Without knowing much about the artist Chim↑Pom, I went to see "Chim↑Pom Exhibition: Happy Spring" at Mori Art Museum. Because the exhibition stimulated my thoughts so much incredibly, I rushed out to buy a copy of "Bijutsutecho" featuring Chim↑Pom and thought about Chim↑Pom a lot.

Is “blood ties” the only thing that makes a family? Is providing “future happiness” what parenting is all about? Inspired by the actual “baby mix-up case”, Koreeda Hirokazu's film “Like Father, Like Son” portrays a struggling family and prompts us to think about “what is family?” and “how should we approach parenting and happiness?”

"The Boston Globe," a local newspaper, revealed the shocking fact that numerous priests had been sexually abusing children for many years and that the entire church had been covering up the truth. The movie "Spotlight" depicts their struggle and helps us understand the importance of "keeping power in check."

Alan Turing, a brilliant mathematician who developed the basic principles of computers, broke the strongest encryption machine, Enigma, which was once considered "impossible to decipher". After watching the movie "The Imitation Game", I learned about his unfortunate life, which led to his suicide due to prejudice despite having saved more than 14 million lives.

Living in a world that's too convenient, we stop imagining about "how this convenience was created". This "indifference" can definitely make the world worse. From the anime movie "Genocidal Organ" based on Project Itoh's novel, we can learn about the "cruelty of indifference" and the importance of "imagination".

To argue that something is "correct," we need a "standard of correctness." However, even with that, the question of whether "anything goes if it's not regulated" can be problematic. The movie "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" uses three analog tools, or signboards, to expose the realities of modern internet society and make us think about the “difficulty of ‘correctness’."
