There is a monster in everyone

Looking at it online, it seems that there are many people who criticize this film and few people who like it. Have we all lost the ability to fantasize? Is it only the bloody violence, the excitement, or the lone hero that can grab our attention? We are just like the two young people who listened to the story, no matter how touching the film is, we just rationally analyze the authenticity of the story, and then criticize the film for its faults. When watching movies, it is better to be more emotional and less rational.
This is an "ET" plus "Pan's Labyrinth" type of film. The relationship between Angus and Robinson is from beginning to end, and the so-called anti-war is a dark line. Looking at the world of adults through the eyes of children and water monsters is a utilitarian, realistic, and even cruel world. Of course, as a comedy-style film, the dark lines are not very obvious, so this film should be said to be more suitable for children to watch.
Excellent soundtrack, with two impressive passages, Angus and Robinson frolicking through the lake and finally running away under fire. In addition, the beauty of Loch Ness is breathtaking, and such a place really does not need to be famous by monsters.
