The plot is hard to say and cannot be explained, it can be summed up with "magicism". Once upon a time, there was a red sea turtle with a weird character. For some reason, he refused to let the male protagonist take a raft and return to human society. He climbed ashore and was avenged by the male protagonist. As a result, he turned into a beautiful woman and the male protagonist gave birth to a son on a desert island to enjoy the family happiness. In the end, the son ran away with the turtle companion. The hero died and the beautiful woman became a turtle and crawled away. The story is a bit familiar, a bit like the story of the "Snail Girl" collage "Snow Girl and the Hunter".
After a glance at the short commentary, most of them criticized the film's lack of format and wasted Ghibli's talents. Others read out the "eternal loneliness of mankind" and "return" in the film. Soon after the start of the film, I have been guessing what the theme of the film is. As the story progresses, I envision the theme from "loneliness" to "giving full play to subjective initiative" to" human beings live in harmony with nature "to" where the grievances will be reported. It's time to "man cannot conquer the sky." It may be human nature, always wanting to find a plausible explanation or generalizing a so-called "law" for everything that happens before they will give up. After all, it feels a bit bad to lose control. . It’s a bit difficult to find a theme that runs through in this movie, because he tells a man’s somewhat magical life.
A real life has no theme, just like a real human being will have a hundred faces: he Anger, resentment, revenge, generosity, caring, and courage. The protagonist with a clear theme and only one face will only appear in the composition before college: a mother who is generous and enthusiastic to everyone, and an honest Brave father, a brother and sister who will never leave. Once the theme is set, all the parts that deviate from the theme are the factors of disharmony that need to be revised and explained, which is very troublesome. However, a life is far more than an eight hundred words. His articles are rich, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, sometimes brave and sometimes cowardly, sometimes upright and sometimes discordant, it is fluid, it is changeable, and it is unpredictable to move forward.
I like this movie. I like the ocean wind blowing from the screen. I like the dust and sand that a small crab falls into the water. I like the rising, swaying and fuzzy flames when the bamboo is burning. I like this song of life that has no theme and is hard to explain.
