Anyone who has watched "The Story of Taketori" knows that Kaguya Ji can be said to be a typical glamorous and frosty cold beauty. All her warmth towards the world has been given to the adoptive parents who raised her, and a little to give. It is the emperor who always pursued her infatuatedly, but it is only a feeling of friendship, and there is no element of love in it. She didn't even look at other suitors. No one can get her, money, power, status, or even true love can't make her tempted. After all, in the eyes of heaven and human beings, mortals' power status and children's love are regarded as P.
Kaguya Ji is not a mortal person, not a mortal, and there is no mortal desire. The Kaguya Ji in the story is a bit like a mirror, reflecting the greed and hypocrisy of the world. The more enthusiastic the suitor, the more she flinched, yet she did not reject them directly, but dealt with them, led their noses, opened up their lies, and laughed at their ugliness.
Because of persistence, so independent, because of lack of desire, so real, I have always liked such extraordinary and unique Kaguya Ji. She is indeed the incarnation of the moon-unattainable and unreachable. It symbolizes an ideal that mankind will always pursue but can never encroach on. It is beautiful, pure and eternal, and will not change with time, but Because of this, it can't be owned by anyone.
On the other hand, the "Bamboo" in the animation (I really don't want to call her Kaguya Ji) was directly broken into a little girl who loves freedom and nature, and loves the life of ordinary people, and a love story with a farmer was added forcibly. It seems that Kaguyaji is described vividly, natural and close to life, but in fact it is just using the three views and aesthetics of modern people to set the ancient legends. Although the main line of the story is roughly in line with "Taketake Tale", it destroys its original artistic conception and Unique beauty.
I know that the supervisor wants to tell the story of a girl who is not moved by material things and pursues freedom and love, but in this case, it is completely OK not to use Kaguya Ji as the prototype. I also don't want to see a story about a goddess falling in love with a mortal, there are already many such stories. In addition, the "aristocratic life is not as good as the warmth of the world" in the animation is full of thoughts. Life in a mountain village is freedom, warmth, and beauty, and life in the capital is bondage, hypocrisy, and pain. Don't the poor need to worry about life? Is there no evil among the villagers? Ghosts believe.
