Luca had everything in the beginning, family, parental love, and friendship that appeared later, the future that suddenly appeared, and in the end, whether he stayed or not, he was a winner in life: going to school, chasing dreams; staying, friendship and human family .

After Abeto fished Luca out of the water, the world was all about Luca. Unfortunately, Luca's world was not like that. Abeto longed for the family and the sense of belonging he longed for, so he didn't have it either. Treasure, so when Abeto turns into a swimsuit, immediately draw a clear line - I think the screenwriter's intentions on this point are very bad: trying to explain this kind of backstabbing and ungrateful behavior with pure ignorance, but what Abeto was too pitiful, not only did he not hold a grudge against Luca, but he immediately changed his mind (he also licked too much) under Luca's seemingly non-existent plea for peace. Even when the last bicycle race was in chaos, he still put Luka's safety before himself. Of course, in order not to make the fairy tale too dark, the screenwriter handled the final ending beautifully, but we all know that this situation is placed in human society. , the ending will only be:

In a thousandth of a second after turning into a sea monster, the ignorant crowd chasing fame and fortune swarmed (maybe even Julia's father personally mourned Abeto). A few years after Aberto's sacrifice in vain, Luca, who no longer cared about the battery car at the time, continued to wear human skin in faraway places, went to school, settled down, married a wife, and lived a double-sided life on the seabed and land. Burn a handful of cheap paper money in memory of Abetto's stepping stone.

Of course, we know that the core of this film is to persuade children to study hard and make progress every day. (But the sinister human heart at the so-called "urgency to generate wisdom" moment really made me feel cold.)
