高畑醺给近藤喜文的悼词
Eulogy
Kondo Yoshifumi San, you passed away so suddenly. I can not accept such an injustice. We haven't gotten used to the reality of it yet. When I saw your desk, Kon-Chan, I just felt that you happen to be away, and that you'll be sitting there tomorrow as usual.
Still, it's true that you are not coming back any more, so we must mourn you.
Kondo Yoshifumi San, you had a rare talent. You were a great animator, character designer, and supervising animator. You have left many accomplishments, and was highly acclaimed for your direction in "Whisper of the Heart" and "Sorairo no Tane".
Kon-Chan, you used to remember the Don Gabacho's song in "Hyokkori Houtanjima" as "Even if today was no good, we still have tomorrow", changing it into something more positive, from the original "If today is no good, we'll do it tomorrow". I used it in "Only Yesterday". You always wanted to be positive, and on the side of social justice.
At the studio, you were beginning to assume a position of leading the entire staff members as a senior member.
We have many people here who admire such a personality of yours and your works. Many young people have been inspired by your works and chosen this profession. But you were still 47. It shouldn't have been the age to reflect. There are many things you wanted or had to do, in your life and work. Why did the things turn out this way? Everyone is vexed and can not help but feel sorry, but, you must be the one who feels the regret most.
Let me speak of personal matters. Selfishly, all the memories came back to me when I heard that you collapsed on the 26th of last month (ed: December, 1997). How much I have depended on you. How much you have helped me. If it were not for your great talent, huge efforts, and hard working, and before that, if you had not decided to work with me, there wouldn't have been "Grave of Fireflies" or "Only Yesterday".
I noticed you, Kon-Chan, when you did a scene in "Panda Kopanda, Rainy Circus", where characters had the breakfast on the roof in the morning after the flood. It was so care-free, lively, and shining. You were still 22 years old. You became better and better in a short time, and after you did such great work for "Future Boy Conan", I asked you to work as a character designer and supervising animator. That was when you were 28 years old.
We went to the Prince Edward Island together location hunting (ed: for "Anne of Green Gables"). Many photograph books about the island have been published these days, but they don't have a picture of the Driad's (sp?) Spring, which we saw and scooped the water with our own hands - we said so and grinned to each other - when was it? You came to my house, and we went through many trial-and-errors in character design. We discarded the sweet girl design which embodied your love for Anne, and finally decided on a skinny, large-eyed, almost skeleton-like Anne. But as the story progressed, the skinny Anne grew up amazingly to be a cheerful and beautiful young woman with class, as written in the original novel. It was very much like your sophisticated character, Kon-Chan. Your characters such as Anne and Setsuko in "Grave of the Fireflies" strongly influenced the anime characters afterward. I think that you must have been very proud of it, though you never mentioned anything.
The picture with a feeling, the movement with a feeling, and the person who can draw such a picture - Kon-Chan was such a person for me. Every time I challenged a new task, I trusted your talent, depended on it, and pulled you into the long hard journey, selfishly believing that it would make your talent flourish at the same time, and that you would get a joy and pride from such a work eventually. When I think that such hard work might have shortened your life, I don't know what to do.
When you were young, Kon-Chan, you were so skinny. You didn't speak much, didn't eat much, and you were calm. But your animation was so lively. You suffered from some serious illness, but you looked healthier these days. Although you were still calm, you began to speak more, and yet, you listened to others well. And you were looking for your own new way in the work, and you were about to step on the new road.
You loved your work, and even after the operation, you worried about the work, till the end. When I think of your regrets, I can not possibly find a word to send you off.
Kon-Chan, I truly thank you for your great work. I am sure that your work will continue to live, be loved by people, and influence people.

