better go home

An animation as quiet and beautiful as the moonlight in the dark night. At the end, the scene of the elves returning is reminiscent of the three kings of elves in The Lord of the Rings standing by the boat waiting for Gandalf and Frodo. Even if it is a happy ending, it is still disappointing: elves His return symbolizes the final end of the idyllic era full of fantasy and childlike innocence of mankind. Even if the rivers and rivers are not abandoned, mankind will never be able to return to Peter Pan's Never Island.

I really like the double metaphors in the film:

grandma corresponds to Macha
's father, the giant
passers-by crew corresponds to the hair fairy

, and in the end, just like the elves who follow the golden melody and get free to go to the other side, they all gain understanding for themselves and their relatives, and get Peace of mind.

The film is really beautiful. Just writing a piece of the plot inside is not enough to describe the beauty of animation.

The girl who blew the conch shell in the middle of the night was surrounded by pure white light floating in from the window, like snowflakes, like white feathers, as if the gentle starlight traveled through the distant time and space. The girl followed the scattered light, but her small body on the stairs cast a huge shadow, like an upright seal walking staggeringly. That light was like a mother's hand, leading her to find the white cloak that could turn her into a seal.

The huge beam of light from the lighthouse swept across the sea, unable to illuminate the dark night and awaken the eternal loneliness of the ocean. The girl was dressed in white, and the pure white light from the soul was so warm in the silent night. She followed the cheerful chirping of the group of seals and turned into a small white seal, like water droplets, returning to the embrace of the ocean. At that moment, I didn't feel that the ocean was deep and cold, but felt that the darkness was safe and warm like a mother's womb.

In a fantasy-like ocean, hundreds of seals followed her, the graceful tentacles of jellyfish swayed softly in the sea water, and swimming fish leisurely shuttled among the floating seaweeds and corals. They swam under the huge sperm whale. The girl was the only light on the deep sea floor. She lingered in front of the wonders for a while, then turned her tail and turned away. There was a wonderful sense of rhythm in her movements, just like the singing of the ancient murlocs. Under a bright moon, she jumped out of the water and returned to the ocean.
