It is Miyazaki's firm encouragement for us to persevere. If this is, in fact, a swan song, then it is dazzling because no one has the ability to distill elemental truths into vividly rendered moving paintings like Miyazaki.

The film could be read many ways, but fundamentally, it plays like a heartfelt depiction of resilience in the face of conflict and grief, a gentle call to find friends and trusted allies, to move forward and bring humanity and understanding to the world.

If this is indeed his final film, this time for real, what a way for Miyazaki to launch into retirement, with a swan song so personal, artful and ultimately timeless.
