プロフェッショナル 仕事の流儀 ジブリと宮崎駿の2399日

If I don't finish this

If I don't finish this, I will never escape punishment.

- What is that? - I don't know.

What a pain!

This man

should have ended his career as a movie director.

A tatarigami!

What a pain!

What a pain!

But he never did...

he has returned.

What a pain!

I'm sorry about that.

Miyazaki Hayao Movie director

The man who will never be finished, Miyazaki Hayao.

I was so sleepy this morning.

I wanted to get just a little sleep.

But I couldn't let that happen.

As you all are already aware, Miyazaki Hayao will be retiring.

I am serious,

this time!

But...

Nothing scares this old man!

He's repealed his own retirement.

And the thing that he wanted to draw...

There are so many parrots!

Frogs! Frogs! Frogs!

Why does he continue to draw after having received so many honors and awards?

It's strange, isn't it?

Stupid.

I'm troubled so much because E-part isn't coming together!

How does he have so much energy?

Is it tenacity?

Even death isn't the end?

He's like a raging bull, an Okkotonushi.

What is it about living that's so fun for him?

What is it about living that's so fun for him?

The truth of life isn't a just, shiny beacon.

It's messy and comprised of a great many things.

I'm at a point in my life where I have to create works...

that draw on things that are hidden deep inside me.

At the edge of madness and sanity...

What did he see at its end...?

That young boy is possessed by death.

Not even I don't know what it means to live.

I'm stopping...

Don't stop. I can't stop.

Let's go!

It's done.

There's no time.

I want a cigarette.

I'm worried how it's going to turn out.

Once they decide on something, they act on it immediately.

Why am I the only one alive?

Professional -- Way of Work file: 527 Miyazaki Hayao Special

That's an amazing title.

- What was the title? Producer - Suzuki Toshio

- You don't know? Producer - Suzuki Toshio

...Amazing.

The Boy and the Heron

May 2017

The beginnings of many painful days awaited.

They're here.

That person was contrary...

and secondly, hated cameras.

Good morning.

The past few days, he's paid no attention to the coming interview

and only exists in the world of film.

Good morning.

How rare.

Did you get fired from NHK?

No, not yet.

Narration: Hashimoto Satoshi

The interview was conducted as if it were a student, ready...

to make the 20 year journey through the world of film with a camera in one hand.

This should be fastened from the inside, Suzuki-san.

Okay!

And it should be unfastened just like this.

I'm not sure if I can even make a movie anymore.

Are things moving along with the storyboard?

Yeah, they're inching along.

Inching along?!

It's probably best to wait reading it until B part is finished.

Well...

It's probably not too interesting to read right now.

Miyazaki was in the middle of drawing storyboards based on the script.

That is to say, very near halfway complete.

You're taking the same shot many times.

Sorry.

Can you do this for me while I sleep?

Next to his desk is a sketch of what appears to be the main character, a young boy.

And a strange bird.

It's a heron man.

What kind of person is he?

He looks like that.

He's like a messenger of death...

who has come for a visit.

There is almost always a real-life model for each character in one of Miyazaki's anime.

The model for the Grey Heron is the Producer, Suzuki.

He's stubborn.

Miyazaki is the kind of person to cause trouble.

The Studio Ghibli press conference will now begin.

September 2013

Press conference to announce retirement.

Thank you to everyone who has worked with me over the years.

I don't believe anything like this will happen again, so I appreciate it.

But...

After only three years of retirement...

July 2016.

I've written something.

That was fast.

With an innocent look on his face, he presents a written proposal.

Don't say it.

This is like a trap in my life.

Could I have five minutes of your time?

Only three minutes.

- You mentioned that your body isn't holding up. - Yeah.

Yet you still want to create more movies. Why is that?

Because I'll forget.

What?

Because I'll forget.

You say you... forgot?

Retirement... it is what it is.

I don't really care for it.

It's because of Suzuki-san's delusions.

But Miyazaki-san, you're the liar!

He says that he'll quit, and then turns around and creates another one.

Hayao, the boy who cried wolf.

But creatives are like that.

It's one of their talents.

Telling lies with indifference.

La la...

January 2018

Good morning.

Happy birthday.

How old do you think I am now?

That's not to say that there was nothing to worry about.

I got it!

Seventy-seven!

Correct!

Amazing.

He'll be eighty years old when the movie is complete.

To tell the truth...

When Miyazaki-san said that he wanted to make another movie

to put it simply, I was very worried.

That a director a great as him would have aged so much

that his movies would lose their impact.

There are many cases of those being impossible to watch, aren't there?

What should I do?

Suzuki had a terrifying plan in store.

He had a directive for Miyazaki.

There's no 2B pencil.

2B, Honda-san?

3B and HB are being used for different things.

You really are young.

Honda Takeshi is a skilled animator who worked under Anno Hideaki.

Suzuki went to Anno and directly asked for Honda.

And thus, Anno has another reason to despise us.

I wonder if he resents me at all...

Honda's appearance has driven Miyazaki into a wall.

There's no point in getting footage of me. There's plenty of that out there already.

But Miyazaki-san...

Right now, I'm worn out...

If you get footage of Honda-san

you could probably sell it at an internet auction for a pretty penny.

It's a tough way to live.

It is?

Yes.

April 2018

And his difficulties would continue.

Security is currently active.

Security had been deactivated.

Paku-san is dead.

Takahata Isao has passed away.

He helped to create Studio Ghibli and was an indispensable presence in Miyazaki's life,

and the both of them competed in filmmaking.

Chase the humans out!

Pom Poko is piece of entertainment that combines

the difficult themes of humans and nature.

I wasn't intending to bring my fifth-grade self along on my trip.

My Neighbors the Yamadas was the first Ghibli movie.

to be selected for The Museum of Modern Art Collection.

Grave of the Fireflies -

Mom, don't go!

But there was one director that Miyazaki feared.

Why did he make Pom Poko into such a boring film?

Tanukis aren't dead.

They're alive!

This critique would never have been voiced on camera while Takahata was alive.

We had a love-hate relationship.

It wasn't simple...

Understand?

Arakawa has experienced a lot of that.

February 2012

Takahata has been interviewed before.

Takahata-san.

What is it that's on your mind right now?

Well...

I don't really want to break it down right now...

My apologies...
