Miyazaki was inspired 350 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,080 in one of the first major ecological disasters 351 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,200 provoked by the petrochemical industry." 352 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,240 An important event led me to the creation of Nausicaä: 353 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,840 mercury pollution on the Japanese coast of Minamata. 354 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,920 The bay became in a sea of death 355 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,000 and humans were forced to stop fishing. 356 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,480 But a few years later schools of fish reappeared 357 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,080 that were not seen anywhere another sea of Japan, 358 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,160 and the rocks were full of oysters. 359 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,280 This news made me goosebumps 360 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,760 "'Nausicaä' is an environmentalist manga and pacifist whose success would be key 361 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,720 to finally convince producers to embark 362 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,040 in a feature film written and directed by Miyazaki." 363 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,040 I always thought about making a movie based on that manga. 364 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,960 I thought it would be reissued, but it didn't sell much. 365 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,600 Then I realized that it wasn't as easy as I had assumed. 366 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,680 Normally, I am not a person who lies, 367 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,400 but when I saw the numbers... 368 00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:14,760 there was a big blank space, 369 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,280 so i said i had sold one hundred thousand copies. 370 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,120 I told the lie more big of my life. 371 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,600 But everyone was happy and success was already guaranteed. 372 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,640 Yes, that's the truth. 373 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,800 "'Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind' 374 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,560 has an extraordinary opening scene 375 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,920 in which the young protagonist, 376 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,920 Nausicaä, lands in a forest 377 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,760 jungle and dangerous, 378 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,200 with huge insects and strange vegetation 379 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:04,720 and goes into it. 380 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,480 It is a message that tries to suggest that the interaction 381 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,920 among nature and humans is necessary. 382 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,760 It is not that humans dominate nature, 383 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,760 but that they work and relate to it 384 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,680 with respect, 385 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,640 with a species of intelligent love, 386 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,600 and be aware that everyone we are part of this enormous 387 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,600 universe of natural connections. 388 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,280 In Japan, nature As a concept it does not exist. 389 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,720 That is, nature does not exist 390 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,520 as an independent whole of the human being. 391 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,280 What exists is a large number of elements of the world, 392 00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:31,280 animate or inanimate, organic or inorganic, 393 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,200 of which we are part, 394 00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:39,720 on which it depends greatly measure our life 395 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,520 and of which we ourselves we are made, 396 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,360 if we think about the microbiota. 397 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,400 But that does not constitute an independent whole. 398 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,040 The success of "Nausicaä" made people vibrate to everyone. 399 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,400 Many people were excited with the project 400 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,680 as had not been seen in a long time. 401 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,080 "'Nausicaä' attracted almost 900,000 spectators in Japan 402 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,360 during the spring of 1984." 403 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,000 That was the starting point 404 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,880 and from there, We decided to open the studio. 405 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,880 "Miyazaki, Takahata and Suzuki they decided 406 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,280 then create a studio animation: Studio Ghibli. 407 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,120 The name Ghibli it occurred to me randomly, 408 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:07,440 It is the name of an airplane. 409 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,040 "A fascinated Miyazaki by airplanes since childhood, 410 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,880 suggested using the name from a military plane from the 30s, 411 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,080 the Caproni 309 Ghibli. 412 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,560 The objective of the study is to give finally to Miyazaki 413 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,480 and Takahata the means to create 414 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,360 movies at the height of his ambition. 415 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:45,840 A unique study that is even in a Tokyo museum since 2001. 416 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,040 This museum is a project designed by Miyazaki 417 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,960 and transferred to architecture by his son Goro." 418 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,240 This is the kind of museum what I want to do 419 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,560 A museum where those who seek have fun they can do it. 420 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,000 Where those who seek to think they can think. 