The Tale of the Princess Kaguya	comment	The Tale of the Princess Kaguya is a 2013 Japanese animation film from Studio Ghibli, directed by Isao Takahata, based on the 10th-century Japanese fairy tale The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. Clocking in at 2 hours and 17 minutes, it stands as Ghibli's longest film ever released and one of the longest animated films in the world.A bamboo cutter (Takeo Chii) discovers a miniature girl (Aki Asakura) in a bamboo shoot. He and his wife (Nobuko Miyamoto) take her in, naming her "Princess Kaguya" and raising her to be a lady. As Kaguya grows in beauty, she also remembers her origins on the Moon, and is torn between returning there and her love for her life on Earth.The film also stars Kengo Kora as Sutemaru, Atsuko Takahata as Lady Sagami, Tomoko Tabata as Me no Warawa, Tatekawa Shinosuke as Inbe no Akita, Takaya Kamikawa as Prince Ishitsukuri, Hikaru Ijuin as Lord Minister of the Right Abe, Ryudo Uzaki as Great Counselor Otomo, Nakamura Shichinosuke II as the Mikado, Isao Hashizume as Prince Kuramochi, Yukiji Asaoka as Kitanokata and Tatsuya Nakadai as the old woodcutter.This was Takahata's last directorial work before his death in April 2018, though not the last project he was involved in (that being The Red Turtle in 2016, which he co-produced alongside Toshio Suzuki, Vincent Maraval, Pascal Caucheteux, and GrÃ©goire Sorlat). It was dubbed and released in North America in 2014, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, a first for an anime film not directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It was also the first Ghibli film to be distributed on home video by Universal in North America. It also is currently the highest-budget anime film ever made, having a budget of $49 million (5 billion Yen).note This is more than twice the budget of the previous film to hold this distinction, Steamboy, which had a budget of $20 million (2.108 billion yen).No relation to Kaguya-sama: Love Is War (save for them both being inspired by the same story). The same Japanese folk tale that inspired this film was adapted back in 1987 as a live-action feature called Princess From the Moon.

The Tale of the Princess Kaguya / int_14ed6ab7	type	Does This Remind You of Anything?
The Tale of the Princess Kaguya / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: The whole story, on Kaguya's father side, is a fantasy retelling of what fatherhood and the relative concerns: The Bamboo Cutter, the very day meets his daughter, is instantly smitten with her, naming her his "princess" and acting as she'll be destined to be the most beautiful, important girl in his whole life. Exactly as every father is led to believe his own daughter is the cutest, brightest, loveliest little princess around. Kaguya grows at an extraordinary rate in the first act of the movie, often with other characters commenting upon her growth with every spurt she has (often following some special event, like flowers suddenly blooming or her learning how to crawl and walk). Now, what exactly is it grown-ups tend to say regarding children? "They grow up so fast." The Bamboo Cutter has always shown signs of being a protective, worrywart of a father. But losing your little daughter in the woods, or a big area with little to nothing hopes of finding her in time is the quintessential parental fear. Kaguya eventually grows up, and her adoptive father accidentally screws her whole life by trying to provide her an upperclass education and find her a high-ranking husband. Almost every father wants his daughter to have a better life than the one he led, sometimes without stopping to collect her own opinions in the process. Kaguya refuses to tell her father how she feels, to avoid hurting him. Her father couldn't have possibly known what's wrong with her. He sees her sullen and moody for all her teenage years, and every attempt to cheer her up is shot down. Exactly as the average complaint of a father unable to connect with his teenage daughter. In the end, Kaguya has to get back to her kingdom on the moon, forgetting her life on Earth. How does a father feel when he becomes suddenly aware that his daughter is going to live on her own, possibly ending up somewhere where being in contact frequently would be very hard, if not impossible? The whole plot point with donning the celestial robe and forgetting everyone on Earth could be related to a daughter moving far away, "forgetting" about her parents and never calling them.

The Tale of the Princess Kaguya / int_16e17035	comment	Patrick Stewart Speech: Kaguya starts to give one of these as she's saying her final goodbye to her parents and to the Earth, adamant that the moon people's attempt to downplay her hesitation by pointing out the impurity of Earth and the sorrow and pain that exist in it only reveals that they don't fully grasp the complexities and blessings of life on this planet and of the humans who inhabit it. Indeed they don't (nor do they care), for they place the robe of forgetfulness on her mid-speech and shut her down.

The Tale of the Princess Kaguya / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: In a way. In the original tale, the Emperor does grab Kaguya and it's portrayed rather sympathetically while the movie makes it clear he committed a violation of her will that led her to make her trauma-induced decision. In the original tale, after apologizing for this the Emperor and Kaguya become platonic pen pals (though his romantic feelings for her lingered) of sorts. In fact, it's he who supplied guards to prevent her forced ascendency and is distraught when that fails. Here, he is unrepentant and still insists that he will have her.

And this is before he lies about how he collected it and definitely before the craftsmen who really made the branch come to collect their pay.

