1. Now it's all in the past.Copy !req
2. Our era is ending.Copy !req
3. Maybe it's for the best.Copy !req
4. We'd like to start the
press conference.Copy !req
5. We'll start with a statement
by Director Hayao Miyazaki.Copy !req
6. Just one comment.Copy !req
7. I've caused a stir before
by saying I'm quitting.Copy !req
8. So people don't believe me.Copy !req
9. But... this time...Copy !req
10. I mean it.Copy !req
11. I try to stay in
shape and go easy,Copy !req
12. but it's getting harder
to concentrate.Copy !req
13. It's a physical fact.Copy !req
14. Old age brings problems.
It can't be helped.Copy !req
15. I've always done my best,
so I have no regrets.Copy !req
16. I believe I've always pushed
myself to the limit.Copy !req
17. I've never looked back.Copy !req
18. My era of feature-length films
is clearly over.Copy !req
19. I've decided to treat
any desire to continueCopy !req
20. as the delusions of an old man.Copy !req
21. I'm coming.Copy !req
22. Why the camera?Copy !req
23. Pardon my intrusion.Copy !req
24. I'm retired, now.Copy !req
25. Lots of snow, eh?Copy !req
26. Lots of funerals too, lately.
I hate it.Copy !req
27. They were all younger than me.Copy !req
28. Hope this coffee's not too
strong for you.Copy !req
29. Thank you.Copy !req
30. I've stopped
accommodating others.Copy !req
31. That song Let It Go
is popular now.Copy !req
32. It's all about being yourself.
But that's terrible.Copy !req
33. Self-satisfied
people are boring.Copy !req
34. We have to push hard
and surpass ourselves.Copy !req
35. - It's time to work.
- Please do.Copy !req
36. Don't mind me.Copy !req
37. No need to film.Copy !req
38. I'm just doodling something
for display at the museum.Copy !req
39. I'm a retired old geezer.Copy !req
40. A pensioner.Copy !req
41. If I concentrate
like I once did,Copy !req
42. I suddenly get exhausted.Copy !req
43. I just fool around, now.Copy !req
44. Want some tea?Copy !req
45. I've got things I want to do,
but don't feel I can.Copy !req
46. I want to create
something extraordinary.Copy !req
47. I just don't know if
I can do it.Copy !req
48. Hey, birdie!Copy !req
49. Want some food?Copy !req
50. This won't do...Copy !req
51. How about chocolate?Copy !req
52. Studio Ghibli was
founded for Hayao.Copy !req
53. His ability to keep
going is crucial.Copy !req
54. So now...Copy !req
55. If Hayao quits, it's meaningless
to have a production team.Copy !req
56. I explained that clearly to the
staff, and they understood.Copy !req
57. So the production team
was put on hiatus,Copy !req
58. or really, disbanded.Copy !req
59. Ghibli films are almost
all hand-drawn.Copy !req
60. But the world's changing.Copy !req
61. We can't stop CGI
from taking over animated films.Copy !req
62. It's important to draw
full human beings.Copy !req
63. You're drawing people,
not characters.Copy !req
64. I'm counting on you.Copy !req
65. No, no, no.Copy !req
66. Bundles like this are
cradled in the arm.Copy !req
67. People don't let them hang down.Copy !req
68. That never happens.Copy !req
69. No one runs that way, either.Copy !req
70. They'd at least put a hand down.Copy !req
71. No good.Copy !req
72. Start over.Copy !req
73. Draw it. Think it through.Copy !req
74. Do you live without thinking?Copy !req
75. Do it or you're out!Copy !req
76. Quit now!Copy !req
77. I think it's really over.Copy !req
78. I trained successors.Copy !req
79. But I couldn't let go.
I devoured them.Copy !req
80. I devoured their talent.Copy !req
81. There was no one left
to take over.Copy !req
82. The studio devours people.Copy !req
83. That was my destiny.
I ate them all.Copy !req
84. I don't regret shutting
the studio down.Copy !req
85. You should come here every day.Copy !req
86. It would keep you young.Copy !req
87. - I'm not supposed to drive.
