But it wasn't a dream.

464

01:
01:52,197 -- 01:01:53,189

It was a dream.

465

01:
01:53,190 -- 01:01:54,561

But it wasn't a dream.

466

01:
01:54,562 -- 01:01:57,760

We did it! We did it!

467

01:
02:14,100 -- 01:02:17,350

Kusakabe-san!

Telegram!

468

01:
02:18,230 -- 01:02:19,830

Kusakabe-san!

469

01:
02:20,690 -- 01:02:22,810

It's a telegram.

470

01:
02:24,070 -- 01:02:25,770

Nobody home?

471

01:
02:32,540 -- 01:02:35,030

Granny?

472

01:
02:38,960 -- 01:02:40,680

Over here.

473

01:
02:42,340 -- 01:02:44,670

This one's ready to eat.

474

01:
02:53,640 -- 01:02:55,189

Granny, how about this one?

475

01:
02:55,190 -- 01:02:56,640

It's ripe.

476

01:
03:02,860 -- 01:03:06,310

Granny's garden is like a treasure-hill.

477

01:
03:06,740 -- 01:03:09,380

Say, let's take a little rest...

478

01:
03:15,210 -- 01:03:18,180

They're nice and cold.

479

01:
03:18,340 -- 01:03:20,030

Let's eat!

480

01:
03:29,470 -- 01:03:30,889

It's delicious.

481

01:
03:30,890 -- 01:03:37,059

The sun blessed these,

so they're really good for you.

482

01:
03:37,060 -- 01:03:39,059

For mother's sickness, too?

483

01:
03:39,060 -- 01:03:40,519

Of course.

484

01:
03:40,520 -- 01:03:44,439

If you eat Granny's vegetables,

you'll get real healthy fast.

485

01:
03:44,440 -- 01:03:47,199

Mother's coming home this Saturday.

486

01:
03:47,200 -- 01:03:49,900

She will sleep with me.

487

01:
03:49,950 -- 01:03:52,909

So she's finally leaving the hospital.

488

01:
03:52,910 -- 01:03:53,949

Uh-uh.

489

01:
03:53,950 -- 01:03:57,829

It's not for good.

She'll return to the hospital on Monday.

490

01:
03:57,830 -- 01:03:59,749

It seems they're going to release her gradually.

491

01:
03:59,750 -- 01:04:01,215

I see.

492

01:
04:01,216 -- 01:04:03,959

Then we're going to have to

get her to eat more and more.

493

01:
04:03,960 -- 01:04:07,540

The corn I picked, I will give to Mother.

494

01:
04:07,760 -- 01:04:09,969

I'm sure she'll be very pleased.

495

01:
04:09,970 -- 01:04:11,250

I know.

496

01:
04:19,020 -- 01:04:19,859

A telegram.

497

01:
04:19,860 -- 01:04:21,269

Nobody was home

so we accepted it for you.

498

01:
04:21,270 -- 01:04:22,410

For us?

499

01:
04:26,360 -- 01:04:29,239

Granny, Father won't be home until evening.

500

01:
04:29,240 -- 01:04:32,360

Open it, it might be important.

501

01:
04:35,700 -- 01:04:39,829

Please contact Shichikokuyama...

502

01:
04:39,830 -- 01:04:42,984

Shichikokuyama, it's from Mom's hospital!

503

01:
04:42,985 -- 01:04:45,220

Something's happened to her!

504

01:
04:47,170 -- 01:04:49,379

Granny! What shall I do?

505

01:
04:49,380 -- 01:04:53,559

Calm down. Do you know where your father is?

506

01:
04:53,560 -- 01:04:55,606

I know his office number,

507

01:
04:55,607 -- 01:04:56,929

but we don't have a telephone.

508

01:
04:56,930 -- 01:05:01,510

Kanta, take her to use the phone

in the main house!

509

01:
05:06,320 -- 01:05:09,200

Mei-chan, stay here with me!

510

01:
05:18,410 -- 01:05:20,550

Mei, you stay with Granny!

511

01:
05:58,070 -- 01:06:00,600

Hello, long distance please.

512

01:
06:01,460 -- 01:06:05,539

It's Tokyo 31-1382.

513

01:
06:05,540 -- 01:06:06,500

Yes.

514

01:
06:07,830 -- 01:06:11,410

Isn't she cute, Kanta?

515

01:
06:13,340 -- 01:06:15,680

Hello? Yes?

516

01:
06:16,960 -- 01:06:19,339

Hello, is this the Kokogaku Research Department?

517

01:
06:19,340 -- 01:06:22,420

Father, I mean, Kusakabe please.

