From Up on Poppy Hill	comment	From Up on Poppy Hill (Kokuriko-zaka kara/ã‚³ã‚¯ãƒªã‚³å�‚ã�‹ã‚‰) is a 2011 Studio Ghibli film by director Goro Miyazaki. It is Goro Miyazaki's second film for Studio Ghibli. In contrast to his first work, Tales from Earthsea, his new effort was rather well received. It's based on the 1980s manga series Kokuriko-zaka kara by Tetsuo Sayama and Chizuru Takahashi.The heroine, Umi Matsuzaki (voiced by Masami Nagasawa), is a high school girl in Yokohama of 1963. From her home on Poppy Hill overlooking the bay, she raises flag signals every morning meaning "I pray for safe voyages". One day, she receives an answer, as it turns out, from Shun Kazama (Junichi Okada), one class above her.In preparation for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and following in step with an economic boom, Japan is quickly modernizing amidst growing student movements and social unrest, often razing the old to make way for the modern. At Umi's school, the old building of the Culture Club, nicknamed "Quartier Latin" by the students, is scheduled to be torn down. Can the students, including Umi and Shun, really do anything against this decision?The film also stars Keiko Takeshita as Hana Matsuzaki, Yuriko Ishida as Miki Hokuto, Jun Fubuki as RyÅ�ko Matsuzaki, Takashi Naito as Yoshio Onodera, Shunsuke Kazama as ShirÅ� Mizunuma, Nao ÅŒmori as Akio Kazama and Teruyuki Kagawa as Tokumaru.Disney didn't want to release it because of certain themes the movie touches upon, including incest, and they have a strict "no cuts" agreement with Ghibli which meant they couldn't edit any part of the movie, which left the job to GKIDS as their first Ghibli film. Eventually, a dubbed version was released into American theaters March 2013, with a DVD and Blu-Ray release following that fall.

The original Japanese title, Kokuriko-zaka Kara, is also an example; "Kokuriko" is a transliteration of "coquelicot", a French term for the corn poppy.

From Up on Poppy Hill / int_771f6307	type	Brother–Sister Incest
From Up on Poppy Hill / int_771f6307	comment	Brotherâ€“Sister Incest: Zig-zagged. Let's break this down: Shun was adopted, and discovers he and Umi shared a father, Sawamura, who died on a supply ship during the Korean War, because they both have a picture of him with two other men, and his father affirms that Shun was adopted when Sawamura asked them. After some confused attempts to make distance between them, he tells Umi what he knows and the two conclude that although they love each other, their siblinghood makes any romantic relationship impossible. However, on their way back from Tokyo, Umi declares her continuing love for him and he admits he still reciprocates, even if they can't pursue a relationship. Back home it turns out that Umi's mother has arrived for a visit, and in conversation about the photo and Shun, reveals that Shun's real father is Tachibana, a second man in the photo, who died on a repatriation ship after World War 2. When Tachibana's wife died giving birth to Shun and their immediate relatives died in Nagasaki, Sawamura legally registered him into his family so he wouldn't be lost as an orphan in the chaos of post World War 2 Japan. For practical reasons (given that he was a sailor and his wife a pregnant medical student), he soon decided to give him up to the Kazamas, who had recently lost a child. After confirming all this with the third man in the photo, Onodera, just before he sets sail, the two are relieved to NOT be siblings and free to pursue a relationship without obstacle.

After Umi reads the poem about her flags, a classmate who fancies himself The Spock rather callously claims that someone responding to her flags "just doesn't calculate". As he walks off (never to be important again), he's called a Math Club Freak and it's mentioned he's one of the clubhouse denizens. The moment adequately establishes not any particular character, but the fact that there's a clubhouse and the very negative opinion most girls have of it.

Ham radio usage in a high-school club is a good device for evoking the time period; the Japanese version pushes that nostalgia button perfectly, but would have sounded really really jarring in the dub.

From Up on Poppy Hill / int_caa28b82	comment	Cloudcuckoolander: Sachiko, the absentminded art student living with the Matsuzakis. When Sora calls Shun a "live wire" she assumes that he's an electrician's son, and asks if beef jerky is made of pork.

From Up on Poppy Hill / int_cbdd9a55	comment	We ARE Struggling Together: Downplayed. The clubhouse may have dozens of clubs, but that doesn't mean they get along together in the slightest. The Philosophy and Chemistry clubs are in particular at odds with one another.

From Up on Poppy Hill / int_d5eed41c	comment	Cry into Chest: Umi bursts into tears exactly twice, once with each parent. The first is during a tragic dream where both her parents are present, and the second is when Umi is informed that she and Shun may not in fact be siblings after all.

From Up on Poppy Hill / int_dca70c44	comment	Reasonable Authority Figure: Chairman Tokumaru, who jokes with Mizunuma, Shun, and Umi about their playing hooky to meet him in Tokyo and ultimately allows Quartier Latin to remain standing. This is in stark contrast to the Isogo High principal, who tries to go forward with demolishing Quartier Latin despite an impressive student-run remodeling effort and the student population swinging from 80% for demolition to a majority against.

From Up on Poppy Hill / int_e743ffa9	comment	Good Old Ways: The 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo has split the country practically down the middle, with one faction practically champing at the bit to abandon the old ways and the other clinging desperately and refusing to dispense with their history and identity. Shun Kazama has no problem with the future, but insists that it can't be properly achieved without first knowing the past. Of course, his own past has quite the bumpy ride for him in store.
