Tezuka Osamu created this short film to send a message to society. I believe that message was to show that the evolution of society was headed in the wrong way. On the official website it says “ Around the time of this production, Japan's fiercely competitive examinations were criticized for producing average children with no individuality all over Japan”. This is still the case when it comes to school in Japan. There is not much uniqueness among the children leading them end up having no future goals or dreams. An unfulfilled and regretful life is the worst way to live in my opinion because you always focus on what could be and don’t appreciate what you have.In this fictional country where the short film takes place, it is illegal to have an imagination. This made me realize another message, to be grateful for what we have and what we can do with that freedom.
