Parents in the real world watch their children grow up at what seems to be an unbelievable rate.
With this, it can also play into how children grow up so fast and how the perception of time seems to fly for her parents. The phrase “time flies when you’re having fun” comes to mind in regards to her rapid growth as Kaguya seemed rather happy during this period, roaming free, discovering new things and hanging out with the other children. Once born, she is found by an old woodcutter who takes her in to raise into a princess and from there on, Kaguya grows extremely fast, from the size of a thumb to the size of a normal newborn child, quickly learning to crawl and walk at a pace far faster than a baby generally should.
I honestly think that she may be anime’s greatest female protagonist since Kemono no Souja Erin, fleshed out in far more detail than most of the protagonists of other Ghibli films, with few exceptions of course that could come close. The film depicts Kaguya from her birth from the bamboo on Earth and solid amount of corresponding development throughout the years. I found it to be far more than just a simple coming of age story touching upon subjects such as life’s duality, materialism, genuineness and enlightenment. Supposedly, Takahata longed to work on such a project for over 50 years, and anyhow ended up churning out an amazing piece of work. The story has had innumerable adaptations over the years, but I think Studio Ghibli helps breathe life into the tale. First off, it goes to say that the film is a mostly faithful adaptation of the legendary piece of Japanese literature, “The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter,” dating back to 1592. That it is among said studio’s greatest works becoming my personal favorite in such a short amount of time. It is merely my personal thoughts and things I’ve realized while watching the film.Īs one of the more recent additions, “The Tale of Princess Kaguya,” may not be the first title to come up with when you think of Studio Ghibli, yet I’m convinced This analysis may be somewhat messily written or seem to lack any sort of overarching structure. **This “review” is also FAR from complete and I will be continually updating it in the future as I better collect more of my thoughts.** **This “review" is SPOILER-HEAVY and is recommended for those who have already seen the film** The Tale of Princess Kaguya: Peaks and Valleys As she leaves her friends behind to enter into an unwanted life of royalty, Kaguya's origins and purpose slowly come to light. Believing this to be yet another gift from heaven, he takes it upon himself to turn his daughter into a real princess using the wealth he has just obtained, relocating the family to a mansion in the capital. Given the name Kaguya, she fits right in with the village she has come to call home, going on adventures with the other children and enjoying what youth has to offer.īut when Okina finds a large fortune of gold and treasure in the forest, Kaguya's life is completely changed. Okina and his wife Ouna take it upon themselves to raise the infant as their own, watching over her as she quickly grows into an energetic young girl. He immediately takes her home, convinced that she is a princess sent to Earth as a divine blessing from heaven. One day, he discovers a small baby inside a glowing shoot. We’re here to Readingmanga, not to practice spelling).Deep in the countryside, a man named Okina works as a bamboo cutter in a forest, chopping away at the hollow plants day after day.
