The Tale of The Princess Kaguya

A known folktale's heartbreaking spin, The Tale of the Princess Kaguya has a striking, traditional-looking visual that works exceptionally well with the story. Despite being an animation, it does a superb job of portraying emotion and thoughts without words. As you go on the ride with the characters, it is easy to understand their motivations, feelings, struggles, and joys. In fact, there is a scene around the middle point of the movie that portrays so much pleasure, and it's still bittersweet because you know it won't last. There's little to be said other than this movie is definitely worth a watch. It's emotional and beautiful, both in its plot and in the style of its animation.

Oh man, where do I even begin with "The Tale of the Princess Kaguya"? This film just hits you right in the feels. It's an absolute masterpiece from Studio Ghibli, directed by the legendary Isao Takahata. The art is like nothing you've ever seen before, dude. It's like watching a moving watercolor painting. And the story, wow, it's just so different from your typical fairytale. It's this heartfelt tale about a magical girl who grows up in the humble countryside and then is thrown into high society. And what I love is that it doesn't shy away from the tough parts of life. It's a story about finding happiness and freedom in a world that often stifles it. The characters are so real and relatable that you can't help but root for them. But fair warning, it's a real tearjerker. So grab your tissues, 'cause you're in for a ride!
