"The Red Turtle" is a story of man and family.
Home is a man's island. When she was young and vigorous, men hated her for being isolated from the world, like a cage imprisoning herself.
What's more, the disaster on the deserted island does not mention the past, nor does it ask about the origin.
No matter how ambitious you were in the past, now you're stuck in this small space.
Whether you were a king or a beggar, now that you are here, you are Robinson.
The protagonist in the movie, that's it, doesn't need to tell who he is or why he's in the sea.
He clings to the capsized boat and is carried by the waves to the end of his life.
Fortunately, the island blocked the way of the waves. The story begins here.
The man was deeply unfortunate because he was on a desert island, but he didn't realize how lucky he was.
Often, men also ignore the happiness of having a family.
Who can live without a home? The home here is not his original family, it belongs to his father, it is his father's island.
The island that belongs to him is the home formed by him and his woman.
Women make men grow, a theme that has been celebrated in countless films. Including this movie.
Just like the loggerhead turtle in the movie, knocking over the man's bamboo raft again and again.
In a man's mind, when he crosses this ocean, he can return to the civilized world. Men believe that life itself is a big gamble, and that there will be no success without death.
In the eyes of the loggerhead sea turtle, the sea is vast, with no direction or guidance, just riding a bamboo raft tied with a row of rattan.
In the face of the stormy sea, the bamboo raft is like a potato chip, which can be smashed to pieces immediately.
At least once in a man's life, he thinks that the woman beside him is so unreasonable, he is desperate to oppose him, obstructs or even destroys his own affairs.
These days, a woman in the eyes of a man is like a giant red sea turtle, a monster that cannot communicate.
Enraged, the man turned the loggerhead turtle that followed him ashore. Although the man regretted his atrocities, it was too late, and the loggerhead turtle was out of breath.
Only then did he discover that "monsters" like "women" were born with heavy armor because they were very fragile.
Only then do men understand that women are still women after all, and no matter how strong they are, they are women.
So there is pity, mixed with guilt and companionship, and then there is love.
In this way, the monster transformed into a woman and a wife in front of a man.
The vast sea of people meets because of light and shadow.
Thousands of miles apart, acquainted with words.
