I cry because she doesn't live her life to the fullest being tormented by her father due to his greed. While watching this I have psychotic thoughts of skinning her father alive while burning him alive.

but it seems the movie wants us to forgive him during the end simply because he's crying that kaguya is leaving, which wouldn't make sense . Please correct me if I'm wrong

is he sad because kaguya is leaving because he realised the errors of his ways and is showing genuine remorse(which would be bad and rushed redemption arc) or is he crying because he knows he will lose his status if kaguya leaves. Please help me understand.

Well, that’s the point of the original Heian period Monogatari stories, they were “poems” written mostly in kana (the only alphabet the women could learn) for women and they criticized the system of the time, in which women were just an exchange merch to gain political power in the court, and a system were for that same reason polygamy was widely common.

The movie highlights the emotional attachment Kaguya has to her adoptive parents in that scene, but doesn’t demand we forgive her father’s actions.

She’s still able to care about him there because she understands that he was acting out of ignorance, not of malice.

All that scene says to me is that Kaguya is empathetic, it doesn’t seem like the film is demanding we be as understanding though.

I understand how it all started since she was born as a very small princess but he just got very obsessed about it and got "lost" and "blind". Tunnel vision, he didn't even realize how sad Kaguya was getting. (⁠;⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠)

What a poor soul. That sweet old man deserves more empathy than that! Did you see how he worried when Kaguya was lost in the woods? Every scene shows his love for her, even as he is old and misunderstands or leaps to the conclusion he likes. He’s very human, he makes mistakes, he has difficulty seeing beyond the norms of the time, but he clearly has a heart in the right place.

YO!

The man exploited his daughter and her beauty for money and higher status. He didn't care for her happiness. He only thought of his greedy desires. Then he cried when her time was over on the earth and she was about to go back to where she originally came from.

I think alot of people are misunderstanding Father's character here. He represents most parents who wishes for their children to something more than ordinary. In kaguya, her father wished her to be a princess when she was just happy being an ordinary girl. Her father had bigger dreams for her and wanted to see her as more than ordinary daughter. He tried to provide her with all the wealth and luxury of their times. Thinking this would make her happy but it didn't. It's a mindset of most parents molded by society so you can't blame him. Best I could explain this situation best by an example "A person wants to give you a gift that you don't want nor u desire it but that person thinks it will make you happy even though it wouldn't.Now imagine that person is ur parents. Something like this too happened with kaguya.
