夏日友晴天

标题夸张了，其实也就是统治了迪士尼吧。

总之，我连刷三部，已经分不清了

没有贬低任何一部作品的意思。

混剪

少于140字还不能发啊.....

好吧，以下水字数。

《寻龙传说》西苏的设计一开始使用了“瞎眼”配色。湖蓝配芭比粉，这死亡明度饱和度…属于“打印不能”的程度。但是后来逐步修改，变成了比较柔和的配色。身体以湖蓝为主，毛发和鳍用了淡紫色。

早期原画

后期效果

《夏日友晴天》成片里Luca的，看人物计的草稿，一开始是以浅蓝和浅绿色为主的。比较柔和，后期变成了如今的魔鬼饱和度。

左侧早期，右侧后期

话说现在的原画设计用色可真是大胆啊，居然敢用这样高饱和的cyber色，有些颜色很接近RGB的最大饱和度了。竟是些海报上都打印不出来的颜色。

无论是身体的残疾，还是心理生来的胆怯，或者因部分镜头与Call Me by Your Name太相似，而将这部电影被热议为最LGBT的皮克斯作品，Luca一直在提醒我们要善于接纳别人，并勇敢骄傲的做自己。

这个过程很艰难，比如是否敢于展示自己，是否愿意向一个有刻板印象的社群解释，并让他们理解接纳自己等等。不过所有的一切都源自最初的那个——是否接受那个最真实的自己。

豆瓣上不少网友说这是个sad story，但我觉得里面三个性格独立的主人公最终在收获了一个美好夏季的友谊后，并没有因任何一位的不舍而改变既定在心理那个最渴望、最真实的方向，彼此成全对方朝着最忠于内心的方向，这或许更是一种成熟的友谊。

毕竟年纪大了，更明白“一辈子的朋友”只是一个美好的愿景。那些在人生的不同阶段，陪你走过一段时间后，各奔东西，之后他们和你一样，在下一个阶段又会有新的朋友。所以朋友本不该是拴住不放的，而应该是留在回忆里的，那不意味着不再联系的市区，反而可以是温存着的美好。

当然，一部电影看完，若不同的人能获得不同的感受，这无疑是一部好作，就这一点来说，似乎皮克斯从来没让人失望。

PS：电影最后打在屏幕上的字幕很打动我：

This film is dedicated to Alberto Surace.

Patricia Ann Buchholz Willrett (1974-2020).

And all the friends who pulled us out of the water

and helped us find our way.

所以无论过去还是将来

Be proud & 共勉。

这段感情至真至爱至美，规划为哪一类感情自由心证即可，不必非要理解成两个男主就一定是爱情，但也不必抹杀这种可能。

毕竟你片名撞人家导演的名字（这导演还公开出柜了），故事发生地点撞人家原著故事发生地点，人物形象和镜头画面等等也有部分相似的地方。

当然，导演出面解释了相似的原因，但不管理由如何，既然诸多元素频繁撞一部享誉世界的LGBT题材作品，那么就不要指责观众往LGBT的方向想吧，多些包容，不要一言堂，不要试图扼杀自己不想接受的东西。