- What?Copy !req
88. My doctor says no more
than an hour.Copy !req
89. It's so limiting.Copy !req
90. It's like all we can do
now is get old.Copy !req
91. - That's right.
- That's it.Copy !req
92. The question is. how will we
end? That's the hard thing.Copy !req
93. Hello! Nice to see you again.Copy !req
94. Whew! I'm worn out.Copy !req
95. Ishii's production companyCopy !req
96. recently showed me some
CGI animation.Copy !req
97. Interesting people.Copy !req
98. Really young!Copy !req
99. Why'd you meet them?Copy !req
100. I'll use CGl to make
a short film.Copy !req
101. CGI! That's surprising!Copy !req
102. So you think CGI's offers
new possibilities?Copy !req
103. No, that's not it.Copy !req
104. I have ideas that I can't
draw by myself.Copy !req
105. This might be a way to do it.Copy !req
106. That's all I hope.Copy !req
107. It's a new genre,
this technology.Copy !req
108. So there's lots of vitality.Copy !req
109. He wants to keep creating
until he dies.Copy !req
110. He said he was retiring, but...Copy !req
111. That just applies to feature
films. He wants to do shorts.Copy !req
112. There's one project left.Copy !req
113. It's called Boro the
Caterpillar.Copy !req
114. Until he finishes that,
he feels incomplete.Copy !req
115. This is Boro.Copy !req
116. This project's so difficult
I don't know where to start.Copy !req
117. I can't draw a
caterpillar with a pencil.Copy !req
118. So I have to turn to CGl.Copy !req
119. Good morning!Copy !req
120. Good morning!Copy !req
121. Shall we start?Copy !req
122. This is our second session.Copy !req
123. Yuhei's in charge of
the characters.Copy !req
124. Let's just show him.Copy !req
125. First, Boro walking.Copy !req
126. Mmm. Interesting.Copy !req
127. You didn't do this by hand,
right?Copy !req
128. No, as far as the
hair's concerned,Copy !req
129. it was all done mathematically.Copy !req
130. It reflects how hair
moves in nature.Copy !req
131. The computer calculates it.Copy !req
132. It accounts for air resistance.Copy !req
133. You can set how strong
the wind blows...Copy !req
134. This hump...Copy !req
135. should start here and flow back.Copy !req
136. I'd like that feeling
to be clearer.Copy !req
137. Caterpillars really
move that way.Copy !req
138. I'd like that emphasized.Copy !req
139. And the head shouldn't
move so much.Copy !req
140. Watch the head and front legs...Copy !req
141. If those legs start to
grab something,Copy !req
142. it'll look completely different.Copy !req
143. I was going to do that.Copy !req
144. Oh, really?Copy !req
145. I think we've got
something here.Copy !req
146. Thank you. You've given me
a lot to think about today.Copy !req
147. I think CGl might work,Copy !req
148. but I have to clarify
the concept.Copy !req
149. - People are the key.
