"Father said that humanity has taken away the ponds and swamps in which we live, then the wind, and the sky. Gradually, they took possession of the gods' places for themselves, and as a price, they all began to lose their feelings. - "Kappa's Summer"
See a question online – which film will bring you to tears for a second?
See the answer to "Summer of the Kappa" below, because:
The original title of "Summer of Kappa" should be "Summer Vacation Time with Kappa", and it should sound childlike and approachable. But the people who click on the movie are all crying and watching it...
The plot begins hundreds of years ago in the Edo period, kappa's father took Xiaoku to find human persuasion because humans want to build fields around the lake, but he did not expect to be killed by a fearful samurai, and when he was about to hunt down kappa, an earthquake occurred, and the kappa fell into the crack and became a fossil. In this way, the film begins with the Edo period kappa sleeping underground for a hundred years, and appearing in the city of Tokyo by chance.

The Chinese "River Boy" and the Japanese "Kappa" are two similar but by no means equivalent literary figures, which originate from the worship of the great rivers and rivers in the two countries, and are part of their respective water worship cultures. The legend of the kappa originated in the upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin in China. To Chinese, kappa are like water ghost-like creatures, fearful.
In Japan, kappa is kind, the Japanese attitude towards demons is traditionally more open and transformed, and the cultural tradition of mysticism is enjoyed in Japanese folklore out of the reverence of the islanders for nature.
Kappa in Japan is like the existence of water elves, the image in the anime is also very cute, in the "Summer of Kappa", kappa gollum has a pair of flashing big eyes, the eyes are often full of innocence and grievances, in Japanese myths and legends, kappa lives in rivers or pools all over Japan, according to local customs, there are different names, but they have in common "children living in rivers", so they will be called kappa.
The kappa is about a meter tall, about the size of a child's, with a bird's beak on its face and carapace on its back, a dark green protective color, and is good at sumo wrestling. It is said that elderly kappa can possess magical powers, can use telepathy to perceive the thoughts of people's hearts, and they have a plate containing water on their heads, and if the water in the plate is gone, the mana will disappear. These specialties have become the humorous laugh points in the film, and they are also the warmest plot in the film.
"Kappa Summer" is adapted from the Japanese children's literature works "Kappa Riot", "Kappa's Amazing Journey" and other kappa series of works, adapted by the director of the "Crayon Little New" series of films. The story takes place in Kurume City, Tokyo, when a elementary school student named Yasuichi Uehara picks up a stone under the Kuromegawa Bridge, finds a turtle-like specimen in the stone, and curiously brings the stone home.
After returning home, Kang Yi put the stone into the water, and a magical thing happened, and the specimen inside actually came back to life, it turned out to be a small kappa! (The plot is a bit like "The Loch Ness Monster"), and then Yasuichi's family also accepts Kappa and calls him "Little Gollum" because his first voice is "Gollum".
XiaoGu hopes to find his companions, so Kang Yi takes Xiaogu on a journey to find his companions, unfortunately, the search journey is not fruitful, he thought he could continue to live a peaceful life, but he did not expect that there was another crisis waiting for them.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > we are all part of a group that has been chasing for our own interests</h1>
The progress of civilization has allowed the brutality of mankind to be plundered from the bloody sword to an inherent greed. The tragic fate of the kappa and the endless greedy behavior of human beings constitute a strong contrast between one positive and one negative, the human characters in the film have an ugly side except for Kangyi's family, and the film is different from humans, and there is a special role.
A dog called "Uncle", it will use its own mind and Xiaogu to talk, in the last little gollum is desperate, it is the uncle who carries him through the streets and alleys, until finally hit by a car, even at the end of life, but also to tell Xiaogu, and finally regret leaving the previous owner, even if the previous owner has been beating him, but the thought of the warmth of the past, has also become the biggest regret in this life...
