In my opinion, the belly of a whale is a prison of the soul, an imaginary daydream of escapism: in this dream, Mi can swim to the fullest with the dream of an athlete in mind, without thinking about being eliminated by too large breasts The reality; my sister can dance to her heart's content without being forced to give up by the pressure of life... The belly of a whale is a desperate situation. People always want to do what they really want to do when they are in a desperate situation. This is the greatest tragedy of human beings.
I just want to talk about the idea of making a movie that is astonishing - Xixiang said to the other three the reason why they have to escape from the belly of a whale even though there are many kinds of things in the outside world: "There are thousands of worlds outside, and there are many people living different lives. Life. There are unbelievably good and bad people, a world created by people who are completely different from each other! Success or failure, good or bad, it doesn't matter! I want to go back to that world! Because I know that even if I don't have talent, even if I'm very poor and miserable, but I want to create my own life with my own hands! Do I die here, or take a chance? Use our strength to try to surpass?!"
At the end of the film, it takes 5 minutes to draw a dazzling world of flowers, looking at this complex and beautiful world from the perspective of God. There are infinite possibilities in life, and there are infinite choices in life, regardless of whether it is good or bad, just based on preferences! At the end, "this story has never ended" director Yuasa Masaki's subtext is: Okay! I made my point! Next, go and live your life hard!
Thank you for this movie! Thank you, Masaaki Yuasa!
Live hard! asshole!