421 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,200 And where those who seek feel they achieve it. 422 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,160 A museum where you sit more valuable leaving than entering. 423 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:30,560 Well... 424 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:32,400 Ghibli is not... 425 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,440 a company that sets a certain objective 426 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,960 and then try hard to get it. 427 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,240 Things happen the way more spontaneous. 428 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,560 Maybe it's the Japanese way of doing things. 429 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,160 "From the beginning from the 2000s, 430 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,400 Ghibli offers experiences 431 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,640 that expand the universe of the movies, 432 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,720 even opening a ghibli park 433 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,320 near the city of Nagoya. 434 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,520 All these interior spaces They continue abroad, 435 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,440 inside a designed park by Goro Miyazaki." 436 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,600 I worked on planning and park design 437 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,480 for 10 years after leaving university. 438 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,880 The park itself is three times larger 439 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:44,280 than the Disney parks in Tokyo, 440 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,560 but more than half is forest. 441 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:03,280 Satsuki and Mei's house from Totoro It's in the park. 442 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,400 It is located in a valley, 443 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,080 and next to her there is a small pond. 444 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:13,280 It is a beautiful place and full of life, 445 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,440 lost in the middle of nowhere. 446 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,040 If we look at the park we will observe 447 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,200 that no two days are the same throughout the year. 448 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,680 Hence the experience 449 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,560 be different every time you visit. 450 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,600 Even if you go to the same forest, 451 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,200 In summer it is completely different that in winter, 452 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,640 and a sunny day is different of a rainy day. 453 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:43,800 You can't help but feel 454 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,160 a connection with nature inside you. 455 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,960 And I think it's that feeling the one that takes us to emotion 456 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:56,480 What do we feel when we see nature? in a Ghibli movie. 457 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:18,120 "The story of Ghibli begins in 1985, when Miyazaki, 458 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:22,800 Takahata and Suzuki produce together the studio's first film. 459 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,040 It was the first opportunity I had 460 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,880 to write an original story. 461 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:31,800 It's a story I imagined 462 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,080 20 years ago, when I started as an animator. 463 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,080 My creations arise from ideas 464 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,520 that he accumulated as a child. 465 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,320 "'Castle in the Sky' It is an adventure in which two children 466 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,120 They go in search of a mysterious flying city 467 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,920 A castle in whose heart a treasure is hidden: 468 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,480 a giant and prodigious tree which appears to be a camphor tree. 469 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:25,640 In this era, 470 00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:29,520 Miyazaki is fascinated by the world of plants and camphor trees. 471 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,640 These trees native to Asia They are sometimes even sacred, 472 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,760 like the one in the Shinto temple from Nagoya, 473 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,960 which is almost 1,300 years old. 474 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,440 This typically Japanese tree serves as inspiration 475 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,440 for the next movie by Miyazaki. 476 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,600 A personal and intimate project which he has been dreaming of for years. 477 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,560 A film that emerged of the reality of his childhood 478 00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:58,680 spent in the field, 479 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,640 without robots or monsters, no flying ships or pirates, 480 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,680 without explosions or antagonists. 481 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,080 A focused film in the spirit of the forest 482 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,600 who lives in a giant camphor tree: 483 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,040 In the scene where you see for the first time to little Totoro, 484 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:53,960 He runs away when he realizes that Mei has discovered him. 485 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,000 Then Mei meets with the older Totoro. 486 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,840 Mei is still a little girl. 487 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,440 still It is close to nature. 488 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,640 It hasn't been molded yet. by adults 489 00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:37,840 and this is why it is connected direct with the natural. 490 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:39,560 In that sense, 491 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,720 I think Mei represents the figure of that primitive Japanese, 492 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,320 with its simplicity and honesty. 