Leaving the elixir out of this retelling emphasizes the ephemeral nature of life throughout the story.

The Tale of the Princess Kaguya / int_71e8a5c5	type	Trauma Conga Line
The Tale of the Princess Kaguya / int_71e8a5c5	comment	Trauma Conga Line: Kaguya's childhood is relatively happy. Once she's taken to the capital, however, things sour: She's immediately shut off from her childhood friends. Her teacher is demanding and has no tolerance for her lack of enthusiasm. Her first period is met with her father putting her on the marriage market. Suitors are immediately struck by her, before even having met her, which puts pressure her to marry someone she doesn't even know. She briefly sees one childhood friend in the street, which mainly makes him pause in shock and be thoroughly beaten. One suitor successfully plays to her interests, but is strongly implied to be manipulating her rather than being genuine as the parents secretly have one of his earlier wives present at his proposal to verify his sincerity. Another accidentally dies in an attempt to woo her (see Shoot the Shaggy Dog above). The Emperor concludes that she's shooting everyone else down because she's holding out for him, and when he embraces her from behind, she panics, and sets in motion her return to the Moon. In the end, she can do nothing to stop it; even under protest, as she recognizes both the good and the bad of Earth and clearly doesn't want to forget it, the celestial robe is placed on her anyway.

The Tale of the Princess Kaguya / int_916c72b3	type	Rule of Symbolism
The Tale of the Princess Kaguya / int_916c72b3	comment	Rule of Symbolism: All over the place. Kaguya's father gives her a bird in a cage for a present which represents her own situation in the Gilded Cage. She decides to free the bird. During the feast her father throws to celebrate her first period, Kaguya sits in a literal cage alone behind a curtain, while all the men get to drink, laugh, and party supposedly in her honor. The dejected look on her face says it all. The five suitors compare her beauty to impossible treasures as proof of their love, despite having never seen her. When she asks them to go find said treasures they sputter that that's impossible, which she takes to mean their love for her is as non-existent as the treasures they describe. She's tragically right. The first two suitors show up and claim they found the impossible treasure she requested, only for them to turn out to be fakes. Kaguya lampshades that their love is as fake as the public image her father cultivated for her. The fourth suitor brings a single wild flower he plucked from the side of the road as a symbol of how simple but real his alleged affection is. His wife (whom it's implied he wooed with this same pickup line) turns up and demands to know how many more flowers he intends to pluck and discard in this manner. If anything, this indicates what the wild flower truly symbolizes, how he only wants a woman so long as she's attainable. The Emperor embracing her from behind without her consent, her horrified reaction, her subsequent Empty Shell and Dull Eyes of Unhappiness behavior, and her news to her parents that his embrace made her want to escape so intensely that it hastened her inescapable return to the moon, can all be read as symbolism for Kaguya experiencing Rape as Drama and then being Driven to Suicide or Death by Despair. The people of the moon could easily be read as a Take That! to Buddhism. Not only does the leader of the moon people resemble the Buddha, but they're described as ageless, immortal beings who never experience the miseries of mortal life (hunger, pain, fear, sorrow, loss, grief, aging, sickness, or death) but also never its joys or pleasures either (One of the core tenets of Buddhism is rising above worldly suffering and desire to obtain enlightenment). The moon and its people can be seen as symbolizing nirvana (a state of permanent peace, liberation, and "consciousness without feature, without end" beyond suffering and desire). Kaguya's passionate speech that she's learned that it's better to experience all the joys and hardships of mortal life than the bland immortal existence, and them putting the cloak of forgetfulness on her anyway is unambiguously depicted as a Downer Ending.

The Tale of the Princess Kaguya / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
The Tale of the Princess Kaguya / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Around the middle of the film, Kaguya states that the moment she marries the Emperor and her father dons the hat of a court official, she will kill herself. Later in the film, after the Emperor attempts to make his advances on her, Kaguya ends up inadvertently summoning the lunarians to take her away, and they do indeed do so at the end of the film. Where this really comes into play is an explanation by Isao Takahata himself that Kaguya's departure is symbolic of death, meaning she did indeed end up killing herself in a metaphorical sense. A subtle one near the start of the film. While Kaguya is still a baby, a number of kids nickname her "bamboo" and beckon her toward them. Her father insists that her name is "Princess," and beckons her toward him instead. While little Kaguya would obviously prefer to be with the kids, she's swayed to go to her father instead. When she gets older, even though she'd rather stay with Sutemaru and live as a bamboo-cutter's daughter in the mountains, she lets her parents (particularly her father) persuade her to move to the city to live as a noble lady instead. This leads to years of unhappiness, and she dies full of regret.

