What I like is the silent touch; what I like is holding hands and dreaming together; what I like is losing you, and I still have the tenderness to comfort the time.
Today I recommend an animation with such a mood: "Red Turtle"
Some comments say: Ghibli of European origin, realistic painting style, minimalism of Takada Xun as the art director. Reverence for nature, thinking about life, fortunately to have each other's company, she gave up the sea for him, he was willing to live on a desert island for her...
I think it is full of minimalist beauty! It is suitable for watching leisure time in the afternoon.
The film tells the story of a man who was reduced to an island to spend a somewhat magical life.
In an accident, the man was taken to an unknown island by the sea. By coincidence, he helped a small turtle into the sea.
He made a bamboo raft to try to get out, but every time someone broke it.
It turned out that it was a beautiful loggerhead turtle doing a good job. (She also wanted to prevent him from dying in the sea, and he didn't know)
He was angry, frustrated, and beat the loggerhead turtle. After venting, he looked at her dying, feeling uneasy and regretful, he had to save her.
After a heavy rain, the loggerhead turtle disappeared and a red-haired girl appeared.
He fell in love with her, pushed away the bamboo raft, and pushed away the freedom he longed for. He was willing to plunge into the bondage of love.
They form a family, and they communicate with each other without language, and they are so happy that they do not need language.
Soon, they had a small life. The child was happy and active, and seemed to have a special connection with the sea. He liked to swim in the sea since he was a child.
The three lives are accompanied by each other, peaceful and happy, the children grow up, and they grow old.
But life will always have unforeseen changes, and the child still chooses to swim to the distance after all.
She also put back the tortoise shell and returned to the deep sea, leaving him alone on the island.
It seems that the whole story has returned to its original point, like the man's alone fantasy, and like a dream...
But what does it matter? Those once throbbing and tranquil, those days of dancing together, those sun, moon, stars and ebb and flow with each other, I have really felt it.
It seemed like an accident that he fell in love with her, but it was actually her intention.
A love between turtles and people, in fact, may not be a hurt.
In order to repay him for guarding her whole life, she also full of love. He also felt the happiness and separation that people should have in this life.
Is the life of each of us, the people we meet, and everything we have, is it an accident of fate or imagination, or is it real and reliable, and what we strive to pursue?
What is true and what is false? It doesn't depend on the form and the ending, the key is how you feel when you are trapped in it.
Perhaps, there are helpless things in life, but it is precisely because of regret and powerlessness that those happy moments of loving, knowing and staying with each other are even more precious.
