time, memory and story

Gabe 2022-04-23 07:01:59

The only thing that can fight against time is memory, memory gives strength, and stories make people happy. The mother's hair and one of my own are real memories, two strings point the question, and the power comes from this. (Look carefully, there are two, and the thick one in the middle is the piano column.) The armor is the story told by the mother, which constitutes the main line of Kubo's growth. However, the point is not this objectified goal, but the thing that has always been by his side, piano. But ordinary strings are not without appearance, and only the stories of their own personal experience can move people's hearts and gain strength. The form of Japan, the story of the East; the previous Mulan just told the story of the United States in the form of China, follow your heart, freedom, and some conceptualization. This time, it's about family, time, memory, story (itself), and philosophy comes alive. Eyes-soul, focus, put the spirit into it, and forget the time and time to make sense, which must be the reason why the director focuses on the traditional form of stop-motion animation, which is laborious and time-consuming.

Kubo and the Two Strings quotes

  • Beetle: I have a feeling this is my destiny.

    Monkey: No, it isn't! We can't trust anything you say, because *you* can't trust anything you say.

  • Kubo: Why does grandfather hate me?

    Monkey: Oh, Kubo. He doesn't hate you. He wants to make you just like him. Blind to humanity as I once was. Only then can you take your place beside him as part of his family. Cold and hard and perfect.
