Like Zombie Bride, the reality of Coraline's life is gloomy and uninteresting. On the other side of the door, there are sunshine flowers, and the attention and love of everyone that she only dreamed of. Who doesn't want love? The fairy tale is like this, it is farther than the dream, but closer to the heart than the reality.
And when everything you want seems to be within reach, do you really want it? Don't think about the price to pay? The longing in the soul, like heaven, turned into a nightmare in an instant.
Fairy tales, sci-fi, fantasy, approach this theme over and over again: We're humans. We are pathetic. We don't get what we want. And when we get it, we won't like it. The hideousness and helplessness of life are fairy tales that teach us to be brave in a warm way.
I don't like the translated name "Ghost Mom". It lets people know at a glance the direction and ending of the movie. Such a captivating film, how can it be like this?
