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.

    Imagination and art are really good, but unfortunately the evil sisters and the big boss Luna are too weak, and the conflict is solved very little. It's hard to imagine that Hanzo with the possessed beetle would be such a second-hand. And in the pure Japanese background, all kinds of American expressions are too dramatic. In the end, I still have to pay tribute to the strong international influence of Japanese samurai movies, and there are still international fans paying tribute so many years after his death.

    Very distinctive Japanese-style American stop-motion animation. Although the plot is just like that, there are various aesthetic elements in Japanese clothes, shamisen storytelling, origami animation, big boats of leaves, gloomy oriental magic, memorial culture that focuses on memories, and American coldness. The humor is combined, except for the big bugs of the big boss, they are all bizarre and not blunt, and fascinating. The voice of the boss Voldemort, Ralph Fiennes is really finalized..

Kubo and the Two Strings quotes

  • 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.

    Kubo: [kneeling before two lanterns] Hello, mother. Father. I know my stories can tend to get a little... Mm, long... So I'll keep this brief. I'm very grateful I've had the chance to meet you both, hear your wisdom, feel your kindness, even eat a meal sitting between you. This was a happy story. But, it could still be a whole lot happier. I don't know exactly what the rules are, or how this works, but if there were any, way to... You know... I still need you. So I could say this has been a happy story, or I could feel it... We could all feel it. And then we could end this story - together.

    Kubo: [now as a memory, standing with his parents] The end.