- That's for sure.Copy !req
150. You have to have the
right people.Copy !req
151. So do you think
they're suitable?Copy !req
152. Yes, I think they're good.Copy !req
153. A chance encounter...Copy !req
154. Funny how that works.Copy !req
155. Well...Copy !req
156. Well...Copy !req
157. There's no escape, now!Copy !req
158. New technology makes
it possible.Copy !req
159. So I'm going to try it.Copy !req
160. I don't expect much
to come of it.Copy !req
161. It's exciting to see you
take on a new challenge!Copy !req
162. I don't like the word
"challenge."Copy !req
163. Oh?Copy !req
164. I just trudge along.Copy !req
165. Forward, always forward...Copy !req
166. Good morning!Copy !req
167. You start your new
project today.Copy !req
168. Yes, we start today.Copy !req
169. But at my age, it's tough
to start work again.Copy !req
170. This'll be my desk.Copy !req
171. It's all dusty.Copy !req
172. This is past its season.Copy !req
173. Just looking isn't enough.Copy !req
174. I have to look while imagining
Boro climbing on it.Copy !req
175. Then I might get somewhere.Copy !req
176. I blame Boro for living
in such a bothersome place.Copy !req
177. So interesting...Copy !req
178. What should I look at?Copy !req
179. I just sketch anything that
catches my attention.Copy !req
180. Fortunately,Copy !req
181. Yuhei and his staff
come in later.Copy !req
182. I'll draw something that'll
make them want to quit!Copy !req
183. Since we're doing CGI,Copy !req
184. I want to push them to the
limits of what CGl can do.Copy !req
185. No good. Mmm.Copy !req
186. Who started this stupid project?Copy !req
187. I'm not making a story, yet.
That's too limiting.Copy !req
188. I'm just sketching
what might go in.Copy !req
189. I wish I could draw that
plain background.Copy !req
190. The one you just looked at?Copy !req
191. Yeah.Copy !req
192. Nothing special.
Something everyone's seen.Copy !req
193. That's hard to do?Copy !req
194. My backgrounds were
usually contrived.Copy !req
195. But now I'm attracted
to throw-away backgrounds.Copy !req
196. Maybe it's my age...Copy !req
197. Hello?Copy !req
198. Mmm. Oh, I see.Copy !req
199. Nothing else has been decided?Copy !req
200. Okay. I understand.Copy !req
201. She passed away.Copy !req
202. Fifty years.Copy !req
203. Actually 52 years, we
worked together.Copy !req
204. She was sure she'd live to 93,
but fell short by 20 years.Copy !req
205. Nothing to be done.Copy !req
206. But I can't help wonder why
I wasn't taken first.Copy !req
207. What to make of it?Copy !req
208. People are dying who should
have outlived me.Copy !req
209. What am I doing here?Copy !req
210. Hello!Copy !req
211. Sorry I'm late.Copy !req
212. This here is your problem area.Copy !req
213. It's like a black box, isn't it?Copy !req
214. If you boiled my shoulder,
it wouldn't make a broth.Copy !req
215. Just inky black water.Copy !req
216. Sherlock Holmes would know.Copy !req
217. He'd say, "You're an animator."Copy !req
218. But what do I do with the time
I have left?Copy !req
219. I'm a weak, used-up old man.Copy !req
220. It'd be ridiculous to think
I'll ever regain my youth.Copy !req
221. - Ah, welcome!
