"Big Fish and Begonia" is an excellent film and television work. Its title alludes to the storyline - "Big Fish" alludes to "Kun", "Begonia" alludes to "Chun", and the whole film revolves around "Kun" and "Kun". Tsubaki” unfolds the narrative and tells a beautiful story.
Legend has it that the sea of the human world is connected to the sky of the living world of Tsubaki. When each child is sixteen years old, they will receive the "adult ceremony" and be sent to the world through the Gate of Sea and Sky to observe the changes of all things in the world. On "Chun"'s sixteenth birthday, accompanied by "Qiu", she turned into a dolphin to visit the world, but unfortunately was trapped by a fishing net in the sea. A human boy fell into the deep sea to save her and died. For the sake of the human boy's young sister and to repay her kindness, "Tsubaki" exchanged half of her life for the boy's soul, and began to secretly raise the boy's soul in the world of gods - a thumb-sized fish. Until one day, the little fish grew into a Kun that the river could not hold and returned to the sea, and the boy was finally reborn. However, this process constantly violates the laws of the world of "God", thus causing various disasters in the world where "Tsubaki" lives... But is this really the disaster caused by "Tsubaki"'s persistence? the answer is negative. It is caused by those meaningless and rigid "rules"! Everyone has their own dreams and the right to pursue them. Why should they be controlled by these so-called "rules"? We have to live our true selves!
This beautiful story tells us: there is a sea in everyone's heart, which is the desire for freedom, growth and dreams, everyone is a big fish, their lives are like crossing the sea, sometimes meet and sometimes separate... ...when they died, they came to shore, and went to their own worlds. Taking advantage of the current prosperity, we might as well love someone bravely, climb a mountain, and chase a dream...
