The Monk and a Fish Animation.

I have seen this animation for the first time about a year ago, and ever since I have been captivated by its qualities, so I decided to post it over here for everyone who yet didn’t have the pleasure.
To say the truth, I don’t think I completely understand it but at the same moment I think this quality is a positive one because exactly this makes me come back and watch it again with the same enjoyment. I can only speculate about it and I am not sure whether this is wise. The initial conflict is apparent, as the monk wants desperately wants to catch the fish, but fails as he employs wrong technique. In this particular case one can imagine several symbolic meanings among which ii find most interesting this one: It is to do with the search of an individual for some sort of truth (Directly this is displayed in the fact that the character is a monk and as I would expect, he is searching for God), but as he is constantly locked in an aggressive attempt to capture it, he fails miserably. Towards the end of the animation, he develops a whole different approach, and that is when his search comes to an end.
An amazing soundtrack, in a matter of seconds transfers the viewer to a simpler time, to a quiet and idyllic place where sunlight and birds wake you up in the morning. The soundtrack is synchronised with the movement which provokes a feeling of weightlessness, as every movement is so gracious.
As I understand watercolours were used extensively through the manufacture of this animation, and this medium has amazing combination of qualities that make this work even more tranquil.
