The Tale of the Princess Kaguya
Posted on March 27, 2015 by Calvin	Posted in Film Society	— 2 Comments ↓
I love Studio Ghibli they developed some of my favourite films of all time and it is by far my favourite film series of all time, even though the films don't technically connect with one another. Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle are definitely two of my top ten favourite films and I really don't think there is a bad one in the bunch. I even like Tales from Earthsea and I am fairly certain I am in a minority on that one. Every time they bring out a film it is excellent and American and British distributors get the best voice talent and translators to work the film to an international audience. It's why it's such a shame that the studio has now gone into hiatus and if the next two films that they are releasing are, at this point in time, to be their final ones it will definitely be a sad moment for films. However, we now have the Tale of the Princess Kaguya to enjoy. This is much like last years The Wind Rises (which, if you look on my top ten movies of 2014, was my number one), is to serve as the final directorial feature for one of Studio Ghibli's founders, in this case Grave of the Fireflies and Pom Poko director Isao Takahata. The film gained a lot of notoriety upon its release in America in October, but there wasn't any news of a release for us in the UK up until the beginning of this year where it was announced it would be a March release which has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that they thought at that point that the film was going to be nominated for a few Oscars. Incidentally the film was nominated for best animated feature film at the Oscars, however it lost to the previously reviewed Big Hero 6. With all the build up and the hype surrounding it and the fact that it had to live up to the studio's reputation and took 8 years to make how did this film fare up?
Let's discuss the plot. The film centres around a bamboo cutter, voiced by James Caan who one day discovers in the bamboo growth a small princess doll who eventually grows into an actual human baby, voiced by Chloe Grace Moretz. He takes the child home and raises it with his wife voiced by Mary Steenburgen and they slowly notice that the child is growing fast, like bamboo, earning her the nickname among her friends of 'Little Bamboo'. After the bamboo cutter discovers gold and fine garments in the bamboo growth as well he believes it's his duty to take the Princess Kaguya to the capital and to make her an actual princess, believing that this will make her happy. So they pack up and leave the countryside behind to make her the genuine article. The problem is, this now leaves Kaguya feeling trapped and she has to balance what her father wants with what she wants. That may sound like I have given away most of the plot but I really haven't, there is a lot going on in this film, especially around identity and what makes oneself. Kaguya constantly feels trapped and that she is wearing a mask and constantly questions the people around her and her position in life, particularly her etiquette teacher Lady Sagami, voiced by Lucy Liu. This film, unlike most Studio Ghibli movies as it can get really dark at times, but it's not to the extent that I believe it will be un-watchable for kids, and while this film is on a lot of levels kind of like a child's story book, it does however, feel like it has been made for a more mature audience as most of the Studio Ghibli films kind of are. Let's face it these may seem like basic family films, but they're really Family films that are more aimed at a Japanese audience, where you can get away with a lot more in your material likely viewed by kid's. I absolutely loved this film's story and its characters made it. This is very much a character piece. You want to see most of these characters, particularly Kaguya, get what they want and have their happy ending, even though you know from the tone of the film suggests that that's not going to be possible. But you hold out hope for them that that can be achieved. You really sympathise with Kaguya and her mother who simply want to return to simpler things. That's not to say that James Caan's bamboo cutter character is a bad person, far from it, he is trying to make his daughter happy but is going about it in the wrong way. This gives the film a nice balance especially considering once again, like most Ghibli films, there is no real villain, there is just characters and that's what really sells these films and makes them more true to life. The film also gives that usual balance that Ghibli has of its dark turns but makes for a general whimsy and incredible imagination, although I will say, I think in this film we get a lot more of the darker elements which is what you would expect from the Director of Grave of the Fireflies! I haven't been more engaged by a plot all year, I was practically glued to the screen and this film never felt too long for me, despite the fact that this film runs in at 2 hours and 10 minutes, arguably one of the longest Studio Ghibli movies to date, and they're not exactly short films, which all leads up to it's ending which is both brilliant and heartbreaking, but it doesn't feel awful because it was un-avoidable with the film brilliantly dealing with the themes of what one needs to feel happy in life. The only problem I had with the plot was the fact that there is a plot twist towards the end, it does come slightly out of nowhere, but at the same time this probably couldn't have been avoided and is ok after the fact. The film itself is based on a 10th Century folk tale from Japan and as a result a couple of things do feel slightly unoriginal and recycled, but at the same time it's from a time when these plots were starting to be created so its somewhat expected, plus this film does the princess who doesn't want to be a princess plotline better than any other film I have seen to date because it shows her life and potential before becoming a princess making that seem less natural and giving you a longing for her to return to her previous life. The source material feels very distinctly Japanese this time and has a lot of Japanese sensibilities and culture in it which may go over a few peoples heads if your not familiar with Japanese Culture and Tradition.
This, out of all the Ghibli films feels much more Japanese but I will get more into that when I discuss the animation. Once again it's not the easiest film to sit through but there are enough light hearted and imaginative moments that you will really want to get through to see how it turns out and believe me, this film is completely satisfying for me personally. I'm not certain this will appeal to a larger general audience like Spirited Away, Howls Moving Castle or Ponyo did, that being said though, for me personally it was almost perfect. I say almost because I normally come out of a Studio Ghibli movie feeling great, with this one I was feeling more sombre, but at the same time I think Takahata achieved this a lot better than he did with Grave of the Fireflies and I think every so often it is good to come out of a film feeling very sombre. But like all the Ghibli films by the time I saw the end of it I felt like I had accomplished something by seeing it and thats' a great feeling to have coming out of a film. Overall I'd say this plot is excellent, it has amazing characters and stories you want to see come out of it. There are a few darker turns especially with some of the Princes and Noblemen who want to marry Kaguya and it may alienate a couple of audiences with it's style of the story telling, some of the content and some of the aforementioned darker turns, but I would seriously encourage people to see it, it feels like a really great fairy tale that has been bought to life and it definitely had a plot that I would like to return to and I also thought that it had one of the best lead characters in a Ghibli film for quite a while, and that's one good achievement considering the lead characters they have had in the past.