- Good morning!Copy !req
222. We're ready.Copy !req
223. This is Yuhei.Copy !req
224. And...Copy !req
225. This is Yukinori.Copy !req
226. Nice to meet you.Copy !req
227. You're all so elite, it
makes me nervous!Copy !req
228. Let's ease into it.Copy !req
229. I want to go slow!Copy !req
230. What's this?Copy !req
231. Beams of light. Wow!Copy !req
232. I'll explain the
basic storyline.Copy !req
233. I'm thinking 100 shots
in 10 minutes.Copy !req
234. A blue dawn before sunrise.
Sparkling air cubes dance down.Copy !req
235. One hits a stem where
Boro lives and shatters.Copy !req
236. There's no sound, no
weight... it's air.Copy !req
237. A crystallized fragment hits an
egg stuck on the stalk.Copy !req
238. The egg cracks open, and
eyes peer out.Copy !req
239. That's the birth of Boro.Copy !req
240. Once we start, it
shouldn't take long.Copy !req
241. There aren't many characters.Copy !req
242. Once we get that, it'll be fast.Copy !req
243. I'd...Copy !req
244. like to experiment with
the caterpillar a little.Copy !req
245. Fascinating.Copy !req
246. Maybe my meddling will ruin it!Copy !req
247. Here's the top view, and
the side view.Copy !req
248. The eyes go here.Copy !req
249. Keep going.Copy !req
250. I've added fingers.Copy !req
251. I thought fingers would give
you more dramatic options.Copy !req
252. Yeah. Give it a try.Copy !req
253. It's so strange.Copy !req
254. Like creating a new virus.Copy !req
255. Hayao likes young people.Copy !req
256. They energize him.Copy !req
257. But what happens to the
young people?Copy !req
258. Working with him ages them.Copy !req
259. Hayao himself, well...Copy !req
260. he absorbs youthful energy
and gets revitalized.Copy !req
261. He'll do that as long
as he lives.Copy !req
262. I'd like to show you something.Copy !req
263. It's still very rough, but...Copy !req
264. Here...Copy !req
265. I'd like to see this go higher,
like this.Copy !req
266. It starts here, and bulges up,
then down.Copy !req
267. Make the top point clearer.Copy !req
268. Can I use this to draw?Copy !req
269. The hump starts here...Copy !req
270. and ripples up...Copy !req
271. to a peak.Copy !req
272. It's okay for it to be
generated quickly.Copy !req
273. Then ripple up to a clear peak.Copy !req
274. Now, about the feet...Copy !req
275. How about this?Copy !req
276. Can they go this way?Copy !req
277. Ah, we can do that.Copy !req
278. They should look busy.Copy !req
279. Let's go a little deeper.
Keep at it!Copy !req
280. That's all.Copy !req
281. Thank you.Copy !req
282. No, don't thank me.Copy !req
283. I should thank you.Copy !req
284. It feels like we're making
a film. I'm excited!Copy !req
285. My heart's racing.Copy !req
286. Pitter-pat, pitter-pat!Copy !req
287. I have to draw on paper
to understand.Copy !req
288. Excuse me.Copy !req
289. The onion's waiting, see?Copy !req
290. You're making ramen?Copy !req
291. Things are not going well.Copy !req
292. How do we move forward?Copy !req
293. That's the question.Copy !req
294. Well...Copy !req
295. It'll work out somehow.Copy !req
296. I have to show them a layout.Copy !req
297. There.Copy !req
298. I think that CGl animatorsCopy !req
299. focus on external movement
but ignore motivation.Copy !req
300. Movement isn't neutral.Copy !req
301. It has intent.
That's what makes muscles move.Copy !req
302. Oh, no! I can't stop myself!Copy !req
303. This is amazing!Copy !req
304. With this much detail, we
can't ignore it.Copy !req
305. That's for sure.Copy !req
306. I'm sure he's trying to help us.Copy !req
307. That's why he made such
detailed drawings.Copy !req
308. Might be faster to
draw by hand...Copy !req
309. You're 100 times more
energetic than last year.Copy !req
310. Don't be silly.Copy !req
311. I'm not healthy at all.Copy !req
312. No, I'm sure of it.
That look in your eyes...Copy !req
313. I'll have to work my whole life!Copy !req
314. I'm sure you're energetic.Copy !req
315. - Work keeps you going.
- Don't say that!Copy !req
316. Your eyes burn with purpose!Copy !req
317. I qualify as an old, old man.Copy !req
318. Near the end of my life!Copy !req
319. - Who says so?
- I do.Copy !req
320. Call it my final gasp!Copy !req
321. - It's so quiet.
- Yeah.Copy !req
322. How many times have I done this?Copy !req
323. Here.Copy !req
324. The site of photosynthesis.Copy !req
325. It needs something more.Copy !req
326. Maybe a little hair...Copy !req
327. I recently read a book
that really shook me up.Copy !req
328. I questioned my
decision to retire.Copy !req
329. You had an intense
encounter with a book?Copy !req
330. Yeah.
I read it avidly many times.Copy !req
331. It showed me a different way to
interpret and portray the world.Copy !req
332. I thought, I still
have something.Copy !req
333. Like doing another feature film?Copy !req
334. No, that's different.Copy !req
335. That's not so easy to do.Copy !req
336. If it were, I'd still work.Copy !req
337. My physical and mental
drive are failing.Copy !req
338. I really feel it.Copy !req
339. Well...Copy !req
340. It's best for me to
recognize that.Copy !req
341. - Oh?
