Mermaid

    I think main character of the movie was the man who met with the mermaid. when i watched the movie, i felt that the mermaid did exist just in that man's dream, and not in reality. for example, looks like his family and polices couldn't see mermaid but a little fish!

    I think Osamu Tezuka wanted us t think about how important imagination is, and how we should respect each other's ideas. we often see porople discuss about something, and they sometime say " your idea is completely wrong! you must think THIS way!". I think he wanted to us leave from this kind way of thinking, and be more respectful.

    In my opinion, the man died by torturing, and end of his life, he imagined his dream, which is playing with the mermaid.
