I think it is to depict the emotional ups and downs of a family that has suffered misfortune in the process of rebuilding and healing, and adding the element of eccentricity to the emotional twists and turns of people. I feel that Japanese animation movies are the best at it.
Taozi's personality is quite the temperament of a middle-aged teenager in a big city now, and there is no lack of a girl's delicate mind, stubbornness, and esteem for family. After her father's misfortune, her mother decided to leave the sad metropolis and return to her father's hometown. In this case, the whole mood of the little girl was depressed, contradictory and helpless. Mother is busy, and the two lack communication, so Taozi is still closed and depressed. The appearance of the three monsters broke this situation. At this time, the style of painting became brisk and clear, and the source of the monsters was also carefully explained. It turned out to be a temporary replacement for the patron saint. Momoko's mood also became brighter. However, the hidden contradiction between mother and daughter still needs to be highlighted. The explanation of the plot is that the relatives are too worried about each other's thoughts and lack of communication, which leads to the outbreak of misunderstanding between the two and the mother's asthma recurrence. At this time, it was also a big outbreak of Taozi's feelings for his father and mother, and he left infinite regrets for the bad things his father said before his death. The mother also became seriously ill because she was worried about herself. This is also the climax of the plot. Who cares about who, who cares Whoever wants to break out at a suitable time anyway, with the help of the monster collective, Momoko invites a doctor to save her mother.
I think that everything a movie must tell a story, and the reason does not need to be emphasized. It is what the audience needs to enjoy the process. And the connotation of enjoyment is actually to understand the psychological ups and downs of the protagonist. This movie does a good job. The downside I think might be that the whole movie is a bit bland, maybe too bland.
