Mermaid and Aquarios

We saw two movies on last Friday. Those movies were a little different from the movies we usually see. We got the strong message from them.

Marmaid
A boy is a main character. He liked imagining and longed for swimming with mermaid. However, people around him thought he was crazy, so he was arrested. Now we have a right to imagine freely and must not violate it. Osamu Tezuka may have made this movie to claim we must not control or suppress people's imagination.

Aquarios
I felt a little difficult to understand the message from this movie. So, I try to use my imagination freely. The main character is a woman. She also longed for the freedom. She really hopes swimming with dolphins.


These movies have a similar point. It is that the main characters longed for free world. In these two movies, it is the ocean.
