Original story by Lucy Maud Montgomery
AKAGE NO ANNE
Hizume no oto
A carriage goes through the gentle hills
Yuruyakana oka wo nutte
Kaketekuru basha
Someone comes to pick me up
Mukae ni kuru no mukae ni kuru no ne
And takes me
Dare ka ga
Watashi wo tsureteyuku no ne
Shiroi hana no michi he
To the avenue with white flowers
To the home of wind
Kaze no furusato he
He takes me
Tsureteyuku no ne
I'm sure
Tsureteyuku no ne
Off to Queen's College
It's done.
Thank you, Marilla.
I will start sewing it today.
The dress will be beautiful.
You had best not get your hopes up too high.
I'm going to Diana's for a bit.
Don't stay too long. You have yet to finish preparing.
I know. I'm leaving now.
In a couple of days, Anne would be leaving for Queen's College.
The tension at Green Gables is mounting.
Is Anne ready yet for college?
Matthew would constantly worry.
Well, if you don't see her around,
she must have gone to Carmody to shop again.
She did not even discuss it with me.
Matthew would act like this.
I don't intend to stop him this time.
Really, in truth, you are just as worried about her.
Oh yes, I heard that Ruby, Jane and Josie have all gotten their gowns.
Evening gowns?
Yes.
Josie always was more interested in fashion than books.
Look at how nervous you all are. Matthew's got it all ready.
How could that be possible?
I have no intention of spoiling Anne.
Anne, do you remember this book?
It's 'Alice in Wonderland'.
Yes, that's the one.
Oh no, I'm going to be late.'
The rabbit jumps into the hole, and he keeps falling.'
This is yours now.
We were crazy about this book four years ago.
I hope you bring this to Charlottesville to remember me by.
I'm going to be terribly lonely when she leaves.
Diana.
It wasn't easy raising Anne, and yet she's leaving you already.
You must feel very anxious indeed.
Well, there's really no other way about it.
When she first came, we were determined to give her the best we could offer.
It would seem like you are sending your only daughter away.
She would not be by your side anymore.
It is going to be an adventure to a 15-year-old girl.
Perhaps.
But I'm not too worried about her, she's a sensible child.
I'm only reminding you of the possibility. Once she gets there,
she might not want to come back to 'rural' Avonlea anymore.
Do you want more tea?
Yes, please. Thank you.
If she feels that way, we won't stop her.
We are happy when she is.
Matthew, you are home.
Mrs Spencer sent a telegraph.
Telegraph?
Yes, she said she would be paying us a visit tomorrow.
Anne, take this to Matthew.
Alright.
This is the one.
I wonder what news she will bring.
On the second day, Mrs Spencer visits Green Gables.
Everyone entered the house for tea, in a mess of excitement.
Matthew had no clue what purpose Mrs Spencer's visit held.
He felt very uneasy.
Anne Shirley, congratulations on your entrance to Queen's College.
Thank you, Mrs Spencer.
When I first brought you and Lily Jones here,
you were just a weeny girl,
Look how you have grown into a lady. You have changed so much.
Lily has also grown up. She sends her warmest regards.
I wish to see Lily too.
If the opportunity arises, please come and see us again.
Oh yes, there's a purpose to my visit today.
What is it?
I know an American couple
who wish to adopt Anne.
It's too sudden, we...
Ms Marilla Cuthbert.
I know it is very sudden, but please hear me out.
Thank you, Marilla.
Anne, you recited while you were at a hotel in White Sands.
Yes, is there a problem?
The lady who wants to adopt you, heard your recitation.
Your performance touched them deeply.
They came to me a few days ago, after trying to locate your whereabouts.
They said they wanted Anne desperately.
They deserve sympathy as well.
They can't have children themselves,
but they promised to treat you as their own,
You will even be entitled to their tremendous fortune should you agree.
Wow, sounds like Cinderella.
I knew you would say that, it's also better for you.
I want to discuss this in greater detail. Oh yes.
Can you take me to your room?
It's in a horrible mess.
It doesn't matter at all.
Lend me Anne for a bit, is it this way?
I'll be right back.
Anne!
What is Mrs Spencer thinking?
Whatever it is, they do own a few banks in America.
They are also tutors.
Their house is built like a garden, beautiful as can be.
They hold parties every weekend.
Parties!
Anne.
What is the matter with you?
Nothing, nothing.
What are they talking about?
Wow, it really does sound like the story of Cinderella.
Matthew, what are we to do if Anne agrees to Mrs Spencer's request?
No, she would not do that to us.
I don't think she will too but her eyes were lit up just now.
She seemed almost eager to leave with Mrs Spencer right away.
That is true.
I'll go take a look.
Matthew, wait, I'm coming with you.
They are very friendly people.
They are willing to send you to very good schools,
and they will buy you whatever clothes, accessories that you want.
Isn't that great?
Yes, it sounds very good.
I know you would have a problem with Matthew and Marilla,
just let me do the talking.
What are you going to say?
Although we don't have to leave right away, but as long as you agree,
Marilla and Matthew will understand.
But I...
I'm sorry.
I was too entranced.
What does that mean?
I never thought anyone else would want me as their child.
So I listened as I would a fairy tale.
Anne, what is wrong with you?
