Gloomy, desolate, and warm, this is the tone of "Legend of the Earth and Sea". It is a bit like the feeling of being exhausted after get off work and going to an izakaya for a few drinks. Without such a lonely state of mind, it would be difficult to integrate into the work.

There are a lot of sunset street scenes in the film, the beauty of the red sky with magnificence and sadness, and the ruins and broken ships that appear again and again, all of the prosperity and desolation, it is a typical view of life from the standpoint of "death" The Japanese romantic complex expresses the protagonist’s desperation for "life" to lose motivation. In fact, the protagonist's stray adventures and adventures are all looking for a reason to "live". The plot arrangement in the story is full of longing for family, friendship, and love for the paradigm of life. It was the warm spiritual power of these human natures that helped the protagonist defeat the spider-an opponent who was terribly afraid of birth, old age, sickness and death. One of them is extremely obsessed with "life", and the other is that they need a reason to live. The confrontation between the two is actually a collision of two outlooks on life. When the dragon appeared at the end, the girl's hair was dyed golden by the rays of the sunrise, and the background color of the whole film was injected with new vitality-the reason for living is "love".

The song in the film is as lonely and lonely as rain hits the window lattice. People who have been desperate for their lives can easily enter the country!

Tales from Earthsea quotes

  • Haitaka: Listen to me, Aaren: everything you see under the sun and stars owes its very existence to the balance: the wind and seas, the powers of earth and light, all these do is well and rightly done within the equilibrium. But now, men hold the power to control the world. Men must learn to do what leaf and whale and wind do naturally. It is for us to keep the balance. Everything that exists has its true name. The power of magic is nothing more than the power to command based on the knowledge of a thing's true name. But use that power irresponsibly, and the balance of the world is easily damaged. Spells should be made only when absolutely needed.

  • Tenar: Leave her alone! She's done nothing to you!
