Mundeug

The music video Mundeug reminded me of the movie Omoide Poroporo. They're both about women looking back at their past life experiences and coming to terms with each moment. For the character in Mundeug, the thoughts came to her while taking a stroll whereas in Omoide Poroporo, the character recalled her childhood while she was on vacation in the countryside.

Kaguya-hime (1961)
|
Films based on the folklore "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" with distinct animation styles, stop-motion in Kaguya-hime and impressionistic in Kaguya-hime no Monogatari. The stop-motion animation for Kaguya-hime was nicely done for its time and of course Kaguya-hime no Monogatari's old-fashioned hand-drawn animation is a visual feast. The stories were close to the original however in Kaguya-hime, only three suitors along with the emperor were shown (Prince Kuramochi with the jeweled branch from a tree, Prince Ishitsukuri with Buddha's stone bowl, and Grand Counselor Otomo with the five-colored jade that shines from the dragon’s neck; Lord Minister of the Right Abe with the robe of fire-rat fur and Middle Counselor Isonokami with the cowrie shell that swallow warms as a treasure and a charm for safe birth were shown along with the other three suitors and the emperor in Kaguya-hime no Monogatari).
