Know "Begonia" this film for a long time, just started watching the trailer when the only idea is that this style seems to be master Hayao Miyazaki, in addition to the scene and the characters dressed full of Chinese style, the image of the characters is completely the style of the Palace Masters, and even the content of the story is very much the same, as is known to all, the Palace Masters of the animation is often a beautiful story between humans and the alien, the Totoro in the small moon Totoro" and Mei sisters and the story of Totoro, "Chihiro" in the Chihiro in the gods and spirits of the otherworld occurs in the story, the two have a similarity between the two.
Although the film has been looking forward to, but after watching the trailer, there is no particularly stunning place, just that China can make such an anime has been very difficult, plus, the anime publicity is really well done.
1, simple and crude name
Big Fish is the absolute protagonist, first of all, living in the God's enclosure building residents in the age of 16 years old are to big fish (dolphin) look like to go to the earth experience. The other protagonist of the story, the human kun, who sacrificed himself to save Tsubaki, who had taken the form of a dolphin, ended up becoming a soul body (a small fish), and only when a small fish becomes a big fish can it return to the earth, and that is why the name Oyashio comes from this. And the word Kaito means Tsubaki, who is in charge of the growth of begonias.
If you haven't seen the movie, you may not know the meaning of the name, but if you have seen it, it's easy to understand, and the name of the movie is simple and memorable.
2, the original human soul is a fish
Although we all know that people have a soul, but the soul is what shape is not conclusive, there are also many different opinions, and the "Great Fishing Begonia" gave an answer, said that the soul of mankind are a fish, and even the spirit of the woman in charge of the soul of mankind is also a fish head and body shape. I don't know where the scriptwriters came to this conclusion that all human beings are a fish, and that a person's life is a journey from one end of the sea to the other, although the vastness of the sea is as full of infinite unknowns as life. But the body and soul are divisible, why when Tsubaki is searching for the kun's soul, the little fish, the wound on the humanoid kun's forehead carries over to the soul body, this point is something I've never been able to understand. But sometimes just watch a movie as enjoyment, there is no need to care too much about these details and logic, just like the human soul for one, who can say.
While the storyline of the movie is rather simple, that is, a young girl is willing to sacrifice everything, her own life, family, friends and even go against the laws of the world, in order to repay the favor of saving her life. But I have to say, there are still a lot of redeeming qualities, at least the picture is beautiful, and the Chinese style everywhere, it's still worth watching sometime, at least the national comics are already improving, I believe there will be more good national comics after that.
