About good kids, bad kids, marginalized kids and the wider world

Sea monsters and humans are incompatible with each other, but the one who took the sea monster Luca to explore the world was a bad boy, Alberto, who was rejected by the sea monster's father.

It was Alberto, Luca had a chance to reach what her parents called dangerous places, a chance to see sunlight, air, gravity. The wonder of the world made him hungry to know more like a hungry child. It was Alberto who taught Luca to reject the voice of the tortoise in her head and dream.

They don't know the world, so it's all about courage and fantasy. "In the sky is a school of fish, and then that big fish covers the school of fish."

Until Luca touched the moon in the dream, the water overflowed, and the fantasy disappeared. This is not the real world.

He returned to the sea, but his father and mother forced him further and further away from the real world.

But Luca already knew that what he had touched and tasted was not fake.

Some people say that Alberto and Luca are in a relationship of mutual admiration. In my opinion, the emotions between children are complex and simple. Although Alberto is jealous that Luca was taken away by his new friend, what Alberto needs is a father, and what Luca needs is a partner who accompanies him to explore the world.

They ran away from home. The purpose of this trip is simple, for Alberto, it is to explore the world with someone who needs him; for Luca, it is to explore the world with a partner. Their motivations are not the same. However, the purpose is temporarily the same - to get a Vespa.

They came to the town where they were born so terribly excluded. They had to pretend. But there are still people who reject them. Until the girl showed up (I forgot the name)

A girl is a self-improving person. Her father and mother may have divorced, or her mother may only take her daughter to receive a better education. The daughter inherited her mother's exploratory character, knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, competitive and strong, kind and loyal. But she's a little girl who doesn't belong, and she's not welcome. Maybe the first year, she was competing in three events to get the kids to accept her, but the second year, the third year, she was out for anger and revenge. She knew that children were not born to look down on strangers. She knew there was something wrong with the kid king in this place. But she can't do it on her own.

So, a stranger and two sea monsters from bad backgrounds came together for the same purpose.

It's almost not hard to guess that the conflict between Alberto and Luca will happen. When Alberto found himself no longer needed, when his own experience was no longer helpful to Luca; when Luca discovered how the mysterious world is defined by rigorous scientific knowledge, how history is related to present reality (his opinion of Rome curiosity), his goals changed, along with a single reliance on Alberto. The girl became his better partner. She holds the key to a new world.

In fact, what Alberto means to Luca still matters. Luca took him out of the island, and Alberto taught Luca the courage to explore new worlds. These two events changed each other's life.

Let's fast forward to the conflict between Luca and Alberto. Even the girl is surprised when Luca denies her origin (sea monster) and instead turns her gun on Alberto. Because Luca is also denying himself. This is an extremely fragile testimonial and stance. Because if Luca chooses to hide his origins, he will never be able to openly pursue the wider world in the light. This also paved the way for his final self-destruction.

In the final game, the goals of all three changed. Luca's goal became to fight for her friend's promise, the girl's goal became to fight for her own promise again, and Alberto's goal became to protect her friend. It seems that, except for the girl, all the children have achieved the transformation from selfishness to altruism - but in the end, the girl has reached the sublimation by hitting the little villain with a bicycle. When the two boys helped the girl up, echoing the last time they were hugged by the girl angrily, the three good friends finally reached a reconciliation and the same goal. Even the parents outside the field, the human discrimination chain, and the malicious energy were moved by such a concerted victory, and finally resolved the contradiction between sea monsters and humans aloofly. "They are nothing, they are Luca and Alberto"

They have names, they have courage, tenacity, and simplicity. Just like this movie, it seems to be a fairy tale sketch, but it has all the internal organs.

Why does the little old lady who loves ice cream have to be in the human city together? I think the reason must be very simple:

I like ice cream and she likes it too. Sister, let's go to that town together. Let's go together and eat delicious ice cream every day.

Such a goal, and Luca finally chooses to go to the wider world, and the girl finally resolves her own knot and realizes her justice, and Alberto chooses to continue life with the girl's father who needs him, simple, simple, but for every For a character, it is the deepest motive and purpose.

    I like the imaginative fantasy clips, the episodes in which Luka subconsciously betrayed him in order to protect himself after Alberto "came out", and the big reconciliation between "heterogeneous" and "non-heterogeneous" at the end. This fairy tale is very politically correct, and political correctness is also quite a fairy tale, but it would be great if a minority of nature could live in such a politically correct fairy tale.

    The style of painting is too cute, although the plot is a bit low, but the feeling of summer is great. I like all movies related to summer. Summer is the best. Friendly reminder that there is Uncle's Easter egg at the end of the film)

    Alberto Scorfano: What's, "under the dog's"?

    Giulia: Under-dogs. You know, kids who are different. Dressed weird, or a little sweatier than average.

  • Massimo Marcovaldo: You two are coming with me.

    Alberto Scorfano: Which knife do I get? Huh? Huh?

    Massimo Marcovaldo: You don't.