As for the acting I saw this film in the English dub though I would say based on the style of the film and the story you could easily see this film in the original Japanese with sub titles, in fact I think you may potentially get some extra authenticity by seeing in that format, however I still would recommend the dub because once again this is an excellent dub cast. Lucy Liu is frankly brilliant in her role and Studio Ghibli have found the perfect role for her and I actually think this is probably one of her best performances. James Caan as well, gives one brilliant performance as the bamboo cutter, I genuinely thought he might play the role where we wouldn't get around the fact that it was him as he is such a recognisable actor but that was definitely not the case. Once again, the voice directors make these celebrities really un-noticeable and Caan is definitely a prime example of that, and what a performance he gave. The same goes for Mary Steenburgen who gives a subtle yet brilliant performance and I was surprisingly impressed by the end of her performance. Beau Bridges, James Marsden and Oliver Platt are all excellent in their roles as suitors for the Princess Kaguya, even though they're not in the film that long and they were seriously un-recognisable. It's further proof, you need to have a cast list available when you are watching a Studio Ghibli movie as the voice directors can take well known actors and make you forget it's them. Darren Criss does an excellent job as Sutemaru and it's another credit to the voice directors considering that he managed to get me to like a performance from someone who has been in Glee!! Seriously!! But the standout performance from this is Chloe Grace Moretz who delivers her best role to date since playing Hit Girl in the Kick-ass movies. She seriously does this role well and makes this character her own, playing someone feeling trapped in a role thrust upon her but yet with overwhelming moments of joy. I absolutely loved her performance and at the minute I'd definitely say she was the stand out performance that I have seen this year. I am serious. Her performance alone is worth the price of admission. The rest of the cast including Dean Cain, George Segal, John Chow and Hynden Walch all do their roles excellently as well. Once again a Studio Ghibli movie gives us an outstanding ensemble cast and they are all a credit to the brilliant voice direction that has clearly been put into it.
This just leaves us with the presentation and my goodness WOW. This film is a marvel to behold, the animation is gorgeous, it goes from moments of feeling like it's a children's story book bought to life to feeling like an oriental painting full of movement. What is amazing about the film is as well as its characters and plot the aesthetics and the animation and art design really sell the fact that this film is Japanese, it feels more Japanese than any other anime that I have watched. It gives you the rich culture and the fantastic architecture. I really feel I should watch the documentary of this film's creation to see where Takahata got his art design from and the film is full of a ton of symbolism that will warrant repeat viewings. A lot of people complain that anime is too static in its shots, well they can't say that with this film, the movement in these scenes flow beautifully. The stand out sequences include such things as the scene running from the palace cherry blossom scene and a flying scene that takes place towards the end of the film. The character designs are beautiful, these are well designed characters. I may have commented earlier this year that Giovanni's Island was the best and most unique animation that I have seen in anime in a long time, but this film has actually managed to out do it!! I also think it's especially worthy in how good its animation is considering that Studio Ghibli have always settled on a very distinctive art style, it's just that sort of thing that when you see it, you know it's a Studio Ghibli movie. So to deviate from that must have been a big risk, luckily that risk has paid off for Takahata. I must be honest, when I first saw the posters and the clips for this film, I wasn't sure, but I am definitely convinced having fully seen it. Some people may take issue with some of the more blank backgrounds but I think this aids the art style. While we are on the subject, Joe Hisaishi is one of my favourite film composers of all time having developed some amazing film scores in the past, but this time he has out done himself, this is his best to date. It is extraordinary how good it is. This feels like the sound track he has wanted to create his entire life, he makes brilliant use of Japanese Instruments as well as traditional Orchestral Instruments. It's just brilliant and he really should have received an Oscar nomination for it. I don't really have a complaint with the films presentation, it's just one amazing film to look and behold at, my only concern with it is there a quite a few silent moments which are excellent in letting us build up the tension and emotions in certain scenes, however I was in a cinema where the screens were very close to one another and some of the scenes were so quiet I could actually hear the other movie playing in the next room, and that got really annoying. My advice on that basis would be, if you are planning to see it at the Cinema maybe try and aim for a Cinema that has very few screens that aren't close to one another.
Overall, my thoughts are that this film is excellent. It's genuinely a brilliant animated film that keeps up Studio Ghibli's reputation and if this is to be Isao Takahata's final film, he is going out on a brilliant film, and this is by far his best work to date. My only major complaint with the film is that a few of the darker moments feel the film should have warranted a PG rating rather than the U rating that it did get and I think a few parents might be a bit shocked by some of the things that are allowed in Japanese kids films. I was aware that there were plans to censor certain scenes of this film, but I am happy to say that the film is completely uncut in its British release and it's all the better for it. The film gives us excellent characters, a brilliant but hard hitting storyline that offers us no easy answers and I really think that everyone will be emotionally affected by the end. It's a brilliant, but sombre piece. I'm not sure that it will appeal to as large an audience as past Ghibli films have, mainly on its Japanese sensibility and culture. However, for me personally it was damm near brilliant. Particular praise goes to Chloe Grace Moretz for her excellent performance as well as the rest of the brilliant ensemble cast and the amazing animation and film score. I am firmly in the belief that as much as I liked Big Hero 6 this film should have won the Oscar.
Please go and see this at the Cinema if you get the chance I would love this film to be successful at the Box Office and I think it's something you should really check out. If you don't feel the need to go the Cinema to see this, but you can't wait for it to come out on DVD and Blu Ray there is no need to wait in this country because it has been released on Blu Ray in America and I believe that it is region free. It is available on Amazon on a US import and I believe it may work on European Blu Ray players, but please investigate before buying as I may be wrong on that point and DVD's from America will more than likely not work unless you have a multi region dvd player. I also recommend that you should pick up the DVD Isao Takahata and his Tale of the Princess Kaguya that came out last weekend which is an 86 minute documentary that talks about the films creation. The only other piece of advice that I will give is if you are planning to see this in the Cinema, whether you prefer watching anime in the original Japanese language with subtiles or a english dub version you are probably going to have a hard time because a few of the chain Cinemas haven't specified which of their screenings is dub or sub and in fact in order to see the english dub I accidentally ended up having to buy two tickets because I ended up buying the sub first. My advice is, do what I did, after buying the sub, and actually ring the Cinema ahead of time and ask which screening is which version and then you can get the exact one that you want.

