Philosophy in film

There is only one creature that upsets the balance, and that is... people.
In the film, the bright side of the prince is chasing the dark body. I think that the dark side and the light side can be used to pursue the meaningless body, and the prince finally found not only the meaning of love, but also the pain. That is the joy of life and the experience of the pain of death. This makes people break away from the nihilistic outlook on life.
The words of the archmage are very useful. If you don't understand death, you don't understand life. If you lose death, you lose life. The cycle of life and death is the way to balance the world.
However, when this philosophy is expressed in words, it loses its charm, leaving only a dry voice.
Those who blindly criticize the film and the son of Hayao Miyazaki, I think you are too dark.

Tales from Earthsea quotes

  • Haitaka: Now listen to me, Aaren: No man nor any living thing in this world preserves their life forever. But only to men is it given to know that we must die, and that is a precious gift. This life that is both our torment and our treasure was never meant to endure for eternity. Life is a wave on the sea. Would you force the sea to grow still to save one wave? To save yourself?

  • Therru: You think your life belongs to you? Tenar gave me my life. That's why I have to live, so that I can give life to someone else. Lebannen... that is the only way we can live forever.
