I just've watched the movie. It was wonderful.. But, SPOILER.. I would have prefer that Ariel didn't had had those romantic feelings for her. I don't know, i understand the he got the same age as her plus his friends teasing him about them being lovers and she being taken away from him for another man, all that must have confused him..but either way.. I don't know, it just didn't feel right that he has those changes of feelings. But near the end when they reunited after the war it is implied that he has let behind those feelings and was back to think of her as a mother. Still.. I don't know, the movie and the end left me a bitter taste, they were separated most part of their lives TT
