Plot: This story is about a young boy who loves fantasies. In spite of his great imagination, the country where he lived had one big rule: Imagination was prohibited. One day, a young boy saves a fish which transformed into a mermaid. He brought the mermaid home to show it to his parents. However, from parents point of view, they only saw it as a original fish. The boy was then got into prison, and eventually he mind was being manipulated so as to erase his pure imaginary thoughts. Young boy brought the fish to the beach. In the end, the fish again turned into a mermaid.
End: All the police and other citizen were watching the boy and the mermaid swimming away from the controlled society.
Message: This movie is trying to tell us that this society is going the wrong way. Wrong way as in a society where individual character is not respected. Especially in Japan, I always feel that "Different" is something Japanese people consider as strange, unusual, or extraordinary, in a bad impression. Different styles of thinking, feeling and acting is something we should respect. In my point of view, having different characters in this world is much more exciting than just plain normal!!!!!
