[Next Episode]
Who are you?!
Mr. Miyazaki!
What are you drawing with that difficult face?
I have something for you, too.
With a stopwatch...
you're going to blindfold me?
I'm sorry. I'll tell you later.
[Mr. Miyazaki]
Speaking of Mr. Miyazaki...
Thank you for everything you've done for the movie.
Three years ago, he suddenly announced his retirement
and withdrew from the front line
saying he wouldn't make a feature film anymore.
It's over now.
That's what everyone thought.
But it wasn't actually over yet.
What everyone didn't know he was making
was a 12-minute feature film.
It was a dream that didn't come true for many years.
It's an illusion project.
Moreover, he challenged a new animation using computer graphics.
It's like using a new virus.
But, things can't go that easily.
It's difficult.
It's pathetic.
It's a moment when all of this is added up.
In the midst of that, he made a big decision.
I'm a little excited.
He said he would do a remake of a movie that should have retired.
It's funny.
(snoring)
No one knows.
It's Miyazaki-san's two-year record.
Last winter, a year after Miyazaki-san's retirement speech...
Studio Ghibli was quietly sinking back in time.
The production floor created a lot of movies...
...but no one was there.
After Miyazaki-san's retirement...
...the production floor of Ghibli was disbanded.
The animators left the studio and stopped working.
What in the world is Miyazaki-san doing?
I walked from Ghibli and visited his studio for three minutes.
What are you doing?
I'm sick of it.
There are a lot of funerals and things like that now.
He poured me a cup of coffee while telling me it's okay.
Here you go.
Thank you.
I don't have the energy to live in today's world anymore.
Three years ago, Miyazaki-san decided to retire...
...because he realized that he didn't have the stamina...
...to lead hundreds of staff members and make a feature film.
Now, it's three days to make an exhibition of Ghibli Museum by himself.
I'm a retired pensioner.
If you concentrate like you used to, you won't be able to move.
You'll just play around.
Would you like some tea?
I just had some coffee.
Would you like some tea again?
Do you have a lot of free time?
Hey, Hiro.
Is there anything I can do?
Is this the only thing I can do?
Hardly anyone comes to visit.
Miyazaki-san used to be unthinkable.
I was born in Ghibli's "Alice in Wonderland".
A world full of imagination that captures the hearts of those who see it and does not speak of it.
Where did you come from? Where is your home?
I won an academy award and stirred up a wave of attention.
While today's animation is headed for CG, what I was particular about was the hand-drawing.
Even with only four seconds of cut, it takes more than a year of hard work.
It's a job that makes you lose your mind.
Miyazaki-san was a movie-making demon who wouldn't forgive even the slightest compromise.
I really thought it was over.
No, I was sitting in the backseat.
And when I was sitting in the backseat and doing it, I ended up eating it.
I ate their talent.
I wanted to do it with this guy, but I couldn't do it alone.
The deer eat people.
It ended in the middle of the night.
It's not a big deal.
However, two months later, when I asked him about it...
Miyazaki-san looked a little different.
It's not a big deal.
He talks a lot about CG, which he should have hated.
It's not a big deal.
Two days ago, he met a young CG animator.
It's not a big deal.
What? He's retired, but what does it mean?
Miyazaki-san showed me a sketch of a caterpillar called "boro".
Actually, it's an imaginary project that couldn't be realized while hoping for a movie 20 years ago.
Since the producer, Suzuki-san, has retired and has some time left,
he said that he would like to make a short film with CG while having fun.
These are the CG animators we met today.
They made CG for "Kemushi no Boro".
Let me show you in detail.
Is this "Kemushi no Boro"?
This is "Kemushi no Boro".
I can't move my head, but I can't move my legs.
I think you have to do it like that.
It looks like it's going well.
Thank you for your time today.
I was stimulated by you.
Thank you.
I feel like I can do it.
Miyazaki, who has been particular about handwriting, decided to do an illusion project with CG.
I'm very excited to try something new from Miyazaki.
Even if you say you'll try it, you'll be nervous.
Is that so?
I'll just go for it.
Forward, forward, forward.
Now, animation is the era of CG.
The greatest charm is the precise and overwhelming expression power that cannot be drawn by human hands.