518

01:
06:22,680 -- 01:06:24,309

This is Kusakabe Satsuki.

519

01:
06:24,310 -- 01:06:25,500

Yes.

520

01:
06:28,440 -- 01:06:30,820

Oh Father, it's Satsuki.

521

01:
06:30,940 -- 01:06:32,550

Yes, what is it?

522

01:
06:35,650 -- 01:06:36,519

From the hospital?

523

01:
06:36,520 -- 01:06:39,689

Okay, I'll call them right away.

524

01:
06:39,690 -- 01:06:41,199

Did something happen to Mother?

525

01:
06:41,200 -- 01:06:42,569

What shall I do, Father?

526

01:
06:42,570 -- 01:06:43,819

Don't worry.

527

01:
06:43,820 -- 01:06:47,039

As soon as I find out what it's all about, I'll call you.

528

01:
06:47,040 -- 01:06:49,150

Ask them to let you wait there.

529

01:
06:50,580 -- 01:06:52,420

I'm hanging up now, stay there.

530

01:
06:54,580 -- 01:06:56,714

Granny, may I wait here?

531

01:
06:56,715 -- 01:06:58,669

Father will call back.

532

01:
06:58,670 -- 01:07:01,580

Stay as long as you like.

533

01:
07:07,890 -- 01:07:10,460

Sis!

534

01:
07:18,710 -- 01:07:22,510

No way! This corn is for Mommy!

535

01:
07:23,460 -- 01:07:26,830

I said, 'no way!' It's my Mom's!

536

01:
07:42,770 -- 01:07:46,016

Mei, it seems Mother's not feeling well,

537

01:
07:46,017 -- 01:07:49,100

so they're delaying her home visit.

538

01:
07:49,410 -- 01:07:51,150

No!

539

01:
07:51,830 -- 01:07:53,133

There's nothing we can do.

540

01:
07:53,134 -- 01:07:55,789

If she rushes it

and gets worse, what'll we do?

541

01:
07:55,790 -- 01:07:57,210

No!

542

01:
07:58,540 -- 01:08:00,919

It's just a short postponement.

543

01:
08:00,920 -- 01:08:02,890

No!

544

01:
08:03,800 -- 01:08:06,259

Then it's all right if Mother dies, is that right?

545

01:
08:06,260 -- 01:08:08,549

NO!

546

01:
08:08,550 -- 01:08:11,170

You dummy! I'm not talking to you anymore!

547

01:
08:22,020 -- 01:08:23,200

Let's go.

548

01:
08:26,570 -- 01:08:30,730

Stupid Sis!

549

01:
08:56,930 -- 01:09:00,590

Let's put away the laundry.

550

01:
09:01,190 -- 01:09:08,180

Don't be so sad.

Granny's come to help, so perk up.

551

01:
09:11,820 -- 01:09:16,739

Your father said he'll stop by the hospital to check on her.

552

01:
09:16,740 -- 01:09:23,780

Besides, it's just a cold.

She'll be back next week.

553

01:
09:27,920 -- 01:09:29,591

It was just like this last time.

554

01:
09:29,592 -- 01:09:31,930

Just a short stay at the hospital.

555

01:
09:32,720 -- 01:09:34,520

A little cold.

556

01:
09:35,930 -- 01:09:37,669

What will we do if Mother dies?

557

01:
09:37,670 -- 01:09:40,289

But, Satsuki-chan...

558

01:
09:40,290 -- 01:09:42,510

Maybe Mom will...

559

01:
09:46,190 -- 01:09:48,990

It's okay, it's okay.

560

01:
09:48,991 -- 01:09:54,069

Who would die and leave such nice children?

561

01:
09:54,070 -- 01:09:57,829

Don't cry, don't cry.

562

01:
09:57,830 -- 01:10:02,880

Granny will be here till your father comes home.

563

01:
10:44,250 -- 01:10:47,930

Mei-chan!

564

01:
10:51,920 -- 01:10:54,330

Mei!

565

01:
10:57,010 -- 01:10:59,150

Mei!

566

01:
11:01,970 -- 01:11:03,129

Did Mei come home?

567

01:
11:03,130 -- 01:11:05,720

You didn't see her at the bus stop?

568

01:
11:07,020 -- 01:11:10,609

That's strange. Where has she gone?

569

01:
11:10,610 -- 01:11:14,270

I had a fight with her, 'cause she was...

570

01:
11:14,490 -- 01:11:17,239

That kid. I wonder if she went to Mother's hospital?

571

01:
11:17,240 -- 01:11:19,834

The Shinkokuyama Hospital?

572

01:
11:20,635 -- 01:11:23,289

It would take a grown-up three hours!

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…
