metaphors worth thinking about

A super good-looking movie. It is by no means a movie only suitable for children. The pictures and plots are very attractive.

Regarding the controversy in the film, I personally think that there must be metaphors of LGBT and other minorities in it. The water monsters in the sea represent one type of people, and the people living on land represent another type of people. Although the two are somewhat different, In essence, both sides can accept each other, but because of some stereotypes and fear of public attention, many people only dare to express their disgust and hatred for the other type of people. The disadvantage is that the turning point in the acceptance of sea monsters by humans is too abrupt, but I see a point of view that can also explain this sudden turning point, that is, humans and sea monsters actually have no contradictions, and there is no so-called conflict of interests. Mutual disgust is just because of the custom that has been heard for a long time, and the rabble chooses to silently follow it and dare not make different voices.
