Coraline is a little girl full of adventure, ancient houses, bottomless ancient wells, all together aroused her to this world Curiosity.
However, her parents seemed to be secular adults who only worked at the computer and shouted at her impatiently, don`t boring me.
One day, the little girl found a small door and was surprised to find that it could lead into another world. There, everyone’s eyes became buttons, but she had another pair of kind, elegant, and meticulous parents, with delicious turkey, creamy ice bullying, mango milkshake, and thousands of flowers in the garden. Wan Duo can sing and dance with glowing flowers, and even the boring neighbor in reality has become a performance artist. She got unexpected surprises in this world.
And just as Coraline was immersed in this wonderful world, the "other mother" took out something that had been prepared for a long time, a pair of black buttons. "Mom" said to coraline, as long as you are willing to sew these black buttons on your eyes, you can stay in this beautiful world forever.
Coraline suddenly woke up, "the other world" seemed too perfect, perfect and unreal, and everyone here had big buttons sewn on their eyes. She didn't want her eyes to turn into buttons, so she was decisive. Shouted NO!
In fact, this little girl coraline, who dared to pursue dreams and sighed with dissatisfaction with reality, is exactly our childhood. We dream of strange things, dream of having beautiful parents and friends, dream of adventure. But with the passage of time, we become the parents who live in reality, and people who live for life, but lose the courage to say no to what we don’t want to do; then, we become living again. The "ghost mother" in the dream dreams that everyone will live according to their own wishes and control the whole world. Then, we also become unhappy people, wanting to exchange all kinds of materials for happiness.
In the end, the brave coraline, after discovering that her parents in reality were also captured by "ghost mothers", once again returned to the evil world to save her parents and liberated the soul trapped in the house. These plots are similar to Hayao Miyazaki’s The movie "Spirited Away" seems to have different tunes but equal work. I also think of the "faceless man" who changes as long as he eats. He will only constantly devour desires, but his soul is a lonely man standing in the rain. Just think about it, that person will only lose himself due to changes in the environment. Does the "faceless man" symbolize the other us?
In fact, the little coraline just entered an adult world and got everything she wanted. The condition was to exchange her own soul, but the adult did not withstand the temptation of dreams, but coraline chose to reject the ghost mother's "button eyes".
If one day you feel that you become unhappy, perhaps, you just lost the true self.