493 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,840 "With this film set for the first time in his country, 494 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,040 Miyazaki makes us rediscover a japanese culture 495 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,720 which he considers essential not to forget." 496 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,000 In Japanese, the most important verb 497 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,240 when talking about living beings is "become." 498 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,280 The apples They become apple trees. 499 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,960 Children become adults. 500 00:38:19,240 --> 00:38:20,520 The Japanese believe... 501 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,800 that everything that exists in Nature comes into the world with a soul. 502 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,280 This is how animism was born. 503 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,640 "Thanks to magic of animation, 504 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:05,960 Miyazaki shows us 505 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,600 a natural world, fantastic and splendid. 506 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,360 an imaginary world that however, 507 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,000 is rooted in reality 508 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,000 of a culture in which animism 509 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,480 was very present until not long ago." 510 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,120 Animism in Japan 511 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,280 basically refers to a rural Shintoism, 512 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,440 that is, to the existence of spirits, the Kami, 513 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:33,600 and other creatures with which rural Japan 514 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,000 interact daily 515 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,760 and that Miyazaki's films They portray so well. 516 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,000 It is a universe of balance, 517 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,040 in which nonhumans They are alter egos; 518 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,320 not inanimate objects 519 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,920 but interlocutors with whom we negotiate, 520 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,200 with whom sometimes there are disagreements, 521 00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:02,160 but those who have to be taken seriously and respect. 522 00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:18,360 We must not forget that nature 523 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,800 It's what keeps us alive. 524 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,320 But when we think in nature, 525 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:28,000 It can be a tree or a stone. 526 00:40:28,240 --> 00:40:31,040 I consider it to be very important to understand 527 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,280 that each of these things 528 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:38,320 It is both beautiful and terrifying. 529 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,120 However, 530 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,920 I highly doubt that today's Japanese see things that way. 531 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,680 Today, the relationship of people with things it is urban, 532 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,640 whether they live in the city like in the field, 533 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,680 where there is nothing but nature around him. 534 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:05,280 There are times that I wonder what remains of that animism 535 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,680 that was so rooted in the soul of the Japanese. 536 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:16,320 With Totoro, 537 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,080 Miyazaki invented a creature 538 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,120 that little by little It will become a cult. 539 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,080 A source of happiness for a humanity 540 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,920 that gets further and further away of animism and the living world. 541 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,200 This is what the anthropologist 542 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,680 Philippe Descola called naturalism." 543 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,320 One of the consequences of naturalism is to consider 544 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,800 that non-humans are alien to us, who are, 545 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,160 for using the expression of Descartes, 546 00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:50,400 owners and lords of nature. 547 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:51,680 That is, 548 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,560 that we have capabilities demiurgic to transform 549 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,960 everything in the call natural world, 550 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:02,320 and obtain advantages and benefits; 551 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:03,520 in other words, 552 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,920 we see nonhumans as resources. 553 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,960 I think there is a close relationship between naturalism, 554 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:16,240 the development of capitalism and the ecological catastrophe 555 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,440 that looms every time with more insistence. 556 00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:32,200 "Tokyo 1990. 557 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,480 The Japanese economic miracle is at its peak. 558 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,440 Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli they have achieved 559 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,040 make a name in the Japanese market, 560 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,200 thank you especially the reruns 561 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,080 of his films on television. 562 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,240 At this moment, everyone seems to be having fun 563 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:56,960 except Miyazaki." 