The Tale of the Princess Kaguya / int_aabe2fb	comment	Deliberate Values Dissonance: Best exemplified with Kaguya's tutor, Lady Sagami. She teaches Kaguya how to be a proper lady, which is very tedious and restrictive. Her tutor also imposes contemporary fashion standards that the audience knows to look off (like plucking her eyebrows and rubbing black charcoal over her teeth), but are considered beautiful during the time the film is set in. Her tutor also insists that if Kaguya chooses a rich man's hand she will be happy, but Kaguya points out that she's never met or seen any of these men or vice-versa, so how can they love her, and how can she find happiness pledging her hand to a stranger? In a big change from the original tale, the Emperor physically grabs Kaguya and calls for the carriage to abduct her. Being a man of power, he's allowed to. It's very clearly depicted as a terrible violation with the threat of sexual assault. Kaguya has no problem being naked in front of her male friends and swimming with them, and nobody else seems to mind. Something like this would be considered unthinkable today.

The Tale of the Princess Kaguya / int_bef696dd	comment	Mind Screw: It's difficult to figure out what exactly is the point of the ending without Word of God to explain the symbolism. The relentless approach of the People of the Moon is not an attack by Scary Dogmatic Aliens, but the souls of the departed coming to bring Kaguya because she's dying and destined for The Nothing After Death.

When the other Lunarians place a celestial robe on her, restoring her divine status, her memories of her mortal life on Earth are erased.

The Tale of the Princess Kaguya / int_c335b9ec	comment	Irony: The fifth suitor dies from falling and breaking his spine, whilst a tiny unharmed swallow hatchling escapes its shell and hatches in the palm of his dead hand. Such imagery is quite grim. The festival held in honor of Kaguya's naming and menstruation didn't have Kaguya herself at all, with her kept away from all the festivities. Inversely, the Lunarians hold a joyous musical procession, with her at the center of it—but only to take her away, and ignore her pleas to continue living on Earth. No matter what, whatever celebration is in her name always ignores the feelings of the person it's supposed to celebrate. The mysterious alternate verse of Kaguya's childhood song concerns a person who wants to learn how to feel, and tells another that if they pine for the singer noticeably enough, they'll return. This variation plays for the final time during Kaguya's ascent to the Moon; multiple shots are devoted to the people who most wanted Kaguya to stay on Earth, but all parties involved know she's never coming back.

The Tale of the Princess Kaguya / int_cc4b45f6	comment	Around the middle of the film, Kaguya states that the moment she marries the Emperor and her father dons the hat of a court official, she will kill herself. Later in the film, after the Emperor attempts to make his advances on her, Kaguya ends up inadvertently summoning the lunarians to take her away, and they do indeed do so at the end of the film. Where this really comes into play is an explanation by Isao Takahata himself that Kaguya's departure is symbolic of death, meaning she did indeed end up killing herself in a metaphorical sense.

When the Emperor embraces her from behind she wants nothing more than to return to the moon, inadvertently summoning the People of the Moon to come fetch her. After the shock wears off, she realizes she still wants to stay on earth, and realizes she could still leave her Gilded Cage behind and live the life she wants... if only the People of the Moon weren't coming to get her no matter what so soon. In the end they come to get her and place a Cloak of Forgetfullness above her, which Word of God explains symbolizes a young woman dying tragically young and experiencing The Nothing After Death.

However, the fourth suitor, whom she had tasked with retrieving Buddha's begging bowl, returns with only a simple wildflower. He explains that, after considering the task, he felt the flower was the more accurate representation of his devotion to her - simple and blooming. Ultimately subverted when Kaguya discovers that this suitor has made the same speech to multiple other girls, including his wife who he is still married to. When the suitor is giving his speech, Kaguya - sitting behind a screen - quickly swaps out with the wife, who then tears a strip off the man, before sending the suitor away.

After this he goes on to decide that he's Entitled to Have Her and attempts to take her with him against her will, reasoning that no girl has never wanted him not to take her. Even after Kaguya has made it as clear as possible that she wants nothing to do with him, he insists that it's his conviction that her happiness is dependent on her belonging to him. The fourth suitor, Ishizakuri no Miko, also is a case of this. He appears to be a sensitive, compassionate man, to the point that Kaguya seems to momentarily consider returning his affections. Then he's revealed to be a Manipulative Bastard who didn't truly mean a word of anything he said and is in fact cheating on his wife by trying to seduce Kaguya.

Both moments are ambiguous and indicate that at least some of it might have happened as her dreams seem to overlapped with actual events (Kaguya is given some plot-relevant information in the former, and with the latter, while it's reasonable to assume that the running off and flying part must have been a dream, everything up till that point is presented in a perfectly down-to-earth, realistic manner... And everything Kaguya says and does is things Sutemaru would have no possible way of knowing about.

He explains to Kaguya that in his search for the treasure, he happened upon the wildflower instead and found it more suitable to represent his 'devotion' for her. As opposed to his and the other suitors' claims of how their love for her were like impossible treasures, it makes it look like his love has shifted to becoming just like that flower: simple but natural and blooming. But when it's revealed he's made that speech before to other girls (including his begrudging current wife), said-wife makes a scathing point that his wildflower speech is but a glorified pick-up line. If anything, it only serves to reflect how he really views women: as easily attainable as common wildflowers to pluck up and then dispose of when he tires of them.