- Yes, it's true.Copy !req
342. I went for my
driving review testCopy !req
343. and stood in line with
lots of people my age.Copy !req
344. I realized I'm really a geezer!Copy !req
345. Here. See?Copy !req
346. This is how they looked.Copy !req
347. It was shocking.Copy !req
348. An old man shocked by old men.Copy !req
349. - Yes?
- May I show you something?Copy !req
350. What is it?Copy !req
351. We added some movement.Copy !req
352. The turning motion's
too adult-like.Copy !req
353. I mean...Copy !req
354. Babies don't turn their
heads so sharply.Copy !req
355. More like this. Right?Copy !req
356. Newborns aren't so nimble.Copy !req
357. How can I explain...?Copy !req
358. Basically, babies are clueless.Copy !req
359. It's all a matter of culture.Copy !req
360. So difficult!Copy !req
361. It doesn't bring my
layout to life.Copy !req
362. No...Copy !req
363. I don't know why.Copy !req
364. I did such a detailed layout
because I don't trust them.Copy !req
365. But I want them to create
something even better.Copy !req
366. What Hayao wants is a
copy of himself.Copy !req
367. But he can't expect that.Copy !req
368. He said it many times:
"I want another me."Copy !req
369. CGl is difficult.
It's no magic box.Copy !req
370. This could really be awful.
I realized that today.Copy !req
371. Maybe I should shut it down.Copy !req
372. All my work over decades
could be for nothing.Copy !req
373. But how hard should I fight?Copy !req
374. I set this battle up myself.Copy !req
375. But...Copy !req
376. we've had no bloodshed... yet!Copy !req
377. I feel like all of my effort's
been for nothing.Copy !req
378. This isn't it...Copy !req
379. What a hassle!Copy !req
380. Ah, such a hassle!Copy !req
381. A real hassle!Copy !req
382. I must battle my desire to
avoid a hassle.Copy !req
383. All important things in the
world are a hassle.Copy !req
384. I don't want to
embarrass myself.Copy !req
385. That much I know for sure.Copy !req
386. - Good morning!
- Ah, good morning!Copy !req
387. Is Toshio free after this?Copy !req
388. You need to see him?Copy !req
389. Please wait just a moment...Copy !req
390. He'd like to talk to you.Copy !req
391. - OK?
- Yes. Come in.Copy !req
392. I've been watchingCopy !req
393. the animators work for a while,
now.Copy !req
394. I think we have to
change course.Copy !req
395. I was afraid of that.Copy !req
396. I don't know how to do it,
but...Copy !req
397. They should do a more
finished first scene.Copy !req
398. Trial and error.Copy !req
399. It's such a hassle.Copy !req
400. A real hassle!Copy !req
401. - Not going according to plan...
- No.Copy !req
402. It's never-ending!Copy !req
403. - It can't be helped.
