In the bamboo forest that was lightly locked in the morning mist, a commoner grandpa was suddenly attracted by a wonderful flash of light when he was about to go down the mountain after cutting bamboo. Next to a bamboo, the bamboo shoots bloom like lotus, and in the center of the "stamen" sits a lazy and cute little man dressed in solemn clothes. The old grandpa took it home carefully, but the little man turned into a baby waiting to be fed in the hands of his wife. In the years that followed, the old man and his wife took care of their princess, the little girl. The little girl grew up at an astonishing speed. She met the honest and reliable brother Shewan, and traveled around the countryside with the village children. The nursery rhyme made her cry. The old grandpa later found gold and beautiful cloth in the bamboo forest, thinking that this was an instruction from God to let the princess live a noble life, so he bought a mansion in the capital and moved into the capital. Before he could say goodbye to his friends, the little girl left Happy countryside. The princess is extraordinary and beautiful. The name "Hui Yao Ji" is widely praised among the nobles in the capital, and there is an endless stream of suitors, but the sincere smile of the beautiful girl is difficult to appear again. This does not seem to be the life she yearns for. It turned out that the little girl came from the moon and was banished to the world because of a mistake. Now, the messenger of the moon has come to pick her up. Although she is full of love and affection, she will eventually leave the place where she grew up and the parents who raised her. This is another animation "The Story of Kaguya Hime" adapted from the Japanese folklore "The Story of Bamboo" by Isao Takahata, another director of Studio Ghibli.
The story itself is legendary and interesting, coupled with the beautiful pictures and moving soundtrack, a good animation is born spontaneously. Different from the usual animation production, where the foreground characters and background images are drawn separately and superimposed later, Takahata insists on drawing the characters and background on one picture, and uses sketch-like lines to describe the characters. In this way, the painting style is simple and elegant, although it is simple and simple Like ink, the watercolor world is pure and fresh. The soundtrack of the movie featuring Joe Hisaishi is as quiet and beautiful as ever.
In the story, the earth is a land of sins, and people on the moon are exiled to the earth when they make mistakes. At the end of the movie, when Hui Yaoji had to follow the messenger of the moon back, the messenger said: "Let's go, it's time to set off, let's go back to the clear moon together, let the troubles turn into clouds, and the filth here is also gone. All forgotten." The little girl retorted: "There is no filth here at all, no matter whether it is joy or sadness, the creatures on this land all exude brilliance, birds, insects, beasts, grass, trees, flowers, and human touch... "
Yes, for various reasons, we have left our hometown - the place where we grew up and moved to a distant place. However, no matter where we go, no matter where we are, whether we can go back to our hometown or not, there is always a difference. A beautiful warmth that will remain in our hearts. The mountains in the hometown, the rivers in the hometown, the birds, insects, beasts, grass, trees, and flowers in the hometown are all beautiful in the bottom of my heart; warm.
Only because of the warmth in our hearts, we will move forward more firmly.
