This is a documentary about Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki. The film was beautifully shot, probably in the summer of Japan, and the narration was a gentle female voice, speaking in a eloquent manner. Produced in 2013, the film chronicles Miyazaki's rise to the end of the film's production and the process of preparing for its release. Probably in order to fit the theme of the wind, there are several pictures of the wind blowing the leaves. The voice was very beautiful, I vaguely felt that this voice was familiar when I was a child, but I hadn't heard it for a long time, and I probably hadn't been so quiet in my heart for a long time that I couldn't hear it.
Watching Hayao Miyazaki, who was 72 years old at the time, still working every day, from 11 am to 9 pm, watching him paranoid trying to draw the scene in his mind, I felt that being a writer, whether it was writing or making animation, Movies are a very lucky thing. My work will stay when I get old, and I can read it. Another founder of Ghibli, Takahata Xun, did not write much in the film. In 2013, his Kaguya Story was also to be released. It is an ink animation film, and I plan to watch it another day. After watching the film, I searched for Takahata Xun, and found that he had passed away in April this year, and a sadness poured out of my heart. I don't know what will happen to Ghibli if Miyazaki also dies in the future. However, Hayao Miyazaki himself watched it very openly, and he said in the film that it would decline and dissolve. This is different from what I imagined him to be, so rational or pessimistic.
At the end of the film, Miyazaki held a press conference for his retirement, but it seems like he was coming back last year. Maybe I really can't sit still, or I still want to tell the story in my heart. Either way, it's worth looking forward to.