Neeb says:
Wasn't sure about Kaguya's art style but many people have been saying it's good so I will watch it at some point.
I heard somewhere that Miyazaki was unhappy that the Western version of one of his films had been cut, so he sent a katana to a Disney producer with the note 'No cuts'.
Some people have been saying that 'Big Hero 6' was too much of an obvious choice for the Oscar and yeah, Disney/Pixar have been monopolising the Oscars for years now. Might have been nice to see 'How To Train Your Dragon 2' get it too.
My favourite Ghibli films are Howl's Moving Castle, followed by Spirited Away.
Hey Neeb
Thanks very much for the comments
I heard the katana story too it's in relation to the first attempt to dub Nausica of the Valley of the wind when it was re titled Warriors of the Wind and done horribly with nearly half of it gone or changed and I think he was very nervous since Nausica was only his second film and he was wanted his epic in tact
In all honesty I thought How to train your dragon 2 had the Oscar in the bag with the Lego movie out of the running so was genuinely shocked when big hero 6 won but agree it was a really good film and I wouldn't object if it had won
I'm glad you like howls moving castle and spirited away so much because they're 2 of my favourite movies and I would recommend if you enjoy ghibli films one really underrated film by them is the cat returns which I discovered recently and really enjoyed

Liverpool have received an injury boost ahead of their clash with Leicester City next Wednesday.
There were fears the Reds could be without a recognised right-back for the clash with the Foxes, but those fears have now been eased with Fabinho's fitness improving.
The Brazilian limped off in the 4-3 win over Crystal Palace, sparking fears Liverpool would have no right-back for their upcoming games.
James Milner was sent off in that win over Palace, while Trent Alexander-Arnold is out until later this month with a ligament injury.
Joe Gomez is also out, and even youngster Ki-Jana Hoever is sidelined, leaving Jurgen Klopp praying for Fabinho's return to fitness.
The 25-year-old is Brazil's first-choice right-back, so, despite also featuring in midfield, he's very much an option for the Reds in their now unfilled full-back berth.
Liverpool are currently on a warm-weather training camp in Dubai as they prepare to step-up their title bid in upcoming fixtures against Leicester City and West Ham.
The Reds medical team are confident that once the Reds return to Merseyside, Fabinho will be fit and ready to take on the Foxes at Anfield on Wednesday.
The latest update, according to the Mirror, is that Fabinho has returned to light training, and, with no game this weekend, he has the best part of a week to prove his fitness.
Liverpool will now treat Fabinho with caution as they step-up rehab sessions, at least one of which he has already come through in Dubai.
If Fabinho was to miss out, then the only plausible option would be to ask right winger Rafael Camacho to drop in, and that's not something Klopp will want to do for a Premier league clash.
Fortunately for him, Fabinho does look on course, as does Gini Wijnaldum, who could slot into a central midfield berth to allow Fabinho to play in the vacant full-back position.

