"Ghost Mother" is actually an anime movie I saw a few years ago, and when I first watched it, I didn't have a deep understanding of this movie, and I thought that Ghost Mother was really scary. When I watched it for the second time, I found a very resonance, especially the contradiction between parents and children. Watching "Ghost Mother" again this time makes me want to analyze this anime from the perspective of a child.
Although "Ghost Mother" is only an anime movie, it contains many philosophies. In this story, Caroline's parents, like most real-life parents, are busy with work but neglect to take care of their children. They want to work to create a better family environment for their children, as well as a better future.
The more time they put into their work, the more they get paid. The same is true of their intentions, but as their daily time is squeezed by work, they have less and less time to spend with their children. Slowly, they forget the existence of the child and ignore the child's growth.
Through the eyes of the toy, the ghost mother sees Caroline's inner desire, so she tries everything to meet Caroline's needs, in order to gain Caroline's favor, and finally let Caroline indulge in it, gradually forgetting the real family and parents.
These arrangements of the ghost mother are like the tricks of strangers to abduct children. The child's heart is mostly simple, who is good to her, to meet his wishes, he will believe that person. The essence of the ghost mother is not much different from the real-life human trafficker.
But the existence of the ghost mother greatly satisfies the child's desire for the love of the original family. In fact, in the eyes of children, they have never thought about how much pressure parents have and how much money they need to earn. They only care about whether their parents care about themselves, whether they have time to accompany themselves, what they lack is not only material companionship, but also spiritual companionship.
Although Caroline's parents lived under the same roof as Caroline, there was little effective communication between them. Parents are busy with the manuscript every day, the husband and wife are even separated, writing alone in different rooms, and even the lovers do not have extra time to communicate, how much time can they squeeze out to communicate and play with their children?
Parents want to give their children a better childhood life, but their children's childhood is not something that can be exchanged for a pink villa. Parents thought they would make money quickly, but they were all wrong. When they actually make enough money, they find that the child may already be very large.
The child's childhood is only a few years, and as he grows older, the distance between parents and their children will become farther and farther. One day, when parents look back at their children, they find that the children have grown up unconsciously, and as parents they seem to have disappeared from the most important stage of their children.
What children yearn for is the companionship of their parents in childhood, even if they enjoy a hearty dinner together, it is an extremely happy thing for children. Children's desires are also very simple, a lollipop, a playground can make them happy for a long time.
Children's hearts are always extremely fragile, if there is the love of parents (not coddling), they can also develop a correct outlook on life and values as soon as possible, and will not be looking for the memories that are missing in childhood when they grow up.
