Review of the cartoon Coraline in the land of nightmares. Door in the wall
A girl named Coralina (not Carolina, but Coralina!) moves with her parents to live in a country house. Her parents are busy with some urgent work and pay little attention to the girl, inviting her to explore the surroundings or count all the windows and doors in the house. Coraline explores the surroundings, counts the windows and doors in the house and finds a small secret door through which she enters another house, where she meets another mom and another dad with shiny black buttons for eyes. Other parents fulfill all the wishes of Coraline and offer her to stay with them forever, but for this you need to sew black buttons instead of eyes. Superbly detailed 3D cartoon by Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas) – that rare case when the use of 3D technology in cinema is justified by the material being movieed, and not by the fact that `` this is cool! ''. The world-on-the-side-door, into which Coraline falls, differs from her real world not only in brighter colors and beauties - and ndash; it is literally livelier and deeper, and looks like a magical radiant illusion. So, putting on 3D glasses in the cinema, you renounce the gray reality and you yourself find yourself in another world on the other side of the screen. Neil Gaiman's wonderful scary tale about Coraline, beloved and popular in the West, is almost unknown in USA, so distributors added `` In the Land of Nightmares '' to the original title of the cartoon. There are really many different horror stories in the cartoon: even in the opening credits of the cartoon, a certain mechanism gutted a rag doll, and a huge needle, sewing on buttons-eyes, passes through the fabric and rests almost on your face. For young children, animated Coraline - perhaps a thriller, but at the same time it is a touching, smart and cozy fairy tale that tells a lot about the most important things in life. Another mother, luring Coraline into the house on the other side of the door, all the time says that she loves her, and that she will fulfill any of her wishes and whims. And this is no lie – it's just that Coraline (and with her the children in the auditorium) at some point realizes that there are different kinds of love: as in the anecdote about tomatoes, we all love to eat them, and so – not. Neil Gaiman said of Coraline that it was a tale of bravery, and bravery is a story. this is when you are afraid, but you do it anyway, because you cannot do otherwise. All of this is true of Henry Selick's awesome puppet show: he – about the courage to accept a world in which everything good and priceless does not happen by itself, by magic – you need to make an effort and do something important for you, even if you are very afraid. And the child, who at one time understood this, is no longer afraid of any witches and dragons. The Topic of Article: Review of the cartoon Coraline in the land of nightmares. Door in the wall. |