The era was started by Mr. Miyazaki's best friend, Mr. John Lasseter.
Now, he leads Pixar and Disney, the best CG animation studio in the world.
He has developed new technologies one after another.
For example, Sully's hair from "Monsters, Inc."
Now, 2.3 million hairs can be moved by computer's automatic calculation.
Even if Mr. Miyazaki does it, Lasseter will definitely come and see it, right?
It's up to Mr. Miyazaki if he's used to it or not.
It's embarrassing.
Miyazaki-san has started to move!
It's been a while since we've been in a studio.
I'm Koizumi-san.
I guess I'm going to send this to Mamoru.
What he's started to draw are icons that indicate the movement of characters.
Whether it's drawing or CG, it all depends on when you make the cut.
This short film won't be shown in a movie theater, but only at the Ghibli Museum.
How can they make a movie at such a low price?
The budget is also within our reach.
(Miyazaki-san's first movie)
I just ate breakfast, and it's already lunchtime.
I'm going home now, and I'm going to sleep on the building.
Instead of showing it to a large audience,
I wanted to explore new expressions of animation at the end.
(Miyazaki-san's first movie)
But Miyazaki-san, who is 75 years old,
felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker.
Even if you eat a lot of food, you won't get any soup.
You won't get any water either.
I don't think you'll get any water either.
Thank you very much.
For an old man like me, who has lost his strength and stamina,
it's a huge mistake for me to think that youth will come again.
But...
Where did you go last night?
How can I live with the time left behind?
It seemed like Miyazaki-san was thinking about it all the time.
- Welcome. - Thank you for coming.
The CG director, Sakuragi-san and his team got together and started making a full-length short film.
There's a lot of people here and I'm getting nervous.
Let's take it easy.
I want to come over here first.
- Here it is. - What's this?
How will they express Miyazaki-san's picture in CG?
Sakuragi-san and his team are in charge of the details.
Oro is born from an egg and sees the world for the first time.
He eats it for the first time and...
He poops.
He rolls over.
He poops by himself.
If you poop, you'll definitely see it.
It's like rain falling on you.
- I've never heard of it. - I've never heard of it either.
There aren't a lot of characters like this, so it's easy to grasp.
Oro started being made on the computer.
It's like Karinto!
It's funny.
You can put your head in here.
Oh, you can put your legs in!
Put your hands in.
I'm trying to make it look like I can do a lot of things.
Yeah, try it out.
C.G.'s Oro has started moving!
It's strange.
It's like we're making a new virus.
Miyazaki-san is writing something passionately!
This is a layout of the character's movements, drawn in more detail than in a picture book.
This is a design drawing for making a CG.
Actually, it's not necessary to draw in such detail,
but it seems like he's trying to convey his own image as accurately as possible.
I can't do anything about it.
Miyazaki-san, you're 100 times more energetic than last year.
I'm not energetic.
No, you're definitely energetic. Your eyesight is different.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I'm sorry.
You're definitely energetic.
That's not how you say it.
Your eyesight is different.
You're funny.
I'm an advanced senior citizen.
An advanced senior citizen.
I'm not good at it.
Who told you that?
Me.
You're not good at it.
I'm not good at it, right?
Yesterday, instead of getting a driver's license, I went to the toll booth and lined up with my peers, and I was surprised at how old I was.
I was such an old man.
This is it.
What is this?
It's a surprising landscape.
Old man, old man, you surprise me.
Hey, can you turn on the TV for a second?
Finally, the first CG has been completed.
A new-born old man sees the world for the first time in the beginning of the movie.
You know, you're turning around a little bit more maturely.
No, I mean, if you look more closely, you can see it.
But you can't see it so clearly.
You can see it, right?
But you're not that mature yet, you've just been born.
Well, basically, it's kind of dull.
It's the first time in the world.
This kind of thing is all culture.
It's difficult.
The old man's maturity, which he saw for the first time in the world, could not be expressed at all.
- That's right. - Yes.
At this time, there were sad news around Miyazaki- san.
His friends who had created Japanese animation together passed away.
It was around this time.
There was no time.
Miyazaki-san suddenly said...
I wonder what's going on?
In other words...
People who were definitely going to live longer than me died first.
I wonder what's going on?
