Love myths and legends like Bamboo Story and Celtic Sea Lion Spirit, such ancient stories make me feel closer to the origin of the world. Speaking of origins, in fact, the Genesis of religion, various legends in literary myths, the Big Bang in physics and the recently discovered gravitational waves are actually different ways of looking at the origin of the world. These methods go hand in hand and do not criticize each other. No one would say that it can only be viewed in terms of physics, and that myths and legends are not important. Interestingly, common motifs appear in both Chinese and Western myths and legends. Taking Kaguya Story and Song of the Ocean as examples, the MacGuffin of the two stories, that is, the starting point of the story, lies in the 1. Immortals fall into the mortal world 2. After experiencing the mortal world, they return to the fairy world and the image of the immortals is always pinned on animals and plants, such as the seals in the song of the sea and the bamboo in the story of Kaguya, and they are expressed in female images.
The plot of Kaguya Story and Song of the Sea may be more intriguing, because it is not as clear-cut as Song of the Sea-the sister who overcomes many obstacles to save the seal elf on the road, and gets emotional life. As a two-hour animation, it seems slightly procrastinated and deliberately protracted, whether it is the five princes coming to marry, or the various weaving dialogue scenes with the mother in the small vegetable garden in the middle. But I believe that patient audiences still love this slow and slow tone, and the rich emotions contained in it: rivers and lakes and temples, motherhood and fatherhood, love and miss... As Kaguya herself said, she came This world is to experience the feeling of being alive. She doesn't need to save other souls like the siblings in Song of the Sea [which is the epitome of the Western Superman image], she just needs to experience what it's like to be alive. What the audience wants under the surface of the story of Bamboo Story is actually the feeling of "being alive".
