Only kids can create pure love

What a great thing to be able to sit down and watch a Hayao Miyazaki movie.
The incredible thing about him is that you will never know what he will bring to you in the movie, and will benefit you a lot every time.
Faced with this "Goldfish on the Cliff", who would have thought that he would let a pair of five-year-olds come to talk about a total love. It does not have the gimmicks and selling points of Hollywood. The pictures are simple and thick, but they are vivid and full of charm. A master who launched such a work in his late 70s symbolizes returning to the basics, breaking into parts, and creating everything.
Assuming it is regarded as a classic love course, you can use this film to see what factors are needed for successful love.
In that fishing village by the sea, when the boy Zongjie first met the princess, she was just a stranded goldfish. Although this is the budding period of love, for the five-year-old Zongsuke, he has never thought of using sweet words, nor has he considered strenuously planning a date, he even didn't even ask her horoscope characters. The wonderful encounter opened everything up, and they were still in the dark at that time. He let the goldfish live in a green plastic bucket, shared his ham with her, and gave her a name called "Ponyo". Zongsuke is not a daughter, nor a child who is accustomed to. His family of three cannot be reunited all the year round because he is the father of the crew. This has created his perseverance and kind-hearted character. Zongjie treats Ponyo with his sincerity, and Ponyo naturally doesn't want to go back and forth. He only yelled "I like you!" to him within a day of getting to know him, regardless of the embarrassment of being a fish at the time.
You have to say that the children's liking for each other is too casual and not enough, but they have also experienced hardships afterwards.
After all, this is very helpless, parents will always become the enemy of love at a certain time. When Ponyo was forcibly taken away by the sea, even the strong Zongsuke couldn't help crying. But this is a necessary stage. Love gradually shows its magic when there is trouble. Zongsuke has no Ponyo, even if he eats ice cream, he can't feel the sweetness. But Ponyo, who owns the whole sea, just wants to return to that. In the small green plastic bucket, we can see how important it is to need and be needed! Finally, when they met again, Ponyo was already a decent five-year-old girl. This may prove that the deeper you love someone, the more and more they will become like the old saying of the other person.
Zongjie's mother Risa took Ponyo home, and the three of them drank milk tea and ate instant noodles at the power-off house. Ponyo rushed into a rampage barefoot, and Zongsuke took the trouble to explain the rules of the human world to her. Everything is simple, but this lost happiness makes them fearless in a small home.
Just because they are children, they don't know how to be ambiguous, and they don't know how to be reserved, and they don't think that the next person they meet will be better. Or this is not love defined by adults, but adult love is true love?
Even though Risa is a different mother, when Sosuke lost Ponyo, she told her son seriously, "There is destiny in this world." But such a cow mother, when she learned that her husband could not go home because of going to sea, would throw a spoon in the kitchen and shout "No more cooking!", and had to let the broken-hearted Zongsuke console her in turn.
Adults can play tricks at will, why don't children have the right to take it seriously?
At the end, Poseidon asked Zongjie, would you like to never let go of Po Niu's hand, even if you know that she is actually a fish. The adults would shout, "Don't promise lightly, you are still young, you know what it means!" But
Zongjie, he couldn't wait to kiss Ponyo.
In love, an adult can be a child, and a child can also be an adult.

    Love is an eternal theme, and Miyazaki's animations have always expressed this very well.

    The animation for children is suitable for adults too. I like Ponyo. There are many small details in the film, such as the names of Ponyo and Sosuke, as well as the beautiful gladioli. I admire Miyazaki Jun's dedication to details.
