Good evening^^
I watched 2 movies Mermaid and aquarios. They were very complex and abstract movies.
I felt difficulty to understand....
Mermaid was made by Osamu Teduka, he is very famous and his work is popular. In addition one of the his work was made on the basis of Metropolis which we watched two weeks ago. Mermaid was simple animation. The boy met mermaid and he fell in love with her at once. Then he showed parents mermaid, but they recognized only small fish. So, he insisted existence of mermaid while people around him didn't let him believe it. After their pressure, he couldn't see figure of mermaid. Finally he recognized mermaid again and disappeared into the sea with her.
I think this story told importance of each sense of value. The boy had pure and flexible heart and innocence,on the other hand many adult had obstinate feeling. And last scene was impressive for me. The boy jump in the sea with Mermaid and he change his appearance from the little boy to mermaid. He went to own world without binding or interference.
Aquarios was more difficult than Mermaid. Woman hope world which people can live together dolophin.One day she saved man who was almost dying. she looked after him and had attachment. But on the following day man changed dolphin. It struggled and broke water tank, so she return dolphin to the sea. Dolphin (man?)swam lively and she swam with him.Finally they happily disappear together. This story told me that one thing have many side. I think dolphin and man were the same, but its appearance
was connect with her feeling or mind occasionally. And last scene was impressive too.
woman found the road that she should go and she looked like so happy.
These 2 movies had a lot of common. I learned that one thing have a lot of side,and we shouldn't be bonded fixed idea. Also, if we continue to believe ,the road was surely opened
These movies ware very difficult but I learned a lot!!