Published to accompany the first US retrospective exhibition of Donald Judd's sculpture in more than thirty years, Judd explores the work of a landmark artist who, over the course of his career, developed a material and formal vocabulary that transformed the field of modern sculpture. Donald Judd was among a generation of artists in the 1960s who sought to entirely do away with illusion, narrative, and metaphorical content. Judd surveys the evolution of his work, beginning with his paintings, reliefs, and handmade objects from the early 1960s; through the years in which he built an iconic vocabulary of works in three dimensions, including hollow boxes, stacks, and progressions made with metals and plastics by commercial fabricators; and continuing through his extensive engagement with color during the last decade of his life. This richly illustrated catalogue takes a close look at Judd's achievements, and using newly available archival materials at the Judd Foundation and elsewhere, expands scholarly perspectives on his work. Essays by curators and scholars address subjects such as his early beginnings in painting, the fabrication of his sculptures, his site-specific pieces, and his work in design and architecture. 304pp; 300 illus.

Another haiku set! I do find it hard to ink with a brush. I use brush pens for illustration work now, but I'm not very good at it. Sorry, Mell. The gerbils in the cherry branch turned out nicely, though.
That's Speedy and I just about to enter the stainless steel pipe that leads to the air-lock that separates Lechugilla cave from the surface. Speedy and I, (and six others) had been in Lechugilla cave for more than seven straight days at that point, surveying and exploring, and correcting errors on the map. It's hard to imagine a more isolated group of people than we were, sitting under about 600′ feet of rock, with no communication links to the surface of the earth.
Speedy was happy that he got to ride in a pack during the 180-foot assent up a free-hanging rope that is one of the many obstacles to exit the cave. Speedy was downright ecstatic that he didn't have to follow the "pack-it-out" restroom policy that the humans had to.
Little gerbil helmet! Squeeeeeee!! And James, your life would make a better adventure film than anything since the first Indiana Jones.
@Tiff – On the one hand, entirely sensible. On the other hand, oh dear oh dear oh dear.
James Rice's stuffed gerbil leads a more exciting life than I do. That's kind of depressing.
@John: James Rice's stuffed gerbil leads a more exciting life than everyone except for James Rice. I've reached the acceptance stage.
Two clarifications. Speedy has a far my exciting life than I do. There are now several people that regularly contact me to see if Speedy is available to accompany them on trips.
Since space and weight are both at a premium while in a cave, Ziploc bags are your friends. As awkward as it might be going #2 in a Ziploc, it must still be far easier than what astronauts have to deal with.