一起感受这个美好的夏天和这两个男孩真挚纯美的感情吧。

love is love

有很多人说在强行相似，更新了一张车站离别的对比图，连车厢号都是一样的，这可真是巧克力中的巨无霸巧克力了。😂

看之前还想，海怪的设定为什么纷纷理解为LGBTQ隐喻，而不是一个简单的、渴望外面世界的成长故事，当年《小美人鱼》怎么没这个待遇？ 看完觉得，确实这样理解最恰当。出水即变人的设定把海怪和其他人的区别降到了最小。 甚至很多时候把他们看作LGBTQ群体反而更顺畅。比如他们作为海怪，明明被抓起来就会被杀，为什么还非要回去扶一把朋友？看作出柜了只会被奚落和暴力赶走，但是不会致死，剧情会自然很多…… 这几天在看《姿态》的情况下，我甚至可以脑补出这样一套故事：被发现性取向赶出家门的男孩被变装皇后家族收养，后又因为想融入主流社会，跟偶遇的一个常年混迹江湖的前辈离家出走，两人开始想方设法融入传统白人社区，并在一个女性朋友的帮助下开启了自己的新生活…… 感觉也没什么维和之处。 重点：我只是说海怪这个背景设定很契合LGBTQ+的隐喻，没说两个小男孩之间是爱情。包括代换的这套故事里，也只说了他们是前后辈的关系。 感觉他们之间更像友情，也可以说是兄弟。甚至那段嫉妒的剧情，让我想到《怪诞小镇》中的两位Grankle Stan. 两个人之间确实没什么暧昧…… 其实看完之后更多会想一个问题：这个社会，我并不熟知的所谓大多数人，他们到底更容易接受海怪还是LGBTQ群体。 整部电影最让我感动，也最让我不适的地方，正是镇民们对海怪的接纳。 我第一反应是，把他们看作同志群体，这里反而更自然些。同为人类，总要比海怪，比这些被悬赏被天然判处死刑的生物，更让人容易接受吧？ 但是进行这样的角色代换之后，我更难受了。太轻描淡写了，这个接纳的过程太简单了…… 突然就发现，以这种畏畏缩缩的方式去隐喻LGBTQ群体，不仅是胆怯，更是懒惰，也可能是黔驴技穷。 说回电影吧。 我发现我没法去说这部电影讲了什么。 成长嘛？不，两个孩子都没什么变化，他们本来就是自信勇敢的小天使，只是对外部环境是否能够接纳自己存疑。他们也没有做过什么“不接受真实的自己”的事情。毕竟他们本来就没有必要也没有义务，以海怪的姿态出现在人类小镇上。他们躲避的不是自我，而是危险。何况谁又能说，在岸上的另一种姿态就不属于他们自我的一部分呢？ 友情嘛？不，他们其实也没有遭遇过真正意义上的友情危机，矛盾的消融和后来高潮处的接纳一样，过分简单，温情到不像皮克斯而像迪士尼，让我想起《疯狂动物城》里朱迪向尼克道歉的片段。 那场争端看似由嫉妒引发，其实只是两人有一个根本的意见分歧，即，人类真的可能接纳海怪吗？而一直自信满满，自以为对人类十分了解的Alberto，恰恰是思维被禁锢的那个。 整部电影唯一完成度较高的主题表达可能正在这里：或许我们应该像纯净的Luca一样，对人类的宽容和博爱有更多一点的信心？ 说实话，对于这句话，我只能用问号结尾，而非句号。 而抛去内核，只看这个故事和画面呢？ 我觉得很僵硬，或者说正是从两位少年走进人类小镇开始变得僵硬的。没有了自然动人的情感支撑，后半部分就是在走剧情而已。意大利夏日风情沦为高饱和的明丽背景，但是已然失去那种热烈又朴素的气质。别说和cmbyn相比（单纯比较场景与氛围的打造），取景在意大利的电影恐怕大多比这部好，也并没有感到动画的形式为夏日的打造有何益处。 对我来说，除却结尾处，那幻梦愿景式的“异类”接纳场景，给我带来的五味杂陈，前半段两人自制电动车的冒险故事，才是这部电影最后可以称得上动人之处。只有在那里，我才从这部电影中切实感受到了，夏天的气息。

这部影片上映之前很期盼。海怪化身为人，来到海边小镇融入人类生活。想想都很有意思。

可惜看完之后，毫无惊喜，毫无亮点，感觉自己看了个寂寞。

影片开始有一小段展示海底生活的场面。这明明应该是最吸引人的部分：奇幻的海底世界、光怪陆离的海洋生物、海怪们匪夷所思的生活方式。

这一点很多讲海底世界的影片都做得很好，比如《寻找尼莫》里的海底世界五彩梦幻。

《海王》里的海底世界雄奇瑰丽。

《夏日有晴天》里的海底世界，只能用平平无奇来定义。男主一家住在海底山洞里，男主的工作是放羊（鱼）。

他们一家人围在大石头做成的圆形餐桌前吃饭，桌上有盘有碗。邻居也都在海底的农场耕作。

除了长得不像人，行动是用游不是用脚走，整个场面完全就是普普通通的乡村生活。这样的农村生活在陆地上遍地都是。我做错了什么，到了海底还要看这样毫无吸引力的画面？拜托，他们是海怪也，麻烦怪得敬业一点好不好。

