One day I went to see a stop-motion animation film "Kubo and the Erxian Qin" (also translated as "The Legend of Magic Strings"), and after watching it, I realized that my thoughts had more emotional factors. In fact, in the torrent of time between heaven and earth, it is Stories and memories make us who we are, and chasing after the end allows our culture to continue, so that the lost relatives and the past are immortal.
The story told in the film is like a look back into the abyss, and the storyteller is being told by the story. Kubo, who lives in the countryside by the sea, makes a living by playing the piano and origami and selling stories. The story of the hero Hanzo was told to him by his sickly and delicate mother. Unfortunately, the mother, whose mind was damaged during the escape, only has a moment of sobriety every day. His story is highly sought after in the downtown area. The juvenile buddies take off their hats, the ploughers forget their plows, and the hoes forget their hoes. He obeyed his mother's warning to rush back to the cave home before dark, because his grandfather and aunt were still chasing him. Until one day when it was like the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the comrades in the market rushed to the river to pay their respects to their relatives, and he also wanted to meet the father he had never met.
When night fell, the aunts who had been chasing Kubo for a long time appeared. In order to save him, his mother exhausted the last mana and sent him wings to escape. Then there is the usual hero growth story, he incarnates as the hero father in his own story to find the magic suit, sword, armor and helmet. Under the protection of his mother and Beetle's father, he successfully broke through 3 levels and obtained the artifact, but his parents also sacrificed in the fight with his aunt.
In the end, the ultimate boss Luna came out - his grandfather, clamoring to dig out his eyes in order to fulfill his happiness, keeping this eye can only make him continue to suffer in the world.
''You can only be trapped in this terrible hell, with your only eye left, looking at the suffering of the world, misfortune and hatred, and death, where I am taking you, there is no such thing, Only you and your family, this is where you belong. '' It means that Kubo's stupid parents do not know that only by living forever in the Guanghan Palace with the family together can they live forever and live a true happiness, but for a moment of passion, they abandoned their family and their mission and fell into the mortal world to suffer. Growing up by his mother's side, listening to his father's stories, and feeling the love and warmth of a loving family after a short reunion of his parents, Kubo fought back against this evil god with a simple life wish: ''You can see the soul only if you have eyes, do you think Take my eyes away because you are afraid that I see the colors of the world. ''Although people cannot live forever, the story will end. However, memory is also powerful. The things that people love and are familiar with are always in my memory. The most powerful magic is this. It makes us stronger than before. Those who are in our hearts Beautiful memories of love and loss, if we keep these stories deep in our hearts, you'll never want to take him away from us, that's all.
The magic weapon could not resist Luna's attack. His two-stringed violin was in bad shape. In the end, Kubo changed his father Hanzo's bowstring and his mother's hair into strings. The tune he played conquered the evil god and purifies his grandfather's sins. . In the ancestor worship session in the film, people summoned the souls of ancestors to reunite and communicate through traditional customs such as paper making and lighting. The family reunited with the story; following the traditions of family remembrance, we are not powerless to resist in the face of life and death.
