Stanley Pickle

Hi, this is Nami. I'm going to write about the video "Stanly Pickle" that we saw on last Friday.

I guess the boy, Stanley, is around 15 years old from his appearance.

As seeing the video, we all were surprised to find out his mother and father were clockwork toys he had made, but I think he did it because he could not stand to live by himself.
Also, he wanted someone who stays with him. That's why he watched a girl who was running around in front of his house. He seemed to wish to make a friendship with her.

In my opinion, the conflict was he never got the real love by clockwork toys. It was a little hard for me to see him being alone.

The problem was he seemed to have the perfect clockwork parents, but they often went slow down or stopped.

The climax was when he found out he could never receive the real love from his parents or the girl after he made a dead bird the girl had buried into the clockwork toy, and she screamed and was frightened to see it. He found out it was quite different from what it used to be when it was alive. He also noticed that his parents were nothing but just clockwork toys. So, he buried his parents and the bird.

At the end, he left the home and was running around in the woods. He looked feeling woods, leaves, breeze, and some natural things like that.

In my assumption, after the video ends, he would go to city, get a job which offers him works like making clockwork toys, and get married with someone who is really alive. It's rather my hope.

Those clockwork represented "hope". He hoped that the deaths of his parents were not truth, and hoped to see them again. Also, he hoped to make her happy to see her friend bird again.
