No fish is an island

Before I bought the tickets, I thought that "Summer Friends Sunny Day" was a rotten eight o'clock file in the United States of the last century. After all, the translation was too old. Although it covered all themes, I sighed after the movie that it is not as good as a " " Luca " is simple and vivid.

The plot is still the same, and I thought it was the Pixar version of the Little Mermaid at the beginning of the "picking up trash" link. When the two murlocs climbed Abetto's tower after they got to the shore, I thought Rapunzel was on the scene. It wasn't until after they landed that the strong Italian flair made people realize, oh, the background is Italy.

In the early days of the film, I always tacitly assumed that this friendship happened between Luca & Abeto and Julia, a summer friendship between two species. But I didn't expect that there would be a small infighting between sea monsters in the later stage, and suddenly the characters of the two male protagonists in my heart became taller, and the human girl instantly became a supporting role. But I can't see any "foundation" between the two of them at all? It is possible to say that there is a secret relationship between Luca and Julia, and there is no undercurrent between him and Abeto. What I can see is just two little monsters giving each other strength, breaking prejudice with the most precious and sincere friendship, and working hard to live and grow in the most suitable place for them. If only this kind of friendship is understood as gay love, then I can only say that some audiences' understanding of "feelings" is too shallow. It is not only love that can give strength and happiness to life.

The tone of the whole film is easy and easy to accept. It is a family-friendly film and has strong educational significance for children. In the same scene, there was a little boy who watched the movie without making a fuss or making a fuss. He only exclaimed a few times when the dramatic conflict in the plot reached its peak. Of course, his exclamation for the exposure of Abeto’s identity was not lower than his own. where to go. But isn't it the best purpose to bring children to watch movies to express the simple truth in the way of animation? Using other people's stories to tell the story of life directly may be easier to accept than parents' education in black and white.

At the end of the film, the sea monsters bravely revealed their true colors under the heavy rain, which is why they had the courage to accept themselves. And the one-armed fisherman who stands up for the children, his image is very simple: strength, prestige, desire for family. It has to be said that Abetto's arrival was due to fate giving him another child. Julia only returned to the town on vacation. I believe that he still needs the company of a child in his daily life.

At the end of the day, Abeto said goodbye to Luca. It can be said that the two put down their unrealistic ideals and chose a firmer path. Luca reads books, Abeto stays here, and other sea monsters often come ashore to play with people. People and monsters coexist in harmony to create a better new era. Abeto's choice was a thank you to Luca. It was Luca's whimsy that took him away from the isolated island. It was Luca who made him realize that the sea monster was not a monster, but another identity. "No man is an island" and no fish is. Friendship between groups creates beautiful bonds.

I remembered the famous saying in Naruto again, "Where those who miss you are, is where you go."

And the little sea monster, Luca, left the deep sea and walked into a more inclusive city to learn knowledge. He has his own place of return, it is a beautiful town by the sea, it is a shining island in the sea, and it is a home at the bottom of the sea.

I hope everyone can escape from their isolated island and touch the light of the big yellow fish in the company of the school of anchovies. Of course, fly with the person who loves you the most.

    It is best to watch during the summer vacation. Many people say that this movie is a metaphor for homosexuality, but what I saw is a pure friendship between the three little friends in the summer. It is very much like when I was a child on summer vacation, I went back to the village with my little friends. Time to play. (If you have to bring the friendship between the same sex to homosexuality, I think this may not be appropriate)

    So cute and cool, I want to go to Italy! The turning point and solution in the second half are actually quite blunt, but how can I say that this film can't help people not to think in the direction of comrades. If this story is interpreted as the story of two little boyfriends coming out of the closet, it is actually very difficult. It's easy to stretch it out, hahaha.
