      Mermaid Control's Film Review - Sincere Mermaid Love

      I am a Shanghai native born in the 1985s. When I was a child, I was looking forward to the Zhengda Theater. I believe that if many people are of the same age, they should be impressed. There were three love movies that impressed me: "Angel in the World", "Modern Mermaid" and "Past Life Love (Wooden Beauty)", all of which are fantasy movies.
         Because of my longing and love for fairy tales, I have always kept these three movies in the D drive of my computer. Among them, my favorite is...

      When you bow your head, you discover the sea beneath your feet...

      Since ancient times, mermaid stories are all bubbles, and most people go ashore to cook for their husbands. Glad to see this ending, hand in hand to see the underwater world.
      Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. You are electric, you are light, and you are the only myth. The love of a mermaid is very pure. They kiss
      when they meet, and tell you straight to the point.
      But what if I'm an outlier? Honey, what if I were a fish?

      Still like Hanks in his forties

      When we met Hanks, he was already a middle-aged fat man with a high hairline and full of masculine charm, so when we saw a group of romantic comedies in the 1980s, we would be shocked. : "Nima, is this Hanks!!" Everyone is too used to looking at Tom who looks like a kind uncle... During the filming of this movie, it is probably the peak period of Hanks' face, but I still like it. The way he looks after getting fat, he looks at his unique love. In "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump", the fat and...

      I love you

      Was it love at first sight? Perhaps this is the only reason why the mermaid has been obsessed with Alan since the day he met Alan in the sea at the age of 8.
           Is it really because of the loss of the ability to love? Why can't he give a clear answer when his girlfriend in reality asks him "Do you love me"? In fact, Alan has been waiting for the unknown her, even though she doesn't know who her name is, where she lives, whether it is possible to meet her in this life...until he thinks...

      This is my favorite mermaid movie

      Every girl has had a dream of a mermaid... A

      long, long time ago, I saw half of it in the late-night theater on TV, and I was shocked and could not forget it for a long time. Later, when I was traveling, I happened to see a VCD in a genuine video store, and I bit my teeth and spent 2 months of pocket money to buy it.

      This is what my ideal mermaid looks like.
      Beautiful, innocent, kind, indescribable flower.
      Even if he was betrayed, caught, and saw the distant and...

      Although the ending with the mermaid is a bit rushed, but love just starts. The voice of Forrest Gump's familiar face on the screen is also unique. What is amazing is the mermaid, with long blond legs, plump breasts and buttocks, soulful eyes, and petal-shaped lips. Which man can resist a beautiful woman taking the initiative to give her a hug and a kiss without saying a...

      It's a farce. When the mermaid appeared, it scared me to death. Or it's more beautiful in the water. I'm really sorry for Andersen. . . Is there really a generation...

    Movie plot

    Twenty years ago, the young Allen was traveling in Cape Deco and accidentally fell into the sea. He met the beautiful little Splash. They looked at each other curiously. Although there was no language, at that moment, they both deepened each other. Deeply remembered in my heart.
    Twenty years later, they both grew up. In an accident, Allen fell into the sea again. Splash rescued him and met him on the beach. Later, I took Alan's lost...

    Evaluation action

    The director is a person who truly understands mermaid, and also a person who truly understands the Creator's will. Created the most real mermaid princess. She grew up in a place where she had never experienced bad words, but she could only escape when she encountered injuries. And her most heartbreaking beauty is that she said: "Ellen, don't feel guilty because you don't love me anymore...".
    The director was very clever to let her...

      Allen: How?

      Madison: Remember when you were eight years old and you fell off the ship, you were safe under the water, weren't you?

      Allen: [a little surprised] Yeah.

      Madison: You were with me.

      Allen: You mean, that-that was real? You mean that was you?

      [Madison nods]

      Allen: That was you!

      [laughs and hugs Madison]

      Allen: This is great. This is great! I can go with you and still come back, and-and see Freddie at Christmas.

      Madison: [after shaking her head 'no'] You can't ever come back.

      Allen: [turns his head, hears the sirens coming closer, then turns back to Madison, looking a bit sad] Madison...

      Madison: I understand.

      [she and Allen kiss just as a helicopter is heard flying towards them]