Even after that, CG came up little by little.
Miyazaki-san couldn't accept it at all.
He had to remake everything.
You should move your eyes and head a little faster.
This is not about life and death.
It may look like garbage, but it's a lot of work.
It's better to crush it like this.
It's the moment when all these decades of accumulation become bread.
How is it?
It hasn't rained yet.
Thank you very much.
Somehow, there is no one here.
It's like this.
Everyone did it.
It's like an anime.
Looking at what you've done.
Yes.
I think we shouldn't do it like this.
That's right.
Yes.
I'm asking you a little.
Thank you very much.
It doesn't work many times, does it?
Yes.
It doesn't work many times, does it?
Yes.
It can't be helped.
Should we quit or not?
I think we should quit.
Yes.
Everyone feels like that, doesn't it?
We're going to do it over and over again.
It's a good thing that we can show it to our customers like this.
Let's do it thoroughly and see if we can do it.
That's right.
I think we can't do it.
I'd like you to talk a little more.
Can you bring me a chair?
After all, I want to make something that makes sense.
I want to make something that makes sense.
I really do.
What is this?
A computer that he has never touched before.
Will he fix it by himself?
Can you stretch it out first?
Yes.
If you touch here...
Oh, you stretch it out.
Yes.
I see.
Is it okay for each part of it to be this big?
Even though it's coming out...
If you move it...
You can't see it.
So...
Put it in like "beeeeen" and...
Put it in like "gozufun" and...
He draws a subtle feeling that words can't fully convey.
But...
Huh? The eraser...
I think I erased it.
Huh? It doesn't move.
Huh? This seal...
Huh? It's multiplying more and more.
It doesn't work like a draft that was fixed by sticking to 0.1mm.
Please do it today.
Yes.
Somehow it looks very frustrating.
As it is, this kind of cut doesn't come up.
For the time being, I think it's better to do this to get to a common starting position.
What didn't go well even among them is that riot scene.
This is it. This scene is the worst.
We can't fail. It's a riot.
At this rate, we won't be able to create a charming scene like we imagined with a picture book.
But what should we do?
Miyazaki himself didn't have any ideas.
It's difficult.
It's pathetic.
I don't know what to do with this.
It's bad.
I don't know why it's so bad.
It depends on whether you can handle it or not.
It's like a real retirement.
That's where it's bad, right?
The atmosphere in the studio is getting heavier by the day.
It looks like Sakuragi-san is tired, too.
It's mid-December, when we couldn't find Toppa- kun.
That day, the studio was quiet again.
You went to the hospital last night, didn't you?
To the hospital?
Yes.
You looked like you weren't feeling well last night.
I've been like that for a while now.
You said you weren't feeling well and went to the hospital.
Yes.
Are you okay?
I'm not okay.
You said you were sick last night.
This is a timer. You can't eat this.
The other person went to the press conference of "Star Wars", which was created with the latest CG technology.
Be quiet.
This world is totally different from that of "Star Wars".
If you get tired of it, use a pencil and run away.
Everyone was defeated by "Star Wars".
I want to do "Star Wars" without an agency.
Don't you think so, Davies?
Thank you.
I feel like I'm in my 30s or 40s.
I can't help it.
I don't think so.
But it's different.
What makes you think Miyazaki-san is crazy?
It's not because I don't want to do anything.
I think that's what it is.
I'm not saying it in a narcissistic way.
That's why...
Making a movie is the most enjoyable thing for an old director like me.
Not at all, not at all, not at all, not at all.
But...
I don't want to make a movie.
I want to go somewhere else.
I don't like the movies I used to like.
But the moment I saw "One Shot"...
I thought, "This is wonderful."
I think that's what a movie is.
Thank you for watching.
It's a mystery.
That beginning scene...
It looks like something flashed by.
What is this?!
We're going to catch some fish at night.
He said that he would draw unknown creatures called "fish of the night" around the mud.
I won't let anyone do fun things.
Let's break through my barrier.
My cursed barrier.
Let's do it like a death penalty.
Let's do it!
It's the first time in Miyazaki-san's long movie life that he changed the beginning of a movie so boldly.
When a movie is made, it's most important not to feel sorry for it.
There's no such thing as "Ah, I should have done it."
