In-depth analysis

This movie has a youth essence. Even after being humiliated by their classmates and tricked by the owner of the oceanarium by making them do hard labor, the boys still did not lower their self-esteem and practiced hard and gave the best performances by proving everyone wrong. The characters chased their dreams. Even after facing so many problems they still did their best that is the spirit a youth should have, never give up.
