My thoughts on the mermaid movie

In my opinion the message being portrayed in the mermaid movie is the power of the mind. The main character, the boy, imagined a fish he found in the ocean as a mermaid. In his town imagination was not tolerated. However  no matter how hard the officials tried to change him he couldn't forget about the mermaid. I think this shows how if you believe in something so much it doesn't matter what people say. About the ending though I'm still trying to interpret it. I'm not quite sure what it means yet but it's interesting to read everyone's interpretation of it.           By Reina
