This is a diary from a long time ago

Song of the Sea premieres Friday, August 12

Because the weather was too hot, I didn't plan to watch a movie, so I opened Tao Piao Tickets at noon to buy tickets for the next day, but found that No. 1 in the 5th row had been bought alone, and my curiosity exploded instantly.

I was curious about what it would be like for someone who likes to go to the movies alone like me, so I bought No. 5 row 2 without any hesitation.

Set off with all the anticipation and excitement, like going to a date of your own.

Arrive at Oscar in advance, glance around, imagining who is the No. 1 in the 5th row, and enter the arena. What makes me laugh or cry is that the 1st row in row 5 is a young mother with her little daughter. I gave up No. 2 in row 5 to this little loli and sat on her right with a little regret. feel stupid.

Think about it too, in summer vacation, it's after three o'clock in the afternoon on Friday, where will there be so many idle people, who don't need to study, work and date, and go to the movies alone?

A little disappointed because no one likes going to the movies by myself as much as I do, because I didn't think about the fact that children don't have to buy movie tickets.

During the process, seeing the wonderful places, many times the little loli wanted to share with her mother, but turned to the right and started talking to me.

This movie is beautiful, the kind of beauty that every frame can be used as a wallpaper, and it meets all my expectations for a fairy tale. But it is not suitable for children to watch. When the mother who was a seal elf left her child and walked into the sea, the little loli next to her burst into tears and cried hysterically.

The elves who store memories say that every hair is a story, and when the hair breaks, the story disappears.

Come away, O human child! To the waters and wild. With a fairy, hand in hand. For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

In Irish legend, seals are the souls of the dead. In order to protect her son, Macha put all the emotions of the elf in a jar, she took away the pain and all the joy, so the elf turned into stone, became calm, and lost her soul. When the seal elf sang, the jar was broken. When the brother who is afraid of the sea becomes brave and strong because of his sister. When my sister finally spoke. When the stalwart father finally chose to face the pain.

I hummed that Irish ballad too.
