Later, I checked that the original director was Henry Selick, and his representative work was "The Nightmare Before Christmas" written by Tim Burton. The characters are also Penny with a terrifying needle and thread mouth. Tim Burton also made some animated short films when he debuted. Because the tone was too dark and was criticized as not suitable for children to watch, he gradually bid farewell to expressing in the form of animation, and replaced it with a live show, which achieved a fantasy dark combination with Johnny Depp gold. image. Probably Henry Selick is the continuation of his dream in the field of animation.
"Coraline" (Chinese translation "Ghost Mother". It's really evil. The translation uses "ghost" as a gimmick, which has nothing to do with ghosts, and the meaning of Western ghosts and Chinese ghosts is different)) such as "chicken skin" The fable of the "pimple" series: everything Coraline can't get from real workaholic parents can be obtained from "the other mother", food, games, clothes, and most importantly-treat it as As the center of attention and love. Coraline was very enjoyable at first, until she realized that the "other mother" wanted to change her eyes to the same buttons as hers, and she realized the conspiracy.
What the "other mother" provides is like a poppy, beautiful on the surface, irresistible, and endless desires are constantly realized; but the essence is a trap of step by step temptation, and finally people surrender to her and become her captive, forever Can't leave. Perhaps this is the reason why the true face of the "other mother" was designed as a giant spider, and Coraline was arranged to struggle to escape from the giant web.
Another thing that makes me shudder is the alienation into possessive love: the soft-footed cat analyzes the original intention of another mother to trap the children, and just wants someone to love. But in the end, the children were all replaced with button eyes that could never leave, and they were locked up until they died. "The other mother" warned Coraline that the proudest person will also be hurt by love. After that, the movie did not continue, and did not explain what kind of love she was hurt by? Why is love so paranoid and evolved into a powerful possessive desire. In her world, the living people are all dolls controlled by her with magic, filled with sand and stones, (Wybi, who can’t speak, is not happy in this world, and the forced smile she forcibly sewed up is almost bleak. Nearly weeping); and all the beautiful scenes are not supported by the deprived eyes of children, and become lifeless black and white. It seems to symbolize that her heart is also barren. Love is not a feeling, but an ability. She has no ability to love, and the only way to keep the people she thinks is to stay by unscrupulous means, whether they want it or not. Can the love that has lost the true meaning of love still be called love?
I really like the corridor leading to the other end of the world, like Van Gogh's "Starry Sky". Psychedelic and full of charm, blue, a little excited, a little melancholy, extending to unknown danger. In terms of dubbing, it was for Dakota Fanning to watch this film, and the performance of the genius child star is always contagious. Later, I felt that the characteristic voice with my mother was so familiar, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was Terry Hatcher. Unexpectedly, in "Desperate Housewives", the silly single mother who is often hysterical and crazy, can become very infiltrating when he threatens Coraline grimly.
