ghost mother

I remember that my mother was definitely a strict mother, especially when it came to academic performance, she was always very strict. It's just that my grades have always been up and down, so I feel uneasy after each test. Of course, most of them passed the test safely, but there were a few times when the test scores were not ideal. In order to escape the pain of flesh and blood, I secretly imitated myself. The parent's signature, while painstakingly imitating, I thought angrily, why can't my mother be a mother who is more open-minded about her children's grades?
This is what children imagine. Just like a child feels that no matter how good he is, the parent will be dissatisfied. The image of a parent has its own setting in each child's heart, beautiful, good-natured, and excellent in cooking... Of course, just think about it. , Most of the children's parents are original, no one can choose.
"Ghost Mom" ​​basically talks about such a thing. A witch (?) from another world observes the children near the street through a doll made by herself. After discovering their unhappiness, she creates a dream world, and she becomes Become the ideal mother of the children, keep the children in that imaginary world, and then reveal the truth and absorb the soul of each child.
The protagonist of the story, Coraline, is probably such a girl. Her family life is just like the style of this animation. It is dark and dark. Her parents are too busy with their work, and they are too concerned about themselves, while ignoring her. In the end, of course she was also attracted by the ghost mother, but this little girl still had some willpower. Instead of being knocked down by the ghost mother's sugar-coated cannonball, she insisted on returning to her parents. As a result, of course, people are angry and angry. After digging the trap for so long, can people agree without jumping? Then came a series of Hollywood-like battles, the help of friends, the wit of children, and the result was a happy ending—a cartoon, after all, and a happy ending.
This animation obviously has the taste of The Nightmare Before Christmas, especially the opening chapter, the feeling of the music, the color of the animation, almost made me think it was a sister chapter or something, but the general pattern is still the same, probably trying to copy The Nightmare Before Christmas It's a success. It is said that the box office of "Ghost Mom" ​​is really good. It seems that the American people still buy this kind of animation.
What impresses me most about the cartoon is that when Coraline ran out of the ghost mother's house in the middle, she kept walking with the talking cat. As a result, the surrounding scenery became whiter and whiter, and finally disappeared. She asked the cat why, and the cat told her that the ghost mother only does what she likes. The happy world of the children made by the ghost mother is very small, and the whole world revolves around that house - Coraline's house, I remember them going After less than a minute, he went back to the front of the house again.
In fact, it is like this. The world of a child is very simple. It is nothing more than home, school, and the surrounding streets. The contacts are also very limited, especially when Coraline has just transferred there and has no friends. A very important part of her life, that's why she cares so much about the warmth her parents give her, and it was her parents who ignored this need and allowed the ghost mother to take advantage of it.
Communication is necessary between people, especially between adults and children. Because of differences in thinking, adults are inevitably oppressed by empiricism, and they always feel that they can figure out what children think, but it is just wishful thinking. For children, it is not enough to just give them a room and three meals, but also take care of them and give them warmth, so that they can feel the value of their existence to their parents, so that children can be truly happy because they need People also need them, and this kind of recognition will make children confident.
I like comedy endings, after all, after watching a movie for more than an hour, I don't want to cry for a dying ending. There are also many people who say that maybe the ending of the ghost mother should not be so perfect, maybe because there is no tension to make people think? It’s just animation. It’s not good to go online. As long as parents know how to care about their children after watching the movie and listen to what their children have to say, I don’t think this movie is in vain. Most people who have watched the movie should do this. Bar?
Another thing is that when Coraline's father was typing, there was a sudden power outage -- of course, Coraline did it unintentionally. His computer was cut off, and then the man who looked gloomy just now let out a very bleak scream. At that time, I learned another thing right away, that is, you must remember to save the writing.
This is called a windfall.
