The story setting of the film is very attractive, with a strong Italian style: ice cream, pasta, motorcycle riding, espresso... These configurations can not help but remind people of all kinds of romances that happened in Italy. People's deep stories. Like the Italian films "Call Me By Your Name", "Roman Holiday" and "Life is Beautiful", "Luca" also has such a unique romantic. Although the deep meaning of the film is not as thought-provoking as Pixar's "Coco" and "Spiritual Journey", I think it is no less than the first two in terms of plot. The story is very simple, the sea monster Luca, Abeto and the human Julia met in a small town in Italy, and together they completed the "triathlon competition" in the summer town. This is a growth experience full of courage, friendship, understanding, and pursuit. The movie uses a linear narrative to connect the sea monsters with humans, and depicts Luca's courage and dedication to his own people step by step. After the adventure of Luca and Abeto, people began to accept and identify with sea monsters. The mainstream group Start accepting marginalized groups. Movies are all about growing up. Gradually harvesting and comprehending while growing up, and I think the most important thing is perhaps change. Luca from cowardice to bravery; from imprisonment to freedom; Abetto from loneliness to giving for friends; and Julia's attitude of not caring about winning or losing for friendship, everyone is making changes, even human beings to sea monsters Recognition, and parental change in educational philosophy. The two well-meaning parents also contributed a lot to the development of the plot in the film. From the beginning of strict parents, never let Luca set foot on land, constantly oppressing Luca's desire for land, and then happily sending him to the train to the human school. As they grew up with Luca, they gradually recognized and gradually understood what their children really needed. Schopenhauer once defined that "happiness comes from oneself rather than the environment", from recognizing oneself and gradually making changes in one's own growth. All in all, this is a movie worth watching before school starts. ?