564 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:07,320 Miyazaki made a movie after another, one feature film a year. 565 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:12,560 Until one day he told me: "I'm already fed up with feature films, 566 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,120 let me do what I want for once." 567 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:20,360 He said he wanted to do a short film 568 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,320 and thus "Porco Rosso" was born. 569 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,400 Miyazaki asked me to throw him out one look and I told him honestly 570 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:37,640 what I thought... 571 00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:42,640 "I don't understand it very well, 572 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,360 why the protagonist is it a pig?" 573 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:50,960 "'Porco Rosso', 574 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:52,960 it's a short film that narrates the adventures 575 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:54,800 of a former war pilot, 576 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,400 now bounty hunter on the coast Adriatic in the 1920s." 577 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,160 "The film shows an anthropomorphic pig

old pig... 589 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,800 or even in real life, the pig's house." 590 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:49,040 Yes, well. 591 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:54,120 Miyazaki's studio is called Butaya, which means, 592 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,280 workshop and place where a pig lives. 593 00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,680 That's why there is a pig on the facade of the studio. 594 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:08,160 "With 'Porco Rosso', Miyazaki creates a kind of alter ego. 595 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,840 A free and lonely hero on board of a brand new red seaplane. 596 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,440 The problem is that during the production of the film, 597 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,440 the bubble bursts Asian economy, 598 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,640 the Soviet Union collapses, 599 00:45:29,720 --> 00:45:32,400 and in Europe, the Yugoslav War breaks out, 600 00:45:34,240 --> 00:45:37,240 with the bombing of Dubrovnik, on the Adriatic coast. 601 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,960 The same place where it takes place the action of 'Porco Rosso'. 602 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,960 Reality bursts into the film, returning Miyazaki to the present. 603 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,320 'Porco Rosso' can no longer be alone a fun and light short film. 604 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,240 The story becomes more complex 605 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,080 and the movie becomes 606 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,600 little by little in a feature film melancholic and disillusioned, 607 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,520 reflection of mood by Miyazaki at that time." 608 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,160 It is normal to be influenced due to the political situation 609 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:17,960 and economic of the moment. 610 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:19,880 when I started to film 'Porco Rosso', 611 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,480 that takes place in the Adriatic Sea, 612 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:28,240 war broke out between Croatia and Yugoslavia 613 00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,320 and that had a big impact in the movie. 614 00:46:34,240 --> 00:46:37,080 In general, The 90s were a very hard time. 615 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:38,360 for Miyazaki 616 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,800 as for to your perception of the world. 617 00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,160 That perception began to change 618 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,800 even though 'Porco Rosso' It's a fun movie 619 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:53,680 but it reflects a complexity about the type of person 620 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:55,440 what you should be, 621 00:46:55,880 --> 00:47:00,120 how to face your past or how to face yourself. 622 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:05,920 During the realization from 'Porco Rosso' 623 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,520 I had a kind of awareness. 624 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,080 No matter how complicated let things be set, 625 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,280 we have no choice to continue living. 626 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,200 March 20, 1995, 627 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,880 the apocalyptic sect Aum commits an attack in the subway 628 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,320 dispersing sarin gas in five cars 629 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:36,760 during rush hour. 630 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:39,720 A few months before, 631 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,360 an earthquake devastates Kobe city, 632 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,960 causing more than 6,000 deaths and 40,000 injured 633 00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,820 due to construction not resistant to earthquakes. 634 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,200 A series of catastrophes that add to Japan 635 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:56,880 in an apocalyptic mentality." 636 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,520 The question I ask myself today is the following: 637 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:07,200 "what is hope?" 638 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:10,840 And the conclusion to which I should arrive 639 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,240 is that hope involves working 640 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,160 and fight alongside people that are important to you. 641 00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:22,000 In fact, I have reached the point of thinking 642 00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,920 that that is what it means to be alive. 643 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,800 "In this terrible context was born 'Princess Mononoke'. 644 00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:16,680 "'Princess Mononoke'. 645 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:18,880 One of the latest movies animation 646 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:20,040 on celluloid sheets. 647 00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,120 It was drawn and painted completely by hand, 648 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,120 and shot frame by frame. 649 00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,600 Miyazaki, perfectionist and obsessive, 650 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:39,320 He himself made more than 80,000 of the 144,000 drawings. 