Dream Big: Engineering Our World (2017)
Give us inspiration for engineering and I, as an engineer, was encouraged!
I saw this IMAX movie in California Science Center just 2 years ago, and recently I also saw this movie on Netflix.
First of all, this movie gave me more energy to engineering.
How huge what the engineering made and is going to make is and the contributions of engineering.
It is mainly focused on some kind of architecture or specific project. I'm not a member of these kinds of research areas, but these inspired me so much.
The title "Dream big" seemed to mean the dream to make big things, e.g., big buildings, huge bridge, and so on at first impression. But, I think there are bigger meanings: Dream can make it possible to create a new world we can not imagine now, and we as engineers have to dream big.
When I saw this movie the first time is the sophomore of my university in Japan. Of course, some of you who can use English natively think it as childish because the narration is very easy and might make you sleepy. But the main theme of this movie is more than appearance.
Zombies (2018)
Unexpected good movie
Before I saw this movie, I thought it was a boring movie. But, it is completely wrong!
Although usually movies related to zombies are some kinds of horror movies, this movie is whole different kind of movie and it fascinated me!
Some musical or dances, is feature of Disney Channel Original Movies, in this movies are also very good and musics intrigued me. In particular, "someday" and "my year" become my favorite music.
Before I saw this movie, I don't know Meg Donnelly, but I become one of her funs because of this movie!
If you do not decide whether you see this movie or not, I definitely recommend you to see this movie!
Let It Shine (2012)
It's not bad movie
I like Disney Channel Original movies and I'm huge fun of Disney. As some of you know, this movie is also one of that. However, I don't like it no less than other ones.
First of all, music is good. Like other Disney Channel Original movies, it also contains a lot of music which is likely to make us get the rhythm. And the kinds of music is various. I love these kinds of music. In particular, gospel one is awesome!
Others, story is OK. But, comparing with other Disney Channel Original movies, it is a little emotionless. Of corse, some of other who have already seen doesn't agree with this opinion, but I feel so.
The Age of Adaline (2015)
Beautiful and lovely movie
First of all, this movie was very beautiful in some point, Story, appearance, and so on. Although I got a little confusing about the aspect of SF, but totally I was very content w/ love. As I mentioned above, it has both aspects of SF and romantic, but mainly it is a roman movie. Heroine's emotion was seemed to come out through the screen.
Fast & Furious 7 (2015)
Sky mission
I think this season is the best in this series. In Japanese, this movie is titled "Wild speed Sky mission". After watching this movie, I agree with the reason which this movie is called "sky mission" in spite of car action movie. As this title, action is very brilliant. On the other hand, O'Conner got his son, so he has something to wanna save. This gap is also interesting. What I was disappointed is the story line. I think more clear what and why they do these mission, we can get into the movie world more. Through all the season, O'Conner's posts were very important for these movies. (I was disappointed that O'Conner in this season isn't so.) I like O'Conner very much, so after the next season I can see him. I'm sorry for Paul Walker's loss.
30 Days: Minimum Wage (2005)
Not enough realistic
They can't do real lives of those who gets by on minimum wage completely. There some people who get by on minimum wage with their children. Lives of these people were more severe than this movie. Because of some accidents, lives of the couple in this movie were not easy to live. Therefore, we, viewer, can know how severe to get by on minimum wage is. Of course, this point is important, but I don't think this movie shows real life on minimum wage. In addition, I think there are little thing that they want to show, so I don't understand why they make this documentary movie. The biggest problem in their 30days was the cost of medical care, so the important point in their lives is insurance. Nowadays, also insurance is one of the biggest problem in America, so they should have focused on this problem. If insurance, social service, and social security service are enough, those who get by on minimum wage are OK.
30 Days: Muslims and America (2005)
important movie, but it was boring
It was a little boring movie. This movie is only the movie introducing Muslims life. It is not surprising that Christian lives in Muslims community has some troubles. This movie should focus on non-Muslim American's view to Muslim more. Of course, it is important to know Muslims life, but I want the director to dig down the problem of Muslims in America dipper. The problem is why Muslims are thought as "terrorists" in America, but I can't know the answer. After 9.11, the environment around Muslims become more serious. This situation is not good and I think this situation should be changed. So in this point of understanding Muslims, this movie is a little worth.
Bowling for Columbine (2002)
Good documentary
It was a very impressive movie. It is good point that this movie focused on American gun society. Gun in America become very important problem now, but considering in the fact that when this movie was made is 2002, Moor's point of view is very appreciated. In addition, this movie searches about the problem of gun deeper and explains the problem comprehensibly. (ex. The history of America) The latter is very important for foreigners to watch such documentaries as this. At the latter of this movie, they succeeded something big. It was very important change in America and this succession is the result of this movie. It was awesome. (Of course, those who support gun society didn't think so.) But one point that I was disappointed is this movie is too long. I think this movie can be made in less time. Longer the movie is, more boring we are because density of movie become less. This point is unique to documentary movie. Particularly for me, who watch many movies and American dramas, documentaries are boring as a whole. For the documentary, whose theme is belonging to the real world, it can't be helped. But this documentary is more interesting than other documentaries.