主角上岸，进入小镇生活后，除了身上沾水会恢复原形这个功能，其他方面和普通小孩完全没有任何区别。他们的海怪身份，在情节推进中也基本没什么用处。

我还以为海怪们在岸上被浇水恢复原形后就没法在空气中呼吸，这样也能制造一点紧张桥段。可是并没有，他们估计是弹涂鱼一类的海怪，用鳃在空气中也呼吸得好好的，还能大喊大叫。

弹涂鱼本尊

也就是说，这两个小孩的设定如果不是海怪，而是外地来到这个小镇的人类小孩，因为长相、语音、信仰、生活习惯不同，同样会带来一些冲突，这个故事也完全成立。

这个小镇离海怪们生活的海域这么近，Luca的奶奶说自己也曾经到过小镇，还玩纸牌赢过别人。最后Luca和他的朋友在比赛中现出海怪真身的时候，围观的村民中一对老奶奶也现出了海怪真身。这说明海怪们这么多年一直悄悄混迹小镇的人类生活，对人类社会也相当了解。那么，以前是不是也出现过Luca这样直接在小镇生活，和小镇居民交上朋友的海怪呢？应该有。

那为什么小镇上到处都是屠杀海怪的雕像和图片呢？是不是历史上海怪和小镇居民有大规模的对抗战斗事件？

如果影片愿意讲一讲背后的历史故事，应该还挺有意思的。最好是海怪和小镇居民的千年敌对被Luca三人组一朝化解。这样的情节虽然俗套，但好歹有劲点，不至于像现在看得昏昏欲睡。

小镇上到处是捕杀海怪的雕塑和画像。说明小镇居民根深蒂固认为海怪是恐怖的，和人类为敌的生物。所以小女孩和父亲，以及小镇上其他居民接受两个男孩的海怪身份来得太容易了。基本没引起什么冲突。至此两个男孩的海怪身份可能引起的戏份全部浪费掉了。

退一万步讲，你说我就不想在海怪和人类的差异性上作文章。那也不是不可以。很多没有奇幻色彩的儿童故事也很吸引人，比如《豆蔻镇的居民和强盗》（这个还没拍成电影）。

你说我对小镇居民大战海怪场面不感兴趣，就想讲一个简简单单的友情故事，也没问题。《远在天边》（ Lost and Found ）讲的是一个小男孩和一只企鹅的友谊，故事简单而感人，我看了很多遍。

但《夏日有晴天》花了几乎全部篇幅讲了一个并不是很吸引人的小镇冠军争夺赛。他们参加冠军争夺赛的目的，是为了赢得奖金买一辆摩托车。

海怪的梦想是摩托车。。。好吧，我老了，我觉得这个设定一点也不好玩。

90分钟的电影匆匆忙忙，海怪出水和冠军争夺赛占据了太多时间。大部分人物形象都很单薄，比如反派和他的两个小跟班，Luca的爸爸妈妈。看完了回头想想，并没有多少值得回忆的片段。

至于两个小男孩之间是友情还是恋情的萌芽，我倒是没有很关注。这对这部影片的好坏影响不大。

After having earned a veritable Teflon prestige, Pixar studio’s latest flick LUCA whisks audience to a luscious Italian Riviera, directed by Enrico Casarosa, his first feature film, it inherits the studio’s sagacious and heuristic tenor, it tells a coming-of-age story of Luca (Tremblay), who belongs to a species of mythical sea creature which can turn into a human form when they’re ashore, but reveals their true self when they contact water.

