I watched this film when it first came out, it was quite good cuz i love the ocean and most of the artwork relates to it. The film stroke me as it expressed the true size of those large, massive animals in the ocean (i'm the opposite of megalophobia, i love large building animals and stuff). However i didn;t get the idea of the film honestly.
I finally got to finish the original manga today (finished in two days), i'm impressed, speechless. It is such a huge world with much more information about the worldview of the whole manga than the film. And i believe that anyone who can finish the manga will understand the core meaning of the film. It explored the loop of birth and death of the universe (especially the birth), sapiens, animals, planet and everything in the world. I love how it uses bold lines on the whales, thin lines on human and the expression of eyes in the ocean. It is a fantastic world and the manga a true joy to read (the film was also good tho).
Please find the manga and read it if you don't understand the film!!