I did it, but it didn't work.
So I did it again.
Yes.
I really did it.
Miyazaki-san's imagination seeds have started to grow.
Blech!
I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know.
The world is beautiful when it's full of hands.
The world is beautiful when it's empty.
That's what I want to see.
The world of Miyazaki-san is expanding endlessly.
And...
A scene like this was born.
It's noisy.
It's really mysterious.
It seems that the short film has crossed a big mountain.
Since then, Miyazaki-san's time on the desk has been getting longer and longer.
In fact, Miyazaki-san had started to draw a certain conflict in detail by hand.
Miyazaki-san's time on the desk has been getting longer and longer.
It's quite interesting how CG and the staff have made it.
There are times when I'm fed up with losing, but I'm still doing it.
Is there a time when you're fed up with losing?
Of course there is.
There are times like that, but I'm not in a situation where I'm giving it my all.
This is the most difficult cut with countless staff members working hard.
He draws it in detail, as if he were fighting against CG.
And one day...
Miyazaki-san suddenly said these words.
If you're going to make it now, what are you going to make?
That's what I think.
I don't think there's anything to be desperate about in times like this.
If you're going to make it now...
What are you going to make?
If you're going to make it now...
Isn't there something you want?
If you're going to make it now and it takes five years...
I'm 80 years old.
Should I try this story one more time?
Or should I do it because I want to do it?
I have to do it.
I don't want to get involved in trouble.
I don't want to cause trouble.
I don't want my heart to stop.
Really...
Miyazaki didn't say anything more.
He kept drawing a lot of caterpillars.
Even when he came...
One day, something happened.
Are there so many of you?
How many of you are there?
They are people who are developing CG in IT companies.
Can you do this for me?
Yes, well, for now, it is announced everywhere that artificial intelligence is used for video processing.
Well, it's like we're doing this at home.
He will show us CG that was learned by artificial intelligence.
It looks like it's dancing, but it's learning how to move fast.
It's using its head to move, but its ears don't have a sense of touch and its head is not important.
It's using its head like a normal foot to move.
This movement is so unpleasant that it could be used for a zombie game.
If we use artificial intelligence like this, maybe we can create unpleasant movements that humans can't imagine.
That's what we're doing.
How about you, doctor?
Well, I see him every morning.
These days, I don't see him every morning, but I have a friend who has a physical disability.
It's hard for me to just high-touch him.
I high-touch him with my hands and his muscles are stiff.
When I think about him, I find it interesting and I can't do anything about it.
People who make CG don't think about pain or anything like that.
It's extremely unpleasant.
If you want to do something so unpleasant, you can do it yourself.
I don't want to tell you about our work at all.
I feel extremely insulted by life.
- But this is mostly an experiment. - Yes, I know that.
- It's not something you can show the world. - Yes, I know that very well.
Where do you want to reach?
I want to create a machine that draws like humans do.
It's like being in the last room of the earth.
That's because humans don't have confidence in themselves.
One day, animation may be out of reach for people.
What is Miyazaki-san planning to do from now on?
I wrote about it on Friday.
It was at the beginning of August.
Mr. Miyazaki took out what he had and showed it to Mr. Suzuki, the producer.
It was a proposal for a new feature film.
Unfortunately, we only have this much.
It was before the Olympics.
2 centimeters.
So...
It's now. It's been six months since we started.
I don't care what kind of electricity you use, Mr. Suzuki.
As long as we make this film...
But...
Something like this might happen.
Mr. Miyazaki writes a screenplay and says, "We'll die."
Then we'll make this film.
We have to die.
I want to make a feature film again.
It was a sign of determination.
It's important for both of us.
Even if we die young or old, we'll think about it.
It's in our past.
I hope you'll accept it.
But...
It's better to fight than to die.
I don't think we'll die.
And then, after a while...
Miyazaki-san and Yasuda-michiyo-san, who have been making films with Miyazaki-san.
They were 77 years old.
Once again, Miyazaki-san is heading to the desk.
Is it a new film?
Yes.
Try it.
If you cut about 100 frames, you'll know how to do it.
It's difficult.
But...
We don't know yet if Miyazaki-san's modified film will really make a move.
But Miyazaki-san realized that living is making films.
