Storks: because delivering baby is not easy

I've been in love with Storks movie since I saw the trailer few months ago. Finally watched it today with Shanti. We run to the nearest cinema is in Senayan City XXI at lunch time and the theater only booked for 2 rows. Moms with toddlers, and us.

Storks tells about an adventure of Junior, the ace delivery guy who's going to be boss next week, and orphan Tulip in delivering a pink haired baby. The baby is not supposed to be made, though. It's been years since the boss closed baby factory and not delivering baby. But, Tulip accidentally drops a baby request letter to the machine and it actually produces one!
As a delivery agent, Junior sticks to the slogan "always deliver", so he's determined to complete the mission. But, as his right wing broke, he has to rely on Tulip's flying ship. Tulip has been developing a ship so one day she could use it to search for her parents. She was an artificial baby, too, but the stork assigned to deliver her failed and broke the map. She doesn't want this pink baby to face the same tragedy.

Frankly speaking, delivering baby is not easy. Especially for a broken wing stork. Junior also refuses to get closer to the baby, because he doesn't want to get attached. But, as they face danger and difficulties together, Junior starts opening up his heart.

It may starts by the cuteness of the baby, but Storks is more than about sweet faces. I take the analogy to baby's delivering mom. The 9 months struggle is hardly comprehend to anyone who's never do it. Uneasiness, sickness, and mood changing....all the weird stuffs are occurring. Even though mom doesn't like it, after sticking to her womb for that long, she will definitely love the baby. 

Sometimes, making the baby is also a fight. I'm talking about the pair who had been trying every fertility programme and came out with nothing. It's physically and psychologically exhausting. People's gossiping also add to the torture (and if you're having external motivation, living with those people is a nightmare.

Storks reminds us to treasure the child we have. Modern parents are so busy they lost track of their baby's growth. They're so eager of making money in hoping to give better life for the kid, but they forget time waits for none. Money can't replace the moment spent together. It seems to me, parents give birth to baby in order to fulfil the development task. in order to shut the mouth of their parents and neighbour who keeps asking "when are you going to have baby?". They forget it's a lifetime mission. It doesn't stop when the baby born, it's just a terminal to longer and greater goal: raising an adaptable kid.
