Onward
2020
I mean what a movie... The second best animation I've watched all year (after klaus).
The movie takes the cliches from other movies, puts them together... and makes something wonderful out of it! There are many movies about magic. And many others about technology and modernization! But to put these together. Its something that I had never seen. A new concept.
The movie talks about how magic has left their world. Not wirh a curse, no, just with time and a little bit of laziness. And it can be applied to our world as well... its true that magic, in the literal sense of the word, has never actually been part of our world. But mystery, wonders and imagination... these have certainly left our world... not completely but partly. In my life time I remember I wished many times to have been born 500 years ago. The reason was because back then there was still half of the world unknown... mysteries... legends.
The movie ISN'T against technology.
It mostly talks about finding the balance...
Not forgetting who we were. Bring a little bit of those beliefs and wonders to the new world, this new era. And yet the movie is still much more than that. The movie also talks about family and love... The relationship between two brothers and the pure love that can be there. It talks about these bonds in the most beautifull way...
I could go on and on...
But lets just watch.
Rate: 9/10
