Deep Sea

I couldn't watch it which pains me because the animation work is stunning, but it's exaggerated with too many details that pass way too fast. The storytelling is off and doesn't make sense.

Gave this a try as it caught my eye, and I wasn’t disappointed. The plot was a little bit hard to follow at times but the animation and mix of beautiful sets/artistic styles had me glued to the end. It was a joy to watch and in the end, not such a bad story. Emotional rollercoaster.

c'est bien, j'aime bien

Horrible movie. All over the place. Don’t waste your time.

The movie is absolutely amazing. I absolutely recommend watching it. I personally didn't have high hopes when I went to see it, but after having watched it I needed 5 minutes before I could even move from where I was seated. This is a must watch

Hey im a french spectator, im sorry for some of my mistake in the translation of this review ! Last night, I went to the cinema as I have a subscription and regularly attend screenings in my city. Walking into the cinéma, I didn't have high expectations, truth be told, I hadn't even watched the entire trailer for "Deep Sea.". Yet, by the end of the screening, I was spellbound, marveling at this exceptional work. Later, checking out reviews, I was surprised to see some giving it only 2 stars, arguing it was "visually overwhelming and exhausting for parents.". How can one fault a piece of such beauty and technical complexity for being so remarkable? Anyway, let's get back to my thoughts. If I were to summarize "Deep Sea" in a few words, I'd say: Its storytelling is profound and immersive. It masters the art to perfection. Its visual splendor is breathtaking. Touching. This film deeply moved me. Every moment was captivating, and the plot twist was subtly orchestrated, reinforcing the moral depth of the work. Now, I'll delve into certain plot details to support my arguments. [spoiler] Firstly, I'm fascinated by the quality of the production in "Deep Sea". The CGI effects are incredibly well executed, offering striking facial expressions. The special effects and visuals are breathtaking, with beautifully executed graphical changes, especially when Nanhe recounts where he used to live via the projector. Additionally, I noticed subtle references to real works of art, such as landscapes reminiscent of Vincent van Gogh's aesthetics, as well as motifs inspired by the SUPERFLAT artistic movement. Regarding the story, while Shenxiu's mother's narrative arc may seem simple at first glance, it resonates deeply. It's important to recognize that the reactions of this harassed and rejected little girl are understandably simple, sometimes naive or irrational. Despite this, I managed to become attached to both Shenxiu and Nanhe. The character development is remarkably well done; Nanhe evolves from the initial antagonist to a complex protagonist, while Shenxiu matures gradually, gaining confidence in herself and discovering her own worth. Her moment of truth, when she finally acts out of her own will rather than following others like a puppet, is poignant and powerful, marking her transformation into a full-fledged heroine. [/spoiler] To conclude this review by delving into the substance of the film, I want to highlight the numerous subtle messages it contains. Some are obvious, like the metaphor of depression, accompanied by the comforting moral reminding us that it is crucial to maintain hope, even in the darkest moments, because things will eventually improve. However, I also perceived a darker metaphor, evoking the themes of suicide and death. [spoiler] It seems that the dream world is not simply a protective construction of the mind to dissipate the traumas related to the initial incident, but rather a striking reflection of paradise. This interpretation becomes particularly apparent when Shenxiu crosses the "gate of the gods", entering a completely reinvented universe, populated by anthropomorphic sea creatures and unfathomable mysteries.[/spoiler] This journey beyond tangible reality suggests an exploration of the boundaries between life and death, between consciousness and the subconscious. It's a journey that transcends physical and symbolic limits. In summary, "Deep Sea" is to me an undisputed masterpiece. It should in no way be criticized by viewers who fail to grasp the depth of the message conveyed by the film or the splendor of its animation. It's a work that transcends the boundaries of animation cinema, offering a poignant reflection on universal themes such as depression, hope, and family as well. Its captivating visual aesthetics and moving narration make it a true cinematic gem. I wish all viewers an enriching and immersive cinematic experience. Enjoy the movie!

Película horrible. La animación no sé si está hecha por una IA, pero lo parece. La boca del protagonista masculino parecía de goma. La historia hasta el final no es explicada, pero te da igual después de casi 2 horas de bodrio. Eso sí, muy colorida.

This is the best movie I've seen this year. Maybe its plot can't satisfy everyone's taste, but it's worth watching with its unparalleled pictures!!
