I just saw Kubo and the Two Strings, and everyone in my family wants to know “why is it called **two strings* when the shamisen he’s playing has three strings? In fact, the name of the instrument (三味線) literally means three strings.
To help him on his journey, there are three characters – two of them based on the two objects he was given (and told to carry) by his mother: her monkey charm and his father’s robe with the crest of a beetle – and the third a small origami samurai (symbolizing his own story-telling), who always points the way forward.
Kubo and the Two Strings represents the gold standard in narration, paired with an incredible animation style that engrosses audiences in a scene and story, like a kid around a campfire. "If you must blink, do it now"- narration as a storytelling tool.
