longing for love.

The advantage of cartoons is that they can exaggerate the real world and have a strong appeal.
Especially about the depiction of children's psychology, this cartoon is very well done. It interprets the psychology of children's eagerness to pay attention to such a seemingly absurd fantasy story, and really expresses the desire in the hearts of many teenagers. In the same way, the love of the fantasy world draws our attention to how hypocritical but powerful, intractable control the bondage of love is.


In the film, Coraline's parents are too busy with work to care about her, and she wanders around in the new old house to pass the time.
Although parents are around their children, they forget to pay attention to them, and neglect becomes an index for Coraline to go to another world.
Open that door, how intoxicated she is with the colorful world, with what the black cat said, the ghost mother will always create Coraline what you like to attract you, in order to keep you. In real life, Coraline can't experience such a wonderful parental love, and in this world, the ghost mother cooks a delicious dinner, and the ghost father lays a garden for her with her avatar, and everything revolves around She turned. Coraline is very happy with this and can enjoy the utmost attention and love. For the time being, we call such an atmosphere caring.
Because when the ghost mother herself said something scary but indisputable, even the proudest spirit can be broken with love.

And in the reality outside the movie, it is indeed the case. Lack of maternal love is not conducive to the growth of children; excessive maternal love is even more detrimental to the growth of children. How many people are complaining about their parents' indifference, and how many people are complaining about their parents' interference. Parents who are indifferent and indifferent to their children are often blamed; parents who love too much have never listened to their children seriously, and others cannot see how their love hurts their beloved. child.

Such a stark contrast is very thought-provoking. More and more post-80s are becoming parents. So, what should the weight of love be? How to grasp the balance among them, we will know only when we do it. Life should be explored, discovered, and enjoyed.

Just like the end of the film, the opening of the tulips made Coraline's mother who hated the soil also know how to enjoy life. Well, even if terrible things happen, it will always be rainy and sunny.
