Dissatisfaction with life is the black hole of life

Will watch "Ghost Mother" and be attracted by the name. If it's a live-action film, I'm rarely interested. But it is a cartoon, and such a name and subject matter are weird for cartoons.

The realistic effect and the bizarre plot are not enough to sum up its specialness. The key is that this is like a black fable in the real world.

In fact, it is not scary, but the film is always filled with the treacherous "mountain rain is coming and the wind is all over the building", suggesting that something will happen.

The appearance of the ghost mother is due to Caroline's dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction is like a seed, which gradually sprouts, which is an opportunity for the ghost mother to approach the children.

The ghost mother treats you well and obeys your wishes in order to eat your soul. And most children often cannot tell this.

The child is easy to believe in people, and the child is simple, so the story becomes scary.

And in each of us, who is not more or less living with a child? He often appears in the dead of night, lonely and lonely, squeezing our reason.

The ghost mother is the dark matter of this world. She comes prepared, aimed at your needs, and looted purposefully.

When an MLM organization finds young people who are unsuccessful, when a briber prepares a place in a prestigious school for officials who make mistakes in the college entrance examination, when a scam dandy shows a considerate demeanor to young and lonely young women, how many of them can be like Like Caroline, she reveals the true face of Mother Ghost.

As the poster says "Be careful what you wish for", the

scary thing is not the ghost mother, but our own greed and weakness.

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]
