Sandcastle.

There might be quite a few interpretations out that but here's mine after I watched it (: (Might not be accurate to your taste but yeah)



Well basically this is a very slow paced movie...it's probably gonna disappoint you if you thought that there will be loads of actions in it. The 'Sexual contents' inside are all not that sexual..actually they made me laugh xD...








I won't say so much about what happened but here's what I managed to decipher.."There are still people who have different ideology living discreetly among us, they kept their ideology hidden for the sake of their children and that government might or might not have censored sensitive information so much that the past utopia that was the dreams of many have been long forgotten through generations similar to a sandcastle. A place of ideal home that would be washed away by the tides of time."





In the show the father of En was telling a story of a guy and an utopia in the sea...
What I get from this is that the utopia in the sea refers to the ideology that seems too far away/unreachable/risky/hard to believe, just like the idea of an utopia in the sea.





And that the guy didn't leave for the utopia because he couldn't bear to leave his treasured family members back in the island as they refuse/unwilling to follow him.
Which in this case refers to his father not able to leave his family behind and hence sacrificed his 'utopia'.





Another part of the movie that caught my attention was the hand written message from En's father which mentioned something like, hopefully the child would understand the amount of sacrifice his mum has made for him and stuff...which shows how much his father and mother treasured their ideology but still gave them up/lock it up, for the sake of their son, En.





Another message that caught my attention was the Sandcastle..a dragonfly on top of a sandcastle that might or might not be his father's spirit that En saw when he was 5 years old. In my opinion the Sandcastle refers to the perfect utopia that his father wanted and that when it was on top of it, it's like he has finally made a shape out of that utopia...but slowly..it would be washed away by the tides of time...crumbled.....forgotten.

Just like the movie's title..Sandcastle...they named it as 'Sandcastle' probably because it's an utopia that will never come true..and would be washed away by the tides of water through time..a perfect yet fragile castle that would be swept away by the tides of time. (A perfect yet fragile ideology that would be forgotten in time)




And in the credits, the singing of 'Home' by this guy that I find all so mesmerizing...I can hear waves of the sea...the tides..


After watching this movie and listening to his version of home, I'd made another discovery..maybe he is saying that his home is the utopia that his father has tried to create..

But of course there's a possibility of me reading too much into it...
(The sea, the sound of waves, the 'Sandcastle' appears in my mind.)
I doubt that they added the sound of waves by coincidence..




I hope that what I said made sense to any of you out there reading this (:


Have a nice day.
