This movie's soundtrack alone should have made it worthy enough to win at the Oscars for best animated feature film. The film as a whole truly is a masterpiece. The traditional animation and beautifully orchestrated music show how much heart, passion and dedication was put into this feature film. The Tale of princess Kaguya losing to big hero 6 bothers me so much.
+Travis Bickle Read this article and then you will understand why BH6 won agains this masterpiece: www.cartoonbrew.com/award-season-focus/proof-that-oscar-voters-are-clueless-about-animation-109456.html The Oscars voters are morons all the way.
I can´t still get over it, another standard disney movie winning...But oscars do not tell that much about the quality of the movie. Take this as example ;)
I read an article some time ago about that, and most of the judges didn't even watch all the animation films. Also some of them based their decision on what film their kids have enjoyed more. It's a shame
Fun fact: Joe was told to make an "empty" music and he made this. Joe really did a great job in this cuz i felt that After a long journey of music with strong emotions, the music without emotion breaks in just like those spirits that came from the moon without understanding the feelings of kaguya and grandpa and grandma. Well, in moon, nobody experience emotions of joy and sadness like human on earth does.
@@nooringorilla4004 "It's empty"... according to Buddhist. Leave every of your emotions (Hatred, sadness and even joyce, love...) behind and come to Shangri-la....
My fave moments 1:12 The glockenspiel 1:23 The harp 1:42 So peaceful 4:54 Epic 9:09 Let's fly away 11:18 Happiness & Sadness 12:35 I love the triangle girl 💙 12:49 The legend is smiling and enjoying his own music 💛 (Wish u good health, Sir Joe Hisaishi 😍)
At 11:30, Joe was told to make music that was empty. Those spirits from moon does not experience the emotions of joy and sadness like human on earth does and this music really reflect that very well. Before 11:30, you experienced human's different, heavy and powerful emotions filled with joy, excitement and sadness. Then this music breaks in.
That’s it! It feels empty. I literally felt sick to the stomach when this started playing in the movie. It’s beautiful but there’s just something to it.
Guys I watched Princess Kaguya last night, and I cant remember the last time I cried so much over a movie like this. I weeped for a long time. The moon scene is particularly the one that touched me. The music was brilliant, I could not bring myself to listen till the end of the credit. Had to take a pause, listened again and cried again. It was truly an amazing movie, I never expected I will feel so much emotions just by watching it. Amazing drawing, story and songs. And I am still sad over the ending 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Isao Takahata had a different style to Miyazaki. One embraces reality using visual metaphors that often alter reality. The other one uses much more fantasy elements to make a story. They are completely different and yet, they both gave an extremely unique personality to Studio Ghibli.
Princess Kaguya is truly the most underappreciated Ghibli movie EVER. Jesus..if I saw the soundtrack performed like this, I would be beside myself sobbing. "Masterpiece" is an understatement. Hisaishi is incapable of composing anything forgettable or mediocre. This is the kind of music that shines a light on every inch of your soul.
1000brokenwings it is truly a master piece. After all these years, I keep finding myself returning to this movie. It haunts me. Nothing has ever made an impact this big in my life.
I don't agree with you. I was nominated for the OSCARS and won numerous awards. It's a unique picture with a beautiful art totally different from classic Studio Ghibli films.
9:39 I love how the music sounds so beautifully fragile, full of hope. Also love how Joe Hisaishi smiles at the same time, with a true and sincere smile. Really emotional movie and soundtrack.
A la memoria de mi muy amada hija, la cual me fue arrebatada, la que amé, la que amo y por siempre amaré. Duskita gracias por todo; en algún momento te alcanzaré.
This movie is so underrated ergggggggg!!!! I just want to go down to the street and hand down poster, begging people to see this. I swear it would be much better than Avatar (Cameron movie) or some shit like that.
actually don't think Kaguya and Avatar can be compared (btw hating avatar is a real commonplace right now) but in the field of animation - it's a crowning masterpiece; and if animation needs some excuse for existence - this is it, they really should invent animation at least to make this work of human mind, heart and spirit.
