"Kubo and the Two Strings" is an excellent picture, based in stop motion animation and the longest film of this type to date. The story is rich in Buddhist contexts highlighting a belief in a Pure Land and an acknowledgment that although life is suffering, there are many things that make it beautiful, friends, family, love and compassion. The film explores all of the aforementioned themes in kind. All-in-all it really captured my imagination. I found myself quite taken with the film, both in the visuals and the story. I would recommend this to anyone interested in stop-motion or Buddhism.
