Coraline

From the film Coraline we get to see what it is like to have a living mother but the main character Coraline doesn’t see her as a good mother. With her mother being there

and not as an absence figure Coraline is able to get a perspective

of what a loving mother is. Coraline although wishes if her mother were

different and therefore she gets her mother taken and now must fight to

get her back. The brief moments we have in the film with the mother

missing demonstrates the inner chain lock between a mother and the children. 

   

 The movie Coraline is a lot different from the dead mother aspect, and

this is due to the fact that the mother isn’t dead, just not liked by Coraline

. She wishes that her parents were different and that she could like them more,

but not all wishes are good wishes. 

Coraline eventually gets her wish and her parents are magically

taken by the family in which she likes the most, and even when the

family she dreams of having is a reality she wants her old family back.

This inner love is what pushes her to track down her parents and rescue them from the chaos she started. 

While Coraline’s Mother wasn’t dead, she was taken instead which in the end replicates the dead mother aspect but in a more child-friendly manner. The absence of a

mother is an important role in a movie because it demonstrates the will

of a child to push through and find the happiness that can replace the missing parent.

This also drives the main plot to be more thrilling and has a more enhanced story.
