From rustic log cabins to splendid palace buildings, from nameless to high-ranking officials, it is nothing more than desire and vanity. But these are just the common feelings of people, Taketori has not done anything wrong, he just wants the little girl he held in the palm of his hand to be happy and rich forever, but before he can enter her heart, he is swallowed up by the torrent of desire. And those stupid children who came to propose marriage were even more staged a farce of ridicule.
Today to share with you a film work "The Tale of Hui Ye Hime", starting from "The Fairy Tale of the Years" and "Tomb of the Fireflies", Takahata told all the people who regard Ghibli as a synonym for fairy tales, feelings and memories, tragedies and tears, are also their unswerving themes. Compared with the more legendary works of Miyazaki, Takahata represents Ghibli's delicate and humanistic soul.
The story of Taketori Monogatari itself, like all folklore, is legendary. The movie portrays the daily life of the world. From the beginning when Hui Ye-hime is removed from the glorious bamboo in the clear soundtrack of the dripping stream, the film rewrites the relationship between The Taketori and his wife for the little bamboo.
When the tender lotus-like baby girl stumbled and climbed and learned to walk, Taketori shouted in a hoarse voice, "Come here, little princess!" Come here, little princess! Shouting and shouting, the white fat bamboo came into his arms, and his face was quickly covered with warm old tears.
Such details look like a fairy story that does not eat fireworks in the world, descending into the mortal world of bamboo sounds, crescent grass, wood, insects and fish. In the story, Hui Ye Ji, who was born from the Moon Palace, was adopted by Grandpa and Grandma and grew up freely and happily in the mountains. After receiving an unexpected fortune, Grandpa moved to Kyoto and went all out to cultivate Hui Ye Ji into the most honorable princess, but Hui Ye Ji lost the happiness she once had.
The little princess in the mouth of the father, the little bamboo in the mouth of the companion, the sociality and naturalness are obvious. The young boy who had just learned to walk ran into his father's arms, suggesting that Yao Ye Ji was destined to grow up in society. And Yao Ye Ji is each of us, we also want to "grow" in society, whether it is moral bondage or personal desires, we learn "piano, chess, calligraphy and painting", constantly cultivate skills, and constantly arm ourselves for crossing classes. And the inner self has also longed to run in the wilderness again, embracing all creatures in nature. But that's just a longing, and we still have to return to life, put on false pretense.
Yao Ye Ji said, "I understand that life is to live, grass, insects, fish and birds and beasts", "grass, insects, fish and birds and beasts" is the yearning of the heart, but it can only be placed after "alive". She had a small house in her luxurious palace, and the small yard was planted with the "nature" she wanted. Lying on the ground, it seems that you can hear the flowing water of the hillside and the birdsong between the trees. However, all this is just a fake, how can this be nature.
Near the end of the film, the music of the heavenly people came from afar. Brisk, ethereal, clear, holy, ethereal, joyful. How can there be such a piece of music full of violations? Why is it so joyful and sad? In surprise, his throat was already sore. This scene, coupled with this music, makes the whole world so poignant that it is not enough to say. The inexplicable tears in my heart are because of joy, because of sadness, and there is no way to sort it out. All the insightful but lacking highlights of the whole film convey and appeal, this moment suddenly exploded, instantly sublimated.
Finally, Hui Ye Ji inadvertently sends a message to the Moon Palace that she wants to go back under an oppressive situation, but it is not until the emissaries of the Moon Palace take her back that Hui Ye Ji understands how much she is nostalgic for this lovely world. There are two core words in the play.
The first is that hui ye ji and brother Shimaru shouted when they traveled through the heavens and the earth hand in hand, "Heaven and earth, please accept me." The other was Hui Ye Ji's rebuttal to the Emissary of the Moon Palace, "This place is not filthy at all! Whether it is joy or sorrow, the creatures of this land all radiate brilliance, grass worms and fish, birds, trees and flowers, and human touches. ”
Obviously, the core idea of the story is to tell people that the true happiness of life lies in the unrestrainedness of running in heaven and earth and experiencing the endless blossoming of flowers, rather than being bound by external objects such as fame and fortune. But the reason for huiyueji's loss of her former happiness in this key plot does not point out the main idea well, but it is easy to think that this tragedy comes from the oppression of people, especially women, by the feudal system. However, folklore stories have always been lighter than story logic and more important than story charm. And this movie is also doing a very good job in the latter, which can be said to be flawed.

Watching the whole movie will inevitably make people sigh, and they can't extricate themselves from the plot for a long time, not only for hui Ye Ji in the movie, but also for themselves. He was not disturbed by the world's recognition like Hui Yeji in the movie, and could not find the truest self, and even once forgot the happiness and happiness that once belonged to him.
Carrying too much heavy sustenance and mission as if the whole person is working hard for the approval of others, succumbing to the materialistic values of the real society and distorting their own nature and soul, when they try to rediscover their happiness, they find that they have long come to the end of their demise.
Hui Ye Ji saw through the various states of all beings, and finally got rid of the troubles of the world and returned to the clear moon capital. Such an ending is not an expression of her final disappointment in the world. On the contrary, Hui Ye Ji was incomparably eager for a worldly life, eager to live truly casually, rather than seemingly free and detached, but in fact bound to spirituality, and the high places were cold.
Although ugly and unbridled is disappointing, innocence and goodness are also fascinating. How filthy life is, how charming it is. No one or anything is absolutely good, and Hui ye Ji's departure is a warning to us that instead of complaining, it is better to accept, but to cherish - all she longs for is to truly live once. Being born ordinary may be our happiness.
