Day 5: Favorite Parallel I don't even know if this counts as one, but it has to be the "if you must blink, do it now" one. In the beginning of his story, Kubo is nowhere near as damaged and broken and he says it every day. The impact isn't nearly as deep as what it would have been when he says it the final time. You can see the pain in his eye, the fact that he lost his parents still shows but he chooses at that moment to accept it for real. The pain I felt in this moment was a heart wrenching one where I just wanted to hold onto him and tell him that it would all be okay. This moment made me mumble in the theater "my son" and made me even more attached. But the fact that in the beginning of the movie where it seems so little and unimportant makes it a beacon in the end of the movie, with all new emotion and levels of reading his pain and grief only to be welcomed by a large crowd of people and love flowing all around him. (It took me like 85 years to find these gifs I'm sorry)
