This documentary was shot in 2013, just at the creative stage of the wind, so it mainly covers some discussions and considerations during the creation of this work, as well as some work scenes and exchanges in Ghibli's daily operations.

Toshio Suzuki and Hayao Miyazaki started working together from the manga of "Nausicaa" and have been working together for more than 30 years. Both of them have gray hair, but they have the temperament that has been precipitated over the years. It seems that they looked better when they were young. Ordinary. I always feel that Toshio Suzuki feels a little bit like Wu Nianzhen. It looks weak, but it can release huge energy, the kind of energy that can connect everyone and everything around.

From the film, I saw some interesting habits. For example, Grandpa Miyazaki buys Yakult every day, the company does radio gymnastics every day, greets the children in kindergarten every day, and puts the lamb around the movie out of the window to let the passing children pass by. we appreciate.

Excerpts from the words of Hayao Miyazaki's grandfather in the film:

Hearing Naoto Kan's campaign speech outside the window, he said to the young people of the company: This is the 21st century, I am showing myself, I am a person of the 20th century, I don't want to face the 21st century, but here are a group of young people of the 21st century, 24.

The camera recorded the conditions for the resignation of the staff listed in the studio: staff who have no idea, staff who cannot stop talking, staff who depend on others, staff who shirk their responsibilities, staff who have no enthusiasm, staff who are disgruntled, staff who are lazy and late

At the beginning of Ghibli's establishment, Hayao Miyazaki, who was not too old, said to new employees: If Ghibli is no longer attractive to you, then resign. It's me, and I'll resign too.

When the reporter asked about the future, he said that the studio will definitely fall apart in the future, which I can see now. Don't worry about it, it's inevitable. Ghibli was a random name he took from an airplane. It's just a name.

Ghibli has a cat named Niuzi, he looked at the cat sleeping on the table and said: Look how peaceful it is, there is no timetable, Niuzi, you can replace me.

When talking about the driving force of creation, when talking about children, he said: The problem begins when a person is born. Children are born with infinite possibilities, and these possibilities are abandoned one by one. Choosing one thing means giving up another. Human existence is just like that.

When it comes to happiness: the purpose of life is to pursue happiness, the idea that I don't understand. Do you think the purpose of your life is to make yourself happy? Are you working hard for your own happiness? Usually I never think about whether I am happy or not, and I can't imagine a person who can live for such a purpose. Because making movies is bound to make people unfortunate.

At the end of the credits, the name of Hirokazu-eda was seen in the production cooperation. Sure enough, things you like and people can always be linked at some point.
