[영어뉴스] 최종수정일 / 2010년 02월 03일 |
Josee, the Tiger and the Fish. Because of the unique movie title, it makes people curious. Even though this is a love story, it does not portray just unchanged love. Love and parting are natural like the passage of time. They also loved truly and then broke up calmly in the movie.
Josee, who is the heroine, has a disability of not being able to walk. She was living with her grandmother, reading books picked up by her grandmother. Staying in hiding, she walked to see 'flowers and a cat', avoiding public notice at dawn. She is very sensitive. Once at dawn, walking around, she ran into Tsuneo. They took an interest in each other. Tsuneo, who is an average college student, became fascinated by the unknown Josee. He felt Josee was not a handicapped person but a girl, falling in love with her. Josee's handicap didn't seem obstacle to their love. Josee is confident herself and Tsuneo does not care.
Actually, Josee's real name is Kumiko. Josee is the heroine's name in One Year Later, which is a book written by Francoise Sagan. As Kumiko wanted to be Josee, she kept a secret: "Someday I will not love him, but I'll be all right." That is a quotation from the novel. Later, she was prepared to accept parting with Tsuneo. One year later, they part naturally like the passage of time in the novel.
Hesitating to introduce Josee to his parents, Tsuneo looked back himself as tired of loving Josee. Tsuneo said, "Our parting seems to have lots of reasons. But there is only one. I escaped." Leaving Tsuneo calmly, Josee also prepares to be alone. It is not pathetic and sad parting, but natural parting since "That's just love."
"I was a swimming fish in the deep sea before meeting Tsuneo. But I was not lonely. I was alone from the beginning. Just the time flowed slowly. Someday, after Tsuneo leaves, I will be left alone. That is not so bad."
Josee is able to see a scary tiger with Tsuneo and swim in the deep sea to meet Tsuneo. Even though all things leave Josee again, she accepts parting calmly.
