The film is divided into three stages, the first stage reflects Kubo's love for his mother. In order to escape the pursuit, Kubo and his mother hid in a cave. In order to take care of his mother, the young Kubo used paper performances to support his family. He had to return to the cave every evening to prevent his whereabouts from being discovered. The story at this stage allows us to see the characteristics of Kubo's young, sensible and independent character, which also lays the foundation for his potential to become a hero.
The second stage reflects the mother's love for Kubo. The mother and son of Kubo, whose whereabouts were exposed, used the little mana she had left to transform herself into a monkey when she was fighting against the bad guys, and embarked on a life of escape with Kubo. The story at this stage allows us to see the side of Kubo's child. He is mischievous and willful, curious and playful, which makes the monkey as a mother worry, and this stage also truly reflects the mother's tolerance and love for the child. No matter how naughty and self-willed Kubo is, the desire for protection from his mother's heart can't help expressing itself vividly, because it is natural, and it is the natural innateness of mother's love. The story at this stage is Kubo's happiest moment. Because of his mother's protection and care, he truly enjoys the joy of being a child, and can play and play and make fun of himself, and show his child's side to his heart's content.
The third stage reflects the mother's love for the father. After encountering the Beetle warrior on the way to escape, the monkey as a mother has always been grumpy about it and guarded against this guy with a skeptical attitude. , and even slowly fell in love with this guy. This is a very tangled matter, and the movie handles it quite cleverly. It seems to be narrating the occurrence of a love story, and it is also like a spiritual fit between an old husband and a wife. When all the truth is revealed, it is discovered that It turns out that all this is not a coincidence, it is driven by instinct and nature. It turns out that love has never left, but it has been revealed unknowingly when we express it, even if we forget our identity, but deep down, still It will naturally show that kind of expression of love.
Of course, the movie still shows us the expression of great love at the end. However, this is an act of a saint, full of fraternity and Zen. When Kubo forgives his grandfather's various evil deeds, whether it is Kubo or people, they use a kind of tolerance in exchange for the kindness in the hearts of wicked people, so that What people see is light and positive energy, and it has to be said that this kind of fraternity is the true soul of the film. The reason why Kubo can be called a hero is not simply that justice overcomes evil, but that he uses love to heal evil. It is a kind of saint's feelings, and it is more in line with the teachings of Western Christianity. I have to say that the film is dressed in A film about the core of Western thought in the coat of oriental elements.
As a stop-motion clay animation, the film does not feel any stiffness at all. The flowing animation effects and beautiful scene settings make this animated film full of a feeling of pursuing perfection. The film is simply Like Virgo people, it is unreasonable to demand perfection, but it is this kind of perfectionism, the movie gives people an indescribable sense of beauty, and the craftsmanship is vividly reflected in this movie. Of course, the oriental elements used in the film are also properly integrated, not only using magic to make the plot of the characters more direct, but also conveying oriental myths and legends to people. An indictment of thought.
The biggest attraction in the movie is the monkey mother who is a cute thing in the movie. She exists as Kubo's protector, but it doesn't affect the cute thing that it highlights in the movie. Just like the cute thing in Disney animation, Make the movie more fun and interesting. Although it exists in the image of a mother in the movie, the relationship between it and Kubo is more like a friendship. Without the seriousness between mother and son, Kubo can play and play wildly, like a playmate. The same existence, neither serious nor fun, makes the relationship between the characters intimate and harmonious, not only connecting the whole story, but also smoothing out the facts for the story that we do not understand. . It is such a monkey that made a lot of holes in the movie and filled them all up. When we watched the plot of this movie at a loss, what we finally got was the perception of love. The movie is not only educating us Thought, let us recognize the greatness of maternal love.
As a Beetle warrior who exists in the image of his father, isn't this the most powerful expression of his father? As fathers, we don't know how to express our feelings for our children, we don't have the same overprotective desires as mothers, but we just want them to be happy, so our relationship with our children becomes like playmates In the same way, I want him to find himself independently, and he wants him to grow up in happiness, so I accompany them to grow up together, but when the child needs protection, he will still take up the responsibility of being a father as soon as possible. Responsibility, do your best at all costs, even sacrifice your life, just like the Beetle warrior in the movie, he is not good at expressing his thoughts, but he will prove it with actions. Although this role does not feel very good, it is an indispensable role.
The story of the movie is actually a redemption of love. In this redemption, we have seen many beautiful things. Whether it is between mother and son, between father and son, even between the last enemy, love can be used to resolve hatred. The movie not only presents us with a thrilling escape journey, but also reveals the true meaning of love for us, and also expresses the essence of life, that is, love can influence everything. I have to say that the film's delicate description and mysterious exotic style deeply attracted our attention, not only created a new classic, but also touched our hearts and got love from the film The inspiration, a very good-looking movie, it is worth recommending.
