Indulging in illusory dreams will eventually bring destruction to reality, illusory space will always collapse, and you will inevitably be swallowed up by seductive illusions, and the only choice is to jump out of the dream and return to the world that is imperfect but still beautiful. The ghost mother that I want to recommend to you today is a work that depicts dreams and reality.
"Ghost Mother" is the American Focus Film Company and 2009 released the thriller fantasy type of animated film, the entire work in the first half has been melancholy, desolate and decadent picture, until the heroine Caroline entered the dream when she opened a colorful, dazzling picture, the production of the background before and after the sharp contrast, the completely different style of painting so that the audience can clearly feel the great difference between the unreal world and the real world.
In the real world, Caroline moves with her parents to a gloomy and eerie town, and the inquisitive Caroline discovers many strange things, and the retired circus actors who live upstairs train the circus clowns all day long—cute little mice, the freak sisters next door always quarrel, and the neighbor boys always behave strangely. Caroline's parents are always busy with work in real life and do not ask Caroline, which makes Caroline deeply buried dissatisfaction with the real family.
In the unreal world, caroline's fantasies about real life are realized, and for her meticulous ghost mother and ghost father, delicious meals and beloved toys, she is suddenly addicted to the beauty of the false world. Not only Caroline, but in this dangerous world, the dreams of everyone in the town are fulfilled.
However, if one is always in a state of being satisfied, it is easy to lose oneself. Caroline suddenly awakens when the ghost mother wants to put button eyes on herself and wants to keep her in this world forever, she does not want to live a controlled life, so she begins to look for a way out of the ghost world, and finally returns to the real world with the help of the neighbor's little boy.
It is always easy for people not to be satisfied with the status quo, always want to cultivate a fantasy of a beautiful world in their minds, and in the animation, it is to use this weakness of human nature to create a ghost world to encircle those who cannot withstand temptation.
Under all kinds of temptations, people's hearts are swallowed up, people are loaded with mechanical button eyes with no signs of life, and finally lose their way in the world they have constructed.
We need to have dreams, but once the dream is easily realized, the mentality is easy to be erratic, the dream is actually just the direction of our life, what we pursue is not necessarily the realization of the dream, the important thing is to experience the process of this chase and find the value of life in it.
Night and night unless good dreams leave people to sleep~
Dreams will eventually wake up one day, if you spend your life on fantasy, then when you wake up the day you will find that you have nothing but dreams.
