At the beginning, I was sure I would like this animation. Similar to Gong Lao's realistic painting style, the natural daily dialogue style makes people feel relaxed and comfortable. In short, the animation produced by Ghibli is so delicate that one does not want to miss every frame, and makes people fall into the story deeply~
[About the monsters]
Three monsters fall from the sky in the form of water droplets, always feel like a peach Dad likes the sea and water has a certain connection. Their mission in the world is to report the current situation of Taozi and Taozi’s mother to heaven and protect them. It may be the entrustment of Taozi’s father or simply the incarnation of his father. Of course, it is also possible that the monster itself does not exist, but Taozi misses it too much. Father's heart came to life. The three monsters are not only fulfilling their own mission, but also helping Taozi grow and get out of the pain of losing his father. When she first came to the island, Taozi was still immersed in grief, taciturn and not close to others. Later, with cute monsters and neighbors’ children who love diving, Taozi slowly became cheerful and heard A Chuan say, "I don’t like eating. After "Fish", I tried to find free food for the monsters, and said to my mother: "I don't hate this island so much", but my mother fell asleep and didn't hear it. If I heard it, I would be very pleased. Later, Mom Tao had an asthma attack. The monsters said that they could not interfere with the life and death of people, but they organized a lot of monsters to build a "monster shed", and they broke a lot of precepts for the peach sauce. The three monsters—Ayan, Achuan, and the cutest Adou. Although they don’t have the pleasing appearance and powerful mana like the monsters in other animations, they have simple minds, mischievous words and stand up in times of crisis. It's enough to make people love deeply.
【About parents】
The reason why Taozi couldn't solve the happy knot at first was because he said nasty things to his father before his accident. When I knew the origin of the letter paper with only "ももへ" written in Tao Zi's hand at the beginning of the film, I burst into tears, thinking of yelling at my dad when I called in the afternoon. I knew what to do. I knew everything I was preparing. I will arrange that I don't have to be in charge... My dad smiled bitterly and said that it would really disturb you to rest. As soon as I hung up the phone, I wanted to slap myself to death. Looking at Taozi from the perspective of others, I feel that since Dad has more important things to do, there is no need to be constrained by a certain day when expressing love. I can't help but blame Taozi for his willfulness, but why not in life. Taozi also didn’t know her mother. When she saw her mother and the courier on the island approaching, she blamed her for forgetting her father. In fact, her mother just didn’t want Taozi to see her sadness. She cried secretly when she looked through the photo album and took care of her. Mothers who have to work hard have all taken care of it silently. From the mother said to Tao Zi, "Your dad wrote a paper, I don’t know what to write when I write to my daughter." "I can probably guess what your dad wants to write to you" and received it on the straw boat. When he replied, he choked up and said, "Yes, it's Dad, it's really hard to write." You can see how much mom knows Dad, and their love is so deep! The love of parents is never on the face, so it appears deep and heavy.
[About ももへ] I
have to say that this animation can be called the growth history of peach sauce. One summer, Peaches matured too much. I understood how their parents’ love was, learned how to consider other people’s feelings, bravely protected their mothers when Dad was away, and overcome their inner fears when diving...Looking at Peaches, It's like watching a child of the same age run hard on the road of growth. As I said at the beginning, I was always moved by the meticulousness of the Ghibli animation. After the monsters completed their mission and disappeared, the broken pointer in the room stayed at the clock at 5:59 and moved forward to 6:00, suggesting Taozi Has a new beginning in his life, got rid of the guilt in his heart, and walked forward bravely. At the end of the film, before diving, Taozi said to the sky "Ari Gado", to Ayan who pushed her into the water before, and it was like saying to his father who had been watching her. After jumping into the water bravely, the children said, "This peach is also a child of the island." Then came the laughter from the heart-a new life began.
PS. The ending song pokes the tears again~~ d(T﹏T)b. Before I saw it, there were few heavy tear gas bombs! 55555~~~ But it's really good-looking, I highly recommend it~
