@@honeyandteacakes I'm pretty sure it's meant to symbolise how some people who die don't get to speak to the fullest to the people they love, and how some people may die, never letting their loved ones know what their true feelings are. 😭I am now crying again, excuse me for a sec
Actually she trigger the button by letting her emotions "scream" upon the moon when she got harassed by the emperor... so it was that ugly emperor's fault.
Her dad's actually at fault too tho and the Buddha if the Buddha didn't gave them all the gold or the gowns and the dad didn't take it she would've stayed in the forest and married sutemaru like srsly
Just rewatched it again. As they were flying off to the moon with this OST playing in the background I was just sitting there thinking "that's really kinda fucking dark".
haha this made me laugh. I thought so too. The music was in complete dissonance with the tragedy of the family being torn apart. I literally exclaimed "this ending sucks!" how dare that douche pretend there's anything to celebrate lol
It reflects the sentiments of the moon people who only know their joy and happiness as opposed to human sorrow, which they don't understand/find inconvenient.
The amazing genius contrast made in this film, where upbeat lifting music were used in a sad heartbreaking scene just left me boggled and in a weird state of emotions. It just shows how astonishingly superb this movie is.
To the residents of the moon bringing one of their own back to the moon with them, where that individual will forget all the ugliness of the mortals living on the Earth is a joyous occasion that should be celebrated. It's not surprising that the music sounds that way.
I think it's a metaphor to how utterly terrifying "perfection" is. We're humans born out of meat, screaming, wet and cold, against the stinging light. There's not much divine about our nature and the search for such a thing is a pointless endeavor. Sorry for romanticizing this a lot, but I feel like that's part of what they were trying to communicate.
Right? That was exactly my thought after seeing the film. So many praise the running scene, which remains an absolutely amazing scene. But it was THIS scene that left me with such a disturbing uneasiness because of that contrast and I was like "This is fuel for nightmare and it's so freaking brilliantly and beautifully thought and done, goshdangit!"
Rewatched this with a friend who hadn't watched it before and when this song came on while they were flying away, she looked at me like 'wtf is this shit this is so dark' and I was like 'ik deal with it'
Did anyone else feel a strange emotion when they heard the music and saw the cloud coming towards earth...? That entire scene felt so weird and emotional for me.
It was definitely intentional: the dissonance of enlightened celestials celebrating the return of one of their own , contrasted with the grief of very-human mortals struggling to prevent the loss of one of their own.
Yes, it felt kind of sinister. Made me really uneasy. It was a complex emotion that I can’t really name. A mix of sorrow, grief, awe, and wonder. The little song felt like that fake smile you get from someone who’s planning to k*ll themselves.
As they begin to play this during the ceremony, the crowd is helpless and can only watch as spirits descend from the sky and take your sleeping soul in the coffin to live with them.
It lost to Big Hero 6. It's because the academy people admitted that they don't watch all the submissions and basically pick the most popular one. That's why Frozen won the year before. Seeing that this is animation, I can see how they devalue it which is really pathetic on their behalf. Also, some dumbfuck in the Academy said they didn't watch this or Song of the Sea because they "don't like stupid Chinese shit" or something along those lines....
This anime was too good for us, mortals. After watching it, my brain was fucked. I was crying for severals days in row just by thinking of the ending. It's been 3 years and I'm here bawling my eyes out. My whole life has been changed by this movie. Serious shit.
the celestial beings are celebrating the return of their beloved princess of the moon, kaguya, so this music kinda shows their excitement, joy and all. It's heart wrenching because the old couples are the one raising her and all her memories are gone once they put that scarf thing (forgot what it's called).
That’s basically like saying “heaven is the bad guys”. “Oh, you _want_ to stay in this dirty realm full of selfish & greedy savages, with unnecessary emotions like grief & anger, and attachments that keep you stuck in the past while preventing you from moving on with your life?? Fine, it’s your life; hope you enjoy ‘literal hell’.”
Imagine this You, finding out your princess, your daughter, your friend is going to be taken against her will. You prepare yourselves with an army, each guard trained and ready to defend. You yourself and everyone around you on edge for the fight of your life against an unknown enemy. Battle ready. You see them descending from the sky. But they have no wepons, no elite army only a parade playing the cheery song of their victory. Arrows fly above you only to be, with no more effort than a wave of a hand, transformed into delicate flower that shower them and their instruments. Before the foot soldiers can even attack. They are, without expression or validation, dismissed. Everyone around you drops to sleep. The battle is over. Your daughter pleads begging for a chance to spread her words of regret and new found knowledge that the world is not defined by one thing. She preaches. A loyal follow of your enemy, undeterred by her words, trys to place a garment around her. They do not care that it would wipe away a human lifetime of knowledge. What she has discovered does not concern them, she is nothing but a rebellious child to be humored. They have existed for much longer than comprehensible. The princess cornered scrambled away for more time. They persist with grace and disregard her to once again place the garments on her shoulders. No one hears her but you and as she looks into your eyes, hoping, to tell you of your worth and love. The follower, discreetly from behind, gently places the garment on her shoulder. She is interrupted, she is silent, she gets up and walks away. The instruments start up again and with glory, flowers, and fanfare. You are powerless. The last interaction with your daughter was a sentence never completed as you looked into her eyes and saw everything in her life, any feelings, and any memory of you and your lives wiped away from her face. You are nothing. A puppet in a game someone set up for her to play just to be forgotten. It does not matter that she has your life and livelihood. A legacy. Because buddha is OP.
