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.

    "I don't want to be anyone's accessory!" Isao Takahata will never disappoint me! This story teaches us to respect the nature of children and let them develop freely, otherwise there will always be regrets in the end. The 80-year-old Grandpa Gao's work from the mountains has returned to gouache painting, and Acura is naturally the same as before.

    Compared with the original Kaguya story, it is more like the female version of "The Little Prince" in ancient Japan: an outside creature overlooks all beings in the world with a surprising and objective attitude. Outsiders must not belong to this world and will eventually leave with mixed emotions. The rest are left to live endlessly, covering the earth. Life is like a dream bubble, birds, bugs and beasts, grass and flowers, princesses, mediocrities and little princes, all in one big dream of the world.

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.
