Today I woke up and not even 10 mins into the day and had a huge fight with my parents, and sometimes when that happens I can’t help but think about beautiful movies with family teaching like kung fu panda or Kubo and I’m just like, man fuck that crap! Like fuck the awful resolution of those problems fuck the director fuck the writer who thought they knew how abuse family problems works, fuck it with a stick and dig it straight into the fucking dirt ala vlad the impaler so everyone can see how fucking hilariously bad that thing was!!

Sorry because it's a very personal matter but I understand that anger qgausnt movies and stories about faaaamily and stuff and then you see you own family and it's like "oh screw you all "

is not so much as comparing my screwball family to fictional perfect familes, but more about fiction making awful familes and always making the main character (usually the suffering victim of them) to accept and love their awful family becuase they “love them” in their awful way and if don’t is becuase you are likely too evil and full of bitter hate to be saved

like, what the hell is that???

Been a while since I saw any of those movies or any family animated feature, but I don't think any of them deal with family abuse. Which is a bloody shame because there should be movies about that too. I'd relate more to them that's for sure. It's easy to project onto them, but if there is anything I learned during film studies it's that creators of family flicks are terrified of touching the topic of abuse in the family in any meaningful way.

both movies main deal/threat has to do with dealing with partial or full on ramifications of bad family relationships get you! so for me thats dealing with abuse, is not my fault they act like “look how nicely we fixed the problem!“ when they just do a mediocre resolution of how to go at family issues

under the cut for rant about how fuckup this movies get me!

Kubo is a very beautifully made movie with great storytelling for the most part, but I agree fully on the ending. It didn't feel like a resolution, it felt more confusing than anything. What was it supposed to show? That sometimes you *have* to forgive family, even though they treated you like shit?

I know!! it feels so off that is just “lets pretend nothing happened!“ as kids, what are they suppost to get from it? “forgive jerkass elder family“??? and as adults what is that too? “doesnt’t matter if you are awful, your kids while learn to forgive you? and if not you can now be a cute granpa to your grandchildren and act liek if your own kids are crazy if they act resentful“

if they tried to teach that “love will set you free“ they did it in a very weird specific way