Interestingly, there's very similar resolutions in other Buddhist fantasy movies based old Chinese tales, like for example "The Sorcerer and the White Snake".
Kaguya in a nutshell Dad: oh it's glowing bamboo //baby pops out// Dad: oh it's a baby Dad: wife I found baby Wife: oh wow Dad: now I found gold Wife: oh wow //baby turns into princess// Princess: I hate fancy 5kings: we're 5 kings, we want to marry princess Dad: yes Princess: no Dad: yes Princess: ok find impossible things 5kings : we found impossible things Princess: its fake Empror : am empror I want to marry you Princess: no Empror: yes Princess: now am depressed Buddha : were aliens from moon were going to take ur baby Dad and wife: oh no //moon aliens took princess// The end
I mean the Celestials who took Kaguya has no sense of feeling, they dont know sadness. That made sense when this song is playing while they're taking her.
No , they have, they're rejoicing because their beloved princess is back ! Kaguya , in the moon , wanted attachment and longed for the earthly life , so she was sent with enough resources to survive. She saw first hand that attachment brings suffering. Now she is back and won't have to be caged in or sexually harassed.
I'm 30, I don't give a f**k, if it's a touching story I'll cry. I'm not sitting there making myself sick by holding it in, just so I can feel macho. If there was anything worth crying at it'd be heart wrenching stories like this. Beautiful film.
I think the movement the robe on her, she was enlightened in the meaning of Buddhism. She knew all these happinesses on earth is temporary. The mortal world run by greed for material and love and cyclically. Suffering always exists in this world, no human haven't and will not experience it.
And by the way, when i first saw the celestials i wonder why some of them look like a woman but they don't have breast. Now i know, arcording to Buddhist Sutta celestials have no sexes, they can choose their appearance, normally they choose to be a macho.
@@person45132 I asked AI for you. According to the Buddhist cosmology, there are three main types of heavenly realms: the kāmaloka, the rūpaloka, and the arūpaloka. These realms are different levels of existence that beings can be reborn in depending on their kamma (actions) and mental states1 The kāmaloka is the sensuous world, where beings experience sensual pleasures and pains. There are six heavenly realms in the kāmaloka, ranging from the lowest Cātummahārājika heaven (the abode of the four great kings) to the highest Paranimmita-vasavatti heaven (the abode of those who wield power over others’ creations). Beings in these realms have physical bodies and can engage in sexual activities, but they are also subject to aging, sickness, death, and rebirth1 The rūpaloka is the form world, where beings experience mental bliss and calmness. There are sixteen heavenly realms in the rūpaloka, corresponding to the four stages of jhāna (meditative absorption). Beings in these realms have subtle bodies made of light and do not have sexual organs or sexual desires. They are free from sensual attachments, but they still have some subtle forms of craving and ignorance1 The arūpaloka is the formless world, where beings experience pure consciousness without any physical or mental forms. There are four heavenly realms in the arūpaloka, corresponding to the four stages of arūpa jhāna (formless absorption). Beings in these realms have no bodies at all and do not have any sense of self or individuality. They are free from all forms of craving and attachment, but they still have some subtle forms of ignorance and delusion1 Therefore, out of the three types of heavenly realms, only the kāmaloka has gender, while the rūpaloka and the arūpaloka do not. However, Buddhism teaches that none of these realms are permanent or ultimate. They are all subject to impermanence and dissolution. The only way to escape from the cycle of rebirth in these realms is to attain nirvāṇa, the cessation of all suffering and defilements.
The whole scene was so much anxiety. Kaguya who was crying that they are coming for her and now she is just lured in. Her parents panicing instead of her. The moment she realized that it will happen, the moment the emperor touched her. She didn't want to die and yet it is like suicìde. She didn't go to the moon or went in peace, she just knew her life has to end because of her sadness and tragedy. The scene to me was pure anxiety and panic and not peacefull. Earth was her punishment and now they take her back to be free. But she realized earth wasn't all punishment and she wanted to enjoy it, but she couldn't.
While watching this movie for the first time I was in tears with this, but at the same time I was like: "Bruh, you expect me to enjoy this jolly ost while you rip me apart!?"
They represent buddhism ideals, I think it's even a criticism of it, IMO. It preaches detachment from connections to people or the world in order to avoid suffering and pain, which ultimately results in a lack of empathy, love or compassion because you need connection and attachment in order to feel those. Buddhist ideals result in a radical inwards orientation that makes it impossible to care about anything that happens around you, as you become blind or simply indifferent to the pain of others around you. The princess on the other hand had rebelled against that. She felt love and attachment to her family and to humans and animals, she was the opposite of the celestial beings
I think detachment comes from actually «completing» a problem and «getting it», like you cannot really get into a childs tantrums not because you are escaping it but because you have been there and know better.
I don't think Buddhism is about detachment or not caring about anything or anyone. Quite the opposite really. Being aware of the temporal and fleeing nature of things and people, you learn to give your all in the moment and only in the moment, then, when the moment is over (no matter how long it actually takes) gently set yourself - and everything else - free. I find it beautiful in that sense.
