This causes Kubo's mother to go into a depressed state. One daughter (Kubo's mother) marries Hanzo. TL DR - Kubo's grandfather was once a normal dude with three daughters. The way to defeat The Moon King wasn't with weapons or force, but instead with peace and reason. violence" which is a theme that I believe gets more important with every year that passes. I also believe the way The Moon King was defeated (with the music/memories rather than the three golden items) was a brilliant demonstration of the theme "pacifism vs. The Sisters never felt the love that Kubo's mother felt so they see the grief as a fully negative emotion (not seeing that the grief is in a sort of Ying Yang with many happy emotions like love). Then when Hanzo died The Sisters saw the grief just like the grandfather did. The Sisters sorta hated Kubo's mother because of this. The villagers then tell Kubo's grandfather the TRUTH about who he is, or better yet, who he was.Ī further interpretation I had although less important (and less evidence to support it) is that The Sisters also wanted to marry Hanzo, but Kubo's mother got to him first. He ultimately takes his mothers side and in turn converts his grandfather too. His one missing eye is a symbol that reflects his struggle between his mothers way and his grandfathers in dealing with grief.
#Kubo and the two strings theory movie#
At the end of the movie his does just this, Kubo learns its better to accept the negative memories with the good rather than hide or fight them (shown by overcoming The Moon King with "song" (memories) rather than violence). Kubo is also feeling grief from his parents deaths (mostly his mother cause he really never knew Hanzo), but wishes to "let them pass" and become stronger from them, fully understanding what his mother tried to teach him. The Moon King wants to convert Kubo into his cold ways, whereas Kubo hopes to fully embrace his memories. His mother taught him that memories and love are important. Kubo then goes on his journey with only his memories to guide him. This in turn takes away the happy emotions to, and the once generous old man becomes cold and neglecting to the villagers around him. But after he saw the tragedy of Kubo's parents (Hanzo dying and Mother feeling depressed) he chooses to let go of those emotions to never feel sad. I believe that The Moon King was once a regular old man, most likely a generous old man, assuming we take what the villagers said. The two sisters follow in The Moon King's footsteps, but Kubo's mother refuses because she understands that the grief she feels was worth the love for Hanzo (sort of a "Beautiful Sadness" by Butters (South Park)). So he becomes The Moon King an man void of love and therefore grief. The death of Hanzo sent Kubo's mother into grief and the grandfather saw what human emotions can do to people. Like the stories say, Hanzo died long ago and Kubo's mother died protecting Kubo during the first act of the movie. Monkey and Beetle were simply memories that Kubo chose to keep in order to symbolically defeat the evil Moon King. I also believe that throughout most of the movie both Kubo's parents are in fact dead. I viewed the "lies" the villagers told Kubo's grandfather not lies at all, but instead forgotten truths. My interpretation of the ending was a little different. (I may be exaggerating the negative view audiences had on the ending, but most people I have talked to either didn't understand it or disliked it for being slightly "hypercritical"). Not only did the ending seem hypocritical to some, but it was confusing and not fully understood by others only adding in its controversy. During the final act of the film it is revealed to the audience that Beetle is indeed Hanzo and his memories were taken from him which is an act that is suppose to be seen as "evil", because of this the decision to lie to Kubo's grandfather (The Moon King) about who he was instead of telling him the truth was viewed negatively by some viewers. The films themes and messages largely stem from memories and the importance of them. Despite the praise I have seen many people criticize the ending for its controversial decisions.
Saw the movie last night and like most I believed the film was spectacular. Thanks to those who read all of my thoughts, but if you dont want to TLDR at bottom.
