It should be my first time watching an Irish movie, so before I watched this movie, what I was looking forward to was the feeling of Ireland, those leisurely pictures - the sound of waves lapping on the cliffs of Ireland, sea birds Singing while hovering in the sky, my feet were deeply submerged by the grass, I opened my hands to feel the nature, my ears were the sounds of various Irish national musical instruments, and those ethereal sounds of freedom came into my ears...
I remember that I was always confused about the Nordic music for a while. The specific expression was that Iceland and Ireland were a little confused, and Ireland was regarded as similar to Iceland's music, that kind of natural melancholy and profound Iceland, but In fact, most of Ireland is nature, bagpipes, harps, whistle... Many places have a sense of nationality, fresh and natural. But there is a sense of unease in a dark fairy tale in some places. In short, everything serves the whole story, that kind of warmth with a little sadness.
Closer to home, when I wrote the afterthought, I didn't remember many subtle plots, so I could only talk about the places that impressed me the most.
One is the style of painting - the director introduced it from a folklore myth. Sister Saoirse and her mother are mysterious seal spirits. After checking some information, director Moore felt that these stories of seal spirits are in a sense a metaphor for death, which can help families who often go to sea bravely face the unfortunate experience of their families dying in the sea. The scene where the seals are holding the little seals one by one and a big dog hook is so cute and healing. Continuing the hand-painted style of "The Book of Kells", the shaping of the picture will definitely make people's eyes shine. The large tracts of ocean and forest, plain and restrained, can probably awaken people's sensibility to the natural environment.
Second, many of the settings in the story are very clever. For example, a small jar with various emotions - the owl witch Macha is not so sad for her child giant Mike Lear, let the owl absorb all his sadness, and Mike has become a stone since then. The witch Macha thinks emotions are a bad thing, and she hates the feelings that come to her, so she thinks that if she absorbed all the emotions in the world, there would be no sadness. Another example - let every strand of hair of an old elf store a person's past and future, and guide brother Ben to find his sister and get out of his heart. In the end, the brother and sister broke through the obstacles in the ensemble of singing and conch sounds and saved the sister.
My mother finally told my brother, "My child, I will live in your stories and songs, remember that I have always loved you", the story of this family is still the same, there are regrets and make up, and happiness That tinge of bitterness is justified.