Do you guys have some others non-popular animation titles to recommend? My contribution: Wolf Children, The Thief and the Cobbler, Les triplettes de Belleville, L'illusionniste, Song of the Sea and The Secret of Kells
que alguien me explique como con una canción tan alegre como es cuando llega la gente de la luna, me dan tantas ganas de llorar! Maldita gente de la luna xD
Every single time I hear this movie's soundtrack, I get lost in the world of what I and I believe many consider the true essence of Studio Ghibli. It truly is such a pity it stopped, but their place in history is more than guarranteed. Thanks you Mr. Joe Hisaishi, for you opened gates to distant hills, extraordinary creatures and marvelous stories. Hope you live long and utterly happy.
Esta sinfonía me hace llorar de la emoción, especialmente las que suenan cuando la princesa Kaguya está triste y la que suena cuando viene el dios Buda con su legión celestial a llevarla de regreso a la luna me emociona tanto. Adoro este cuento y todo de la película en verdad es la mas hermosa de estudio Ghibli.
"Sprout" 1:42-3:40ish is just remarkable, Joe Hisaishi is a true master, Ghibli are just made for those who have a realistic heart and understanding how futile life really is x
El cuento de la princesa Kaguya es mi película favorita, tiene una animación preciosa, que da la sensación de ser un libro animado, la historia está maravillosamente contada, tanto que se cuentan pequeñas historias de fondo, y la música, esta música, es tan hermosa, cuando la escucho me dan ganas de llorar, y... el final, lloré como nunca, la música alegre y la gente sonriendo, sin sentir lo que sentían Kaguya y sus padres en ese momento, y al regresar a la luna, triste le queda corto y por eso la amo PD: definitivamente merecía el oscar a mejor animación, pero se lo dieron a "grandes héroes" PD2: D.E.P Isao Takahata
The Tale of Princess Kaguya is a beautiful film directed by the great animator Isao Takahata. The ending is so depressing and painful that I wish there's a sequel. Soundtrack is emotional. Everything about it is pefection.
Não acho que as minhas palavras conseguem expressar uma fração do que eu sinto, mas tudo que eu senti vendo A princesa Kaguya foi especial, intenso e tão profundo.. não sei nem dizer bem, o Studio Ghibli em si tem o dom de me deixar em outra realidade, sempre me aprofundo tanto assistindo, mas princesa Kaguya foi muito mais além, tudo me tocou, a animação, a relação dela, os momentos mais simples da obra como ela chorando e andando, o rapaz cortando a melancia. Tudo me tocou. E foi muito intenso, a única obra que me trespassou tanto. Admiração é a principal palavra que dou pra essa obra de arte, chorar foi o único jeito de transbordar o que eu sentia 19:20 05/09/22 uma obra de arte, minha animação-filme favorita
Eu compartilho do seu sentimento. Quando eu assisti a primeira vez, nos primeiros minutos vendo aquelas cenas aquareladas, simples e delicadas e as crianças começam a cantar na floresta, eu não sei o que aconteceu que meus olhos choraram. Não era tristeza (ainda) a história tava no início. Foram lágrimas de beleza com a arte manual + trilha sonora Eu tinha visto 10-15 minutos de filme... Mas já sabia que ali eu estava diante de uma daquelas obras primas que o mundo subestima Não tenho palavras melhores pra falar sobre esse filme . Capricho , delicadeza , espiritualidade , humanidade ... E ainda perdeu o Oscar. Lamentável
Saw this movie the other day and well,I thought it was as perfect as perfection can go. The music,the story,the original acting(voices)and the visuals....never saw a movie that every second was like a beautiful painting....love it.
