We saw short movies about geography last Friday and I thought it was little difficult to understand. At first, I thought the theme of movies were "freedom of thinking", but I noticed I had to connect with "geography". So I were little confused...
Mermaid: A main character is a boy who saw mermaid in the sea. I think he have a pure mind, because he could see a fantastic thing which dosen't exist actually. People around him didn't trust him and treat him as crazy boy, and finally arrest him. It was unusual at the present day because what people think or trust is free now. However, at that time when this movie was made, people didn't be alowed to trust fantasy. It was said crazy to be able to see what other people cannot see. He was not much such a restricted world. I think sea is a symbol of freedom. So he wanted to escape reality and live in a free world.
Aquarious: This movie is similar to a first movie, Mermaid. A woman who is a main character wanted to be a dolphin and live in the sea. I think she was also feel uncuncomfortable with a real world.
The main characters were born in human world where they didn't want to be. I think they could move to the world they really want to be at the end.
