It's really hard to just pick a movie and post it here like the most awesome one, but from all my favourites I want to talk about "The tale of the princess Kaguya" by the Studio Ghibli, it's based in a very important japanese tale called "The tale of the bamboo cutter" and I've seen it in 2015. It shows us the story of a bamboo cutter married that hasn't children that find a little girl inside a blowing bamboo shoot. From the beginning he thought she was a divine presence so he took her and with his wife have rised as if she's their daughter and they almost always called her "Princess". They gave her the nickname of Takenoko (means little bamboo). When the man went to the grove to work, he found some gold, fine clothes and he starts planning to make her become a real princess. When she has become a young lady, she has an impossible love with a friend, Sotemaru, but her parents took her to the town, where she has her own mansion repleted with servants and her father got her the formal name of Princess Kaguya and make her got married. 5 nobleman try to get her attention by comparing her beauty with some mytical treasures. Then the princess said she would marry with the first man that bring the treasure for her. One of them refuses to make it because it was an impossible task. The end of the movie I'll leave it on your own eyes to see it. It's interesting because isn't like all the animated movies I've seen before, the kind of drawing are like the ancient japanese art, the moves of the characters are magical and fast to express all the feelings and the emotions. Unexpected, I love the tale as much as I love the movie. I do recommend this movie (and tale) a lot because it leaves you a message that says:the most simple things make your life better than having all the things you think you need.

i really like fallen i used to read the first book when i was bored.
ReplyDeleteHi Paola,
ReplyDeleteJapanese tales seem to leave clear messages to the reader/watcher; I've watched but a few Japanese animations... Nice to know you like them.
See you,
