A chicken soup piece that explores the death and redemption of family love in the shell of oriental culture but with the core of western culture. The story itself is very old-fashioned, revenge, treasure hunt, monster fight, upgrade, basically the viewers can guess its follow-up development .So its focus is not on the plot, but on the theme it explores: growing up is a process of making the heart whole with love.
Father's Day, let's talk about the role of the father in the film. The film is very interesting to design the mother as an explosive force, and uncharacteristically design the father as a somewhat incompetent. In the first half of the film, Kubo's Father Hanzo has always appeared in the image of a brave warrior who is not afraid of hardships, but the Beetle warrior who appeared behind broke people's illusions and has no temperament at all. It can even be said to be the laughing point of the whole movie. , appeared as a sneak attack in the following battle, but died because of the same sneak attack. It can be said that there is no heroic attitude at all. But the shaping of such a slightly incompetent father image is exactly what the film needs. If There is a strong and powerful father escorting, so what about the growth of the theme of the film?
In addition, the three weapons left by the father are not only the artifact that Kubo was looking for to defeat the Moon God, but also the last lesson left by the father hanzo to his son: treasures are not the most important thing, the important thing is how to improve your heart , keep calm, how to face the confusion and fear of the unknown or even death alone when the parents are not around. At the end of the film, Hanzo's heroic spirit appears beside Kubo, which is actually a subtle expression: in the process of kubo growing up, his father , has never left.
