The name of the movie is "Red Sea Turtle", but the real protagonist is the man who spent most of his life on a desert island.
There is not a single line of dialogue in the whole article, and there is no specific country or cultural background. A minimalist picture, but with great attention to detail.
At first, when a man went to that desert island, I thought it was a movie about a man spending the rest of his life on a desert island. Sure enough, yes.
The man made a raft to escape from the deserted island, but was attacked by unknown attackers again and again, resulting in unsuccessful returns again and again. However, the loggerhead turtle in the title of the movie has not appeared for a long time. On the last raft out to sea, I finally saw red turtles. Red turtles are very rare. That scene is almost the most vivid color in the movie. The man seemed to be sluggish for a few seconds, and then he realized that it was this loggerhead turtle who prevented him from going out to sea again and again, and turned to anger. When the loggerhead turtle came ashore, revenge came, slammed it in the head, and turned it over again. The next day, the man took good care of the loggerhead turtle because he was afraid of killing it because of his reverence for life. The shell cracked and the loggerhead turtle became a woman. Seeing this, I think this film should tell a fairy tale. The man regrets hitting the loggerhead turtle. In the mutual probing between man and woman, she pushes the turtle shell into the sea, and he pushes the raft into the sea. Since then, the two have been immersed in each other on a deserted island. Children, bring activity and joy. The son saved his parents from that disaster. Young people's eyes are always in the distance. parting. The remaining two accompany them to old age. Looking at the sunset for the last time, and looking at the sweetly sleeping wife with white hair next to him, the man slowly closed his eyes and rested in peace. There seems to be movement even when life is gone. The woman wakes up and looks at her husband who can no longer move. The woman is sad but helpless. Without someone to accompany, it would be meaningless to stay on a deserted island, so he turned back into a loggerhead turtle, rubbed her husband's hand with nostalgia, and returned to the sea.
Men can survive on a desert island because there are edible fruits, fresh water, and no life-threatening beasts on the island.
The loggerhead turtle must have liked this man who suddenly broke into the desert island, and only prevented him from leaving again and again, and then turned into a woman to accompany him for the rest of his life.
It can be said that it has a meaning in the real world, or that it simply represents the ordinary and fantastic life of this man for most of his life.
What the movie tries to suppress is impetuousness, expectation and fantasy. It is just fantastic, yet it tries to be ordinary. The color tone doesn't change much in the whole movie, it's basically a little dull, and the sea is a little brighter, and the soundtrack is very soothing and seamless.
It can be said that the film is a poem, but in the form of an animated film.