@@GannaAdel wow you are completely right about Buddhism. So many people in this comment section criticize the ending because they simply misunderstand the whole point.
@@GannaAdel detachment of worldly things though, like she got to live a super privileged lifestyle with the elites in kyoto but was completely dissatisfied the entire time because those worldly things practically imprisoned her, it was only when she was a country girl without worldly possessions that she was truly happy and free spirited, I personally felt like the theme of the movie was that the luxurious privileged lifestyle of the rich is imprisoning and that you can be perfectly happy with nothing
I believe that the ending demonstrates precisely that life is not only suffering or "filth" as the beings of the Moon said, but that, as Kaguya emphasizes, it is really the smallest and most beautiful things in the world that make life worthwhile. All the pageantry and the opulent masquerade, the interest in recognition or prestige divert and eclipse happiness. That's why the song talks about things as simple as an insect or flowers on a tree. Letting ourselves be impressed by its simple and changing beauty and sharing them with others is life.
If any of you are like me (still kinda curious as to what this movie's message was), My best guess is that since what happened to Kaguya similarly relates to what dying is like (not feeling anything), the movie's message is that it is never worth dying early and forgetting all the memories you had when your were still alive.
I take the message as that we crave for unnecessary material things (be them power, status, money) when all we need to be happy is already there in the present. As a princess of a higher realm this is how she came to Earth, her first years were of immense happiness because it represents still the mind as nature. Then she is taking to a society where a set of conditions and ilussions exist.
For me, the meaning was that you should see the beauty that is around us, the joy that living on this planet is and that our connection to nature is the most precious thing. We only have so much time.
I see it as that she could never accept the present and kept on wanted to go back to a past that could never happen even when she wanted to leave everything behind she realized that was a mistake I think the message is keep moving forward make your own future that you can control and don’t yearn for a time that will never be
I can understand people's feel when watching this scene,it's the reaction of most of us when our loved ones end their time on earth.The feeling of helplessness,sad but happy when our loved ones no longer suffer any more,death is cruel but it also makes life meaningful
THIS SCENE WAS SO SAD AND EVEN THOUGH THE MUSIC WAS SO BEAUTIFULLY HAPPY THE ONLY THING I COULD DO WAS SOB EVEN MORE LETTING TEARS FALL LIKE WATERFALLS
The one and only time I wept openly in a theater, on a date early in a relationship no less. After the long and heavy journey this movie puts you through and the extent to which you’ve identified with the parents and the princess, the sense of finality and loss here would be enough to hit hard by itself. But the disarming, uncanny, dissonant, emotionally confusing context here pushes it over the edge. There’s something deeply wrong with it, and the music, with its clashing moods and connotations captures and augments that feeling. You kinda have no choice but to let the raw experience wash over you.
When I heard this music in the movie I bawled my eyes out because I immediately understood it was portraying the bittersweet realization that when someone (a loved one) dies they are free from suffering. I didn't think it was "alienating" or "infuriating". In fact that anger was portrayed in a humpty dumpty style where the army fires the arrows at the moon parade, so I still understood that perspective.
The contrast of the happy spiritual music with the loss of Kaguya is honestly very frightening. Ghibli is very good at mixing of opposite tones to create something confusing or beautiful which is something I just love about their art.
I can't avoid to feel the general backlash for this scene as undeserved. The intention of the film is to dramatically flip the japanese tale with a child-related, femenine touch. While the main achievement of the original legend is shaping japanese culture, the story in Ghibli's Tale of Princess Kaguya instead delivers how similar is the end of childhood as the lose of a divine condition. Princess's initial happiness is not to last, as life holds a defined, small place in its world for her divine (pure or child-like, if you may) condition. She constantly rejects her place until she's defeated, for even the most notorious among adults longs her purity. Her ultimate rapture finally triggers her obliteration from the world, in the form of bliss and peace. A place unachievable for men, where the mind shines and the body is turned to a mere conduit. We may call it suicide, death, or even the "end of wonder"; for the essence of Kaguya doesn't belong to our flawed and shallow world. So she's forced to leave humanity one way or another, for her pureness may rest in the monochromatic ways of the moon: oblivion.
+Cristóbal Avendaño " the story in Ghibli's Tale of Princess Kaguya instead delivers how similar is the end of childhood as the lose of a divine condition" great way of putting it :D
Certainly not in agreement. Since we're speaking about purity, then I would actually say that Kaguya returning to the Moon is actually the re-awakening of her pure nature. Living here on Earth she was able to experience love as daughter. Once returning, she acknowledges her love extends to all the universe.
I see it as she never wanted to stay in the present and kept on holding on to memories of the past and longed for a life that would never be able to happen it kept on paining her to the point where she had to forget everything to become “pure”. I’m pretty sure that they wanted to stay close to the Japanese legend as possible so that’s why the ending is the way it is.