Some car manufacturers make real the dream of many with vehicles more and more extravagant, packed with luxury and a breathtaking power, however, these automotive jewels have their price and very few are able to pay for, making these models become even more admired and exclusive.
There are models for all budgets but some exceed the limits. Here, the 10 most expensive cars of 2012 according to Forbes magazine.
Engine: 3.4-liter V8 500 horsepower and three electric motors which add another218 hp, making it accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds.
Engine: 6.8-liter V8 that gives 1.350 hp and reaches 60 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds.
Engine: 6.2-liter turbocharged V8 that gives it an acceleration of 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds.
Engine: V12 700-horsepower made by Mercedes-Benz. The initial acceleration is 3.5 seconds.
Engine: 7.3 liter V12 with 750 hp and acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds.
Engine: A 12-cylinder with 620 hp and acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds.
Engine: 5.0-liter V8 1.115 hp with acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds.
Price: $1.7 million ($1.5 million for the basic model but they are $211,000 more for the R equipment and with $270,000 you will have the carbon fiber version.
Engine: A V8 of 1.250 horsepower that allows it to reach 60 miles per hour in 2.9 seconds.
Engine: V12 of 700 hp that let you accelerate from 0 to 60 in 2.9 seconds.
Price: It is rumored that passes the $2 million (this car is not street-legal and its sale is only available by invitation). The replacement of the car called the 599XX EVO will be released in the Geneva Auto Show.
Engine: A huge 16-cylinder that gives it 1.200 hp and acceleration from 0 to 60 in 2.4 seconds.
I know this is a kind of off-topic subject for this forum, but come on, it worth to see these beautiful cars and knowing they are the most expensive cars in the world. Which one is your favorite ? If you were rich and multimillionaire which one you would like to park in your garage?
You already know where to go to sell or find the most economy and affordable cheap used cars in USA: .:: Autopten.com ::.
Simply WOW! These cars are made for gods. I'd like to know who are the owners of this so expensive vehicles. I didn't have any idea of the existence of most the brands mentioned. If I were rich I'd buy the SSC Tuatara, is beautiful, I'll start to save from now on the one million it costs. I can't imagine how they look in their interior.
wow amazing.. i am not able to choose one!
Awesome cars. And I'll be dreaming those cars. I hope I can afford one of those cars..

1,3-Indandione (sometimes simply indanedione) is an organic compound with the molecular formula C6H4(CO)2CH2.  It is a β-diketone on an indane framework. It is a colorless or white solid although samples can appear yellowish or even green. It is a widely used building block

Structural properties
Solid 1,3-indandione is a diketone, As a solution in water, it is partially (~2%) enolized. The enolate anion exhibits significant delocalization, and the highest electron density is on the second carbon. This acid-base behavior explains many properties of the compound.

Preparation

1,3-Indandione can be prepared by decarboxylation of the sodium salt of 2-ethoxycarbonyl-1,3-indandione, which itself is obtained by Claisen condensation of ethyl acetate and dimethyl phthalate.

Chemical properties

The carbon at the C-2 position is alpha to both carbonyls, and thus can act as a nucleophile. It undergoes self-aldol condensation quite easily, resulting in bindone.

Bromination occurs at the 2-position:

One or both carbonyl groups can be reduced to alcohol groups or methylene groups, depending on the method used.

