Featured reviews
We start in languid traffic jam. The road filled by many cars seems very inconvenient. On the other hand, there is a man that commutes by rowboat. A woman that enjoys fishing on the pier smiles at him every day. However, one day the man puts a good-looking woman in the rowboat. After a while, she brings her superior and colleagues. The female angler's face becomes gloomy bit by bit. The man's face becomes exhausted also. Finally, he carries out an unexpected action. The action is an extremely important point of the film. The story proceeds with a lilting tune in the background. Thanks to it, the tempo of the story line is very light. I have a liking for this point very much. I think that this film wants to represent "convenience and freedom". The more people use it, the more it is inconvenient. The filmmakers of the film show narrowness of modern society tactfully.
A man goes to the office by him boat every day. One day, workers get in his boat, and the numbers increase by the day. The time is just 8 minutes, and the tempo is fast, so I can watch it willingly. However this is a silent movie, so it's hard to follow the character's feelings. I didn't get why he can't turn down an offer, and why a woman who is fishing smiles for him.
I think he is great, because he goes his own way even if it takes a lot of trouble. In these days, people tend to seek high convenience, so workers depend on him. But lastly the man doesn't come to the jetty, and they can't go to the office. So I think this movie shows it's necessary to deal with trouble by oneself. We must not depend too much on convenience.

This story is about a man who rides a boat. He picked up some people. The first woman is not a good woman and
?
I like the way the film end. I think the last shot was well-composed, for example, color.
The scene that the old middle-aged man littered on the water disturbed me. I hate this movie because I don't be confused by beautiful women? Don't pick up unknown people?
I suppose the woman was a bad woman because she rides his boat without permission and, she invited her friends(?) without asking.
I am not sure I understood the message. Putting aside the message the movie wants to convey. I think this movie's images are pretty good. I like it. The actress who was the bad woman is really lovely.
Please try to watch it. I could not understand the message of this movie so try to find it.

This is boat story.
I like woman recommended him smoke.
I don't like fat man throw away dust in river.
"Fish out of water"was interesting movie.The characters are funny,played by good actors.But the fat man's act looks bad,because,he threw away garbage in the river. The woman was smoking in the boat.It was dangerous.This movie has three main characters,the rower,a fat man and a beautiful woman. The music is good. A fish appears that,disappointingly,we do not get to see. This movie's dominant yellow,which is too strong. I felt story for the oarsman ,because he has to inhale second-hand smoke in his boat.The main character was good and woman is gorgeous but a cunning women.I think the main character is timid,because he can't refuse the woman and the fat man.He should be brave. If I was in his situation,I would refuse them. This movie seemingly simple,but in fact very complex.

The film is a story about a man who works as a paddler. Every day, he lived a usual life. However, since the day when he met a woman, who was very beautiful and mysterious, his life has greatly changed.
It is the portrait and the background music of this film that I like. Though the film is a nonverbal one, it had me understand the emotions of its characters because of its music and scenes. And, its portrait is so comical that I had a lot of fun while I was watching this film.
However, I couldn't know to the last whether the leading man loved a fishing woman. Perhaps she loves him . But does he feel anything for her? So, in this respect, the film disappointed me. I would like to know what he feels for her.
On the whole, I like this film very much. Its actors and actresses are good performers and its music effectively represents each scene. And this film might make you not only amused but also happy, because it is comparatively peaceful. There are not violence or fearfulness. So, I recommend that you should watch this film. And I would like you to have a good time.