I'm so glad my 4 year old comment sparked others to share their impressions about The Tale of Princess Kaguya. I've seen it many more times and I plan to keep doing so. I gathered more to analyse from it of course, and that's what has been fun about it! Even though it's a straight forward tale about a life being lived, there's so much room to interpretation and brainstorming. :) I could now add that the main source of tragedy in the story seems to be *distinctions.* Princess's world is progressively taken away because of her condition as royalty, as a woman, and her divinity. And that includes the spiritual entourage that claims her back to the moon, for they make no distinction for her whatsoever (perhaps a critique to the total dettachment from mundane affairs natural to philosophies and spirituality from the far east). It is a sad outcome, yet I suspect the story suggest where happiness lies in such conumdrum; and it may be childhood, but I think it's more about how careless about our own condition we are as children. We just are, and everything else just is, and our greatest experiences are from our interactions with no ulterior considerations. And in such logic, that moral ends up being cautionary rather than a straight "answer" to the sorrows the tale presents. For, how could we exactly find that happiness where sooner or later ours or others' inherent obsessions with distinctions will rule our lives? Is balance something we can even grasp with our human nature? I therefore think the film is a mature call to mindfulness about ourselves and our understanding of things by showing us that even a divine origin won't keep our child-within from withering away.
Gosh this is the tenth times I watch this video and this thug Budha never fail to make me LOL. If Sidharta is here, I think he'll burst in laugh too,,,,very well done!
One day we will all leave like she did and it will be painful for those who love us but for us we will remember nothing as if we will get enlightened and feel nothing is good or bad. Its just is what it is.
The song is what you feel like when you got depressed from your miseries of your life then your brain gets to mature and even if you feel pain it doesn't feel heavy anymore when time heals the wounds and still had feelings about the bad happenings in the past
It sounds very similarly to samsung alarm and it hits me with sad feeling of waking up to work just like the damn irony of how happy it sounds yet enrages me so bad while watching this scene.
Not all battles are worth fighting for.Onlu you can be responsible for your own happiness,not the people or society.And never use a person as a means to your expectations
Poor kaguya......i just wanted her to go back to the village and live with sutemaru ni-chan and other friends ........those were the most lively scenes I had ever witnessed in my life 😔
If the bamboo did not have gold and kimonos in them she would still be happy and playing freely. This scene made me feel so conflicted, I really thought we would have a good ending. I never felt so angry and sad so many times from a film.
The gold was meant to give them a happy life . The parents thought " status= happiness" , basically all earthlings think like that . They just didn't have to be greedy and everyone could be happy.
I believe the moral story of this movie is to not waste any time that we spend on this earth, live to achieve our own happiness and not others as we only have one life and if our time has come to die, there won’t be any second chances, only one life, one chance. This movie is the best animated movie for me, everything is so perfect.
There are alot of ways to interpret this movie. I interpreted it as a comment on country life vs life in high society (which is admittedly simplistic) My girlfriend viewed it as a commentary on the damage that can be done when parents force their expectations on to their children, instead of letting them live their own lives.
Reminded me of my favorite music vid where she is an artist who got bullied her whole life and realized only her can give true happiness to herself and watches her childhood self in her childhood toy, it's symbolic....The moon princess is like your inner child,still having hope and never stop wishing for good things even though your adult body is bombarded with hurt and misery

Sadness and happiness are just two sides of the same coin. Life is the mixture of both, the climax scene captured it beautifully! The moon people are happy that one of their own is coming back but the earthlings are sad because one of their own is departing.
This makes me think this is what the Rapture will be like, except no Buddha, only born again believers in Christ both dead and alive, and will all take place in a twinkling of an eye. This got the happiness for the raptured and the sadness for those on the earth right on point when it does happen, sooner than anyone might expect.
The scene where this music plays really f*cked with my emotion I mean, if I closed my ears it’s Ju-On but if I closed my eyes it’s like riding in Disneyland’s “It’s A Small World”
I love that people are raging over this scene. It is if they didn't understand what the movie was about. They're in the same mentality as Kaguya's father who thinks he can prevent, what essentially is, the death of his daughter with anger and brute force. Death doesn't care about your petty feelings. It just does its thing. Cherish life and your loved ones while you can.
Plot twist: Kaguya gets tired of all the assholes’ shit, and returns to earth as an asshole of her own. Then ninja assholes beat her up and trap her back on the moon. Then she comes back yet again, and becomes an uber asshole, only to be beat up again by yet more ninja assholes.
The title and video are hilarious... but underneath all of my laughter there's still deep pain. At least in some versions of the story she goes freely and the ending is a bit happier...
Japanese: Actually understand the importance of the moon and respect this godly being Americans: yo, that moon asshole guy is trying to take that girl, light him up. Sorry but the title of the vid killed me lmaoo
At least it's good to know that in the original story kaguya got extremely depressed because she was secretly longing for the moon and to go home...so.... Yay?
I watched this when I was like six and this scene with this music scared me for life like I just remember sitting in tears looking at the screen like wtf is this for a happy ending.
The celestials flying away with Kaguya into the sky and playing this happy music the entire time was the BIGGEST middle finger to her parents and the audience 💀
Earlier in the film, the father takes her away from a modest village in the forest. They move into a palace. The ending of the film is the very same archetype coming to expression.

the celestial beings are celebrating the return of their beloved princess of the moon, kaguya, so this music kinda shows their excitement, joy and all. It's heart wrenching because the old couples are the one raising her and all her memories are gone once they put that scarf thing (forgot what it's called).

Too much of anything is bad. Only the Sith deal in absolutes.
That’s basically like saying “heaven is the bad guys”.
