Mirage

Hi!!
Our class watched a video named "mirage" on last Tuesday and the video told each of us something. The moving image mainly represents "Circle" and "Circle" stands for coexistence between human-beings and nature. In this video, there is a robot, which is a symbol of human, and he searched for water eagerly. This action means that human needs water and without this, we will die in about three days. And this is a weakness point for human-beings. When he serched for water, he found an object concluding a lot of water. He tried to pull out water from the object and finally he decided to destroy it and did so. After he got plenty of water, a fish appeared from the object. He was very surprised, being depressed by it. He caught the fish as quickly as possible and put it in the place where is he always save water, (and the place is a part of his body). He rescued the fish!!

This action told us the importance of coexistance between human-beings and nature and we have got to protect nature without destroying it. The robot of the video represents too developed human and we believe we can do everything, but in fact, we are very very weak without any water. Nature doesn't have will at all and wasn't developed like human, but we human and nature could be the same at the point of weakness.

In addition, the end of the video, the scene the robot is in the sea is the same one as the first. We can also see "Circle" from it.

The video is no language, so we have to understand by only the image. However watching and being able to understand the meaning of the video is very enjoyable, I think.

See you soon!!