Ex-Alabama Gymnast Recounts Racism in the Program
Former University of Alabama gymnast Tia Kiaku accused an assistant coach within the program of making a racist comment against her, ultimately leading her to leave the program.
The post, which went up on Tuesday, alleged multiple incidents of racism. Though the original post didn't identify the assistant coach in question, Kiaku told AL.com that the comments were made by Bill Lorenz.
Do we stand together? Why not use this opportunity to be transparent? I would be remiss if I didn't take the opportunity to address a very disturbing and grave incident that occurred last year while I was on the Gymnastics team at the University of Alabama. During a practice, only the three African American girls (including myself) just happened to be on vault drills together. While practicing, one of the black gymnasts said "look all the black girls are all on the same event" responding to the statement, the Assistant Coach walked over and said "What is this, the back of the bus?". Something that seems like a very inappropriate (racist) statement to me was just deemed as a very bad joke by Alabama! That doesn't seem to be a joke that's appropriate, especially in a professional team setting. I have seen a myriad of news stories of Coaches saying inappropriate/racist statements such as this who are no longer in a leadership position. Additionally, words such as "Nigga" (whether one thinks it's funny or not), implicit biases, stereotyping, grouping terminology, and statements with underlying racism should NOT be tolerated from anyone. In fact, it should be unacceptable across the board! If #WeStandTogether, let's truly stand together and address inappropriate issues that are happening inside programs like the University of Alabama. It is very unfair to isolate or exclude athletes because they take a stand! After much consideration, a lot of thought, lots of crying and even some tough/hard discussions with the Head Coach and some of my team mates, I decided to walk away from the team and the University. It has been hard. So what I will say is.....if the University, the Director of Athletics and Alabama's Gymnastics program wants to take a stance on diversity and racism, they need to be transparent. These injustices are happing right in the middle of Alabama's gymnastics team and they did very little about it. So how are we standing together? It's so disheartening to know that there will be other black woman, like myself, to walk through Alabama's doors and they pose the risk of going through the same things I went through!...
A post shared by Tia Kiaku (@tia_kiaku) on Jun 2, 2020 at 2:55pm PDT
Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne, in a statement to AL.com on Wednesday, said that the incident was investigated when it was first reported.
"We are limited by law on what we can speak about regarding equal opportunity matters, however we can elaborate on what steps were taken," Greg Byrne said in the statement. "When the complaint was received, it was immediately reported to the Office of Equal Opportunity and Title IX Programs on campus as well as the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. From there, an investigation, completely separate from athletics, took place. Once the Office of Equal Opportunity and Title IX Programs gathered all of the facts, an outcome was determined, reported back and action steps were taken. We are a department that is committed to providing a just and inclusive community for all of our student-athletes, coaches and staff, operating with integrity and respect."
Speaking to AL.com, Kiaku recounted additional instances of racist behavior within the gymnastics program, including use of the N-word, complaints about rap music, and a black volunteer coach being described as "not really black."
"It's just a lot of little things that have built up," Kiaku told AL.com. "I look back and think that's not acceptable. That's not a professional way to handle, to say things or to do anything. There's a lot of things that are inappropriate that I've been through with this program."
Kiaku told AL.com that she was influenced by current events to make her story public. She has reportedly entered the transfer portal, hoping to compete in gymnastics at another institution.

As the fate of the film "Sadko" actors
• As the fate of the film "Sadko" actors
April 19 marks 119 years since the birth of the creator of the legendary Soviet kinoskazok "Stone Flower", "Ilya Muromets", "Scarlet Sails", "The Tale of Wasted Time", "Ruslan and Lyudmila" - Alexander Ptushko. One of the most famous in the world of his directorial work was the film "Sadko", which received the "Silver Lion" at the Venice Film Festival in 1953. The actors, starred, - Sergey Stolyarov and Alla Larionov - praised the foreign critics and directors, but world fame turned disastrous consequences for the Soviet star.

By the time we started shooting the new kinoskazki Alexander Ptushko was already known as the director of "The New Gulliver" and "Stone Flower", and it has its fame as an innovator: he created the first sound volume cartoon "life Lord," the first feature-length film with the bulk animation " new Gulliver ". For the "Stone Flower", the director received the Stalin Prize and the prize for the color at the International Film Festival in Cannes. And the next film - "Sadko" - earned him the second most important prize, "Silver Lion" in Venice.

