Stanley
never goes outside. He likes to play with his clockwork toys and every night
his mother kisses him good night. How old do you think Stanley is?
I
thought he was about 7-8 years old when I just read this sentence, but after
watching the video, I think he is about 16-18 years old.
What does Stanley wants?
He
wants to be friend with the girl.
What’s
the problem?
Stanley
wanted to be friends with the girl, who is likes to dance with her friend bird.
However, the bird died and she was badly sad and she consigned the bird’s body
to the grave.
What happens to solve the problem?
Stanley
didn’t want her to be sad, so he brought the bird out of the grave and put the
clockwork into the bird’s body.
Where is the climax of the story?
The
climax of the story is, when Stanley and a girl met and Stanley handed a bird
which he performed an operation to put the clockwork into the bird’s body. The moment
she saw the bird, she screamed and felt scary. She ran away but the bird was
chasing her.
What happens at the end?
The
bird which chased a girl finally went to be nothing, and Stanley saw it. He
learned something, and finally he recognized his parent’s dead and buried his
parents in Cemetery which he made for.
What do you think happens after the video ends?
Stanley
finally became to know what is ‘dead’, so I think he may be sad at the first
time. It is hard for any people to accept the thing which they don’t want to accept,
and it is also hard for Stanley, too. However, I think Stanley will overcome
that and he can be brave enough to go outside from his house. I think he will
become friends with a girl and he will be happy in the end!
Who are the characters in this video?
Stanley,
His mother, His father, A girl and A bird.
What might the ‘clockwork’ (and especially the ‘bird’) represent?
I
think the ‘Clockwork’ represents the admitting, especially the admitting of the
die. And the ‘bird’ was the tool to make Stanley admit the dead of his parents,
because the bird showed him that it is no meaning to keep the people who died
besides him.
