That side of the door is not heaven

Not scary, but dark and
not miserable, but it

has been so long since the heavy childhood left me, but after watching the movie, I couldn't help but sigh that the world, even for a child, is very cruel.
Dad is busy, mother is busy.
Dad won't listen to what you say, and mother should not believe your strange talk.
Most of the things I expected could not get
the vitality. I
found a door to another world in a gray coat , which was a home that met all my expectations. Culinary Master's mother, artist father, magical garden, incredible performance, obedient partner. . . . . .
Then what? This fantasy world shattered just when my mother was about to sew a pair of button eyes on herself.
Mom will take away your eyes and replace them with buttons, so that you will always be a ghost doll.
There are no magical plants in Dad's garden. It is all weird monsters. The
neighbors are just replicas.
After helping them, their rotten arms and button eyes are all desperate.
Everything is fake, just to trick you into the bait. If you want to get more, you have to keep yourself alive.

But after getting out of danger, what happens when I get home?
Dad is very busy, mother is very busy,
no one listens to you, no one believes what you say,

but is there no change?
Yes, what has changed is that
she no longer expects her parents to become what she expects, but to grow up on her own.

Caroline planted fiery red tulips in the garden and invited all the neighbors. Mom and Dad nodded and said, yes.
At this end, I really like that
I think I will have a child in the future. In her childhood, she must not be underestimated or ignored, otherwise it will push her into a superficially fantasy world full of dark traps.
If she didn't have Caroline's sturdiness and bravery, I might, and would lose her forever.

Colors, even when they are the most brilliant, are cold-tuned. In the end, Caroline's intense scene transition when looking for ghost eyes, the color change makes people feel a sense of rapid oppression, and she admires the bravery of this little girl.

Coraline quotes

  • Other Father: [robotic] All will be swell, soon as Mother's refreshed. Her strength is our strength...

    [one of the robotic hands closes his mouth forcefully]

    Other Father: Mustn't... talk when Mother's not here.

    Coraline Jones: If you won't even talk to me, I'm gonna find the other Wybie. He'll help me.

    Other Father: No point.

    [face distorts]

    Other Father: He pulled a loooong face... and Mother didn't like it.

  • Coraline Jones: [on the "Other" Mother] Why does she want me?

    Cat: She wants something to love, I think. Something that isn't her. Or, maybe she'd just love something to eat.

    Coraline Jones: Eat? That's ridiculous, mothers don't eat... daughters.

    Cat: I don't know. How do you taste?

    [chuckles]