近藤喜文先生,你的离去是如此的突然,使我根本无法接受这样的不公。我们至今还没有接受这一事实。当我看到你的办公桌,Kon-Chan,我觉得你只是恰好离开,而明天就会同往常一样坐在那里。
然而,你是真的离我们远去,再也不会回来了。所以我们必须来悼念你。
近藤喜文先生,你拥有杰出的天赋。你是一名伟大的动画绘制者、角色设定者及监督,留下了许多了不起的成就,正如你在《侧耳倾听》和广告《天空色的种子》中受到过高度赞扬的指导工作。
Kon-Chan,《Hyokkori Houtanjima》的葫芦孤岛漂流记之歌中有一句“如果今天不行,我们就明天再做”,而你过去总是把它记成更积极的“即使今天不行,我们仍然拥有明天”。我在《回忆点点滴滴》中引用了它。你总是希望自己能变得更为积极,并且总是站在社会公正的一边。
在工作室,作为一个资深的成员,你才刚刚开始承担起领导所有成员的职位。
这里有许多人都深深地钦佩你的人格及才智,更有许多年轻人被你的作品所激励而选择了这一行作为他们的职业。而你也仅仅只有47岁。这不应该是你离去的年纪。无论是你的生活还是工作中你都还有许多想做或需要做的事,为什么结果会变成这个样子呢?我们每个人都怀着难以抑制的痛苦和悲伤,但你自己才是最应该感到悲痛和惋惜的那一个人。
让我从个人的角度,向你诉说我会如此悲伤的原因吧。自私地说,直到上个月的26日(注:1997年12月26日)噩耗传到我耳中时,所有的回忆才一起涌上心头。我曾经是那么地依赖你,你又曾经帮助过我那么多。如果不是你伟大的天赋、巨大的努力和辛勤的工作,以及如果你在此之前没有决定和我一起工作,那也就永远不会有《萤火虫之墓》和《回忆点点滴滴》的存在了。
Kon-Chan,早在你为《熊猫熊猫:雨天杂耍》制作镜头时,我就注意到了你。洪水过后的早晨,人们在屋顶共进早餐。做出如此无拘无束、活泼而明亮的镜头的你,当时只有22岁。在很短的时间里你做的越来越好,而在你为《未来少年柯南》做出了大量贡献后,我邀请你作为角色设定及动画制作监督与我共事。而那是你28岁时的事情了。
我们曾经一起去爱德华王子岛为《绿色屋顶之家的安妮》寻找外景地。这些天来很多关于那个小岛的图集大量出版,但是里面一张关于树精泉的都没有。是的,就是我们用自己的手舀出泉水,又在泉边相视而笑的地方,那是什么时候的事情了?你来我家和我一起做不计其数的角色设定差错试验,我们放弃了那个完全体现了你对安妮的喜爱的甜美女孩形象,而最后确定了一个大眼睛、苗条得近乎骨瘦如柴的安妮。但随着故事的开展,瘦小的安妮逐渐长成了一名惊艳、迷人、风度翩翩的美貌女子,正如原著里所写的那样。这也非常符合你不落俗套的性格,Kon-Chan。你的主人公们——比如安妮以及《萤火虫之墓》中的节子——深深地影响了后来的人物形象。我猜对此你一定非常自豪,虽然你从来没有提起过任何事。
饱含深情的画面,饱含深情的动作,而能画出这样的画的人——对我来说Kon-Chan就是这么一个人。每一次我向新的任务发起挑战时,我总是相信并依赖于你的天赋,把你推入长而艰辛的旅程,自私地相信这同时也会是你施展才能的机会,并且最终你能从这样的工作中得到快乐和荣耀。每当我想起如此艰难的工作有可能会缩短你的生命时,我真的不知如何是好。
当你年轻的时候,Kon-Chan,你是那么瘦。你不太说话,吃的不多,也非常冷静。但你的动画是如此充满活力与生机。你一直为病痛所折磨,但这些天你看上去好了许多。虽然你还是那么冷静,但你说得比从前更多,也更耐心地听他人说话。在工作上你开始寻找新的方式,并且已经开始走上新的道路。
你如此热爱工作,甚至在手术之后,你还一直挂念着你的工作,直到离开。当我想起你留下的遗憾时,我甚至找不到一句可以安慰你的话。
Kon-Chan,我真诚地感激你伟大的工作。我确信你的作品会永远活下去,影响着人们,并且为人所爱戴。 |