Alla Larionova started acting in the crowd yet in the 8th grade in school, and her first major film credits began to role Lubava in the film "Sadko". After the premiere, this 22-year-old actress woke up famous. After the screening of the film at the International Film Festival in Venice, Larionov have learned abroad. For debutants, it was simply unprecedented success. Years later, she recalled: "We, the three actresses, immediately sewed from the same white fabric on the dress. Well even different styles. However, on his return asked to return the dress! Well, accompanied at the highest level - he Mikoyan. You know, that was my first shock in Italy? I saw the maid leaving the room in stunning stockings. And I am crying because anything that I have never in my life did not! ".
wrote about the "Venice the sun in her hair at Alla" in Italian newspapers, the actress called "the youngest, the most fun, the most beautiful." Many foreign filmmakers invited Alla Larionov shooting them in the cinema, Charlie Chaplin said that no trial is ready to shoot Larionov in his new film. But for her kinochinovniki responded, saying that her shooting schedule is painted for many years to come! Of course, this was not true, but Larionov did not complain about the fact that she was unable to appear abroad, "Then I was in shock. But today I think: it is unlikely they would have made me a superstar. Most of all, I needed them as exotic. By its nature, it seems to me, I was not cut out for Hollywood. Although ... What today to talk about it! ".

Upon his return to the USSR Larionov co-starred in 2 movies, and then the scandal broke. On a spectacular young actress he pointed out Minister of Culture Alexander and one day invited her to dinner. After that, immediately there were rumors about their romance, and this has played a cruel joke with them. Aleksandrov soon fell into disgrace, and the authorities have used these rumors compromising both against unwanted officials. Alexandrov was removed from office, and Larionov without explanation stopped to take in a movie. It has already been approved for the role in the next film Vasilisa Ptushko "Ilya Muromets", but could not come to the shooting: the theater is simply not signed a business trip. Only after the actress decided to write a letter to the new Minister of Culture, she returned to the screen, but since she was offered only bit parts. Since early triumph played in the destiny Larionova fatal.

No less dramatic was the fate of the actor who played the role of Sadko - Sergei Stolyarov. Unlike debutants Larionova, he at that time was already a movie star - Stolyarov was famous before the war thanks to starring in the film Grigory Alexandrov "Circus." At the time of filming in "Sadko" actor was already 40 years old, and already 14 notable roles were in his filmography. Sadko role brought him worldwide fame, it was called a real Russian fairy tale hero. Judges Film Festival in Venice, Sergei Stolyarov included in the list of the best actors of the world for the 50-year history of the cinema, at the same time he was the only Soviet actor in this list.
However, after his triumph abroad Sergei Stolyarov was soon forced to leave the cinema. His son Cyril said: "For all its positive appearance, he never played superiors nor secretaries of regional committees. Since it was difficult to fake. To bribe him with the Order or goods can not - then Stolyarov uncontrollable, it is unknown what to expect from him. " In 1960-ies. he appeared a little, and actor Theater management used this fact as an excuse to get rid of "inconvenient" the actor: he was accused of the fact that he does not comply with the norm, and fired. In 1968 he was diagnosed with cancer, and a year later 58-year-old actor passed away.
The film was supposed to be the debut performance in the movie Andrei Mironov. At age 11, he auditioned for the role of a beggar boy from the crowd. He was to appear in a frame in dirty rags, and Andrei since childhood differed disgust and did not dare to try this dubious "suit" over his naked body - and put it on top of a neat t-shirt, to show through holes in sackcloth. They say it is so outraged the director that the young actor was removed from the role. As a result, Mironov film debut took place on the 4 th year student in the film "And if this is love?"

Soviet film was made based on the Onega epics of the Novgorod merchant Sadko and Guslar. Foreign viewers heroes of Russian folklore were unfamiliar, and when in 1963 the American director and producer Roger Corman acquired the tape for hire in the USA, he turned "Sadko" in "The Magic Voyage of Sinbad", renaming is not only the main character, but also his own city: instead of Novgorod in the film mentioned Kopasand. script adaptation by the author for this version of the film was the 23-year-old Francis Ford Coppola.

And here at home movie Ptushko repeatedly criticized: for example, kinochinovnikov embarrassed that magic bird Phoenix will play a woman, and at the same time "from the backside Sadko bird will pull the feathers. Not good! He is playing on low feelings. " Behavior Sadko in foreign lands seemed to reviewers colored "wrong political significance": in the episode with the Vikings, they found "unwarranted aggression" that produced "unfavorable impression of the behavior of Russian." Pictures merchant peers in Novgorod have been cut as "distort the true historical image of a free Russian city."
The role of the phoenix in the film performed Lydia Vertinskaya. This work began her film debut. She has starred in several films Ptushko and then all left the cinema.
