fairy tale in the deep sea

The ponyo rocking the red skirt took us to the cool and quiet deep sea, and let us and this cute little girl with a chubby face begin to experience a fairy tale together. The nearly 70-year-old old man Miyazaki returns to his innocence. The protagonists are all 5-year-old children. They interpret the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature from the perspective of children. The beauty in the sea makes our eyes eat ice cream. to carry out the theme of environmental protection to the end. The weird red-haired uncle at the beginning of the film is ponyo's dad (I thought he was the bad guy when I saw him sending blue surf fish to go after ponyo), he protects his kids because he thinks Selfish and proud human beings pollute the living environment of living things, and the environment they live in is dirty. Is it really an extravagant hope that nature and people can coexist in harmony?
Ponyo turned into a mermaid because she drank Sousuke's blood. She came to land and fell in love with this place. She wanted to eat ham and be with Sosuke, so she said: I want to be like Sosuke, I want to become a human! But her father was worried that she would become a bubble because she couldn't get her heart, but Ponyo and Sousuke's persistence achieved a happy ending. Children are always simple and happy. The older they grow up, the lonelier they become, and the more complicated they grow up, aren't we all? It's just that we can extract some simple and beautiful things from such beautiful and simple animation works. This is the reason why Miyazaki's animation attracts many adults!
From Laputa back to land and then to the sea, Miyazaki's painting style seems to have changed a bit this time, but the story is still very sincere and moving. The image of Lisa, the mother, I like the shape of that strange uncle reminds me of Edward Scissorhands, hehe
