Pobby and Dingan

Have you ever used the place called MLC in NUFS? You know that NUFS has a place where you can watch movies (DVD and VIDEO).The place is MLC. In this summer, I saw a lot of movies at MLC. Today, I am going to talk about the movie which I like. “Pobby and Dingan” This is one of my favorite movies. I read it in the original when I was an elementary school student.

This is the story about a boy named Ashmol who has a younger sister. Her name is Kellyan. She has two friends, ”Pobby and Dingan”. She loves them very much. However, they are not real friends but imaginary friends. Only she can see them. Ashmol know the fact that her friends do not exist and he does not like his sister’s friends, ”Pobby and Dingan”. So he makes a fool of Kellyan and never tries to believe her. Their parents also do not believe her and they even try to vanish her imaginary friends. One day, Kellyan are confused because she loses her friends and she does not know why. She starts to look for them. After all, she cannot find them. After this incident, she becomes ill. She cannot eat anything and she throws up. The doctor does not know the cause of her illness. Ashmol thinks that Kellyan really needs “Pobby and Dingan” and he starts to look for them in order to see her smile again. He is sure that Kellyan will recover from her illness by believing the existence of “Pobhby and Dingan” and finding them.

I also introduce about the scene of this movie. The story is set in Australia. You know that Australia has a rich natural environment. So, I think that you fell relax when you watch this movie. Ashmol and Kellyan’s father is a mineworker who works to find opals. You can rarely see the spot where mining is done in Japan. I think that you will be surprised if you see it. Also, it is really interesting for me that opal is used for the part of the body of Kellyan’s friend. You will not be able to see the figures of her friends. However, you should pay attention to Kellyan’s expressions. If you do so, you will really enjoy this movie.

Can you guess why I like this movie? This movie teaches me the importance of believing. If I am in Ashmol’s place, I do not know whether I can believe Kellyan or not. However, the end of the story, Ashmol can help his sister by believing not only her, but also himself. If he does not believe his sister and himself, I do not think she is able to recover from her illness. I think that believing is a really important thing because people can realize their hopes by believing first. I could realize by watching this movie that people can do their best by believing their hopes, the things which are important for them, and themselves. I will be happy if you enjoy this movie and think about many things which you cannot think in daily life. What is your favorite movie? Tell me about it!
