It is said that Hayao Miyazaki went to Copenhagen and created this story after returning.
Indeed, in this story, you can see a little bit of the shadow of "The Daughter of the Sea". The beautiful underwater princess fell in love with human beings, so she changed into a human and came to the human world to find her own love.
But Hayao Miyazaki is always childlike, and the characters in his stories are always dominated by children.
The honest and brave Sousuke, the lovely Ponyo who wants to live with Sousuke.
And Lisa, Koichi, and those lovely old ladies.
But Miyazaki-sama wants to express more than just cuteness or innocence. Human destruction of the environment, pollution of the oceans and constant demands. Finally, it bears its own fruit, attracting the revenge of the ocean.
Marine creatures strive to maintain their own living environment, and even strive to maintain the ecological balance of the entire earth.
Little Ponyo is probably the cutest mermaid in history. She is washed ashore in the form of a human-faced goldfish and is rescued by Sosuke, a five-year-old human boy. She licked Sousuke's blood and ate human ham. So she fell in love with Sousuke, who must protect her, and fell in love with human life.
Even if she was brought back to the ocean by her father, she was still desperate to become a human, desperate to return to the human world, to Sousuke's side, and back to the home of the green keg in her mind.
She didn't know what the consequences of her persistence would bring, she didn't know that she might destroy the human world she yearned for, and she didn't know that she might hurt Sousuke's family. She just took the persistent longing in her heart, transformed into a human, ran in the ocean, and came to Sousuke's side.
Maybe she doesn't know what love is at all, she just yearns, misses, and looks forward to it wholeheartedly. Maybe it's for the warmth of that family, maybe it's for Sousuke who promises to protect her, or maybe it's just for that kind of human life, a life with ham.
And Sousuke rescued this little goldfish in a red dress on the shore. He called her Ponyo, and a sense of responsibility rose in his heart. She wanted to protect this little life, just like a part of herself, to be with her She lives together.
But Ponyo's persistence and persistence have brought a lot of trouble to mankind. She has opened a hole in the world, which is a devastating act.
But fairy tales are fairy tales after all. In the end, Ponyo's mother appeared in the image of the sea god, giving us a happy ending.
But this is a fairy tale after all, Sousuke and Ponyo, who are only five years old, still have a long way to go.
I don't know if there will be a day when Ponyo will eventually become a bubble. . .
But fortunately, such an ending will not appear in Mr. Gong's movies.
In addition, another reason to look forward to Jinyuji is that my dear Tianhai Yuki is a seiyuu~ Please allow me to HC. . .