un altro dei 1000 motivi per cui QUESTO film doveva vincere gli Oscar! Non c'è nulla da discutere: l'animazione è da patrimonio storico, disegni fatti a mano, con tanto olio di gomito e tanta pazienza, roba che se fai la minima sbavatura devi buttare centinaia di tavole preparate con fatica. I tratti leggermente tremolanti, inchiostrati e matitosi, i colori acquerello che cambiano assieme al tratto a seconda del mood della scena (la fuga dal palazzo è un capolavoro assoluto, pura perfezione stilistica e registica). La storia è qualcosa di troppo distante da noi beceri occidentali per poter essere apprezzata. Non vuole essere un film dalla trama intensa, ricca di svolte ed avvenimenti. Il film vuole ritrarre la vita di una creatura immacolata fatta bambina, destinata a diventare donna e che, proprio come un foglio bianco, potrà sperimentare ogni singola sfumatura della vita umana, dalla gioia alla tristezza, dalla soddisfazione alla collera più grande. Il ritmo è lento, perché bisogna sentire il peso che grava sempre di più sulle spalle della protagonista, ma bisogna anche mostrare allo spettatore tutto, senza esclusioni, caratterizzando ogni singolo istante della pellicola. L'approccio con gli amici, le delusioni, le piccole gioie, la rabbia, la depressione, il desiderio di fuga... Tutti elementi fondamentali che ogni giorno forgiano la vita di tutti noi. E la colonna sonora si commenta da sola. La scena in cui Kaguya e Sutemaru volano sui campi e sui monti mi dà i brividi, e poi la processione degli esseri celesti... Solo Hisaishi poteva dare forma ad una melodia tanto felice eppure tanto triste destinata a delle creature che queste emozioni non le possono provare. E questo mi piace da morire. La vittoria di Big Hero 6 è a mio parere profondamente ingiusta ma comprensibile. BH6 è un godibile film di intrattenimento, in grado di attrarre sia grandi che piccoli, mentre questo è palesemente un film pensato per adulti che vogliono impegnarsi, e purtroppo i critici dell'Academy pensano automaticamente Disney/Pixar=soldi=OSCAR!!! Chissà se un giorno capiranno che l'animazione è una tecnica, non un genere! Sarebbe come mettere nella categoria "bianco e nero" due film come "Frankenstein" e "Lolita" solo perché "entrambi sono fatti in bianco e nero quindi da vedere sono simili e questo ci basta per metterli in competizione!" Sogno una futura riedizione nei cinema di questi capolavori che grazie alla nostra efficientissima distribuzione sono stati in sala per due giorni in croce in piena settimana in qualche multisala irraggiungibile e con un prezzo di biglietto aumentato -_-
I LOVE 10:17. Seeing all of those grizzled professional violin players swaying with the power of the music’s crescendo shows the magic of Hisaishi’s compositions.
Ver al creador y compositor dirigiendo a la orquesta, me hace sentir privilegiado, estos vídeos deben guardarse para la posteridad, mi favorita es la agridulce The Procession of Celestial Beings, excelentísima película, excelentísimo soundtrack, Studio Ghibli produce verdaderas obras de arte!
Definitely worth two hours of my life and oh my goodness my entire life has been Ghibli Studio and Joe Hisaishi music. I am absolutely so grateful for these films and music.
Estas melodías tocan lo más profundo de mi ser y me transportan a mis momentos del pasado y me conmueve profundamente ...por más películas como la Princesa Kaguya
These are the real creaters of those all soundtracks ....man I bow down to all of you ....u people are just....((speachless))...really I'm thinking that most of the people just waste thier time by watching all other movies and ignore that type of movies coz they conclude that it's anime movie so eventually it's cartoon...man..I'm just begging that atleast watch them ...the emotions..the essence ...the aroma of that creation will overflow your heart with peace.......well I'm not gonna fill that comment section but give it a try to all of them.
I'm crying buckets. and that's just half the amount of crying and emotions I feel then if i'm watching the movie. Masterpiece doesn't even cut it. Soul lifting is a more fitting phrase to describe both the movie and the score.
This is the best ever, I could listen to this for days and days 😍 Then again that's true for everything Joe Hisaishi.... the man is a genius! Vera from Simple Happy Zen
Love this soundtrack so deeply! I basically come back here every week to hear it in looping since first watched the movie 3 years ago. It makes me smile, makes me cry and also perform a microdance sometimes 🤗Hugs from Brasil!
11:19 brings an unbearable onslaught of the celestial celebration, which is too ironic and leaves you with mixed feelings - the moment is so poignant but is accompanied by such ‘happy’ music! I’ve played this over and over.
Vraiment une oeuvre d'art et Joe Hisaishi fait la seule musique qui me transmette de telles émotions, même de joie et de sérénité à la fois et qui transportent et font voyager.
Este Señor es un puto genio y espero ansioso el momento en el que nos haga el honor de dar un concierto en España con ese grupo de músicos escepcionales.
