When I was young, my parents were busy, and I was always at home every holiday. Listening to the children downstairs laughing and playing, I was really envious. I'm not an introverted and quiet child, but I've gotten used to being locked at home for a long time without noticing. My parents don't worry about letting me go out to play, but they don't have the heart to see me like this. So tropical fish, budgerigars, Brazilian turtles, and pot-bellied katydids came to my house to stay with me all day. At that time, the sun was shining through the window, and I squatted in front of the cage and had a serious conversation with them. This scene ran through my childhood. To this day, my parents still have a sour nose when they talk about it.
After watching "Caroline", I can't help but think, if I were her, would I not be able to help myself and fall into the gentle trap of "ghost mother" step by step?
In fact, it's not that her parents don't love her, it's just that the way is different. One party can't think about how to give love, and the other party doesn't know how to understand and find love. So yin and yang go wrong, like hide-and-seek, always a little bit worse.
So I gave the ghost mother the opportunity to rack her brains to make things difficult for Caroline. Fortunately, there are all kinds of strange neighbors to help and the company of black cats. More importantly, Caroline's courage, and finally Happy end. After all, it is Fairy tales can be thrilling and exciting, but they cannot disappoint children. Don't all of The Nightmare Before Christmas and Zombie Bride have happy endings?
Love, courage, trust, responsibility, persistence and collaboration. Little Caroline taught me a lot.
The first time I saw "Caroline", I fell in love with it deeply, because it is a stop-motion movie like "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Zombie Bride". I've always been obsessed with this style, nostalgic, gloomy, decadent, dark, yet gorgeous and humorous. Although black fairy tales are not like ordinary beautiful stories that make people simply happy and moved, their unique artistic beauty deeply attracts those who appreciate it. Today, when computer 3D animation is sweeping everything, Henry Selick has almost become the only "nostalgic" old-school director left. In "Ghost Mom," Henry Selick did not much different from what he did 15 years ago on "The Nightmare Before Christmas," using models and puppets to bring them to life in stop-motion. Computer technology is only an auxiliary means, which makes the shooting work less cumbersome, but does not detract from the real and tactile texture of the stop-motion animation itself.
Dolls, sewing needles, plasticine and other small things become lifelike and vivid under the hands of the staff. The processing and production of various small details need to be carefully experienced, and the creator's small wisdom and careful thinking are vividly displayed. I especially like the corridors I walk through. The dazzling colors and unique textures are like Van Gogh's "Starry Night", accompanied by various large and small curling spirals, so beautiful.
I think both the plot and the production of "Caroline" can be given full marks. It would be a pity if you don't open your eyes and appreciate the taste of such a gloomy and bizarre film work at the same time.
