    【B+】Too beautiful, too innocent, and too childish. Therefore, the subtraction in the play has distorted the logical chain of film reviews to a degree that cannot be ignored. But it is a work of positioning itself, and you don't have to care about these. Instead, you should focus on the author's expression under the innocence: the "moving" word of "animation" has been achieved to the extreme. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most terrifying theatrical animation I have ever seen, especially the part of Ponyo running on the sea. The countless details of the painting together constitute a turbulent sensory experience, which almost made me cry. After that, finally came the image Miyazaki was looking for-the moment when human society was buried by the ocean. Houses have been turned into isolated islands, roads have disappeared, all industrial signs have been replaced by ancient marine creatures tens of millions of years ago, people on the sea have no sorrow or joy, and people below the sea accept this miracle. Watching on the big screen is still an indescribable shock, applauding every skill and imagination.

    The black-bellied version of the conjecture, I can't say it: In fact, Ponyo and Sousuke are children who were adopted by the single Risa without parents (so Sousuke called Risa by her name), the so-called mermaid queen is Ponyo's fantasy Life experience (a little girl's princess dream). Risa and her mother-in-law died in the flood when she went to rescue people. Actually...it's a work of realism!
