"Song of the Sea" may be a story of search and return, and I think it is also a fable of escape and confrontation.
The father who lost his wife was devastated, ignored his children, and concealed his emotions.
The son who lost his mother vented his resentment on his innocent sister, even though he had promised to be the best brother.
The daughter who has left her mother since birth cannot make a sound.
The legendary giant cried day after day because of the loss, and the tears gathered into the ocean. In order to relieve the pain of her son, the witch mother put her feelings in a bottle and sealed, and the lost son turned into a rock to obtain eternal peace.
After that, it became the mission of the witch to take away the feelings of others and put them in a bottle.
[I take away the pain,
It doesn't hurt, it will never hurt again. It doesn't hurt, it will never hurt again.]
The emotion sealed in the bottle, there are thunder and lightning, clouds, rain and snow , There is a rainbow, there is a sun. They are the weaknesses that we avoid, the tenderness that weeping. Losing all of this, it became a stone.
The mother who turned her son to stone so that her son would no longer suffer, was also tortured by the unbearable pain of losing her son.
Half of the witch's body has become a stone, because every time she feels the flow of emotion, the witch also needs to use a magic bottle to suck away those painful emotions.
[Now see what I've become of those terrible feelings.
I'm sick of feelings that come bubbling up. I'm sick of feelings that come bubbling up.] It's
like drinking poison to quench thirst.
Every one in the story is a person crushed by pain.
Everyone who has been hit by a weak underbelly is struggling between evasion and confrontation.
Without feelings and numbness, there will be eternal peace.
However, the numbness of losing feelings has only become a stone.
It's like an elf whose emotions were taken away by a witch and turned into stone.
The sound of the little seal girl’s conch shattered the bottle, so every breeze, every white cloud, every rain, snow or thunder and lightning, every sun and rainbow, all merged into the body.
So there is emotion, pain, and the ability to perceive beauty.
Some people say that love suddenly has a weakness and armor at the same time.
So we become complete people.
The return of the elves also means that the mother of two children must also leave.
The little seal girl chooses to stay, and her mother wants to take her coat away, cutting off the connection between the two worlds.
The connection between fairy tales and the real world.
The sad son begged his mother not to leave.
The mother said to him:
【My son,
Remember me, in your stories, and in your songs.
Know that I will always love you. Love you
Always. I will always love you]
Mother left.
The father came out of the shadow of loss, the elder brother was relieved from the loss, and the younger sister was free from the loss.
You have to cross over to continue walking.
If one day, I can remember your death peacefully, not because I no longer love you, but because we have become one, my breath is your breath.
From then on, I will always be with you, no longer separate.
