Brilliant Film
Around a small town in 1950's Italy, there was a sea monster named Luca. Luca was confined to the sea by his parents but was always interested in the surface world. It was until he met someone by the name of Alberto when he came to the surface world. There, he realized he looks like a normal human when he's on land and a sea monster in water. He then tried to do all that he can to learn more about the human world with Alberto.
Luca is about the theme of acceptance. It has sea monsters not being accepted by humans at first and Luca helped change the fact. Though it doesn't seem as deep as other Pixar films and it's more of kids being kids. That helps show the uniqueness to Pixar films.
I find it similar to the Little Mermaid as both Ariel and Luca are both fascinated by the human world and a parent(s) don't want them to go as they said it would be too dangerous. It also seems similar to the Incredibles as superheroes became unaccepted and illegal and removed their special costumes to fit in and try to hide their powers. Luca has sea monsters being unaccepted in the human world and could look like normal humans when out of water and would have to try to not get wet. As well, sea monsters seem like a combination of Monsters Inc. And Finding Nemo. Monsters Inc as they are literally called sea MONSTERs (got the monster aspect) and has the aquatic theme of Finding Nemo. That's at least the two other Pixar films I could compare Luca to.
It goes along with some cultural experience as it's set in Italy. It goes along with Ratatouille based on France and Coco based on Mexico and its holiday Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). I feel like not everyone who has or will watch Luca aren't necessarily from Italy or even have Italian heritage. In my opinion, it's good to learn more about different cultures because simply not everyone shares the same culture.
Overall, I did like Luca and would recommend. - waleedjasim-86450 - 15 March 2024
I
The only way I could do that was if you wanted me too I could come and pick it out and you could pick up it and then I could go to the bank or whatever you want to do with it or whatever you like I could just go to the store and get it and you can just let me know and I will just let me too and then I'll be there and I can just go to the grocery store or whatever you prefer and I don't care what you think I just want you know and you can go to my place I just want it and I'll go and I can do it I just have a lot to myself I just want your money I just don't have a good night sleep well I don't know if I can get some money I just need some money and then I'll talk later I don't want you can just let.
