Just three days in the theatre but "Boruto: Naruto the Movie" already raises pertinent questions about the relationship between Boruto and Naruto, his father.
In previous sequels, fans met Naruto as a hero and leader; now, in "Boruto: Naruto the Movie" he is portrayed as a father who is bad at it. Being a terrible father does not mean the movie is bad altogether. In fact, within the three days in theatre, the movie that stars the confident Boruto already raked in a whole $5.46 million, Christian Today reported.
"Boruto: Naruto the Movie" is essentially two movies in a single film. The first film, which is much better than the other, is the tale of the ostensible character. In this first movie, Boruto is an impulsive child and emotionally destroyed - majorly because of his association with his father, Naruto.
From the onset, Naruto has been inclined to be the greatest Hokage, and by the time the movie happens, he has worked hard to accomplish that goal. The village of Leaf is more affluent than ever before, and there is tranquility in the different nations. Under Naruto's reign, there have been notable improvements in terms of technology.
It is unfortunate that the best Hokage is the worst father, just because he is a workaholic. In addition, he relies on his shadow clones to help him out with work. The biggest issue is that when it comes to crucial family matters, he sends a clone as opposed to going by himself or even decides to use an impersonal email, Kotaku unveiled.
Seeing his family being treated secondary in importance for the entire lifetime, Boruto has beyond just a small level of hatred for his renowned father. However, behind the hatred is the desire for recognition by his father - to make sure that the father puts him before everything else.
To attain this, Boruto is convicted that he must go beyond his father. He tries to do everything personally, relying on shadow clones as opposed to trusting his teammates and friends. Furthermore, he goes to Sasuke so that he can train under the wandering ninja so that he learns his father's weaknesses.
In the course of the training, it is notable that Boruto is quick to anger. He does not want to fail because failure justifies his father perceiving him secondary in importance.
