There are many clues at the beginning of the film, such as the "missing" father, the little boy's fear of water, and the nervousness of his mother. When the mysterious servant appears, there are even more doubts. But these little suspense all ended with the hatching of "water horse eggs", and the story began to become funny and warm. At this time, the evil dog "Churchill" was a big joke. As the plot progresses, the audience discovers that the mysterious servant is actually just a wanderer who can understand the little boy's mind, and the nervous mother seems to be caught in a seemingly non-existent love triangle. The plot of the film is very simple, without bothering your brain. The biggest attraction of this film is the realistic special effects. The most exciting part of the whole film is that the little boy rides a water monster and swims in the seabed, but there is an unexplainable problem here, and it has been emphasized that this can't swim. The little boy who was afraid of water suddenly became a master diver. The strongest is that he accidentally jumped into the sea a few minutes ago and almost drowned. A few minutes later, he got off the water monster and swam in the water, and told it to leave quickly. It was quite a good swim. After a few comfortable rides on the water monster, he changed from a landlubber to an excellent swimmer, and the people on the boat shouted desperately: "Swim here, swim here." Everyone seemed to have forgotten that he could not swim. The character setting of the old man who plays the role of "storyteller" in the film is quite nonsensical. After telling the story for a short time, everyone basically guessed that he was the child. In the end, it seemed superfluous for him to report his name.
The background of the story is set in the war years. To be honest, I thought this film would have a dark ending at first, but fortunately, the director gave a cliché ending similar to "Jumanji" - in fact, children like this ending , they will let themselves have a dream of picking up "water horse eggs". Telling a friendship story between a child and a water monster at any time and anywhere will make people feel warm and sad, not to mention the deep family affection - when the little boy watched the water monster leave, he quietly told his mother that he already knew The favorite father has died in battle, and the whole world of the audience has collapsed.
