Hi! yesterday, I watched the short movie made by Osamu Tezuka.
I gonna write how I thought about this story.
I thought the boy liked to imagine and wanted to meet a mermaid.
One day, when he touched the fish, he imagined the fish turned into a mermaid. He suddenly fell in love.He was happy and enjoyed with her.After, he proposed he should take her out to his watercase in his house.But his parents couldn't see the fish as a mermaid.And his nation didn't allow people to imagine freely.So, he had to receive punishment and to be tortured. I thought he was very tough. Because even if he was repeated to be tortured, he didn't forget love for her and continued to claim this was not fish but the mermaid. In the end, I thought he was very sad because he was forced to set her free in the ocean. But once the fish was in, it turned a genuine mermaid. I supposed the end of this story told us if we continued to believe and love something, even if it was just imagination, it would come true.
I thought Osamu Tezuka also wanted to teach us like the same thing, that is, even if it was just own imagination, as long as we hoped strongly, it would be certainly realize.
this is my evaluation of yesterday's short movie.
thank you and see you next time!^^