Here, the message can be either interpreted as a subtle coming-out metaphor (something that mainstream cinema struggling to represent in the dead center) or read as an effusive encomium of friendship between two prepubescent boys. Either way, LUCA is as anodyne as crowd-pleasing, if its oceanic scenery cannot surpass FINDING DORY’s alluring pellucidity and ripple mobility, Casarosa and his team’s picturesque creation of the town called Portorosso is a sublime knockout, and their vibrant aesthetics are overtly influenced by the Studio Ghibli’s variegated coloration and hair-splitting attention to even the smallest details (the name Portorosso, “red harbor” itself is a homage to Miyazaki’s PORCO ROSSO, 1992), looking at that Italian pasta with pesto sauce and fresh basil leaves, how toothsome it could be!

The characterization is well-crafted, if nothing veers too far away from a teenage’s wavelength, a loving but officious mother makes a good pair with a slaphappy father, no wonder a kid wants to rebel, a daffy grandma always knows the best, and a boy’s wound left by a missing father can be assuaged by another father figure. Luca and his fellow sea monster Alberto (Grazer)’s bromance blossoms organically (their mutual fantasy about peregrinating in a Vespa betrays that the story is set around 1960s or ‘70s), and the film astutely draws on the delicate feeling of jealousy, displeasure and betrayal when you realize your best friend is clicking with someone else. Only, the girl character, Giulia (Berman), a human girl, is less eventful because she still fits into the category of a spirited MPDG, it is a disservice that she unwittingly drives a wedge between Luca and Alberto, because as a matter of fact, girl of that age is acutely sensitive, her impressionable sensibility shouldn’t been erased for the sake of the boys’ development.

So when all is said and done, LUCA diligently charts through the fickleness and wonderment of boyhood and sends out a heartwarming coda to reassure us all will be fine, nothing cosmically spectacular, but indubitably it is quite an eyeful and a heart-string puller. One minor gripe, the age of LUCA’s core demography could be pitched a shade older since audience has all been conditioned to expect something more than kids-friendly from Pixar, that may also account for its less enthusiastic reception, it is unable to hold a candle to COCO (2017) or SOUL (2020).

看到很多人在讨论Luca和Alberto之间是不是单纯友谊，没错，本片主旨就是歌颂纯粹的友谊。

导演兼编剧Enrico Casarosa来自意大利，你可能看过他的奥斯卡提名短片《月神》：

月神 (2011)

9.0

2011 / 美国 / 动画 短片 奇幻 / 埃里康·卡萨罗萨 / 克丽斯塔·谢富勒 托尼·弗希勒

导演的爸爸和爷爷关系不好，于是便有了《月神》。本片小Luca的原型也是童年的Enrico自己，他在港口城市热那亚Genoa出生长大，夏天会去五渔村Cinque Terre度假，从高高的石头上跳入海里是日常。片中的小镇就取材自五渔村，特别是具有代表性的渔村韦尔纳扎（Vernazza），风景如画，它们的美像被时间定格。主打浓浓的1950s~1960s夏日意大利风情海滨小镇小镇怀旧风，《Luca》是导演寄给家乡与童年的一封情书。

本片制作周期五年，2016年主创就组了第一支小队去热那亚取景搜集素材，游览了五渔村及周边小镇，从地形植被风貌到饮食特色到海水的颜色海浪的声音都进行了真实记录，力求做到一个词‘“specific”。片中的虚拟小镇Portorosso是个集大成者，据说一街一景一物几乎都能在当地找到原型，比如剧照里那个石洞：

下图就是导演和他好友Alberto（credit: Pixar）

从剧照就可以看出本片色彩鲜艳，有手绘风格，传统2D动画画风，某些场景可能有宫崎骏的味道。导演是看着宫崎骏的《未来少年柯南》（1978年）长大的，是宫崎骏粉丝深受其影响，他们还见过面。宫崎骏为了《三千里寻母记》（1976年）还曾来到导演家乡热那亚取景（主角马可住在热那亚的港口），可以说很有缘了。 动画监督 Michael Venturini在采访中说为了寻找设计灵感他们把导演小时候看的动画都看了，还参考了擅长制作定格动画的阿德曼动画和莱卡。 团队致力于简化台词，尽量用画面和人物表情、动作传递信息。

