1. Why did Kaguya choose Earth among the many planets, and why did she have to leave?

2. In the original book, Kaguya lived in Japan for at least three and a half years. During these times, what was she thinking about and what was she thinking about?

3. In the original book, before returning to the moon, Kaguya said that she committed a crime on the moon and was banished to the earth as a punishment. What are the crimes and punishments?

Gao Tianxun: "This film is all about these three questions, and it is my mission to answer these questions, then and now. A woman is born, grows up, and dies. What is Kaguya thinking about? Feeling something. I think this movie is worth making in Japan."

Personal evaluation: The tone of the line is adjusted by Tanabe Xiu, thicker places are thicker, and thin places are thinner, which is his strategy. The background color matching is done by Oga, European transparent watercolor, light red to create a rough feeling, abandoning high-density realism and replacing it with blank space. The inspiration comes from Chinese ink painting, which is more mysterious and comfortable, and Takada Hsun has a special liking for this. The film is changed to "The Story of Bamboo Fetching", the author is unknown. Although the theme of crime and punishment is not close to the original, it can bring deeper thinking after leaving blank.

    This is undoubtedly the most beautiful Ghibli movie I have ever seen. The watercolors are simple and delicate, and the Hisaishi, which is always syrupy, makes the soundtrack also rare to bring out the peace of mind. Heiankyo, Gagaku, and strange talk are simply a feast for those who love period dramas. . The earthly flowers, birds, fish and insects love, hate, hate, and delusion, and the bliss of the other world is cold and peaceful. Every world is nostalgic. It is better to return. The world of Taketori Monogatari is the ultimate truth, goodness and beauty. Tatsuya Nakadai originally matched the charcoal-boiler~

    It's really beautiful. The minimalist and beautiful ink painting style depicts the humanistic customs of the ancient Japanese feudal society, thus depicting the characters to set off women's rights and freedom, and then rise to the meaning of life in the second part of the film, "born to live"; Hisaishi Jean's soundtrack works well together; suddenly I am full of respect for Takahata who passed away! It's really elegant and deeply moving!

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.