Animals are still like this, why humans do not have a trace of reflection on today's demands, it seems to want to become the master of the earth, the development of modern science and technology, but also erased the only remaining reverence of human beings for nature. Since it is a legendary creature, of course, the innate curiosity of human beings can not be let go, after the existence of Xiaogu was known to the media, Kang yi's family was also troubled, in order not to embarrass the Kang family, Xiao Gu decided to accept an interview with the TV station...
Although the human curiosity psychology is terrible, but it is still friendly, the live broadcast process of the program is not terrible, seeing that the live broadcast is about to be successfully completed, a mysterious guest has taken the stage. The appearance of the mysterious guest frightens XiaoGu, because he looks like a samurai who killed Xiaogu's father. And the "heirloom" that the mysterious guest took out was actually the severed arm of Xiaogu's father. Xiao Gu's emotions are completely out of control...
Under the director's delicate perspective, the audience will discover the wounded hearts of kappa and yellow dogs, and stand in their position to look at human aggression. For human collectors, Kappa's broken arm is his capital to show off, for Kappa, that broken arm is the cold remains of his father... In all the absurd and selfish scenes, the weak kappa cried out in sorrow: "Man has snatched water and earth from us, then the wind and the sky, and even the dwelling place of The Gods has been taken for himself, and in exchange he must have lost his soul." ”
In fact, the film also reflects the importance of the environment from the side, human beings should not take the earth as they should, even if there is no legendary creature like a kappa in this world, there are all kinds of animals. Of course, "Kappa Summer" is a very fresh cartoon, and it has also created a lot of ugly human nature, as well as good people.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right"> "It's great to meet you this summer." </h1>
XiaoGu and his father originally asked humans so that their living environment would not be destroyed by humans, but Xiaogu's father was mistaken by humans as a secret to discover them, Xiaogu stumbled and fled with the big fish that was ready to give to humans as a gift, but in order to intercede for his father, Xiaogu went back to see the scene of his father being killed, after which Xiaogu spent two hundred years of darkness with inner pain...
Two hundred years later, Xiaogu was lucky enough to meet Kang Yi's whole family and began to experience the life of modern people and experience the feeling of home.
Kang Yi's mother will let Xiao Gu not get too close when watching TV, and will also be curious to taste Kang Yi's father's wine.
If it is XiaoGu's behavior that makes people laugh, then what makes people sad is Xiaogu's kindness, it can only be said that Xiaogu is lucky, fortunately he met Kangyi, Xiaogu lived a peaceful and happy life in Kangyi's home, and the whole family carefully concealed the existence of Xiaogu.
"Kappa Summer" is a film with rich connotations and profound themes, with a variety of interpretations, but no matter how it is interpreted, the touch and shock brought by Xiaogu has always been there, and at the end of the movie, the out-of-control Xiaogu is forced to the towering Tokyo Tower, full of black oppressive people and cars, the scorching sun makes him exhausted, Xiaogu looks at the city below and whispers: "There is no quiet place anywhere, here is the nest of human beings." I'm going to go to Daddy's..."
Little Gollum's prayer brought thunderstorms and dragons.
Xiao Gu felt that this was a dragon called by his father, xiao Gu who understood his father's painstaking heart finally returned to Kang Yi's side, and finally Xiao Gu received a mysterious letter with a very special atmosphere on the letter, Xiao Gu felt that this was sent by his companions, determined to find a companion, although he was reluctant in his heart, but Kang Yi's whole family thought that Xiao Gu should live in a free world, and it was always unhappy with humans...
Eventually, Gollum meets the owner of the letter, the so-called kind of kinner, a creature that pretends to be human-like in order to escape humans, although it is a close relative of the kappa, but it has long since faded the green leather coat and grown thick body hair.
This also indicates the final result of Kappa forcibly following human beings to change their way of life, perhaps we should be thankful for Xiaogu, its strength makes it return to the green water and green mountains, at the end of the movie, it looks up at the dense jungle, holding Dad's arm and saying to the land reverently: "I and Dad are going to live with this temporarily, I just need fish that can survive, please tolerate me." ”
The ending song gently sings: "Just where you can be yourself, always laughing..."