“Oh, you _want_ to stay in this dirty realm full of selfish & greedy savages, with unnecessary emotions like grief & anger, and attachments that keep you stuck in the past while preventing you from moving on with your life?? Fine, it’s your life; hope you enjoy ‘literal hell’.”
G-Spot Gabe 2.0 as said many times before, that statement itself is absolute.
Imagine someone kidnaps your daughter just to leave with fucking ringtone music
Death do be like that
Imagine this
You, finding out your princess, your daughter, your friend is going to be taken against her will.
You prepare yourselves with an army, each guard trained and ready to defend. You yourself and everyone around you on edge for the fight of your life against an unknown enemy. Battle ready.
You see them descending from the sky. But they have no wepons, no elite army only a parade playing the cheery song of their victory. Arrows fly above you only to be, with no more effort than a wave of a hand, transformed into delicate flower that shower them and their instruments. Before the foot soldiers can even attack. They are, without expression or validation, dismissed. Everyone around you drops to sleep. The battle is over.
Your daughter pleads begging for a chance to spread her words of regret and new found knowledge that the world is not defined by one thing. She preaches. A loyal follow of your enemy, undeterred by her words, trys to place a garment around her. They do not care that it would wipe away a human lifetime of knowledge. What she has discovered does not concern them, she is nothing but a rebellious child to be humored. They have existed for much longer than comprehensible.
The princess cornered scrambled away for more time. They persist with grace and disregard her to once again place the garments on her shoulders. No one hears her but you and as she looks into your eyes, hoping, to tell you of your worth and love. The follower, discreetly from behind, gently places the garment on her shoulder. She is interrupted, she is silent, she gets up and walks away.
The instruments start up again and with glory, flowers, and fanfare. You are powerless. The last interaction with your daughter was a sentence never completed as you looked into her eyes and saw everything in her life, any feelings, and any memory of you and your lives wiped away from her face. You are nothing. A puppet in a game someone set up for her to play just to be forgotten. It does not matter that she has your life and livelihood. A legacy. Because buddha is OP.
Yeah! Buddha's a freaking loser!

Freaking True LOL
Wow..
I mean the Celestials who took Kaguya has no sense of feeling, they dont know sadness. That made sense when this song is playing while they're taking her.
No , they have, they're rejoicing because their beloved princess is back ! Kaguya , in the moon , wanted attachment and longed for the earthly life , so she was sent with enough resources to survive. She saw first hand that attachment brings suffering. Now she is back and won't have to be caged in or sexually harassed.
Not ashamed to admit: 30 years old, consider myself rather manly.
Still makes me cry angry tears to hear this tune of celestial abduction...
Crying isn’t not manly
Crying is human nature and human nature teaching people how to feel it’s not define between men and women animal mammal life form.
Embrace the tears. Kaguya would.
Do it for her.
@@diobrando1131 Being stupid isn't manly either.
I'm 30, I don't give a f**k, if it's a touching story I'll cry. I'm not sitting there making myself sick by holding it in, just so I can feel macho.
If there was anything worth crying at it'd be heart wrenching stories like this. Beautiful film.
when i was watching this, i can decide wether i should cry or dancing ...
Why not both?

ProMeth,Thank you. Have a wonderful day.
I think the movement the robe on her, she was enlightened in the meaning of Buddhism. She knew all these happinesses on earth is temporary. The mortal world run by greed for material and love and cyclically. Suffering always exists in this world, no human haven't and will not experience it.
And by the way, when i first saw the celestials i wonder why some of them look like a woman but they don't have breast. Now i know, arcording to Buddhist Sutta celestials have no sexes, they can choose their appearance, normally they choose to be a macho.
@@person45132 I asked AI for you.
According to the Buddhist cosmology, there are three main types of heavenly realms: the kāmaloka, the rūpaloka, and the arūpaloka. These realms are different levels of existence that beings can be reborn in depending on their kamma (actions) and mental states1
The kāmaloka is the sensuous world, where beings experience sensual pleasures and pains. There are six heavenly realms in the kāmaloka, ranging from the lowest Cātummahārājika heaven (the abode of the four great kings) to the highest Paranimmita-vasavatti heaven (the abode of those who wield power over others’ creations). Beings in these realms have physical bodies and can engage in sexual activities, but they are also subject to aging, sickness, death, and rebirth1
The rūpaloka is the form world, where beings experience mental bliss and calmness. There are sixteen heavenly realms in the rūpaloka, corresponding to the four stages of jhāna (meditative absorption). Beings in these realms have subtle bodies made of light and do not have sexual organs or sexual desires. They are free from sensual attachments, but they still have some subtle forms of craving and ignorance1
The arūpaloka is the formless world, where beings experience pure consciousness without any physical or mental forms. There are four heavenly realms in the arūpaloka, corresponding to the four stages of arūpa jhāna (formless absorption). Beings in these realms have no bodies at all and do not have any sense of self or individuality. They are free from all forms of craving and attachment, but they still have some subtle forms of ignorance and delusion1
Therefore, out of the three types of heavenly realms, only the kāmaloka has gender, while the rūpaloka and the arūpaloka do not. However, Buddhism teaches that none of these realms are permanent or ultimate. They are all subject to impermanence and dissolution. The only way to escape from the cycle of rebirth in these realms is to attain nirvāṇa, the cessation of all suffering and defilements.
