The trick is to think that this will be another animated film in the catalog Netflix; imagine that there would be no greater depth in this ocean of entertainment; that his cliché-driven characters would not undergo a major transformation. The trap is to believe it and not dare to see it sea monster (sea animal), losing luck finding it to spice up a couple of hours of life.
It should be clarified: sea monster it offers nothing different from several of the most famous animated films; independent cinema or even original animation can be better (that’s for sure). But this Netflix movie can satisfy a few key moments of a kid-friendly production. In this context, it works in a good way.
His drawing is pleasing to the eye, he has characters that adults and children can identify with, and most importantly, the transformation they undergo.. Even in sections where it is predictable, this set of factors means they can be left out in favor of the story it tells: how traditions and stories can be manipulated depending on the point of view from which they are told.
sea monster: background
How many stories we know are true? A common place (and no less important for this) tends to emphasize that the story is told by the victors, those who in many cases are the only survivors or have the financial resources to be able to tell. It’s the idea that sea monster wants to raise, suggesting that, in fact, the main threat to humanity is not another species, but its own.
This idea is rooted in the story of an orphan girl of African descent named Maisie Brambleinterpreted Zaris-Angel Hathor. It is more than a detail of inclusion, of representativeness, it is a declaration of principles: it represents so many generations thrown into the sea, marginalized and discriminated against by those who built (wrote) this story, turned into a book with which it grew up and with which he was fascinated His journey in moments is what adults go through for years: discovering how much myth there is in ideas presented as truth.
His counterweight, the white, traditional male clinging to whatever tradition fascinates her, serves as a polarizing story. But without confronting each other. They are not opponents. On the contrary, they serve as mirrors for themselves in order to recognize themselves and try to break with the tradition to which they belong. In the case of a person Jacob Hollandinterpreted Karl Urban (Thor: Ragnarok), we are talking about her lifestyle, which the girl begins to contradict.

Fall of idols
In this way, the Netflix adventure story reveals the various layers that make it more than just a fun story. His characters, unlike Captain Crowinterpreted Jared Harris, they have to deal with referential search. This is not just one, but the axis on which the stories of beast hunters are developed. The task is not easy: to destroy the myth.
Another possible reading: Notice how people’s natural fear leads them down even more dangerous paths than the ones they feared at first. Between Captain Crowe and Jacob Holland there is a very close relationship of father and son, referent and applicant. Something similar is proposed for Bramble and Holland, only they build a different type of connection, free of some prejudices, as they transform.
At that time, sea monster leaves behind the world in which Captain Crow grew up. Ideas mutate, and technologies also make their way. The character also allows director Chris Williams to hint at the importance of personal pursuits, desires and aspirations; giving free rein to reflection: what happens when these goals become harmful obsessions that poison the system. The answer is: hatred manifests itself in different ways. It is because of these types of messages that it is necessary to leave behind the initial ideas about sea monstera movie to which one can question the rhythm and tension of its second act. However, it’s worth it play.
