Tyrants yet to be understood

More than once in the MBA class, Machiavelli's "The Prince" and Machiavellianists are mentioned, and many people nod their heads frequently: the way to complete it is less important than the result.

Kubo's grandfather could only see things in the dark and was in charge of the night. When he asks his daughter to do the same with human beings, asking Kubo to also give up a pair of eyes and join the heavenly world of the gods, he is outraged by their refusal.

Just like Machiavellian people look at people with a low level of this trait, it is difficult to understand the values ​​held by the other party. It is no wonder that too many rational and emotional conflicts and wars could be avoided if understanding between groups was so easy.

In exchange for losing sight of the light, at least supreme authority in the dark. Darkness belongs to the power of manipulation and deprivation that gives fear, while the light that can be seen is human nature, a real micro-emotion, the ability to see other people's souls, the ability to love. This is something Kubo and his mother are reluctant to give up.

The mother, who turned into a snow monkey, carried Kubo on her back until she lost all her memories. The beetle warrior father carried Kubo on his shoulders. The family was reunited. Kubo hugged his father's thick armor comfortably. He looked back at his mother and smiled. adventure in.

The happiness of this family is enough. Whether they still recognize the power of each other's emotions, such as a meeting together can overcome a long separation, a firm word can light a dark cave.

There are too many thought-provoking lines, and a well-crafted story can win too much recognition and resonance, and it does not need to be vigilantly regarded as the output of values ​​or interpreted as a certain story template by smart people. A good story is a good story, and the emotions she expresses are real and there is no doubt about it.

Grandpa couldn't understand the power of human nature, couldn't understand Kubo's willingness to bear the frailty and shame of the world, rather than to live immortally in the heavenly court, and maybe take his place as the Moon King, the ruler of the night.

"Everything comes to an end" Everything comes to an end. The right, of course, is that the right of darkness is given. Those historical emperors, conquerors, and rulers hold rights for a short period of time, and no matter how great achievements are, they will be accompanied by controversy for life.

Management says that a terrible trait of incompetent leaders is "rationalize wrong behaviors," rationalizing wrong behavior, thinking that the outcome is good anyway. This is what Jack Welch calls a Tyrant-type manager who needs to be weeded out from within the organization. If the rights of the world are invaded by such people, the choice we face for Kubo is to maintain our own value and original heart, do things with conscience, that is, "human nature", or to use all means to rationalize all processes to achieve the goal , then everyone will only believe in "selfish" nature and "selfish" behavior.

There are so many subtleties in the settings of the animation, and every detail can clearly or vaguely point to the main point of the film. Point to Kubo's firm answer.

    This stop-motion animation, this special effect technology, how can it be matched with such a bad story, a model of wasted cast.