Moon: You know that daughter you had?
Crying father:...Yes?
Moon: Mine now
* Happy music plays *
Bish im so sad rn but that made me choke on air at how funny that was
YOINK
+1000 points for you for this title/image
The whole scene was so much anxiety. Kaguya who was crying that they are coming for her and now she is just lured in. Her parents panicing instead of her. The moment she realized that it will happen, the moment the emperor touched her. She didn't want to die and yet it is like suicìde. She didn't go to the moon or went in peace, she just knew her life has to end because of her sadness and tragedy.
The scene to me was pure anxiety and panic and not peacefull. Earth was her punishment and now they take her back to be free. But she realized earth wasn't all punishment and she wanted to enjoy it, but she couldn't.
That’s…the punishment
She became institutionalised by the Earth.
Kaguya was here.
"Moon Asshole Music" I can't believe I acctually searched for it and gave me the results I was expecting.
While watching this movie for the first time I was in tears with this, but at the same time I was like:
"Bruh, you expect me to enjoy this jolly ost while you rip me apart!?"
This music is pure genius. Putting such an happy tone in a very sad moment elevate the scene and makes it memorable ❤️
This isn't as rare as you might think, this tactic is often used to convey a sense of discomfort with a falsely happy scene.
I SHOULDNT LAUGH
I feel like this song really encapsulates the saying "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
but... but what if you don't remenber what happened?
They represent buddhism ideals, I think it's even a criticism of it, IMO. It preaches detachment from connections to people or the world in order to avoid suffering and pain, which ultimately results in a lack of empathy, love or compassion because you need connection and attachment in order to feel those. Buddhist ideals result in a radical inwards orientation that makes it impossible to care about anything that happens around you, as you become blind or simply indifferent to the pain of others around you.
The princess on the other hand had rebelled against that. She felt love and attachment to her family and to humans and animals, she was the opposite of the celestial beings
Well said
I think detachment comes from actually «completing» a problem and «getting it», like you cannot really get into a childs tantrums not because you are escaping it but because you have been there and know better.
I don't think Buddhism is about detachment or not caring about anything or anyone. Quite the opposite really. Being aware of the temporal and fleeing nature of things and people, you learn to give your all in the moment and only in the moment, then, when the moment is over (no matter how long it actually takes) gently set yourself - and everything else - free. I find it beautiful in that sense.
@@GannaAdel wow you are completely right about Buddhism. So many people in this comment section criticize the ending because they simply misunderstand the whole point.
@@GannaAdel detachment of worldly things though, like she got to live a super privileged lifestyle with the elites in kyoto but was completely dissatisfied the entire time because those worldly things practically imprisoned her, it was only when she was a country girl without worldly possessions that she was truly happy and free spirited, I personally felt like the theme of the movie was that the luxurious privileged lifestyle of the rich is imprisoning and that you can be perfectly happy with nothing
I believe that the ending demonstrates precisely that life is not only suffering or "filth" as the beings of the Moon said, but that, as Kaguya emphasizes, it is really the smallest and most beautiful things in the world that make life worthwhile. All the pageantry and the opulent masquerade, the interest in recognition or prestige divert and eclipse happiness. That's why the song talks about things as simple as an insect or flowers on a tree. Letting ourselves be impressed by its simple and changing beauty and sharing them with others is life.
This video helped me emotionally cope thank you
DEFINITELY SAME
If any of you are like me (still kinda curious as to what this movie's message was), My best guess is that since what happened to Kaguya similarly relates to what dying is like (not feeling anything), the movie's message is that it is never worth dying early and forgetting all the memories you had when your were still alive.
I take the message as that we crave for unnecessary material things (be them power, status, money) when all we need to be happy is already there in the present. As a princess of a higher realm this is how she came to Earth, her first years were of immense happiness because it represents still the mind as nature. Then she is taking to a society where a set of conditions and ilussions exist.
Justin Luc ur still a kid...
For me, the meaning was that you should see the beauty that is around us, the joy that living on this planet is and that our connection to nature is the most precious thing. We only have so much time.
I see it as that she could never accept the present and kept on wanted to go back to a past that could never happen even when she wanted to leave everything behind she realized that was a mistake I think the message is keep moving forward make your own future that you can control and don’t yearn for a time that will never be
I can understand people's feel when watching this scene,it's the reaction of most of us when our loved ones end their time on earth.The feeling of helplessness,sad but happy when our loved ones no longer suffer any more,death is cruel but it also makes life meaningful
THIS SCENE WAS SO SAD AND EVEN THOUGH THE MUSIC WAS SO BEAUTIFULLY HAPPY THE ONLY THING I COULD DO WAS SOB EVEN MORE LETTING TEARS FALL LIKE WATERFALLS
If only those men just stopped bothering her with their bullshit then all of this would never happen.
Just leave the poor girl alone.
The one and only time I wept openly in a theater, on a date early in a relationship no less. After the long and heavy journey this movie puts you through and the extent to which you’ve identified with the parents and the princess, the sense of finality and loss here would be enough to hit hard by itself. But the disarming, uncanny, dissonant, emotionally confusing context here pushes it over the edge. There’s something deeply wrong with it, and the music, with its clashing moods and connotations captures and augments that feeling. You kinda have no choice but to let the raw experience wash over you.
