Review of Kubo and the Two Strings (2016) by Stcenterprise . — 15 Sep 2016

Kubo and the Two strings.

A film that was advertised to sound like a kids film with slap stick comedy in the trailers but in reality covers simple, more important story issues and has very little slap stick. In fact most of the funny parts were told in the trailer.

One of my favorite parts is the Asian sounding music.

I like the important issues this film covers such as the importance of the telling the story, memories, ancestors. Memories becomes an important part of the film for telling the stories and fact that some characters have troubles telling their stories.

In many ways I did not know what to expect from this film because the trailers to me portrayed a slap stick kids comedy of things I have seen better told before.

Stay during the credits for the behind the scenes to how they made.

This movie was really good when it came to the water And backgrounds it was hard to see when it was stop motion is some cases.

There were a lot of metaphors. It is a coming of age story. A boy learning to become an adult.

The armor was a metaphor to help tell the story. But what proved the most useful was not those elements but the musical instrument to be able to tell the story.

I think that a lot of the jokes were told during the trailer so I did not find this film all that funny.

I think that this film was a little slow as far as the passé of the film for my taste just because in some parts I was not exactly sure where they were trying to go for the film.
