Because the original work of Gui Mu is a black fairy tale, although henry selick slightly adapted it in the process of animation production, it still maintains the original style in controlling the overall tone of the whole work. So the animation still presents the gloomy and depressing atmosphere of the original. ? This is a family story in the name of love, but this work is different from the traditional family story and breaks the general way of telling family stories. ? But because of this, this film is not only for children, but also for adults to think about.
? Gui Mu? The story happened in a gray house. ? The house looks like a haunted house because of the bad weather and dark clouds outside. Caroline is a teenage girl. Since she moved here with her parents, she has hated this depressing atmosphere. Besides, her parents' usual indifference and irritability, talkative neighbors and naughty boys upset her. ? Caroline began to get used to exploring her surroundings. She seems to be playing a treasure hunt.
There is no time to spend with Caroline's parents, so let her count the windows and doors to kill time. ? While doing this extremely boring thing, she happened to find the thirteenth door of the house. ? We know that 13 is an unlucky number in the west, and the 13 gate here is also a moral. Curious Caroline opened the door, but there were only red bricks behind it. ? One night, when she woke up unexpectedly, she found a light shining through the door. She opened the door out of curiosity. Inside the door is a wonderful passage, and she doesn't know what unknown world it leads to. ? In order to explore the unknown world, Caroline walked into the door. Then a series of things happened. So I think "Ghost Mom" won the Oscar nomination for best animated film because it caused adults to reflect.
