there is always someone to accompany you

There are three images that impressed me the most in this movie:
the first is Norman's little fat friend, I think everyone would like to have such a friend, any trouble and pain will be eliminated in his light-heavy wisdom, and he And always stand by your side when you are in danger, don't care about other people's eyes, make you happy.
The second is the image of the mother. There are three mothers in it, Norman's grandmother, the mother and the little witch's mother. Their images are all positive, responsible, understanding husbands and sons, and they are the bridging agent of the family, even if she can't She understands the child, but she embraces the child with words and actions. On the contrary, the father will only recognize the child when the child has won him glory and made him very face-to-face in front of everyone.
The third is that the movie borrows some of the main line of Silent Hill, that is, the girl with supernatural powers is regarded as the incarnation of evil, and is wronged and killed, and the grievances linger, and continue to harm the story of this area. The obvious part of learning from Silent Hill is that whenever Norman travels between reality and the little witch's memory, the surface of the world in the animation will peel off like burning, as if from the surface world into the inner world.

    The old-fashioned plot destroys the aura that animation should have

    Please tell me what's so good about this movie... Weak plot... Nothing bright except for the cute little fat man

ParaNorman quotes

  • Aggie: Aggie... My name was Aggie... I - I remember... My mommy brought me here once. We sat under the tree and she told me stories. They all had happy endings. Then those horrible men came and took me away and I never saw her again!

    Norman Babcock: Sometimes when people get scared, they say and do terrible things. I think you got so scared that you forgot who you are. But I don't think you're a witch. Not really.

    Aggie: You don't?

    Norman Babcock: I think you're just a little kid with a really special gift who only ever wanted people to understand her. So we're not all that different at all.

    Aggie: But what about the people who hurt you? Don't you ever want to make them suffer?

    Norman Babcock: Well, yeah, but what good would that do? You think just because there's bad people that there's no good ones either? I thought the same thing for a while. But there's always someone out there for you. Somewhere.

    Aggie: I just want my mommy.

    Norman Babcock: I'm sorry, Aggie. She's gone.

    Aggie: That story you were telling. How does it end?

    Norman Babcock: I think that's up to you.

    Aggie: Is this where they buried me?

    Norman Babcock: It's a pretty good place to sleep. Then you can be with your mom again.

  • Neil: So what do we do now?

    Norman Babcock: Uhh... I... I - I really don't know.

    Courtney: Yes you do, Norman. You've gotta get to that witch's grave.

    Norman Babcock: But...

    Courtney: But nothing, you listen to me, buster. We didn't turn away when Daleridge High was slaughtering our volleyball team, did we?

    Norman Babcock: Yeah, we did.

    Courtney: No, we didn't. I have cheered the un-cheerable, Norman. And I'm not letting you give up now.
