"I wish I could work for another ten years"

At the end, in the lounge before the press conference announcing his retirement, at that moment, Hayao Miyazaki stood at the window and waved to the director with the camera, called her to him, pointed out the window and said to her: See (that The man who watered the flowers) was watering the plants, he wouldn't have dreamed that we were looking at him, (farther away) did you see the ivy-covered house, jumping from the roof on the right to the other Roof, dash to that blue and green wall, jump over and climb up the water pipe, walk over the roof, jump to the next, (these) would be fun to do in animation; If you say it above, you should be able to walk to the other side. If you look down from a high place, you can really see many things. You should be able to run on the concrete wall. Because of this, the originally boring city can become a Unparalleled movie stage. It is very interesting to observe from this angle, right, very interesting, I feel that I can go far, far, (the voice decreases) very far, far.

When Hayao Miyazaki said these words, his cartoons were on the screen: Nausicaa was walking through the woods with a gun on her back, the bright red plane piloted by Porcupine was flying across the sky, and Parker was heading towards Sida. Running all the way in the pipeline, the masked Princess Mononoke galloped like a ninja on the tiled roof, Chihiro was lying on the top of the white dragon and flew in the clouds, and the cat bus grinned and shuttled through the high cables. On, Kiki rides a black cat on top of a broom and has a bird's-eye view of this bay city with red roofs and blue tiles, the wind blows her skirt and swaying randomly, Jinyuji laughs and jumps from one fish-shaped wave to another, Hal. Holding Sophie, he descended from the sky step by step like walking down steps, overlooking the hustle and bustle of the crowd below. Finally, the white paper airplane swept over Horikoshi Jiro's head at a low altitude, blowing his hair, and disappeared into the twilight distance.

Watching this series of scenes, I couldn't help myself anymore, and I had the urge to cry. Hayao Miyazaki, who has always observed the world with a childlike innocence, is far away from me, and I miss him very much.