本片部分灵感来自宫崎骏1992年作品《红猪/紅の豚/Porco Rosso》（背景是1920s的意大利），作为致敬，原计划将Portorosso作为Luca的姓，但最后是把它作为小镇的名字，对应五渔村里的Monterosso。（Luca最后的姓是Paguro，意大利语意为寄居蟹。Alberto姓Scorfano，意大利语意为scorpionfish， 鲉鱼）

Tino小岛：Alberto居住小岛的原型

Luca的角色设定是13岁（2021年刚好导演的女儿也是13岁），眼睛很大，充满了对世界的好奇。他每天主要做的事就是牧山羊鱼goatfish，直到遇见14岁的Alberto。Alberto独立又自由奔放，和Luca性格完全相反，原型就是导演童年好友Alberto。

导演十一二岁认识Alberto，他是1971年生人，他们认识是在80年代，但要注意的是本片设定的背景是5、60年代，因为导演太爱那个意大利黄金年代的电影和音乐了，他从手绘、定格动画以及意大利电影人例如Federico Fellini（费里尼）的作品中汲取了很多灵感。费里尼1953年的带自传性质的《浪荡儿》讲的是5个意大利小镇青年成长中的酸与甜，主角Moraldo渴望逃离家乡去往大城市，最后抛下一切独自乘火车不告而别，《Luca》结尾致敬了此片，并使用了相同的火车设计。而片中Luca炫丽诡谲的梦境和幻想，灵感则来自1963年的《八部半 8½》，是导演最爱的电影之一。为了贴近那个年代，影片重现了当时的建筑风格、食物、字体、广场海报《罗马假日》、《大路 La strada》、《海底两万里》）、交通工具等要素。片中的Vespa设计参照自1959年款式，导演那会儿真的有个scooter，两人会在海岸边骑来骑去。为了在片中使用Vespa还联系Vespa的公司取得了授权。某场景中Alberto在自制小车上贴了张真人大头照，还学他表情，他就是1961年《意大利氏离婚》里的马塞洛·马斯楚安尼 Marcello Mastroianni。他的女儿Chiara Mastroianni在法语版《Luca》中给Luca妈妈Daniela配音。

广场海报

正如电影里体现的，Alberto自幼缺少家庭关爱，他放荡不羁，而小时候的导演被家人保护着，有些胆小害羞，截然不同的性格让他们互相吸引。Alberto是个小麻烦制造机，和他在一块会陷入各种麻烦，但他会逼自己一把，走出舒适区去试探未知，就像片中离开水面，翻越悬崖。

My best friend Alberto was a bit of a troublemaker,” the director explained during an early press preview of the film. “I was very timid, I had a bit of a sheltered life until I met him. I met him around age 12 and he was wild and free to do what he wanted, his family wasn’t really supervising him. We couldn’t be more different and that is really the kind of friendship where opposites attract. We’re also a little bit of losers and outsiders, so it also felt right, the idea of being sea monsters as the way that we felt a little bit different and not cool as kids,” he shared. “So Alberto got me out of my comfort zone and pushed me off many cliffs, metaphorically… In fact, I might not be standing here if I hadn’t learned to chase my dreams from him. So that is the kind of friendship I wanted to talk about, those kinds of deep friendships, important friendships that make us grow up, change us, that make us find ourselves. That is at the heart of Luca.

