I haven't watched this standalone movie on One Piece, as I read through your article I think the creators of this film have seriously put an effort to maintain the essence of the manga

Well I’m not aware of a movie based on it. But this is about the live action TV series on Netflix. So if you think it sounds like it kept the essence, I’m glad you think so. Feel free to let me know what you think if you do watch it.

Because traditionally pirates didn't have that hierarchical thing - it was outside monarchy and that type of milieu.

Even though you may be doing a service or providing a service.

If you were recognised as a pirate it was really to do with style.

Sometimes it's the "simple" and "unimportant" dreams - the mundane - which DO have a great deal of power.

I definitely believe in dreams in the daytime.

That ONE PIECE - it's what draws people to shipwrecks and to dark tourism.

[For a bit more about some aspects of Dark Tourism - PHILOSOPHER'S ZONE].

Just listened to an awesome podcast about moral development through the world of Jerry Maguire. It is on POP CULTURE PARENTING.

So I think about rewards; punishments; community recognition.

And the quest thing - this is SO LORD OF THE RINGS

[especially the teamwork - the reluctant teamworkers like Frodo and Bilbo - for different reasons].

And recognising intent [doing your best].

About dreams being supported or not by the people most immediately around you - a show called THIS TOWN [Stephen Knight] exemplifies this for me.

Eventually Dante draws in his brother and his father - his girlfriend; the record store merchant; his cousin and also a drummer.

More dreaming and more workable dreams!
