Spirited Away Page #3

Synopsis: Chihiro and her parents are moving to a small Japanese town in the countryside, much to Chihiro's dismay. On the way to their new home, Chihiro's father makes a wrong turn and drives down a lonely one-lane road which dead-ends in front of a tunnel. Her parents decide to stop the car and explore the area. They go through the tunnel and find an abandoned amusement park on the other side, with its own little town. When her parents see a restaurant with great-smelling food but no staff, they decide to eat and pay later. However, Chihiro refuses to eat and decides to explore the theme park a bit more. She meets a boy named Haku who tells her that Chihiro and her parents are in danger, and they must leave immediately. She runs to the restaurant and finds that her parents have turned into pigs.

Your parents had some nerve!

Gobbling our guests'

food like pigs!

Just desserts, I'd say

And you'll never see...

your world again either

You'd make a lovely piglet

Or maybe a lump of coal

I see you're trembling

Actually, I'm impressed

you made it this far

Someone must've helped you

I must thank your friend

Just who was it, my dear?

You can tell me

Please let me work here!

Not that again!

I want to work here!

Shut Up!

Why should I hire you?

Anyone can see you're

a lazy, spoiled, crybaby

Stupid to boot

I've nothing for you

Forget it

I've got all the bums

I need around here

Or maybe you'd like the worst,

nastiest job I've got,

until you breathe

your very last breath?!

Stop that!

What's wrong...

I'll be right there

That's a good baby, now

What? You still here!

Get out!

I want to work here!

Don't shout

I'll be right there...

That's a good baby,

there, there

Please let me work!

OK, OK, just pipe down

There, there, now

Your contract

Sign your name

I'll put you to work

But one peep out of you

about anything,

and I'll turn you

right into a piglet!

Um, I sign my name here?

That's right

Quit dilly-dallying and do it

Unbelievable

That ridiculous oath I took

To give work to whoever asks

Signed it?

Yes

You're Chihiro, huh?

Yes

What an extravagant name

From now on, you'll be Sen

You got that? You're Sen

Answer me, Sen!

Yes...

Did you call?

This child's starting work as of now

Look after her

Yes

Your name?

What?

Chi... Oh, I'm Sen

Follow me, then, Sen

Haku... Um...

No idle chatter

Call me Master Haku

Even on Yubaba's orders...

We can't allow humans

Her contract's signed

What...?

Thank you, everyone

Don't send her to us

Can't bear that human stink

Three days of eating our food

and her smell will vanish

If she's still useless then, fry her,

boil her, do with her as you will

Back to work!

Where's Lin?

Don't dump her on me!

You wanted help

That's right, Lin's just perfect

Go, Sen

Yes sir

What a pain

You're gonna pay for this

Off you go!

C'mon

So you pulled it off, huh?!

You're so thick,

I was worried

Keep your wits, now

If you need something, ask me, OK?

What's wrong

I'm dizzy

So this is our room

Chow, then bed,

you'll be fine

You wash your own apron!

Trousers!

You're so puny

Too big...

Um, Lin...

What?

Are there two Hakus here?

Two?!

Of him? I sure hope not

Still too big

He's Yubaba's henchman

Watch out for him

Where the...

Here it is

What's wrong?

Are you OK?

What's all the fuss, Lin?

New girl

Says she feels faint

Meet me at the bridge

I'll show you your mother and father

My shoes...

Thank you

Follow me

Daddy, Mommy, it's me!

It's Sen

Hayao Miyazaki

Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎 駿, Miyazaki Hayao, born January 5, 1941) is a Japanese film director, producer, screenwriter, animator, author, and manga artist. A co-founder of Studio Ghibli, a film and animation studio, he has attained international acclaim as a masterful storyteller and as a maker of anime feature films, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest animation directors. Born in Bunkyō Ward of Tokyo, Miyazaki expressed interest in manga and animation from an early age, and he joined Toei Animation in 1963. During his early years at Toei Animation he worked as an in-between artist and later collaborated with director Isao Takahata. Notable films to which Miyazaki contributed at Toei include Doggie March and Gulliver's Travels Beyond the Moon. He provided key animation to other films at Toei, such as Puss in Boots and Animal Treasure Island, before moving to A-Pro in 1971, where he co-directed Lupin the Third Part I alongside Takahata. After moving to Zuiyō Eizō (later known as Nippon Animation) in 1973, Miyazaki worked as an animator on World Masterpiece Theater, and directed the television series Future Boy Conan. He joined Telecom Animation Film/Tokyo Movie Shinsha in 1979 to direct his first feature films, The Castle of Cagliostro in 1979 and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind in 1984, as well as the television series Sherlock Hound. Miyazaki co-founded Studio Ghibli in 1985. He directed multiple films with Ghibli, including Castle in the Sky in 1986, My Neighbor Totoro in 1988, Kiki's Delivery Service in 1989, and Porco Rosso in 1992. The films were met with commercial and critical success in Japan. Miyazaki's film Princess Mononoke was the first animated film to win the Japan Academy Prize for Picture of the Year, and briefly became the highest-grossing film in Japan following its release in 1997; its distribution to the Western world greatly increased Ghibli's popularity and influence outside Japan. His 2001 film Spirited Away became the highest-grossing film in Japanese history, winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature at the 75th Academy Awards and considered among the greatest films of the decade. Miyazaki's later films—Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo, and The Wind Rises—also enjoyed critical and commercial success. Following the release of The Wind Rises, Miyazaki announced his retirement from feature films, though he returned to work on a new feature film in 2016. Miyazaki's works are characterized by the recurrence of themes such as humanity's relationship with nature and technology, the wholesomeness of natural and traditional patterns of living, the importance of art and craftsmanship, and the difficulty of maintaining a pacifist ethic in a violent world. The protagonists of his films are often strong girls or young women, and several of his films present morally ambiguous antagonists with redeeming qualities. Miyazaki's works have been highly praised and awarded; he was named a Person of Cultural Merit for outstanding cultural contributions in November 2012, and received the Academy Honorary Award for his impact on animation and cinema in November 2014. In 2002, American film critic Roger Ebert suggested that Miyazaki may be the best animation filmmaker in history, praising the depth and artistry of his films. more…
