The peach orchard

This movie kind of goes along with the saying "you never know the worth of water until the well has run dry". It takes place on a day that celebrates the peach blossom. The boys family cut down the orchard, so the spirits left. Eventually the boy caught up with the spirits and they told him that they would never come back. The sixth girl that he sees appears to be the princess of the peach blossom so to speak because she has on the same colors as the orchard in blossom, and when she runs into the open hills the spirits of the orchards come in a way that seems to guard her. The boy cries because he will never see the blossom again. The dolls dance in a way that seems to classify the blossom. It gives the blossom a sense of art, beauty, proportion, and equality. The colors white, orange, and green signify art and beauty. They are very bright, and bring the scenery to life. They blend in and also help the background to stand out. The way that the spirits are placed on top of the stages on the hill gives the whole scene proportion and equality because it looks like you could fold the screen and it would be the same on both sides. The tree that the "princess" runs behind stays alive after all of the others die. It seems as if her spirit resides there.
