love and growth

One of my favorite cartoons. It is a rare masterpiece among children's animations in recent years. The artistic effect brings surprises and delicacy from start to finish, which can be called a feast of visual gluttony. Villages, snow, sea, wild, autumn and winter scenes are so beautiful that you can't bear to blink. The Japanese aesthetics are simple and rich, and do not pursue The shape of the characters is beautiful and the shape of the animals is cute, but it makes everything harmonious and natural, and gives all things aura. The sense of power of justice and evil is revealed from the bones of the characters, with the magic power of peeping into the soul. Amazing creativity and fun, full of magic. Many people think that the storyline is simple, it is useless to seek equipment in danger, and the final boss is too weak, which leads to the simplification of the climax. It seems so on the surface, but I think the design of the plot is repeatedly tempered, and the meaning runs through it, about love and growth. The first battle of skeletons, strengthening courage and distinguishing the truth from the false, is a sharp sword; the second battle of the eyes, awakening the power of love, distinguishing the real from the phantom, is to sharpen the heart; in the third battle, returning to home and hometown, returning to the original heart and recognizing oneself The power is wisdom. Growth lies in experiencing hardships, not from external things but from the inside to obtain huge energy, knowing how to give up the equipment that has been found from thousands of miles against the ultimate boss, and reaching the ultimate state. The symbol of the eye appears many times, and the eye lets people see beauty and remember beauty. But the heart is actually more important than the eyes. The parents are monkeys and beetles. When each other's identity is unknown, love has grown and existed. Thinking of Kafka's Metamorphometer, the huge beetle was also difficult to turn over, but it was inferior and lost in love, and the family had only disgust and disgust for it. How optimistic and lucky this beetle is. Love is the ultimate power over everything, Kubo understands, that is growth.

    Memory is the most powerful magic in the world, it makes us stronger. The memories we love and lose in our hearts, as long as we keep them in our hearts, you can never take them away. Every frame of stop-motion animation is love, and Laika, wrapped in a Japanese style story, plays a stable dark gothic fairy tale as always, love is the power of redemption. The two-dimensional animation at the end of the film is like Ukiyo-e, and I am stunned. Don't be too awesome! Tribute to stop motion animators!

    The Japanese version of Agarwood kubo participated in a one-man Triwizard Tournament. The big boss grandfather with Voldemort's voice became a tyrannosaurus in a rage. No wonder that with "Dad" and "Mom" they had to catch fish when they were drifting on the sea fantasyly. It is really a movie full of "bugs". The movie! So the real name of the protagonist should be [Kubo·Agarwood·Pai·Porter]
