The entire film is basically watched in fast-forward, so thank you. (Partial spoiler) The
protagonist is a young girl who insists on the existence of giants in the face of family changes and school bullying. She insists on her own designs and fights giants. , to protect the people of the bay.
In fact, when many children face the unknown, difficult, and unanswerable things, they show the same external performance, which magnifies these difficulties and unknowns. , When I couldn't defeat it, I also felt that it was a huge bad guy, similar to a bad giant, and I felt the same way. In this regard, the story is very similar to "When the Monster Knocks on the Door", in which young people are helpless when their favorite person (mother) is sick and they are unable to fight, relying on their own imagination to finally overcome themselves, To achieve self-redemption and growth.
The overall plot is slightly protracted, and the rhythm of the plot is relatively slow. Judging from the signs of the appearance of giants, it is all from the perspective of a girl alone. It is basically determined that this article is not the main line of a giant (or monster) film, but a tool for expression.
The sea rises, triggering your imagination that giants are in the water.
Supernatural imagination is a must, or it is a giant movie!
The shadow of the giant, you are not afraid!

The problem of school bullying is reflected in many film and television works, such as "Miracle Boy", such as this article, when faced with school bullying, the attitude that children choose is revenge, forbearance, counterattack, or forgiveness and redemption , there is no standard answer.
The heroine is bullied by the elder sister.

In the previous movie viewing, all the appearances of the giants were from the perspective of the heroine, and a young lady whom I met in school in time did not witness the appearance of the giants or the battle between the heroine and the giant, so fast-forwarding later will not affect the The understanding of the film is that I don't yet understand where the heroine's fears, difficulties, and unknowns come from. From the tapes listened to by the heroine, it can be guessed that it may be related to her mother. After defeating the giant, the mystery is solved, the heroine's mother is ill, and
the source of the heroine's fear is here.
The heroine's sick mother was in the upstairs room where she dared not go upstairs.

And the previous psychology teacher said, I have been to your house, and I already know the situation of the heroine.

In the end, the heroine defeated the giant, and the film uses the giant's mouth to tell, "Everything in the world will die, that's why you should find happiness in life, your time belongs to yourself, don't be afraid of the ending, deny the ending, It is to deny life, but accept it." In the end, the heroine calmly accepted the fact that her mother passed away. In fact, in the face of the departure of their loved ones, let alone children, how many adults are heartbroken and unable to extricate themselves, "But, accept it"! Compared with this film, the cartoon "Song of the Sea" uses the mythical story of the seal girl to tell the departure of the child's mother, redemption and love, and the coming is more tender. After knowing the whole story, I have to pay special respect to the heroine's sister. She has to take care of her younger brothers and sisters, take care of her sick mother, and work to make money (fast forward, I don't know where my father is), and I look at the weak child. Body, heartache for no reason.
Finally, I complained about the giant, the special effects are too general, of course, this film is not a horror film of the giant protagonist.
Evaluate the effect yourself!