- Should we quit?Copy !req
404. That might be best.Copy !req
405. That's how you feel, huh?Copy !req
406. I can't show this to the public.Copy !req
407. Can you get what you need
from your staff?Copy !req
408. I don't know.Copy !req
409. I can't sleep!Copy !req
410. May I have your attention?Copy !req
411. I have something to say.
Gather around.Copy !req
412. Could you bring chairs?Copy !req
413. We have to make something
we're proud of.Copy !req
414. A film that'll amaze people.Copy !req
415. Really.Copy !req
416. So, we'll try it this way.Copy !req
417. Hmm. This'll be hard.Copy !req
418. Can I see the first scene?Copy !req
419. Click here.Copy !req
420. Touch this to move it.Copy !req
421. I see.Copy !req
422. Is this a good size for you?Copy !req
423. Ah, too much trouble!
I'll stop for now.Copy !req
424. See how the hair sticks out?Copy !req
425. It's charming, but too
small to see.Copy !req
426. So...Copy !req
427. we extend it...Copy !req
428. or maybe like this...Copy !req
429. Springing out?Copy !req
430. Boing, boing, boing.Copy !req
431. We've got to start over
and get through somehow.Copy !req
432. It's a film... we
can't abandon it.Copy !req
433. I'd hate to complain about CGl
the rest of my life.Copy !req
434. I want to get to a place
where I'm glad we did this.Copy !req
435. Give it expression...Copy !req
436. I reached for paper!Copy !req
437. Huh?Copy !req
438. What...? Eraser.Copy !req
439. I wanted the eraser.Copy !req
440. Huh? It moves!Copy !req
441. Fascinating!Copy !req
442. Hey! They're multiplying!Copy !req
443. I'm pretty sure
I'll never get the hang of this.Copy !req
444. I just thought there
was a problem.Copy !req
445. Okay. Then.Copy !req
446. All yours. Okay?Copy !req
447. Mt. Fuji's hidden in clouds.Copy !req
448. Unless I show them how
I want it done,Copy !req
449. I have no cause to be angry,
do I?Copy !req
450. I took this ordeal upon myself,
after all.Copy !req
451. Ordeal?Copy !req
452. It's an ordeal. A huge one.Copy !req
453. This one's the hardest.Copy !req
454. It has to be right.
It starts the film.Copy !req
455. I have to add a lot to the CGl,
with a pencil.Copy !req
456. We start with the CGl,Copy !req
457. and I overlay it with
hand drawing.Copy !req
458. Otherwise. I don't get
the right image.Copy !req
459. I wonder if this is the
right approach.Copy !req
460. But I don't know any other way.Copy !req
461. This is hard. And mortifying.Copy !req
462. I don't know what to do.Copy !req
463. It's terrible.Copy !req
464. It's terrible. And I
don't know why.Copy !req
465. He's distressed that his
magic power isn't working.Copy !req
466. This might mean true retirement.Copy !req
467. That's why he's agonizing.Copy !req
468. A slow day today?Copy !req
469. Some were out late last night.Copy !req
470. And some went to the Star
Wars screening.Copy !req
471. It's nice and quiet.Copy !req
472. Our world here is entirely
different from Star Wars.Copy !req
473. They'll all be bowled overCopy !req
474. and want to do Star Wars,
not a caterpillar.Copy !req
475. What!Copy !req
476. When I'm tired, my
pencil escapes.Copy !req
477. Come back here!Copy !req
478. Let's have some coffee.Copy !req
479. I can't get excited like I did
in my 30s and 40s.Copy !req
480. Something's different.Copy !req
481. So what motivates you?Copy !req
482. It's boring to do nothing.Copy !req
483. It's as simple as that.Copy !req
484. I'm not being nihilistic.Copy !req
485. All old directorsCopy !req
