Eat Pray Love (2010)
traveling
It is a human drama and romance. I like this story but I think some people do not. Liz is a main character. A lot of people, especially women, can understand Liz's feeling and sympathize with her. She think about her life and her love. After she breaks up with her boyfriend, she decides to start traveling the world. She meets a lot of people and does a lot of things. I think her traveling is very good. A lot of people would like to travel like her when they come up to some problems. However, in the real life, it is difficult. We have to go to school or work and earn money. Therefore I think some audience can't sympathize with the story. If I have a chance to get time and can travel, I want to go travel all over the world like Liz.
Pride & Prejudice (2005)
Beautiful
Before watching this movie, I read the book "Pride and Prejudice." The movie faithfully reflects the book. The movie is beautiful. The landscape is really beautiful and mild. I want to go there. The back music is quiet. The music is a perfect match for the landscape. It is great. The movie shows the audience culture on that time. For example, Elizabeth, a main character, and her family go to the party and dance with men. It looks good and fantastic. Also, Elizabeth's and Darcy's love is impatient. I hope they notice their each feelings quickly. Darcy has pride and Elizabeth has prejudice. His pride and her prejudice interfere with their love. However their love is beautiful. The audience can see their love developing. In the movie, there are a lot of points of seeing. The audience should watch the movie very carefully and find good points.
The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
Great
I like Anne Hathaway, so I think I have to watch this movie. Anne Hathaway is one of the main character, Andy. I like this story and I want to be a woman like Andy. First, the audience can see Andy changing. Andy changes a lot from the beginning to the end. The beginning of the movie, Andy is not beautiful. Her clothes are not good. However she works at fashion journal company, then she becomes more and more beautiful and her fashion is very good. Also her mind changes, too. The audience can enjoy seeing Andy changing. Second, women are great. In the company, every women wears beautiful clothes. They make up and make their hair style beautiful, too. Everyone seem to have prides to work there. Women working there are so cool. When I watched this movie, I would like to work there. Anne Hathaway is so cute. I really enjoyed to watch this movie.
Edward Scissorhands (1990)
I love Edward!
My mother recommended me this movie. The movie is calm all the time. It is a love story and Edward's love is so beautiful. Edward's life is a big wave. The story goes down and up and down again. The beginning and End, he is alone. It means he is loneliness. He looks like people, but he is not real people. I think it is also indicates loneliness. The audience may sympathize with Edward. People live in that city are afraid of Edward although there is no evidence which Edward is dangerous. It is too bad situation. I think this situation sometimes exists in modern society. Johnny Depp acts Edward. He is a very good actor. He acts very well. I like his performance. I think performing Edward is so difficult, because he is an artificial person. I really enjoy watching this movie and the story is a good ending.
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Fantastic
There are a lot of types of the story of Alice today. When I was a child, I watched Alice of animation version. It is really cute. On the other hand, "Alice in Wonderland" is live action movie. The story of this movie is a little different from animation version. I like "Alice in Wonderland" of live action better than animation. I have two reasons. First, the beginning of the movie is so beautiful. Alice goes to the garden party. It looks like English garden. There are a lot of flowers and there is a very beautiful building. Women wear great dress. I really like this scene. Second, characters in the movie are very unique. They are very different from each other and individual. Especially Mad Hatter. My favorite character is Mad Hatter. He is little strange but very kind. Before I watched the movie, I read the book. I think book is more fantastic than movie. Anyway, I like this movie.
Safety Not Guaranteed (2012)
Good
I enjoyed watching this movie. The director of this movie minds small things. There are some good points. First, there are three main reporters in the movie. One of them is a permanent employee and two of them are interns. While they instigate a man, each of them fall in love. Although a girl is a main character, there have each romance story and this movie focuses on each story. And also, main character, a girl, becomes more and more beautiful. For example, at the beginning of the movie, a girl wears a T-shirt and a pair of trousers. At the end of the movie, she wears a dress. Her clothes change well. I enjoyed to find it. Furthermore genre of this movie changes, too. At the beginning of the movie, it is like human drama. It focuses on a girl's life. The middle of the movie, it is romance and mystery. And the end of the movie, it is science fiction. This movie is really technical. I think it is a good movie.
