Likewise, stop-motion animation, which involves photographing articulated figures - dolls - one frame at a time, making tiny movements between shots to create the illusion of movement, can be delightful, like Aardman’s Wallace & Gromit and “Shaun the Sheep,” or matter-of-factly miraculous, like The Miracle Maker. Dolls, like clowns and carousels, can be charming or magical, but the possibility for creepiness is always just around the corner. The choice of stop-motion animation for the big-screen version of Coraline is an inspired one for a story that involves an uncanny rag doll with button eyes that bears a striking resemblance the young protagonist. Why would a little girl invent such a theme? Where does that come from? A part of the brain that knows what it’s doing, I suspect. Even then, though, there are subtle signs that the little girl is still ultimately in control, still telling the story herself.įantasy writer Neil Gaiman says his 2002 novella Coraline was in fact built around themes from stories that his daughter Holly improvised when she was four or five years old - stories about a girl named Holly whose mother gets kidnapped by a witch that resembles the mother. Somehow this feels like the right place to begin with Coraline, a dark fantasy with surreal elements that feel like a story that a little girl tells herself, initially for comfort and amusement, until the disquieting elements take over and the dream becomes a nightmare. But now that the dream is over, you don’t have to worry about having it again. Maybe being scared in a dream helps you to be braver and less scared in the real world. And I think that part of us usually knows what it’s doing - and God knows that. Sometimes good stories, sometimes scary stories… but stories we make up ourselves, with a different part of our brain. But I think most dreams, good or bad, are like stories that we tell ourselves - stories that a part of your brain tells to another part of your brain. Still they can't remember anything.About These Ratings I know it seems like bad dreams are something bad that just happens to you. They were actually trapped in the alternate reality. If Coraline can remember everything why can't they? What's the hidden meaning of it from the viewpoint of mind control? Coraline even saw snow in their hair and jacket, so it wasn't a dream.
Then Coraline rescued her parents through some events, but her parents can't remember what happened? Question is why not? At a point, "other mother" trapped Coraline's parent using the same way she provoked Coraline to enter in her world (using dolls). How she went, what she has done, the beauty, the horror. An alternate reality that provides so much comfortableness that one simply just ignores reality and wants to live in that world.īut the 'other mother' from Coraline's alternate reality is a witch who wants to trap her forever.Įach time Coraline went to that alternate world she remembers everything. It interprets the procedure of mind control for leaving pain.
#What is the film coraline theme movie
So I learnt many things about Coraline from "The Hidden Meaning of the Movie “Coraline”īasically it looks like a normal fantasy animation movie, but it actually has a deeper meaning.