Well said! You've summed it up pretty well.
It’s not the fact that she went home it’s that she forgot abt everyone and they’ll always remember her, so sad
nah, theyd forget her when they die lol
When I heard this music in the movie I bawled my eyes out because I immediately understood it was portraying the bittersweet realization that when someone (a loved one) dies they are free from suffering. I didn't think it was "alienating" or "infuriating". In fact that anger was portrayed in a humpty dumpty style where the army fires the arrows at the moon parade, so I still understood that perspective.
The contrast of the happy spiritual music with the loss of Kaguya is honestly very frightening. Ghibli is very good at mixing of opposite tones to create something confusing or beautiful which is something I just love about their art.
I can't avoid to feel the general backlash for this scene as undeserved. The intention of the film is to dramatically flip the japanese tale with a child-related, femenine touch. While the main achievement of the original legend is shaping japanese culture, the story in Ghibli's Tale of Princess Kaguya instead delivers how similar is the end of childhood as the lose of a divine condition.
Princess's initial happiness is not to last, as life holds a defined, small place in its world for her divine (pure or child-like, if you may) condition. She constantly rejects her place until she's defeated, for even the most notorious among adults longs her purity. Her ultimate rapture finally triggers her obliteration from the world, in the form of bliss and peace. A place unachievable for men, where the mind shines and the body is turned to a mere conduit. We may call it suicide, death, or even the "end of wonder"; for the essence of Kaguya doesn't belong to our flawed and shallow world.
So she's forced to leave humanity one way or another, for her pureness may rest in the monochromatic ways of the moon: oblivion.
+Cristóbal Avendaño " the story in Ghibli's Tale of Princess Kaguya instead delivers how similar is the end of childhood as the lose of a divine condition" great way of putting it :D
Certainly not in agreement.
Since we're speaking about purity, then I would actually say that Kaguya returning to the Moon is actually the re-awakening of her pure nature. Living here on Earth she was able to experience love as daughter. Once returning, she acknowledges her love extends to all the universe.
Cristóbal Avendaño I wish my english was good enough to understand this
I see it as she never wanted to stay in the present and kept on holding on to memories of the past and longed for a life that would never be able to happen it kept on paining her to the point where she had to forget everything to become “pure”. I’m pretty sure that they wanted to stay close to the Japanese legend as possible so that’s why the ending is the way it is.
I'm so glad my 4 year old comment sparked others to share their impressions about The Tale of Princess Kaguya. I've seen it many more times and I plan to keep doing so. I gathered more to analyse from it of course, and that's what has been fun about it! Even though it's a straight forward tale about a life being lived, there's so much room to interpretation and brainstorming. :)
I could now add that the main source of tragedy in the story seems to be *distinctions.* Princess's world is progressively taken away because of her condition as royalty, as a woman, and her divinity. And that includes the spiritual entourage that claims her back to the moon, for they make no distinction for her whatsoever (perhaps a critique to the total dettachment from mundane affairs natural to philosophies and spirituality from the far east). It is a sad outcome, yet I suspect the story suggest where happiness lies in such conumdrum; and it may be childhood, but I think it's more about how careless about our own condition we are as children. We just are, and everything else just is, and our greatest experiences are from our interactions with no ulterior considerations.
And in such logic, that moral ends up being cautionary rather than a straight "answer" to the sorrows the tale presents. For, how could we exactly find that happiness where sooner or later ours or others' inherent obsessions with distinctions will rule our lives? Is balance something we can even grasp with our human nature? I therefore think the film is a mature call to mindfulness about ourselves and our understanding of things by showing us that even a divine origin won't keep our child-within from withering away.
Gosh this is the tenth times I watch this video and this thug Budha never fail to make me LOL. If Sidharta is here, I think he'll burst in laugh too,,,,very well done!
One day we will all leave like she did and it will be painful for those who love us but for us we will remember nothing as if we will get enlightened and feel nothing is good or bad. Its just is what it is.
I love how aggressively verging on obnoxiously repetitive this happy tune is. Joe Hisaishi knew what he was doing :D
It’s literally as annoying as you could get including how the flute is playing and still call it a legitimate piece of music
I love it
I love how you can see the glimmer in her eyes fade away.
The song is what you feel like when you got depressed from your miseries of your life then your brain gets to mature and even if you feel pain it doesn't feel heavy anymore when time heals the wounds and still had feelings about the bad happenings in the past
Even as a buddhist,I lost my temper when the tune started.
P.S.My religion is not shinto.
It sounds very similarly to samsung alarm and it hits me with sad feeling of waking up to work just like the damn irony of how happy it sounds yet enrages me so bad while watching this scene.
My reaction: Okay Kaguya is stating the moral of the movie and... what seriously? ;_;
labrynianrebel
LMAOOOO 😂😂😂
Hahahahha yea
Not all battles are worth fighting for.Onlu you can be responsible for your own happiness,not the people or society.And never use a person as a means to your expectations
Doctor : u have a few second left, what is your last wish
Me : *playing this song
Doctor : but it's 2 minutes...
God : I'll wait
God is the one playing it.
Budha: The problem in your strategy to protect your daughter, Miyatsuko, is that you forgot to calculate the fuck I don't give.