486. say they'd rather make films
than do anything else.Copy !req
487. But...Copy !req
488. I don't want to make crap.Copy !req
489. I want to go somewhere new.Copy !req
490. For me, it's not
about the story.Copy !req
491. One shot tells me
whether a film's great or not.Copy !req
492. That's the essence of film.Copy !req
493. Look at the goats!Copy !req
494. So cute!Copy !req
495. I finally solved it.Copy !req
496. The puzzle.Copy !req
497. There's no sign of
other creatures.Copy !req
498. Let's add some.Copy !req
499. Let's put in "night fish."Copy !req
500. These, moving weirdly.
What do you think?Copy !req
501. I hog all the
interesting things.Copy !req
502. Let's break out of this!Copy !req
503. We've been constipated too long!Copy !req
504. All right, now!Copy !req
505. Let's do it!Copy !req
506. Once a film's been completed,Copy !req
507. it's crucial
that I don't feel ashamed of it.Copy !req
508. I never want to regret
not trying something.Copy !req
509. It's better to try and fail.Copy !req
510. I believe that.Copy !req
511. I really do.Copy !req
512. I don't want people to
see they're fish.Copy !req
513. They should be mysterious.Copy !req
514. My films show the
world's beauty.Copy !req
515. Beauty otherwise unnoticed.Copy !req
516. That's what I want to see.Copy !req
517. The small fish suddenly scatter.
Will that work?Copy !req
518. Ah, the frogs are croaking.Copy !req
519. They're croaking
despite the cold.Copy !req
520. It's tadpole season.Copy !req
521. It's going well,
don't you think?Copy !req
522. Yes, indeed.Copy !req
523. It'll be all right.Copy !req
524. What a bustling world!Copy !req
525. Full of strange wonder.Copy !req
526. No one will notice that
Boro's hair is moving.Copy !req
527. Except young kids.Copy !req
528. I've certainly never seen
anything like it before!Copy !req
529. It's not over.Copy !req
530. The question is,
what's best for these times?Copy !req
531. There must be something
people yearn to see.Copy !req
532. What is it?Copy !req
533. Are you thinking about
a feature film?Copy !req
534. Well...Copy !req
535. It would be great if I could,
but I wouldn't make it through.Copy !req
536. It's not easy to make a
feature film.Copy !req
537. One shouldn't undertake it
lightly, just for fun.Copy !req
538. It's a hard road. I can't leave
people in the lurch.Copy !req
539. What if I have a heart attack?Copy !req
540. Really.Copy !req
541. I've never thought I'd
make lots of films.Copy !req
542. Just making one is something
to be grateful for.Copy !req
543. I've been blessed in many ways.Copy !req
544. My wife told me I've
been really lucky.Copy !req
545. And it's true.Copy !req
546. We never thought our films
would be popular.Copy !req
547. We accepted that.Copy !req
548. We just made what we wanted.Copy !req
549. But that's why we survived.Copy !req
550. I see that in hindsight.Copy !req
551. If we'd tried to please,
we'd be long forgotten.Copy !req
552. Good morning!Copy !req
553. Wait... I'll make some coffee.Copy !req
554. We've just been talking
informally about it...Copy !req
555. So what's this about?Copy !req
556. Our company's been quietly
researching CGI.Copy !req
557. There's something called
"deep learning" in Al.Copy !req
558. We think that computers will be
able to paint like humansCopy !req
559. five to ten years from now.Copy !req
560. If they do that, we
won't need humans.Copy !req
561. I'll meet them in the
conference room.Copy !req
562. I didn't expect so many!Copy !req
563. - It grew.