That is at the heart of Luca，本片的核心，或者说最大的主题，就是友谊，一个内向小孩和一个外向小孩之间的友谊，他们在成长过程中认识自我并互相成就。

片中的Sea monsters源自意大利古老的地方传说和民谣。五渔村有着丰富的传说，而大部分传说是渔民编出来吓唬别人的，好让别人远离自己的绝密捕鱼点。导演小时候很喜欢那些画着海怪的老地图，好奇着会不会真有海怪化成人形隐匿在普通人中。

影片中的海怪造型参考了16世纪的文艺复兴地图，以及意大利到处都有的海怪雕塑，设计方向是“not creepy or scary”，导演不想吓到观众。海怪在海里的动作设计参考了海鬣蜥。角色监督Beth Albright透露海怪离开水的变形部分参考了X战警电影里的魔形女，他们都有鳞片，但这并不够因为魔形女的变身偏向性感不是团队想要的。也有参考魔女宅急便里的黑猫吉吉。为了达到自然流畅的变形效果还研发了专门的技术。小知识，Luca身上共有3436片鳞片。

导演原话说海怪是“a metaphor for feeling different ”，当时他和Alberto两人当时并不受欢迎，不太合群也不酷，就用海怪来喻指“nerds”、“outsiders”、“others”、“misfits”、“underdogs”等等，主要突出一个不同吧，不合群的，格格不入的，古怪的，被排斥的，可以有多方位解读，片中的小女孩Giulia虽然不是海怪，但她也是一个不被看好的“异类”。Giulia父亲是残障人士，属于在生活中容易遭受歧视的少数群体。Sea monsters也可看作是偏见、刻板印象，毕竟它只是人类口中对未知的称谓，在Sea monsters眼中，人类也不过是善于杀戮的Land monsters。

We hope that sea monster could be a metaphor for all sorts of feeling different – like being a teen or pre-teen. That moment where you feel odd. There are all sorts of ways of feeling different. It felt like a wonderful way to talk about that and having to accept ourselves first, whatever way we feel different.

Our main theme is actually friendship, but a sense of self-acceptance is a huge part of this.

除了歌颂友谊本片另一主题是self-acceptance，认识自我，身份认同，自我包容，包容自己的不同。每个人都会有不同于他人的属性，有的大方坦荡，展露锋芒，有的选择隐藏，甚至视为缺陷。这个不同真的很宽泛，包括但不单指性。

Luca和Alberto之间的关系和Sea monsters的metaphor是两个互相独立的话题，不要一概而论，前者导演的初衷是纯粹的友情，后者是借海怪来表现童年的挫败感、不受欢迎。观众看海怪可能会代入自己的经历，有不同的看法和解读，这绝对是开放性的，海怪不是特指某群体或个人，它不单一也不明确，它可以是每个人。比如有人问导演是不是和难民、移民或人种有关：

“I love the metaphor of the sea monster, that it really opened it up to all these other readings,” says Casarosa. “I’ve had people ask me, is it a refugee story or immigrant story, or about race? We were aware making the movie that this was a wonderful journey of owning your own identity, and coming out with it – whichever that identity is. I thought that everyone would bring their own identity to it.”

“My experience was about me and my best friend growing up feeling like losers,” he says. “But it’s great that people have their own experiences and that this speaks to them.”

针对预告片放出后网上的一些言论和猜测，媒体采访时问导演本片立意是否与queer有关，导演反复提及他拍的只是单纯的友谊，还未步入青春期的还没有男女情愫的小孩之间纯粹又强大的友谊。（他回复推网友他和Alberto都是直男。导演已婚有一女，今年13岁。）

“I was really keen to talk about a friendship before girlfriends and boyfriends come in to complicate things,” Enrico revealed when asked to clarify the friendship between the two boys. “We really said, ‘Well, this is that moment before those things come in to complicate the picture.’ So, that was really never our plan and this was about their friendship in that pre-puberty world.”

被问到LGBT+方面的解读，导演说： I love the idea that [the LGBT+ allegory] can be brought in and projected. I think the best movies leave some room for a read into it.