The Lunch Date (1989)
Funny
The movie is a black and white. The story is so simple. Although I could predict the ending in the middle of the film, I enjoyed watching it until the end. Directing the film is good. A main character, an old woman fails four times in the story. When she is confused, she walks in the crowd. No one minds about her. Everyone walk fast to their own way. It is effective. It shows the audience that she is confused seriously and she is lonely. In the middle of movie, she thinks a man eats food which shy buys. She says a complaint to him and she eats it. However, the man says nothing. I wonder why he doesn't say anything to her. He just brings two cups of drink and gives one of them to her. At the end of the film, the old woman and the audience know what has happened. The man is so kind. In the end, everyone becomes happy. And also, I think the woman is cute.
The Last Song (2010)
Girls
The main character of this story is a girl. I think this story indicates girl at puberty very well. A lot of girls may sympathize with main character. Girls at puberty have a lot of troubles. Sometimes they consider about their love, sometimes they consider about their family. The main character of this movie, a girl also think about family and her love. Her father is divorced from her mother. The girl defies her parents. Then, she meets a good boy. However she quarrels with the boy over some problems. I think some girls at puberty defy their parents for a while and some girls quarrel with their boyfriend. This movie indicates girl at puberty very well. A lot of girls' feeling is so dedicate. The audience can see the girl's feeling. I can sympathize with main character. However there is not big wave in the story. Therefore this story may be difficult for some kids.
Porcelain Unicorn (2010)
Beautiful
This movie is good. The story and the image are so beautiful. Before I watch this movie, I wonder what function a unicorn is. I think the unicorn is important, because it connects between a boy and a girl. The girl looks less frightened the boy at first. Then she gives a unicorn to the boy. I think she has communication to the boy by the unicorn. Then, the boy protects the girl from soldiers. It is just my opinion, but I think he falls in love at that time. He doesn't know who the girl is, but he loves her. Although he feels soldiers are scary, he protects her holding the unicorn. It is a movie of a boy's retrospection. After the scene of his youth, the story comes back to his present time. He stands in front of a door holding a box. This action makes the audience imagine what he would like to do. Then he meets an old woman. It is a short movie and a director used the words of character a little, so there is no explanation about this old woman. The audience should imagine again. The director is great to make this film. The audience can't help being attracted to the story.
Billy Elliot (2000)
Good Movie
This movie is about a boy who would like to practice ballet. The audience can learn tree things. First, British social situation. The main character is Billy Elliot. He wants to practice ballet, but to take ballet lessons needs a lot of money. His father doesn't agree with Billy. His father thinks Billy should practice boxing. Billy doesn't want to do it. Also, Billy's landscape is characteristic. In this way, the audience can see the British social system. Second, ballet. Billy's father think ballet is for girls, but actually, ballet needs boys and girls. Ballet duet dance is that boys and girls dance together. Some people don't know about ballet well. Third, family love. After Billy's family agree with Billy dancing ballet, father cooperates with Billy, and helps and cheers up Billy. All members of Billy's family wait for the result. Billy's family really love Billy. It is heartwarming by watching the movie. I think this movie is made very well.
The Mass of Men (2012)
scary
This movie is so scary. I can't watch it all. I watch it without hiding my eyes by my hands. The beginning of the movie, an image of the security camera starts. There is no sound. The audience can't understand what starts. Then, a man's story starts. It is a great cinematic technique. I have never seen such beginning of movies. The audience are interested in the beginning because they don't know about the movie when they just watch the beginning of the movie. The movie attracts a lot of audience. The story goes bad way. The end of the movie, it is really scary. A stranger comes in the company. There is no explanation about the stranger. There is no explanation about the situation, too. The audience should guess the stranger and the situation. The way of making movie is so great but it is really scary.
Enchanted (2007)
favorite
I love Disney princess and I like to watch Disney princess movie. When I see the title, "Enchanted," I really want to watch this movie. So, I lent DVD and watch it. At the beginning of this movie, it is an animation. I was surprise at seeing animation, because I looked at DVD package and I think it is a live-action movie. However the movie is made by animation. Then it turns a live-action movie. In the movie, it sometimes turns animation and then turns live-action movie again. I think it is a great technique. The people in the movie come and go animation world and reality world. Animation characters and actors look like same. It is so great. And also it is a musical movie, so a lot of songs are used and actors dance in the movie. Therefore a lot of viewers can enjoy to watch the movie.
