I'm going to write about the animation that we saw last Friday.
Well...there are many ways you can interpret from the end the film, so it's an really hard subject for me.
I have two ideas.
The first one is that the fish that the boy found was just an fish until the end. This happened because the boy believed in the mermaid to the end. So the moral is "If you believe until the end your wish will come true"
My second idea is at the last scene the boy went out of the country to be with the mermaid. This is because at the beginning of the film there was an subtitle that was written " This is an story of an country that free ideas are forbidden." So if the boy can have his free ideas if he simply goes out. This will mean"Do not give up your ideas just because you are told to." Tezuka Osamu probably wants the freedom to think to be protected forever, which is an esstencial for writers like him and for children.
I want to see your views too, everybody.
