40、o be involved in its management for experience. B At Japans Studio Ghibli, which has produced extraordinary animated films(动画片) since 1985, the best-known figure has always been one of the companys founders, Hayao Miyazaki. But an equally key figure is co-founder Isao Takahata, who has recently made
41、 a new feature, The Tale of Princess Kaguya. It is an unforgettable feature with an unusual hand-drawn aesthetic(美感). The title character is a tiny baby girl who appears in a bamboo plant. She is found by a woodcutter, who takes her home and brings her up. He believes the little girl is a princess,
42、and sets about preparing what he regards as a suitable world for her. This original story is the oldest work of fiction in Japan; every child knows it in its simplified folktale form. “It is a fascinating story with elements of wonder, humour, and sorrow,” Takahata says, “but these three elements ar
43、e scattered(分散) about.” The chief challenge for anyone trying to adapt it is that “we are completely unable to comprehend what was in the heart of Princess Kaguya. Because of this, despite its being well known, few people consider it interesting. There have been several attempts at making a film out
44、 of the story, but they ended up being abandoned.” He was connected with one of these attempts, but no one paid any attention to his concept. “Fifty-five years later, I thought my concept was still appealing, and used it as a basis for turning the story into a feature film.” His concept involves the
45、 princesss origins, her expectations and her access to “the full range of human emotions”. To realize his vision, Takahata says, “I needed to take the extremely individualistic brushwork and key designs of Osamu Tanabe and Kazuo Oga, two brilliantly talented artists, and have them permeate(扩散 ) thro
46、ughout the film. The two of them drew many pictures, but they werent nearly enough. The most challenging part was to have all the other animation staff copy their styles in a free and easy way.” The Tale of Princess Kaguya has been released, and people are saying that the two founders, 高三英语 第 8 页 共
47、25 页 now in their seventies, have directed their final films. But is it as clear-cut as that? When I ask Takahata about a scene of escape and urgency with a particularly distinctive(独特的) visual style, he says he had intended to use “this type of rough-drawn, forceful animation” in a project before t
48、his film. “That project hasnt been realized yet, but if it comes to pass, this style is essential.” A hint, perhaps, theres still more to come. 58. Which of the following choices has got the right match? Hayao Miyazaki a. one of the founders of Studio Ghibli Isao Takahata b. fictional character Kazu
49、o Oga c. famous artist Princess Kaguya d. animation staff member of The Tale of Princess Kaguya A. d B. a C. b D. c 59. Why is it challenging to adapt the original story to a feature film according to the passage? A. Because people are in the dark about the feelings of Princess Kaguya. B. Because the story itself offers a combination of wonder
