Director Takahata Isao really brought us a beautiful work. Here, I would like to briefly talk about my views on this film. If you have different opinions, please advise.
Flowers, Birds and Beasts.
There is a song in the film that has been sung all the time, it is about flowers and trees, about birds and insects, about beasts and so on. All of them are representatives of nature, and all of them are admired and loved by Kaguya. She wanted freedom, she didn't want to have her eyebrows pulled out, she didn't want to have her teeth blackened, she wanted to be able to sweat without worry, to laugh without restraint.
She was even more reluctant to become anyone's vassal, so she kept rejecting what her father called "the happiness of marrying a dignitary".
But she doesn't want to hurt anyone, she tries her best to make her father happy, she tries her best to be a noble princess, she hears that one of her suitors has died because of her, she feels so much remorse... she lost her joy , but never lost her kindness.
alive.
In this film, we have to focus on one thing: miracles. It's hard to imagine that the gold, silver, and colorful clothes that Bamboo Touweng obtained from the bamboo may be the will of the gods, and that the punishment of the gods may be a secular violation. This violation makes Kaguya feel mourning for the human world, and this violation corrupts Hui all the time. Ye Ziyi's fearless heart made her cowardly and made her feel safe. As long as she returns to the Moon Palace, she will no longer have these worries, so, "I really want to leave, let me leave the world." Such voices often echoed in Kaguya's heart.
However, I had to feel unexpected, but reasonable: Kaguya still wanted to stay in the world in the end. Because the world not only includes "worldliness", but also "human feelings", as well as flowers and trees, birds and insects, and beasts. She couldn't bear it, how could she bear it? Selfless family affection, gentle nature, carefree and simple life... are all unforgettable to her.
This can't help but remind me of life and death. Maybe in life, or when things go wrong, the feeling of "wanting to leave" is like Kaguya, but at this time, should we think about Kaguya's choice? To live well, life cannot be given up easily.
In addition, the emotional expression of "The Story of Kaguya Princess", especially the figure of Kaguya fleeing in the night, is impressive, and it really brings the beauty of ink painting to the extreme.
At this time, the world seemed to be left with only the rushing Kaguya and a bright moon in the sky. The moon seemed to hang quietly in the sky as expected, watching Kaguya's inner struggle throughout the whole process.