651 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,040 This is one of the movies Miyazaki's greenest, 652 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,040 one of the most explicitly ecological. 653 00:50:05,240 --> 00:50:10,360 The idea is that the action develops 654 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,800 not only in a kind of decoration, 655 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,280 but in something like that like a living world. 656 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,640 "Princess Mononoke" is a great example of this, 657 00:50:18,720 --> 00:50:22,440 thanks to the forest It has its own spirit. 658 00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,040 My favorite scene of all Miyazaki's works is when, 659 00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,880 in "Princess Mononoke", that deer God appears, 660 00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:58,080 the Shishigami, 661 00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:04,200 made of a kind of phosphorescence that shines 662 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:05,360 and shines. 663 00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:09,600 Miyazaki catches through of animation a sacred moment, 664 00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:11,480 not human. 665 00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:16,071 It is a gift for all to be able see that incredible beauty of something 666 00:51:16,151 --> 00:51:19,480 that has nothing to do with humanity. 667 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:56,040 Miyazaki's animation is based on two big questions. 668 00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,720 The first is a reflection general about life. 669 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,640 "What is life?" 670 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:07,200 it's a question fundamental in his work. 671 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:13,360 The other question is, "What is a human being?" 672 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:15,000 To answer it, 673 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:19,960 we must first recognize that the human being is no more 674 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,960 than a part of nature. 675 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:27,560 If we look at the mechanism cell and DNA, 676 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:30,840 human beings we are not different 677 00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,240 of other living organisms. 678 00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,720 And that's exactly what Miyazaki 679 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,480 asks us in this film, 680 00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:44,480 "What makes a human being different of other organisms?" 681 00:53:00,720 --> 00:53:02,960 "'Princess Mononoke' also brand 682 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,360 a personal turning point in the life of Miyazaki." 683 00:53:10,720 --> 00:53:13,160 Until now, I have always tried to solve 684 00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,680 conflicts in my films 685 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:17,160 because I thought that was it 686 00:53:17,240 --> 00:53:19,080 what gave meaning to the movie. 687 00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,280 But I am aware that that 688 00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,440 won't help us solve the problems 689 00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,200 of today's society. 690 00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:28,720 this movie does not show solutions, 691 00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,280 only unsolvable problems. 692 00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,500 And that doesn't work very well for heartburn. 693 00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,520 "A feature film born of despair and chaos. 694 00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,320 A film for which Miyazaki will make a decision 695 00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,120 after spending months blocked. 696 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,360 For the first time, will not seek reconciliation, 697 00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:49,160 but it will portray a living world 698 00:53:49,240 --> 00:53:52,480 and a humanity dragged for fury and destruction. 699 00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:34,520 In "Princess Mononoke," 700 00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:40,400 create a huge universe where there are animals, 701 00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,760 beasts, gods, 702 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:47,200 spirits and humans, and everyone coexists. 703 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,520 And what do you decide to do with them? 704 00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,040 Well it makes them fight because it has logic, 705 00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:54,760 This is what humanity has been doing 706 00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,760 since it started to "tame" nature. 707 00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:03,360 In a sense, Miyazaki, embrace that darkness. 708 00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,400 Like I said, It's a turning point for him. 709 00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:07,680 That's when you start thinking 710 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,520 that maybe humanity have no salvation. 711 00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,240 I have heard that Ghibli 712 00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,640 makes movies comforting and soft. 713 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:49,920 Well, I have an impulse irrepressible to destroy that idea. 714 00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:52,640 In my opinion, if we don't address the problems 715 00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:56,080 what we face currently directly 716 00:55:56,440 --> 00:56:00,800 and immediate, There is no point in making movies. 717 00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,600 I don't understand how we can ignore the chaos of our reality 718 00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:06,320 and pretend that everything is going to be fine. 719 00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:09,400 "'Princess Mononoke' 720 00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,240 becomes in an existential movie 721 00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,640 for which Miyazaki demands the total commitment of everyone. 722 00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,440 We are faced with a situation unprecedented. 723 00:56:19,240 --> 00:56:20,240 It's not a bluff: 724 00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,200 At this moment there are 20,000 left frames to finish, 725 00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,480 and that's not including the coloring. 