Is the theme of mermaid environmental protection?

Many film critics blindly emphasize the serious environmental protection theme and innocent theme of this film, but they just don't admit that the director told a naive, melodramatic and even a little evil story this time. Please don't say this is a comedy version or an environmental version of Lust, Caution. You insult lust, caution and ask Ang Lee's permission? The style of nonsense comedy is not omnipotent, and it can't control the tragic core in the story Lust, Caution. On the contrary, just like serious environmental protection themes, the two will only dissolve each other and repel each other.

Simplicity and naivety cannot be an excuse for weak story building. The story of The Mermaid is characterized by false characters, abrupt turning and hasty ending, which can be known at a glance by the audience with a little experience in watching movies. In Lust, Caution, it took Ang Lee more than two hours to let Wang Jiazhi finally let mr. yi go, and there were many twists and turns. How long did it take Lin Yun to fall in love with Deng Chao in The Mermaid?

When watching The Mermaid, you can clearly feel that the director is eager to present those old terrier jokes to the audience, but he has no time to seriously shape the characters. There is a scene where Deng Chao runs away after deceiving Lin Yun, but he comes back soon. Why? Because they must love each other, otherwise the plot can't go on.
