i thought the performance of Princess Yuki outstanding. Passionate and excitable but had a heart underneath. Using a twig/stick was a cool prop to portray her a ruler with a sceptor. I thought this girl was super cool looking and I think I fell in love with her. :)
Where can I find a girl with eyebrows like that?
I thought she was absurd. Wound up as a spring (as opposed to calm and regal) and screaming every line with a voice of a dying hyena (even the most trivial line is shouted). The actress didn't have too many roles after this one, and for a good reason.
shareI'm going to have to go with the OP on this one. She is incredible and really sexy! I couldn't take my eyes of her the entire film.

Agreed. She was extremely attractive with her poise, looks, overall beauty and of course her voice. I couldn't believe that she appeared in so few movies. Perhaps she found happiness outside cinema. Anyway, she is ten times more feminine than all of today's so-called actresses combined.
Never be complete.
She was AWFUL. Almost all Japanese actresses overact and she might've been the worst one I've ever witnessed. She is just terrible. I can't believe I watched this whole movie, Jesus Christ.
RetardoArona-gone but not forgotten. Nvr4get. Send me your thoughts on this unjust tragedy.

The actress didn't have too many roles after this one, and for a good reason.You don't think that's what she always is like, do you? It's called acting, and it's the director who decides how an actor behaves and talks on screen.
I'd say you hold to a certain mold according to which the princesses must behave. :-)
There is a character explaining Yuki was grown up like boy, probably an overly-loving father, so she doesn't behave like a well-grown up court lady, she was spoiled and it shows. Stubborn. She expects everybody to respect and listen to her, as a birth right - not even when the two villagers are running after her in the forest, she doesn't even think ANYTHING bad could happen to her - that's why she wasn't scared at all.
I don't think anybody could stand such an unrealistic brat.
She wasn't though used with known/ loved ones to die for her (albeit theoretically she knew that was the rule) and you can see the moment she cracks, away from prying eyes. And little by little she changes.
...and anyway everybody was shouting at everybody there :-) only the high pitched voices are more bothering then the rest.

"Doesn't help that Japanese is a great language to be angry in."
No kidding; I was watching Seven Samurai the other day & when Kambei finally lost his temper with the villagers, his outburst sounded like the snarl of an angry wolf...
