Deep Sea. Viaje a las profundidades

Actually, I want to give 6 points, and the extra 1 point is for the efforts of Chinese anime.

The picture is very gorgeous, colorful, and made with a great sense of quality. It can be considered a successful creation of a dreamy atmosphere. But sometimes it can overwhelm the theme characters, and made it confused.

The story was combination of Chinese and Western elements. I can see "Spirited Away", Dementor in "Harry Potter" and the elements of Stephen Chow's movie. It should be a story of self-redemption. She broke free from the shackles of depression in her own dreams. But in my opinion, she still needs external forces, attention, and companionship. In this story, she tells herself in her dream that someone loves her, someone values her, and someone accompanies her. The story interweaved fictional plots with reality. Sometimes it's difficult to distinguish whether one is in a dream or in reality. Perhaps the director wants such an effect.

As chinese movie this art piece does not qualify as anime and does not follow amerian animation traditions as well, it stands on its own. The animations and visuals are stunning and really something new, but with a downside for me: for some bizarre reason they added massive "action camera shaking" over a majority of scenes (which gives these scenes the feeling of "shaky handheld camera"), combined with many super fast cuts. This combination has the potential to spoil the experience for some people - I really disliked this aspect.

There is no real storyline, but a lot of room for interpretation. Take this art piece as it comes...

• its not really suitable for children, but not dangerous;
• its confusing, but you can find a storyline for yourself;
• its chaotic, shaky and superfast; but the stills look like paintings.

• it may ignite sad feelings, but there is relief as well.

So "Shen hai" is neither perfect or easy watching, but worth a look if you search something to discuss about.

The color matching is breathtakingly amazing, and the animation technology is at the forefront of the whole industry. The effect of this anime makes me cry, but sadly that's all there is. The movie has all the astonishing visual effects but it is too much for ONE movie. There's some scenes that is totally unnecessary, watching these incredible frames all the time is just making me feel tired and even disgusted. The director wants to show his talent so badly and it's like he put all the things that he have studied. The pace of the story drags on because of these scenes. Also, I cant understand what this movie is about in the first 1 hour. It seems like it is talking about a depressed girl is dying and the whole movie is about her dreams, but it is too unreasonable that most of the audiences can't understand. Anyway, it's a pity that this movie could have a higher rate.

The Deep Sea with its stunning particle effects, moving story content, in the Spring Festival stalls can be a flood of power to defeat the wandering earth 2 and full of red works, in recent years of animation competition can also be a flood of power to defeat thousands of horses, from the special effects or the core of the story are very heart, personally think is really the best Chinese animation film in recent years, breakthrough technology also breakthrough my heart defense, very moving film, although there are some flaws but the flaw does not cover up, I hope the audience can really quiet to watch it with heart, it deserves a better box office.

Unlike many mainstream movie productions, the appreciation of Deep Sea requires a holistic lens. Borrowing from contemporary psychiatric literature, the film tells a story of hope, despair, and the rebirth of a little girl who is undergoing major setbacks in life.

In a brilliantly constructed dreamworld that has inexplicable ties with reality, the protagonist interrogates the multi-facets of her life; a seed of hope is planted in an important encounter.

The plot can't necessarily stand up to the test of time. Yet, the constant build-up of suspension and emotion combined with stunning visuals and acoustics produced a beautiful effect at the time of revelation, where even the most unaffectionate person would find it hard to stay unmoved.

I would undoubtedly re-watch this film many and many times. But the colourful mix of emotions I experienced at the end of the film may never get replicated. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime film, and a once-in-a-lifetime exprience.
