The Tale of the Princess Kaguya: Difference between revisions

* [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: The desaturation variation is used to represent {{spoiler|the plainness and boringness of life in space and on the moon. At the end of the film, the colours become mute and desaturated to reflect Princess Kaguya leaving behind her nuanced life on Earth as well as the absence of colour in space.}}

* [[Deranged Animation]]: The animation style of the film adapts to Kaguya's emotions. In the scene where Kaguya runs away from the capital, the animation style becomes rough, unpolished, and uneven to reflect her sudden anger. Near the end of the film, when Kaguya reunites with Sutemaru, they run away together, and this is shown as them flying through the landscape. {{spoiler|Sutemaru's later [[All Just a Dream]] scene makes the flying scene more unnatural.}} In addition, the last scene {{spoiler|when Princess Kaguya is being taken away to the moon}} feature plenty of usage of this trope, involving people running across water and sitting on clouds.

* [[Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler|Princess Kaguya forgets all memories of Earth and is taken to the Moon, where she cannot feel any more emotions or play in nature. As she flies towards the moon, she turns back and glances back at Earth with teary eyes, longing to return but never knowing why.}}

* [[Easy Amnesia]]: Perhaps one of the easiest methods to induce amnesia in any piece of media: {{spoiler|simply putting on a robe}}.
