Mermaid

  Last week, we watched a movie called "Mermaid". This movie starts with a scene which a boy rescue a fish. He began to see a fish as a mermaid. He enjoyed their time together by swimming, playing music and chasing. After playing, he proposed mermaid to live on the land with him. He carried her and showed their parents a mermaid, but parents see her just a fish. At that country, lberal fantasy was not allowed. So he had strict investigation and brainwashing, but he couldn't forget her. By those ways, he gradually began to lose her sight. He ran to his home and saw her, but he never see a fish as a mermaid. At the end he went into the ocean with a fish, and he and a fish became a mermaid and disappeared in the distance.
  I think a boy realized that there has no meaning to live on, if he can't fall in love with her. So he decided to go far away from a land and a new place where he and a mermaid can live peacefully. I consider that the ocean indicates the world that you can imagine liberally and creatively. You will never be blamed or scolded. Contrary, the land indicates the world which is filled with stereotype. You can't imagine freely or have a creative thinking. From those consideration, I think the ocean shows children's world and the land shows adults world. At the end of the story, a boy chose the ocean. So I hope they lived their rest of their life peacefully ever after.
