I have to give a presentation about American pop culture in my class soon. It took long time to decide the topic. Music? I've done before. Video games? It's a little difficult to explain. Once a doubt rise in our mind, it's difficult to decide. Finally, I chose a topic of a fantasy movie.
Well, I like fantasy movies since I was a child. For instance, "The Neverending Story", "The Dark Crystal", "Willow", "Kaze no Tani no Nausika"(I'm a Japanese), the trilogy of "The Lord of the Rings" and so on.
Some people might say that "Fantasy is not realistic. It's nonsense! " Well, fantasy cannot be realistic, but I don't think it's generally nonsense. In my opinion, truly great fantasy reflect reality.
Moreover, reality can include even our dreams and metaphor, I think. (It's sometimes called "psychic reality".) Some people might say that reality only consists of the world which we can observe. That is such a superficial idea. We can't see our mind. We can't touch our mind. Frankly, I think that all of the artworks shouldn't be auctioned. (At least, the prices are just tentative.)
Some people tend to emphasize material world too much. But, just think about a radio wave or economy. They can be beyond our perception, can't they? If we believe a religion only literally, it's definitely contradictory to other religions. People tend to forget importance of imagination.
What I want to say is simple: Fantasy can be important as much as reality. That's it.
