The most beautiful parable of love and separation

It was known early on that Song of the Sea was one of the Oscars for Best Animated Feature Film Finalists, but there was not much information about it.
Unexpectedly, after reading it today, I found that I was too loving, and I liked it too much.

First of all, it is an allegory about "love, growth, separation", rich in fantasy, but in essence it is a very healing story.
At the end, I suddenly discovered that the roles of father and grandma corresponded to the owl and her son. The sons were heartbroken. One could only use drinking to heal his wounds, and one tear turned into a vast ocean. Mothers are all super-rational, burying their sensibility deeply, and their expressions are stiff.

Secondly, the symbol of stone is very meaningful.
All active and passive suppressed emotions eventually become silent stones, hard and stubborn, seemingly able to cope with all the sorrows and pains in the world, but they are often exhausted and victims themselves.
What the stone needs to be resurrected is to hear the singing of the seal girl, because there are emotions in the singing, which can smooth the emotions and emotions that have been suppressed.
In the movie, my mother teaches her son to sing, a few elves express their hearts with singing, and the brother teaches her sister to sing. There are emotional expressions and transmissions in it.

Again, this is still a movie about family, brother-sister relationship is the most important thing.
The adventure and growth of the elder brother healed the pain of his mother's sudden absence when he was a child, and the emotional change to the younger sister was the key factor for healing. This also reflects the complex feelings between members of a multi-child family that cannot be obtained in the growth of an only child.

Finally, my sister is 6 years old and can’t speak. It seems to be an external manifestation of family problems: the sudden departure of my mother, the brother who is very jealous, the father who is indulging in the pain of losing his wife, all these are finally saved by saving the sister. Everyone's life has been redeemed for themselves.

Stories, paintings, music, these seemingly ordinary things, all imply healing factors.

After so much ignorance, what I want to say is that the style is beautiful, the color is blue to the bottom of my heart, the singing is ethereal and ethereal, the story is short and sharp, and it is too beautiful.
Therefore, it must be a five-star recommendation.
