as it turns out, word had gotten around that the keeper of cachalot cove was looking for some movie recomendations! i have placed a letter down below, writter by @skipper-the-selkie
Well my friend, I like to think myself quite the movie enthusiast. Here's my list for you, a lighthouse keeper who is 100% human *Song of the sea - this has no real people in it, it is animated. a boy goes on a journey through Ireland to help his sister who is a selkie and save the spirit world. * The secret of Roan Inish - I haven't watched this one, and don't know the plot, but I've heard good things! * The little mermaid - a young mermaid trades her voice for human legs to seek her true love. there is an animated version and a live-action one. Personally I feel that it doesn't quite fit the realities of the mermaid world, at least where I'm from. Not that I would know, of course. Haha! Ahem. * Wolfwalkers - this is another animated film from the same people who made song of the sea. Its absolutely beautiful, one of my favourites. * Barbie - if you haven't heard, this film is brand new and very popular right now! I loved it to pieces, although I don't know how you would feel about it. Best to be up to date with everything though, eh? Thats all I could think of now, friend! I hope you enjoy them, if you do in fact decide to watch them. ~~Skipper, definitely 100% human not a selkie nope
Dearest Skipper,
I thank thee for the reccomendations! I am much fascinated by the mermaid movie, and the selkie movie as well! I've heard that humans have stories and tales aboout them, but never figured they would becoming moving pictures! Much to learn, much to learn.
𓇼 Song of the Sea~~ I will start off by saying what delightful and beautiful pictures this was! I very much disliked the little boy, strange thing, and poor Saoirse having to deal with him. I did also enjoy the fact that the dad was a lighthousekeeper! Made myself feel a tad bit more noticed. The grandmother, reminded me very much about both of mine, in the way how they both deeply care about their grandchildren, always have tea, and the overal look matched one of my grandmothers when they're on land. There was feelings of comfort and pain as well, hearing the song in the begining being sung in the Gaelic Language. It is not often that those of backgrounds like these are even slightly represented. I do not talk about this to many, but my family came from the Western Slavic regions, and although my father has done much to keep our roots away from me, there is still a connection that I wish to keep. A splendid movie nonetheless!
I only had time to watch that one today, however I shalt tackle the one about the mermaids tomorrow!
May the Seas Guide You~~
