There are very few movies that are watched during the day during the holidays. For example, "Breakfast on Pluto (Ireland, UK)" and "Mermaid (Русалка Russia, also translated: My Mermaid Girlfriend, I really think this translation is very vulgar)". The stories are about Patrick, a boy who thinks he is the charming kitten "Kitten", and Alisa (Алиса), an ordinary girl like a mermaid who can make wishes come true.
At first, what made me associate the two films was the colorful subtitles that kept appearing in the film. In "Breakfast at Pluto", there was a sentence and a lyric; . This makes the film like a biography of the protagonist from nursing to adulthood, with extremely short and trivial chapters in between. And these two biographies are particularly lovely. Children like Patrick and Alisa are rarely encountered in everyday life. He has his own unique way of dealing with everything he encounters. Sometimes they think stupid, behave abnormally, and even live a mess, but there are many positive words to describe them. For example, beauty: whether it's Patrick's reddish-brown bird's nest head or Alisa's greenish tufts of hair. Brave: Leaving a small town in Ireland, he wandered off to London alone, looking for his mother, who was only left with a blurred back at the tram door; she waited, waited, and couldn't wait for the sailor's father she had never met, so she went to the sea to count and count , one to four, one to four, swept up a storm and tsunami, razed the house on the seafront to rubble and moved to a small apartment in Moscow. Dreaming: Patrick's dream was probably to be the most charming woman in the world, and he did it, and the ending gave him a chance to write a sequel, showing the beginning of a new journey; Alisa always wanted to be the white swan lapping on the ballet stage , unfortunately, this is just a sad little mermaid. Life will always stay at eighteen years and a few months. Before she died, she could still see a little image of herself dancing ballet in the middle of the road.
They have also been pursuing pure love without giving up hope. Unfortunately, the end of the biography tells us that life is never perfect, and dreams are often unfinished.
Patrick has met people who love him, a bandleader on the road, a magician in London, but they're not for him because he's been trying to get the answer to the simple question, "Will you send me roses; Will you take me to the hospital when you see me lying on the ground wounded..." They couldn't answer, they couldn't give "Kitty Patty" a safe haven.
Alisa met a lovable new classmate. When she was sad, she ran after her for several streets and came back with the things she had left behind. In the end, she talked eloquently and just wanted to sleep with her; when she was about to jump off the bridge in the middle of the night, a man rushed over Come over, jumped down from her side without hesitation - that is Alexander, who is dressed in bright clothes during the day and alcoholic and decadent at night, a businessman who dares to sell the land on the moon. Alisa fell in love with him when he weakly spat out a mouthful of water from the Moskva River on the bank and introduced himself to Alisa with a smirk, "Sasha (Alexander's nickname)." He took Alisa home to sleep on the couch and woke up to work the next morning, completely forgetting who she was. He pondered Alisa's advice on how to keep his goldfish, but he didn't care whether she was a mermaid, a ballerina, or a cleaner who came on Tuesdays and Fridays. Hearing that she had never eaten pineapple, he was willing to drag her to various convenience stores in the middle of the night, and finally pry open the back of the fruit delivery truck, but lost Alisa's game of "making the dead laugh" - he didn't understand at all Her cold joke. In order to attract Sasha's attention, Alisa dyed seaweed-like green hair and wore a crimson floral dress, but the prince could never fall in love with the little mermaid who rescued him three times. Anyway, he still has the golden color in his life. Short-haired princess (current girlfriend).
Children like Patrick and Alisa are always so out of place, so their pursuit of love and happiness is extraordinarily difficult and tortuous, but because of their uniqueness, you always hope that they will gain one after their misfortune. A happy ending. It's a pity that the director and screenwriter think this is not a fairy tale and should end with "they live happily ever after". Patrick is back on the road with unfinished dreams, golden curly hair, bright red dress, and his heart is strong enough to know that as long as he is happy, he can let his soul run to the super-far Pluto for breakfast, which was a certain time in the past. A group of motorcyclists learned it when they went up a mountain to look at the stars.
And Alisa, like her Danish predecessors, dreams forever in an unfinished state. Andersen at least turned the little mermaid into a million beautiful and colorful bubbles, and was picked up by the benevolent Heavenly Father, but Alisa was hit by a fast car and fell back to the road like a pie, with a smile on his lips before he died, She was happy with a phone call and a lie of "My grandmother died on the floor of your house", and dragged the beloved prince off the plane that was about to explode.
