The Peach Orchard Pt.2

this is surreal

Nice dream sequence...,time to wake up!
That little boy & young lady are no doubt in their 30's now!

This is my favourite dream , i like this movie !
Arigatou

This is one of my favourite, too. For some reason, I think the boy is caught between his repect for the trees (nature) and the desire to be with the girl who attracts him (in a curious sensual way). As soon as he sees the girl, his respect for the trees is sidestepped. His appreciation for beauty can't stop at just the visual sense. His desire is driven by what the illusion of the girl represents. And so the beauty that is there (was there) disappears and is lost. That's my take.

is this gugaku

Outstanding !

No the other dolls I don't think remain offended. The father of the boy had cut down the trees to nubbs so I believe the spirits/dolls couldn't remain there any longer except for the little girl who was a sprouting version of young tree that they must have missed.

oooooh. I see.

i'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but i found out about this film from a comment on watch?v=bm8XpWidUac&feature=re lated ; it's called etenraku but i'm not sure if it's from the heian period though. hope that helps

the japanese were always very mindful of their elders....these dances are visually stunning
and one doesnt have to focus their eyes much
to see the moving images and colorful shapes...
especially when  eyesight starts to go!!
:o)
5 starz!!
