The background of the story takes place during the Industrial Revolution in the United States, when the United States has entered the electric age, people will choose both spacious, fast and fast steamship travel, so, the sailing ship at the moment of no one cares, most of the sailors gave up to continue to stay on the sailing ship to work, leaving only a lonely old captain, that is, the protagonist of the story, still adrift on the sea, forced by the development of the times, their own value is gradually lost, no one around can understand themselves, so this old captain gave up on himself, Drink all day and let the boat sail. But he once saved a little girl who had fallen from a large ship, and since then, he has changed his trajectory.
The appearance of this little girl made the old captain discover his own value, and he could no longer allow himself to fall, and he had to do his best to catch up with the ship that he had thought could not catch up, and to bring the little girl back. It was the little girl who "scolded" the old captain and made him awaken, as a sailor, a navigator, can not forget their mission, proud of their duties, even if they will lose their lives, they will not regret it. "Weathered by the wind and frost, enduring" is the best description of this old captain. At any time, we must not forget our duties and do not forget our original intentions. However, the editor believes that there is still a lot of content that this cartoon wants to express, and it can convey a lot of deep meaning, and I will talk about what I think after watching it.
There is a scene in the cartoon where the sunset is very harsh, when the big boat completely covers the boat, and the darkness of that period is very heart-wrenching. Although the old captain at that time was experienced and liked his work, he should not stay in place all the time, but should break through himself, change his ways and methods, and keep up with the trend of the times. In addition, it was the appearance of the little girl who changed him, the world is still very beautiful, and you will not be left alone. Therefore, it is still reasonable to keep happy at all times.