Where I keep on thinking that the read into all the otherness and difference feels right is that [Luca] is a story about, at a certain point, like, “Here I am. Let the chips fall where they may.” And so that is a coming out moment. We kept on saying, “This is not about people accepting them.” Some people will accept and some people won’t. But it’s more about, “I’m going to fly my flag and I don’t care, and here’s me.” That was such an important part of this coming of age. And the friendship is such a big part of it, too, because they are the people that are around you and see you for who you are, and they don’t care [about] whatever differences [you have]. So we love the line in the movie, “Am I too much?” No, you’re cool. I love that whatever possible way we feel gets brought to this movie. So yeah, it wasn’t exactly how I started because my story was a little different, but I love that there’s that read into it..

“This is not about people accepting them”对应片中的两句台词：Some people, they'll never accept him./ But someone will. 意思就是说先别管他人是否接受，而是要先自我身份认同，接受自我。在追寻自我时我们可能会羞于展露，而友情的可贵之处在于，他们看到真实的我们，他们的包容帮助我们建立自信，接受真实的自我。这在成长中是如此重要。

导演回复网友截图

导演自认为异性恋，网友说本片多样性、包容性、身份认同的主题的触动了 LGBT+ 群体的心，他很欣慰。

结尾较理想化，人类很顺利地接受了海怪们，几乎没什么阻碍，或许主创是想把侧重点放在self-acceptance上。（这点看到吐槽较多，的确是没怎么描绘，替火车上的Luca捏一把汗）个人觉得村霸Ercole的角色比较工具化，他的每次出现都只是在Luca身边制造矛盾。刚开始我以为他会是长得像鲇鱼的海怪，贼喊捉贼，只有他大热天把羊毛衫披肩上还怕它沾水，但他有碰到水还没事，以为是他掌握了某种不变形的方法，所以才那么狂……事实是想多了。

其实Luca早期的剧本构思比较像《伴我同行》，Cicco原本是Luca他们的朋友，是一只河豚形海怪，后把他作为Ercole的跟班。Luca和Alberto还尝试通过魔法信物变成普通人，结果没有成功Alberto反而变成了 kraken（北海巨妖），Luca为了保护他与人类抗争。但最终还是选择别搞得太复杂，把焦点放在两主角上。

导演Enrico和好友Alberto（credit: Pixar）

整部片都围绕着友情，没有宏大的世界观，皮克斯这次格局小了？人出生便伴随亲情，爱情是永恒的追求，友情似乎不那么被在乎。它来得比爱情早，总是没有明确的结束点，可能在无意中被悄悄放下。 但它同样需要经营，它也同样能lifechanging，也值得用一部片讲述。高山流水，你真的有称得上知音的朋友吗？有身边的朋友互相肯定吗？童年好友还有联系吗？是否偶尔记起那些时光？即便分离只剩回忆，每次记起，是不灭的光热又一次传输给你力量。我愿此生被友谊照亮。

现实中的Alberto加入了意大利空军，是一名战斗机飞行员，还是上校头衔的。影片的制作他有一定参与，最后的结局敲定也有他的意见成分。离别总是在所难免，火车戏对应现实，蓝色中线象征着Luca暂别海洋去人类世界生活，就像导演20多岁离开意大利去追寻理想。

有网友觉得Luca和Call my by you name有相似点，纯属巧合，仅限于巧合。看看导演的回复：

Casarosa said that the characters were just friends and that the parallels to Guadagnino's film were only a coincidence, stating: "I love Luca's movies and he's such a talent, but it truly goes without saying that we really willfully went for a pre-pubescent story ... This is all about platonic friendships.

有说地点撞人家小说的，并没有，一个是Cinque Terre，一个是Bordighera（电影主要拍摄地则为Crema），中间隔着一个热那亚海湾呢，里维埃拉不是具体地名是riviera的音译，泛指海滨度假胜地。有说主角发型一样的，去搜搜导演本人图片吧，人家就那发型…… 既然导演回答了是巧合，还是别纠结太多。看看其他采访：

"We were a little bit surprised. As much as Luca Guadagnino is quite awesome -- I love his movies," director Enrico Casarosa tells ET with a laugh. "We always looked at this very much in that time pre-boyfriends and girlfriends and pre-romance."