😂😂😂🙏
😂
This is the Buddha equivalent of “shut up and get in the car.”
this movie gave such a moment that u even felt like kicking god ass
The music is so happy and joyful, but you´re supposed to feel angry and sad... is like being spitted on the face.
Poor kaguya......i just wanted her to go back to the village and live with sutemaru ni-chan and other friends
........those were the most lively scenes I had ever witnessed in my life 😔
The Woman with the blanket is like: shut up you’re going home
it's not a blanket, it's the heavenly raiment (hagoromo)
If the bamboo did not have gold and kimonos in them she would still be happy and playing freely. This scene made me feel so conflicted, I really thought we would have a good ending. I never felt so angry and sad so many times from a film.
I think that’s meant to emphasize that even with magical resources everyone is fucked because everyone dies
The gold was meant to give them a happy life . The parents thought " status= happiness" , basically all earthlings think like that . They just didn't have to be greedy and everyone could be happy.
This needs to get more views! So sad and funny at the same time
This is like the Heian equivalent of the coffin dance.
I believe the moral story of this movie is to not waste any time that we spend on this earth, live to achieve our own happiness and not others as we only have one life and if our time has come to die, there won’t be any second chances, only one life, one chance.
This movie is the best animated movie for me, everything is so perfect.
There are alot of ways to interpret this movie. I interpreted it as a comment on country life vs life in high society (which is admittedly simplistic)
My girlfriend viewed it as a commentary on the damage that can be done when parents force their expectations on to their children, instead of letting them live their own lives.
Reminded me of my favorite music vid where she is an artist who got bullied her whole life and realized only her can give true happiness to herself and watches her childhood self in her childhood toy, it's symbolic....The moon princess is like your inner child,still having hope and never stop wishing for good things even though your adult body is bombarded with hurt and misery

The title. The rage. You're a f***ing genius.
May the legendary master rest in peace.
Every thing just pauses whenever I hear this music. Still can't get over that tragic ending :(
Sadness and happiness are just two sides of the same coin. Life is the mixture of both, the climax scene captured it beautifully!
The moon people are happy that one of their own is coming back but the earthlings are sad because one of their own is departing.
This makes me think this is what the Rapture will be like, except no Buddha, only born again believers in Christ both dead and alive, and will all take place in a twinkling of an eye. This got the happiness for the raptured and the sadness for those on the earth right on point when it does happen, sooner than anyone might expect.
shoutout to the celestial woman for putting on the robe and not understanding the meaning of wait
Would you want her to stay in toxic relationships where she feels the burden of remembering the pain?
Budda was like: "nope, you made me come all the way down here to get you. You mess with my Chi - you deal with it!"
They dont even let her finish her last moments 😅
The scene where this music plays really f*cked with my emotion I mean, if I closed my ears it’s Ju-On but if I closed my eyes it’s like riding in Disneyland’s “It’s A Small World”
I love that people are raging over this scene. It is if they didn't understand what the movie was about. They're in the same mentality as Kaguya's father who thinks he can prevent, what essentially is, the death of his daughter with anger and brute force. Death doesn't care about your petty feelings. It just does its thing. Cherish life and your loved ones while you can.
Plot twist:
Kaguya gets tired of all the assholes’ shit, and returns to earth as an asshole of her own.
Then ninja assholes beat her up and trap her back on the moon.
Then she comes back yet again, and becomes an uber asshole, only to be beat up again by yet more ninja assholes.
Ahahaha Naruto
Mortal world : cries
Moon God : ...
The begining of this movie was beautiful, and then that ending made me feel empty
The title and video are hilarious... but underneath all of my laughter there's still deep pain.
At least in some versions of the story she goes freely and the ending is a bit happier...
Japanese: Actually understand the importance of the moon and respect this godly being
Americans: yo, that moon asshole guy is trying to take that girl, light him up.
Sorry but the title of the vid killed me lmaoo
This music makes me cry
So that's how it feels to get killed by kindness.
That picture....I must have it....
Those moon assholes. Let Kaguya Sama choose!
This title encapsulates my feelings about this song so much better than the original.
Hilarious! So happy to read the comments and see people reacted just like I did when I first watched this movie.
You know that meme where Toby Maguire laughs and cries at the same time? That’s how I feel watching this video.
At least it's good to know that in the original story kaguya got extremely depressed because she was secretly longing for the moon and to go home...so....
Yay?
That description is too good.
I play this video to my kid when he is supposed to go nap but he wants to keep playing. It works. It calms him down. 😎
This film is a masterpiece by Isao Takahata. One of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen.
I watched this when I was like six and this scene with this music scared me for life like I just remember sitting in tears looking at the screen like wtf is this for a happy ending.
The celestials flying away with Kaguya into the sky and playing this happy music the entire time was the BIGGEST middle finger to her parents and the audience 💀
Earlier in the film, the father takes her away from a modest village in the forest. They move into a palace. The ending of the film is the very same archetype coming to expression.
Six years after this was uploaded and I still laugh whenever I see the title 💖
This music and the scene is just weird af. Feel like it’s mocking you.
Yes exactly. The music has no feelings in it either.
best vid ever, best explanation box ever
The song went from happy+sad to funny 😂😂
thanks, this made me feel a lil better after my heart got ripped out after that ending...
Glad I can still search 'asshole moon god' and find this.
