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.

    I don’t know why Pixar gave the green light to this completed script. It looks like a semi-finished product no matter what, probably because of the epidemic.

    I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and the mood is very complicated after watching it... Subjectively, I think it's still very good. It's a Pixar-level film, worthy of expectations. Although the shape of the sea beast is more persuasive, the later plot is too rushed and young, and the biggest conflict is handled very scribbly, but I still see too many shining things, and I feel very emotional... I think Disney should not want to go to such a simple film too much. There are too many scheming and metaphors in the cartoons of youth, but the speaker is not intentional and the listener is intentional, so it is hard not to think about many things... The setting of the sea beast wandering in the human world itself makes me think a lot, and the two The friendship of children makes me think of the pictures of Esteros, maybe it is a kind of detached emotion needed to save each other... The ending sentence maybe some people will never accept it, but there are always some people who will, you need to find them , it hits the hearts of all minorities... Italian summer is really hard not to love, the cute and warm style of painting is also fresh and comfortable, and the illustrations at the end of the film can't help but smile, it's so good... I look forward to a sequel , don't want this story to end...

    Alberto Scorfano: What's, "under the dog's"?

    Giulia: Under-dogs. You know, kids who are different. Dressed weird, or a little sweatier than average.

  • Massimo Marcovaldo: You two are coming with me.

    Alberto Scorfano: Which knife do I get? Huh? Huh?
