A man goes to his office by boat because he doesn't like crowded place. One day, a beautiful woman asks him to take her to her office by boat. After that, more and more people take his boat. It is displeasing to him. Finally, he hits on a good idea to avoid the people.

In the short film, people don't say anything from beginning to end, but I can imagine what they say and their feelings. "Fish out of water" means a person who feels uncomfortable or awkward because he or she is in surroundings that are not familiar. I think fish out of water in the film is the man. He goes to his office that is in city and he takes many people to their office by boat every day, so he feels stress. However, the story ends with a laugh, so I think he overcomes his stress. There is the love story element in the story too, so I never lose interest. If you watch the short film, you will burst out laughing.

Living peacefully
feae-7259827 July 2016
This short film is one of the funniest movies I've seen. The main character of this movie is so clever and peaceful, so people who watch this will learn something absolutely from his way of thinking by watching this film. When the problem happens, he solves it without arguments and unpleasant things. Also, he settles it so easily without conference. The story tells the point of view of smart people. This is memorable, amusing and valuable for adults. Lots of expressions of characters are so clear to understand and know feelings. I think people who suffer from and feel difficulties in socializing should watch Fish Out of Water. It is a good text to learn thinking for living peacefully.

This movie shows human irony, but sometime it makes people laughable. This movie begins with a scene of traffic jam which often annoys students and businessmen. So, a men thought a surprising way of avoiding it. He uses a boat which is not used for commute usually. In movies, establishment is so important to catch viewer, on that point this movie succeed to catch viewer's mind. The time of sailing makes him relax, but his fulfillment is threatened by a rude woman who want to ride his boat. She succeeds in her desire by catching his secret intention; this is a beginning of nightmare. The day after he helps her, the number of member in his boat increase and a motor is attached. His heaven is destroyed. This surrounding is just "a fish out of water". This story is so hard for the leading character, but in this movie the bad luck is described comically, so I can hear the laugh of friends when I see this. And his final judgement of commute is so interesting because he decides to go to his workplace by swimming with a snorkel and wet suit, what is called "back in the water" from "out of the water".

What a Nice End It is !
tjch10 August 2017
A man comes out of lake, and a woman, who see him at the shore every day, smiles at him. He goes to his office. This is the end of Fish Out of Water. I felt in mind after I watched the short film, "What a nice end it is!" The beginning of the story and the body are made for the conclusion, because there are two conflict in the story for the end. Firstly, city and a boat. The man likes the way to office by using a boat, because he does not like noise, cigarette smell and smoke, and crowds. He use a boat in order to avoid the annoying things, but his commuting changes after a beautiful woman appears. She brings a lot of materials which he does not like in his boat. In other words, he brings bad luck himself. It is irony, but this irony leads to a good ending. Secondly, a woman with brown eyes and a beautiful woman with blue eyes. At first, he chooses the latter woman. He wants her to like him, so he rides his boat with her. However, as I mentioned above, she is unhappiness for him, and he is used by her. Perhaps, most of the audience could feel that he is stupid, and he should have chosen a woman who is the shore of the lake. However, in the end, he realizes it, and he abandons the beautiful woman. Finally, he and the woman with brown eyes can smile at each other. For these reasons, I feel that this movies is a good short movies, and has a beautiful ending. I want to make a good story like Fish Out of Water.

This story is very exciting and funny. This story's situation is innovative. The main character is a man who commutes with a boat in a lake to avoid the rush hour every morning. At first, he enjoys a comfortable time when he goes to the office. However, one day, the time becomes a hard one for him. A woman appears in front of him one morning. He has to commute taking her in his boat. He doesn't feel good, of course. The next day, the woman and a new big man appear. He also takes them on his boat. And, they don't have good manners, so he becomes disgusted. The day after, a new person comes out. Such days repeat in about a week. He feels it is difficult gradually to commute with the boat with strangers. That is because he starts to go to office with the boat to relax. Then, he decides to change the way to commute not to see them. That way is to swim by himself. To change like that, he can have relax times again.

I was very surprising by the unexpected development at the last of this story. I like this film. this film contains element of comedy and love story.

A man goes to his office by rowing the boat to avoid traffic jam and he is satisfied with it. A woman who always fishing in port every morning seems also like his way. One day, his happy commuting is threatened.A beautiful woman asks him to let her on and he was willing to comply with her request. What makes the story even more interesting is that the fishing girl is jealous of a beautiful woman.

Unfortunately, the passengers on his boat increase day by day. The fishing girl come to light up with gloat over his misfortune, in constant to his expression.

Then earth-shattering way occur to him, swimming. At any rate, he thew himself back into comfortable commuting and the fishing girl is also satisfied with.

funny commute
decopon_kobe27 July 2016
The main character goes to his office by rowboat in order to avoid the rush hours. People are irritated by a traffic jam, on the other hand, he is calm because a river doesn't have traffic jam. However, one day, a happening which interferes with his rowing occurs. His comfortable commute starts to be threatened on the day. After due consideration, he tries to commute in another way and keeps his comfortable commute.

The composition of story is easy and clear, so I enjoyed this film while relaxing. Obstacles increase day by day. It makes me thrilled and laugh. The scene that he goes to his office are the same camera works, which helps to impress his grief and fan audience expectations.

The tempo of this film is light and good. We can enjoy expecting net way a story develops. The twist in story made me laugh. This has a funny denouement and conclusion, so I think everyone is entertained.
