Geography

Good evening! I'll write about two short movies.

"Mermaid"
There is a boy who considered a fish as a mermaid. However, the country forbade the freedom of imagination and the boy was punished severely. In the end, the boy could not gain people's understanding and decided to live with a mermaid in the sea.
I think that the director wanted to tell about the freedom of expression. I believe that the end of this movie, which the boy entered the sea, described that resistance of placing a gag on freedom of speech.

"Aquarios"
There is a woman who tried to be a live in the water. One day, she met a man whose original
form was a dolphin. Through the communication of the man, Finally, she decided to live with the dolphin.
I think that the director wanted to tell about the personal right to decide of lives. the environment which could feel happy differ with people. the woman might be happy when she could live with the dolphin.Therefore, I am sure that this movie expressed the freedom of living.

Compared "Mermaid" and "Aquarios", there is a resemble. I felt that both of them indicate that expression of his/her essence and happiness depend on an individual and the environment. From other people's point of view, it looks like very crazy, but the person might feel happy when he/she could find his/her place.