制作过程中有人提议：做成三角恋吧，导演依旧坚持自己的立场，这次我们只谈友谊：

"And we had to actually defend that, because in the middle of this journey, people were like, 'Well, just let it be a true triangle.' But we just wanted it to be about friendship," Casarosa says. "I feel like we have wonderful movies coming up that deal a little bit more with after puberty, where there is the puppy love and the romantic side. It wasn't something that was part of the DNA of this. I wanted it really to be a little more in that earlier stage of trying to find yourself. But I do appreciate that people can read into any kind of oddness and outsiderness of these characters, that I hope there's something universal for everyone to take from it."

为什么主角叫Luca： When asked why he chose Luca as the film's title, Casarosa said that he based the film on his friendship with his childhood friend, Alberto, but he couldn't just use in his own name (Enrico), and chose "Luca" because it's simple, and "is pronounced well in America too."

导演在片中客串了三个角色，一个是大喊“what's wrong with you, stupido?”的渔民（后被Alberto效仿），一个是海边吹口哨的钓鱼大爷，一个是小镇上打牌的大爷（他赢了，边说“Scopa!”边把牌扔桌上）。 还有开头Luca追逃跑的鱼时，提到一条叫Enrico的鱼要么死了要么在游览世界，Enrico是导演名字啦哈哈。

以后会有删减情节放出，比如Alberto父亲在某晚上回来了，但又离开了。

Bruno不是Alberto父亲的名字，而是代表内心的不安全感，“ It’s just the name Alberto gave to the voice of his own insecurities. ”有时候也能代表理智，“ sometimes the voice of reason. ”理智告诉自己从高处跳入海里有风险，但也可以选择大喊一声“ Silenzio Bruno! ”纵身一跃。

This quote from Luca's mom is one of my favorites from the movie:

Some people, they'll never accept him,” she says. “But some will. And he seems to know how to find the good ones.

I think this is true for victims of all types of discrimination. Racism, sexism and other types of discrimination still exist in many aspects of our lives. Committed bigots will hold on to their positions, no matter how many facts are presented to them. However, if because of those bigots, we choose to only interact with people who look or think like us, we'll miss out many good people, and will have much less fun. I think this is what the "staying in the sea"/"moving to deeper sea" mataphor tries to teach us.

When Alberto chose to disclose his true identity to Giulia, Luca panicked and decided to hide who he truly is. More than that, he drew the line by betraying Alberta, and pretend that he's different. This is such a good depiction of Luca's identity crisis. When being his true self might mean losing some people he valued, he is too scared and had to hide things.

This reminds me of the dilemma that kids from lower-income communities faces. When they move up the social ladder, they are also losing connection with their family and old friends. In those two different worlds, they may have two different characters, the friends from their new circle might see their old self as unsuitable, and their home community might see them as a betrayer.

I also think of people with invisible disabilities. For them, it's often times a hard choice whether to disclose their need for accommodations at work/with friends. If they do, they might face stigma attached to disability; if they don't, they may not be able to realize their full potential and live in constant worry of being found out.

In the end, Luca and Alberto reveal to the entire town that they are sea monsters. Seeing this, Giulia's dad, who had expressed his hate towards sea monsters, took a surprise move and sided with Alberto. If he hadn't known Alberto, his opinion may not be that easily changed. I believe similar things can happen in real life: when their loved ones become victims of discrimination, people could have more emphathy and more motivation to fight against the unfairness. Also, when the society become more tolerant, more people will have the courage to claim their true identities, just like in the movie, we found out that some of the humans are actually sea monsters who didn't want to let others know.

I always like stories of underdogs. Like the story of Nike's founding. And like this one. They remind me that success can happen in most unexpected ways. That's why people who believe too much in perfectionism/ableism/elitism often see outcomes that surprise them.

Just a few more words about friendship.

Like Giulia, I could be just "too much": getting over-excited about things, sometimes in an akward way. So I really appreciate the friendship between Giulia and Luca. It is nice to have friends who understand or even share our "less decent" aspects of characters.
