One day, a divorced fisherman who used to be an alcoholic uses a fishing net to salvage a mysterious, beautiful woman who brings him good luck.
A woman's singing can make a rare fish slip into his net. So, this sloppy man saw "lucky" for the first time.
The fisherman's precocious young daughter suffers from kidney disease. She often tells her father with blue eyes that women come from the sea and have magic. But she likes to be friends with women and wants her to stay forever.
The story develops here, using half of the space, like the two sides of the strait and the sea shrouded in blue mist, gentle and romantic.
The fairy began to forget her true identity, and she was reborn in the fairy tale of a fisherman and a little girl, although she was uneasy all the time. The fisherman began to accept the blessing of good fortune, and he talked about "vision" in front of his godfather, although the preceding attributive word was "fear".
At this time, the director began to ambush, slowly dragging the "Naruto" into a well-designed plot, blowing waves in the calm sea of Ireland.
Before reality came, there was such a plot: the fisherman got drunk again and took the opportunity to abandon the woman.
This man was really afraid before the mysterious luck and disaster. The more he is afraid of gaining, the more he will lose; the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Most importantly, he also has a frail little daughter. He is afraid that his daughter will have another "accident", no matter whether the accident is good or bad, his heart is not strong enough to bear it. A woman is a human being or a fairy, and he is unwilling to pay any price to change the answer.
Instead of living in the joy and grief that you can't control, it's better to let go of that part of the illusion and re-enter the reality.
Poverty, indifference, loneliness, but it's true.
This reminds me of the mysterious village in "Big Fish" where even the poets stop moving. People's feet are on the green grass all year round, delicious dinner, unstoppable music and dance. But there everyone hangs their ideals like shoes, and the best poets can no longer write verses.
Everyone yearns for the fairy tale world, but who really dares to immerse themselves in the illusory fairy tales without saving themselves?
At the end of the story, the director used all the foreshadowing to draw a complete circle for the story. Although it's a bit of a bullshit, it's not far-fetched. To everyone's relief, the director gave us a happy ending, albeit sloppy.
Minorities aside, I love this movie.
Six words: complete, clear, beautiful.