- I expected three!Copy !req
564. It just grew.Copy !req
565. You'll show us on that?Copy !req
566. Yes. Shall we start?Copy !req
567. Lots of places have started
using AI for image processing.Copy !req
568. We'd like to show
you what we do.Copy !req
569. We taught the program
to speed up the image.Copy !req
570. It uses the head to move.Copy !req
571. No sense of pain, no idea that
the head is important.Copy !req
572. It uses the head as if it were
just an ordinary leg.Copy !req
573. It's creepy, and might be good
in a zombie game.Copy !req
574. Using artificial intelligenceCopy !req
575. enables a kind of horror
beyond human imagination.Copy !req
576. That's what we're doing.Copy !req
577. Let me just say...Copy !req
578. Every morning, I used to seeCopy !req
579. a friend who's disabled.Copy !req
580. He would walk up to me.Copy !req
581. One leg's turned outward,
so it's hard for him to walk.Copy !req
582. Even a high-five is
hard for him.Copy !req
583. His stiff hand and mine touch.Copy !req
584. I think of him, and can't
say I like this.Copy !req
585. Whoever made it gives no
thought to pain.Copy !req
586. It's very unpleasant.Copy !req
587. You can make horrible
things if you want,Copy !req
588. but I want nothing
to do with it.Copy !req
589. It's an awful insult to life.Copy !req
590. This is all experimental.Copy !req
591. I understand that.Copy !req
592. It's not something we'd
show publicly.Copy !req
593. I understand completely.Copy !req
594. What's your ultimate goal?Copy !req
595. A machine that draws pictures
like people do.Copy !req
596. You want to make that?Copy !req
597. Yes.Copy !req
598. I fear the world's end is near.Copy !req
599. Humans have lost confidence.Copy !req
600. Hand drawing's the only answer.Copy !req
601. I won't run from it anymore.Copy !req
602. It takes tremendous patience.Copy !req
603. It's a lot of work.
Really exhausting.Copy !req
604. What have I done?Copy !req
605. Pretty creepy.Copy !req
606. Amazing!Copy !req
607. Good morning!Copy !req
608. - He's still with us!
- Sorry!Copy !req
609. Even in secret talks.Copy !req
610. Shall we do it?Copy !req
611. What?Copy !req
612. - A feature film.
- Well...Copy !req
613. It would have to be a
frontal attack.Copy !req
614. I would all be hand-drawn.Copy !req
615. - Who would do it?
- We'd gather the staff.Copy !req
616. And recruit new people.Copy !req
617. There aren't any new people.Copy !req
618. It's decided, then.Copy !req
619. I wrote something up.Copy !req
620. Just three years.
That's all we have.Copy !req
621. Done before the Olympics.Copy !req
622. So 2019.Copy !req
623. If we start right now,
that's half a year.Copy !req
624. Use whatever alchemy you needCopy !req
625. to raise the money.Copy !req
626. But imagine this:Copy !req
627. you die right after
finishing the storyboards.Copy !req
628. That would be a big hit!Copy !req
629. What? I have to die?Copy !req
630. Without seeing it done.Copy !req
631. Being the work of a retiree,Copy !req
632. it'll have to feel like it
had to be made.Copy !req
633. I insisted no more was needed,
after all.Copy !req
634. I don't know, but it'll
be something new.Copy !req
635. A place I'd never been before.Copy !req
636. What kind of place?
Can you describe it?Copy !req
637. I don't know.Copy !req
638. It won't go into words, yet.Copy !req
639. But it'll touch new territory.Copy !req
640. It'll be a troublesome old age!Copy !req
641. Hey there!Copy !req
642. - Hello.
- Hello.Copy !req
643. - Hello.
- Hello.Copy !req
644. Have some.Copy !req
645. Two today!Copy !req
646. Two? Okay, go ahead.Copy !req
647. Green.Copy !req
648. All right.Copy !req
649. Thank you!Copy !req
650. I'll open it.Copy !req
651. You have to push.Copy !req
652. Thank you!Copy !req
653. Did you hear that Michiyo died?Copy !req
654. Dropped dead, suddenly.Copy !req
655. After starting chemo, she
suffered a lot.Copy !req
656. She always said I should
do another film.Copy !req
657. I said, "I will if you will."Copy !req
658. She didn't answer.Copy !req
659. But she didn't say no!Copy !req
660. I wanted her help on
the basic stuff.Copy !req
661. It can't be helped.Copy !req
662. But...Copy !req
663. I kept saying that all
day yesterday.Copy !req
664. Can't be helped...Copy !req
665. Does it give you doubts
about the new film?Copy !req
666. It doesn't matter.Copy !req
667. It's an extremely
difficult project.Copy !req
668. It always is.Copy !req
669. No need to flinch at
every setback.Copy !req
670. Ah. It's a heavy blow.Copy !req
671. Are those your new storyboards?Copy !req
672. Yeah.Copy !req
673. I'll know if I should continue
after I make 100 or so.Copy !req
674. It's difficult!Copy !req
675. Difficult.Copy !req
676. I haven't told my wife.Copy !req
677. When I do. I'll ask her
to understand.Copy !req
678. I'm prepared to die
before it's finished.Copy !req
679. I'd rather die that way
than die while doing nothing.Copy !req
680. To die with something
to live for.Copy !req
