Takahata Isao should be a Japanese director familiar to many people. "Grave of the Fireflies" and "The Fairy Tale of the Years" are my favorite animated films, and I still remember the cute confession of the ten-year-old boy in "The Fairy Tale of the Years": "Then ...that...like...like, compared to sunny days and rainy days, what kind of weather do you like?" "Yin...cloudy", "me too". And "Grave of Fireflies", I watched it a long time ago, I still can't forget the narration of the boy "I am already dead, what was the situation at that time", the boy's sister died of hunger caused by the war, and I was crying. And this "Kaguya Story", which has attracted much attention from the Oscars, tells a Japanese folklore story lightly. The style of painting is very unique, like a beautiful watercolor painting, but also like a sketch. two words to describe.

However, this film did not give me as much love as the previous two films, except that it was a profound improvement and innovation in the style of painting. Maybe because this legend is too far away from me to empathize with it.

    Full of sincerity, reminiscent of old Chinese animations of the last century. There are two points of extreme dissatisfaction. Ghibli does not like to use professional voice actors, and the level of dubbing is always uneven. In this work, the old drama bone Miyamoto Nobuko (grandma) performs very well, and the dubbing of other people can't bear it and can't convey the feelings of the characters. Then Shemaru abandoned the princess to get married and have a baby by herself! Still want to live with the princess? Are you worthy of your wife?

    From the moment the arrow that was shot turned into a flower, the tears suddenly couldn't be stopped. Damn, I don't know why. When the little maid came out with the children singing, it was even more frustrating. In fact, there are basically no ups and downs in the plot, and the style of the picture is back to the basics. In the middle, I was only moved by the performances of the characters several times. I just feel that it seems to be the curtain call of the older generation of animators. The movie is over, and an era is over.

The Tale of The Princess Kaguya quotes

  • The Princess Kaguya: [singing] Go round, come round, come round... come round, oh distant time. Come round, call back my heart. Come round, call back my heart. Birds, bugs, beasts, grass, trees, flowers. Teach me how to feel. If i hear that you pine for me, i will return to you.