You should have told me from the start if you weren't interested.
To think I was thinking for your sake.
I'm sorry, it's just that you made it sound so much like a dream.
I felt just like Cinderella, so I...
Matthew, don't get so excited. Remember your heart.
What are you smiling at?
Anne, you...
Matthew and Marilla's laughter continued for a while.
When she recovered, Marilla apologized for being rude.
But Mrs Spencer had left in a huff.
Only Matthew's eyes followed her out.
Anne, you shouldn't have done that.
You shouldn't have treated it as a story.
I only...
No protest.
You just go get yourself ready to go to Charlottesville.
Yes, Marilla.
But it was really very interesting.
No more jokes. But it really was.
Anne, don't take it seriously.
Marilla's simply relieved.
There's no need for this anymore.
I must take this with me.
Yes.
Alice in Wonderland'
I will never forgive myself if I forget Diana's gift.
I heard that Ruby, Jane and Josie have their gowns already.
Matthew, I'm going to Carmody tomorrow.
I want to make a dress for Anne.
A dress for Anne?
Marilla visited the pastor on her way to Carmody
to ask Mrs Alan to choose a suitable material for Anne's dress.
She had no idea what material would be suitable for Anne.
She had never had the chance to wear one before.
Mrs Alan offered help most graciously.
They left for Carmody immediately.
Marilla liked what Mrs Alan had picked up for Anne.
Can I come in, Anne?
Yes, please do.
Are you all packed?
Not yet, I'm resting for a while.
Oh good. Come and see this.
This may turn out a pointless effort
since you already have so many beautiful clothes.
But I think you still need something
for the dinner.
It's lovely.
I heard that Ruby, Jane and Josie have their gowns made.
It won't do if you bought something off the rack.
Mrs Alan picked out the material.
I want to send this to Emily quickly.
Emily is going to do a great job.
It looks beautiful on you.
What's wrong? Don't you like it?
No, it's not that Marilla. It's pretty.
I'm really, really happy, but
do I really get to keep this?
I can't stand leaving this place.
Like Marilla said, Emily did a wonderful job.
When the gown came,
Anne suggested reciting for Marilla and Matthew that night,
the one she did at the hotel in White Sands.
That must be my father, the King.
He acts like a madman, holding no one in his vision.
His hair full of weed.
All kinds of wild weed
as well as herbs.
Herbs that hold precious medicinal value
now arranged in a crown resting upon his head.
Go into every corner to seek him.
Bring him before me.
Can madness really overcome one's senses?
Matthew Cuthbert, who is she? That boy?
There's no boy there. There's only her.
No one there? That's not possible.
Didn't we ask Mrs Spencer for a boy?
I have made up my mind to enjoy the carriage ride.
Once I've made my mind up, I won't think of anything else.
A ride like this is so rare.
Forget about the adoption, and concentrate on this moment.
Look at the wild roses there.
What is the white building?
It's the White Sands Hotel.
A lot of Americans come here during summer.
It's where Mrs Spencer lives.
I don't want to go there.
It gives me a feeling of doom.
She seems very competitive.
A weak child would be of no use to us.
It would only add to our worries.
I quite like her stubborn streak.
You must be obedient when you come and live with us.
You must help me with the household chores.
You will be repaid with food and lodging.
I have decided to adopt this child.
The baby has been a handful recently,
now there will be someone to help me out a little.
I didn't know what to do before.
I intend to take this child home today.
What should I do...
Actually, we haven't decided if we want this child yet.
All kind of weed and herbs
The tears are rolling down,
someone please help the lost soul.
Marilla, did you cry because of my recitation?
That means I did a good job.
No, I was just thinking of when you were a child.
It does not seem long ago that you came here,
and how you have grown, all prepared to leave the nest now.
I thought you would always stay a little girl.
You look really pretty in the dress.
She's tall and beautiful now, totally unlike Avonlea.
I feel so lonely just thinking about it.
Marilla, I haven't changed a bit.
I only grew taller and I have less freckles now.
But I'm still the same person that I was.
It's true, Marilla.
No matter where I go, no matter how much my looks may change,
I'll always be your little Anne.
I'll always be Anne of Green Gables.
Yes, she has never been spoilt.
It's alright to pamper her at times,
because she's an intelligent, beautiful and kind girl.
Anne is God's gift to us.
Mrs Spencer was wrong. I feel so lucky.
If everything depended on luck,
it wouldn't be the same.
Maybe this was God's intention,
He feels that we need this child.
After 9 months, Anne's finally leaving to Charlottesville.
I will be back during the vacation.
I will be the first back here then.
I'll be there to pick you up.
You have to promise to write us.
I will, and don't you forget either.
If only I had gone for the exam too, then we can go together.
Diana.
Alright, alright, no more weeping now.
Anne, remember not to overwork yourself.
You must take care as well, Marilla.
Matthew, you must drop by Ms Barry's to thank her for everything.
I know.
Alright Anne, it's time to go.
Ok Diana. Marilla, take care.
Goodbye, Anne.
I'm leaving now.
Anne.
You must take care.
Goodbye, Green Gables!
I have to go now to Charlottesville, my hope for the future.
I can now finally live my dream out at Queen's College.
Anne was filled with new inspirations.