726 00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,040 It will be the last animation 727 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,760 on celluloid sheets of this magnitude. 728 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,920 "With this movie, Miyazaki turns 729 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,960 to everything that worries you for 30 years: 730 00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:42,880 spirits, 731 00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:47,240 forests, giant animals, wars, 732 00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:48,600 diseases... 733 00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,600 Grouped in the breast of an ancient animist culture. 734 00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:55,160 All these elements united for his prodigious capacity 735 00:56:55,240 --> 00:56:56,760 for rhythm and drawing. 736 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,120 I joined Ghibli... 737 00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:03,520 during the second year 738 00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:06,600 production from "Princess Mononoke" 739 00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,680 and I can assure you that the studio was chaos. 740 00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,640 Miyazaki's screams echoed throughout the studio 741 00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,320 while I was wondering What trouble I had gotten myself into. 742 00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:20,800 We didn't have a day off and we worked non-stop 743 00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,520 until after midnight. 744 00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,040 When Miyazaki 745 00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:33,720 makes a movie, 746 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:40,200 draw storyboards on the fly. 747 00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:43,600 At the beginning of production no one I knew what the movie would be like. 748 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:47,800 Only when a new one arrived storyboard, 749 00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,040 I found out what was going on to move on next, 750 00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:51,160 like in a manga series. 751 00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,480 I don't think this kind of approach 752 00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:58,400 be used anywhere else. 753 00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:17,120 There is no room for Yakul. 754 00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:20,640 I should get some sleep, it's late. 755 00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,280 Yes, but this is vital for what is coming. 756 00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:31,520 It is crucial to understand that Miyazaki He doesn't want to give a happy ending. 757 00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:35,960 It won't show humans living happily 758 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,120 in the forest with the beasts 759 00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,120 that now, by magic, they know how to speak 760 00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:45,520 Instead, gives us a very ambiguous ending 761 00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:48,360 very typical of Miyazaki 762 00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:52,000 and shows us his particular vision of animism, according to which, 763 00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,360 in nature there are no clear endings. 764 00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:28,880 "A movie that will pass to history 765 00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:30,920 like Miyazaki's darkest, 766 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,280 having however, a great success." 767 00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:38,320 If you want to buy tickets, come back after 1 p.m. 768 00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,280 Tickets for the screening from "Princess Mononoke" 769 00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:42,920 at 12:20 they are sold out. 770 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,280 "More than 14 million of spectators sold out 771 00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:49,680 tickets to cinemas for several months. 772 00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:55,160 The film becomes in a phenomenon 773 00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:58,560 that will overcome even the national level 774 00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:02,120 and will mark a turning point historic for Studio Ghibli. 775 01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:06,840 It just so happened that Disney Studios 776 01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:09,680 they were interested at Ghibli at the time. 777 01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,360 They invited us to collaborate with them 778 01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,040 and that's how we opened up 779 01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,880 internationally. 780 01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:26,240 "Thanks to Disney, 781 01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,080 Miyazaki benefits for the first time 782 01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:29,960 of the distribution in the United States. 783 01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,920 Western audiences discover to a certain Hayao Miyazaki, 784 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,400 japanese film director of animation of 57 years." 785

anxiety. 788 01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:55,960 I was wondering if this movie, 789 01:00:57,280 --> 01:00:59,364 based on such a culture unique like ours, 790 01:00:59,444 --> 01:01:01,400 would be appreciated by people from other countries. 791 01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:03,560 However, after being in Toronto, 792 01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:05,240 Los Angeles and New York, 793 01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:09,840 I was able to verify that the public I understood the movie, 794 01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:13,480 and my anxiety It became joy. 795 01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:18,040 I hope Enjoy it tonight. 796

get closer to the ground we will see 839 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,960 a nice path of about 50 meters, and we will think it is beautiful. 840 01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:34,200 And if the weather is also

849 01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:40,880 and the devil comes out all kinds of things, 850 01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:42,960 waste that has been absorbed of humans. 851 01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:46,200 That's
