Growth itself is the villain, it polishes your edges, trims your split ends, and makes you stronger or eliminated by it.
Kubo is only active during the day, to avoid exposure to moonlight, and was discovered by the Moon King. But you know that he will be discovered sooner or later, or do you really have to go out late and return early to gray hair? You can hide for the rest of your life, but it's not better if you can beat him. The reason for the exposure is not set to be greedy for fireworks, but to cherish the memory of his father, which is not so bloody. After all, this is a sensible child who can take care of a mother with temporary rigidity of limbs. It's not so logical to let a person with Kong Rong let the virtue of pear go wrong because of greed.
The appearance of the mother and sister makes people instantly think of Gu Huo Niao, plus they want to catch the child, it is more like no different.
Then he began to venture alone. Of course, it is not accurate to say that he is alone. After all, there are monkeys and beetles around, which are the spiritual fragments of the mother and the guardian power of the father. The journey of the three-piece suit is not so much a search for weapons as a cultivation of abilities. You are accompanied by your parents on the way of cultivation, but you have to fight the final boss alone. So the monkey and the beetle both died before meeting the grandfather.
Listening to Pu Shu's "Journey", whenever I hear "one day my father was tired from walking and disappeared into a deep and strange valley", my heart is always tense. The person you love and the person who loves you can give you powerful magic, but the road is always yours to walk. Like the shamisen in the hand, the mother's hair and the father's bowstring are all strength, but only with yourself is the shamisen.
The ending is a bit rushed, and it is taken for granted that evil is more powerful than righteousness. As long as the protagonist wakes up, he does not need a natural way to win. Grandfather also changed from Moon King to Alzheimer's to achieve understanding and integration. But since they have the heart to let both their parents die, such a reconciliation is somewhat powerless.
You have to walk the road yourself, but you can still take some power with you.
