Brave like Ponyo, strong like Sousuke

I didn't think to write anything because of this, but I thought too much last night, and it was strange that I recalled those moments in the movie that touched and warmed me over and over again.

Perhaps using the word love on two five-year-olds seems too heavy. But it is indeed a love that is too simple and pure.

There are some conversations like that, which warm my heart.
"Ponyo likes Sousuke." "Sousuke also likes Ponyo."
"Sousuke will protect Ponyo well."
"Don't let go no matter what."
"Risa don't cry, Sousuke didn't protect Ponyo. Niu, Sousuke didn't cry." The
most


impressive thing was the green bucket. For Ponyo, it was the testimony of their love. No matter what, Ponyo held the bucket tightly, even if Too tired, he fell asleep on the bow of the boat and clenched tightly, as if holding Sousuke's little hand, life and death were inseparable.

Even if the disaster was as big as the tsunami, it didn't make people feel very sad, or Mr. Gong could play down the disaster. What he could see was the mutual help and friendship of the people in the tsunami and the strength to face the disaster.
When Sosuke saw his mother's car parked on the road, and the person was no longer there, he was so sad that he cried. Ponyo came over and took Sosuke's hand, saying, let's go to Risa (Sosuke's mother).

Well, it is such a kind of mutual dependence and mutual care, which warms people's hearts. When you are sad, the person who is by your side is the one who truly cares and loves you.

Ponyo's mother asked Sousuke, is it okay if Ponyo is a mermaid?
Sousuke nodded and said loudly, "Well, whether it's a fish, a mermaid, or a human, I like Ponyo."

Yes, me too. I will be as brave as Ponyo, and you will be as strong as Sousuke.
Yes, I will hold your hand tightly, as always.

    【B+】Too beautiful, too innocent, and too childish. Therefore, the subtraction in the play has distorted the logical chain of film reviews to a degree that cannot be ignored. But it is a work of positioning itself, and you don't have to care about these. Instead, you should focus on the author's expression under the innocence: the "moving" word of "animation" has been achieved to the extreme. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most terrifying theatrical animation I have ever seen, especially the part of Ponyo running on the sea. The countless details of the painting together constitute a turbulent sensory experience, which almost made me cry. After that, finally came the image Miyazaki was looking for-the moment when human society was buried by the ocean. Houses have been turned into isolated islands, roads have disappeared, all industrial signs have been replaced by ancient marine creatures tens of millions of years ago, people on the sea have no sorrow or joy, and people below the sea accept this miracle. Watching on the big screen is still an indescribable shock, applauding every skill and imagination.

    The black-bellied version of the conjecture, I can't say it: In fact, Ponyo and Sousuke are children who were adopted by the single Risa without parents (so Sousuke called Risa by her name), the so-called mermaid queen is Ponyo's fantasy Life experience (a little girl's princess dream). Risa and her mother-in-law died in the flood when she went to rescue people. Actually...it's a work of realism!
