As a 2D animation, this film is delicate and beautiful. Every frame is carefully crafted. The colors are bright but soft, like a dream. The characters are simple lines, which has a charm of reducing complexity to simplicity. A touching nursery rhyme runs through the whole story, truly achieving the effect of the picture and music complementing each other. From my personal understanding, this is probably a story about relief, the giant Maclear's relief for his wife's departure, Macha's hope that his son will no longer suffer but find his relief after he loses himself, Ben's relief for the loss of his mother Wait, what's interesting is that the mother and son of the mythical mother and son of MacLeer and the father and grandmother of the protagonist's brother and sister are like mirrors, and their experiences and attitudes are quite consistent. These complex, real emotions intertwine to fill the story.
Strictly speaking, this is not a beautiful fairy tale. Mom left her siblings and her father who loved her dearly. All the elves left this world and disappeared. The little seal elf also lost her seal coat and no longer has the magic of singing. became an ordinary person. But as I said before, it's a story about letting go. The persistent thoughts of the past become fragments in the song, and they merge with the light of the east. Even the gloom of the characters is gone with the sea breeze. lingering between the eyebrows. The witch's magic in the film is a very interesting image. Those who have lost their emotions have become stone sculptures. She roars viciously: if the emotions are eliminated, there will be no more pain. However, after she removed her feelings, she became perverted. Human nature is the most unpredictable, fragility and frightening. Many people do everything possible to hide and abandon this powerlessness. In the spiral of silence, people will become more and more Like a stone, the joys, sorrows and sorrows are gone, and the true self has been lost. In the end, everything came back to life with the singing of the seal elf. Maybe we can see him as a return and catharsis of emotions.
In addition, the growth of the protagonist is also a very healing process. Like every ordinary person, he is a little selfish, adventurous, and a little grumpy, but he is kind, hard-mouthed but like a guardian, and the red cloak will be when his sister is cold. Wrapping her, carrying her weak sister on her little back, she crossed the nettle field to find her way home. And another important character in this film, the seal elf Saoirse, is innocent and beautiful like a wave in the sun at birth, more dazzling than diamonds, the ability inherited from her mother saved everything and herself, "Wandering in North and south, wandering between east and west, the song of the ocean is neither silent nor quiet",
the fusion of love and singing, the sound of nature sung is the most beautiful song of the ocean.
