1. Mermaid
This is a fantastic story.
A boy who has a rich imagination was in love with a mermaid .
But, people around him could not see the mermaid and think he is crazy.
So, they began to take him imagination by force.
This movie looks very simple and like watching a picture book.
But, I think there is something important from Tezuka Osamu.
One is the imagination is necessary for human.
The obvious difference between human and other animals is thinking power.
without the power, human could not developed by now.
Imagination is the very thing that people's special privilege.
Second one is that nobody is able to deprive one's imagination power.
Everyone made sure of the figure of mermaid was the climax of this movie.
Maybe, it is stand for hope that people for future.
2.Aquarios
This movie with no lines, more difficult than Mermaid for me.
I can't completely understand the story now...
The characters are a dolphin who is human live in sea and a woman.
I think this movie tells us that freedom is very important.
Originally human has its root in sea.
So, the woman in this movie has a longing for the sea is natural happening.
I would like to read other's blog to deepen my understanding of the short movies.