Toy Story (1995)
cute
The movie is so cute. The story is about toys. A lot of people had a lot of toys when they were young or they may still have some toys yet. Also, a lot of children have a lot of toys now. Therefore a lot of people can enjoy watching this movie. Not only children but also adult and elder people are interested in the story. There are always a lot of toys around us, so we don't think about toys a lot. "Toy Story" indicates toys' feeling. If we use our toys rough, toys may be sad. If we cherish our toys, toys may be happy. By watching this movie, the audience can understand about toys. It is good movie. Children in the movie is young, so people who go to kindergarten or elementary school know how to treat their toys by watching the movie. After watching this movie, I love my toys and I notice that it is important for me.
Toy Story 3 (2010)
Toys are important for us.
I watched "Toy Story1" and "Toy Story2," so I think I have to watch "Toy Story3." "Toy Story3" is about toys' story. However the situation is very different from "Toy Story1" and "Toy Story2." Someday people become adult and go to university or work. When they start new life, some people movie their house and start living alone. The time to move their house, they arrange their toys and other things. We can't escape from it. "Toy Story3" indicates toy's feeling at that time. The boy, Andy, who has a lot of toys goes to university and moves his house. He doesn't need toys anymore. Andy is university student, so I think this movie is good for the age more than university student. They can understand the Andy's situation. Of course, it is good for younger children to watch. Everyone should watch this movie and think about their own toys.
Lifted (2006)
Funny
This movie is so interesting. I laughed at the story when I watched it. At the beginning, the music os dark and strange. The scene is dark, too. It looks like a mystery. However, when the next scene starts, it is very funny. The director of this movie knows about audiences. Simply, there are a lot of happenings in the movie, but the happenings are the same. The main character fails again and again and again. It is not persistent. It is very funny. I think the director knows when viewers get tired of seeing same action and what makes viewers happy. At the end of the movie, the main character fails again. Then the movie ends. After finishing the movie, one of the characters screams off-screen. It is ingenious. The content of the story is not deep but it is easy to understand. And also it is a very funny movie, so this movie is good for not only child but also adult.
Otousan no tabako (2007)
Girl's action
This movie goes calmly. There is no big sound, but it attracts the attention of viewers. I think there are two points. First is a cigarette. In the beginning of the movie, a girl goes home with her friends. After saying good bye to her friends, she buys a pack of cigarette secretly. Then a lot of viewers must have a question: who will smoke the cigarettes? After a girl arriving at her house, her mother gets angry to her about buying a pack of cigarettes. However we don't know who use it until the middle of the movie. Some viewers may think a girl smoke it. Second, child's power is so strong. The first half of the movie, a girl is at the mercy of adults: her father, her mother and also cigarette salesman. However the end of the movie, a girl's action makes her father and her mother happy. She can change her parents' feeling. I think a lot of viewers feel pacified.
Three Days in Kamakura (2012)
Great
This movie is a story about the daily life of a man and a woman. Over three days, some things happen to them. An impression of the story from reading the script and from watching the movie is very different. When we read a script, we imagine the screen. On the other hand, when we watch a movie, we can see the scene and situation. In the movie, two main character, a man and a woman change their feeling. A man is so kind and nice but in the middle of the movie, he thinks about abducting the child. He wants to have children, so he would like to kidnap a child of his kindergarten for a while. A woman gets irritated by her neighbor in the beginning but in the end, she is kind to her neighbor. It is a short movie, so I think it is difficult to describe some changes of people's feeling. However in this movie can see it.
Fish Out of Water (2005)
Heart worming story
This short movie is so interesting. I laughed at the way the drama unfolds. Before watching the movie, I expected a story by a title and a setting. However my expectation and the movie are very different. The story gets over my expectation. This movie was made without narration. It is a voiceless movie. Just music is used in the movie. The music is effective. Not only the story but also music make us laugh. The story unfolds so fast, but we can understand easily. The places where the story sets in are not so many. Just three places are used. And also characters are not so many, too, and they are very individual. The story becomes comical and unexpected. At the end of the movie, a small love begins to grow. Then, we can understand a meaning of the movie title. Lastly, our hearts are wormed.
Whacked (1997)
Good
In the beginning of this movie, a lot of people fall down and many ambulances resound with sirens. The audience don't know why it happens. It is a good way to attract the attention of the audience. This movie was made in by black and white, but we can understand the situation which is an emergency. Then the scene changes suddenly. The face of a man slides on full screen. I was surprised at it. It is an impressive scene. The audience can see only his face first, so we don't know what happens. They know that he is uncomfortable. They know what happens gradually. At the end of the movie, unexpected result happens. This movie attracts viewers' attention until the end. The way of making movie is so great. If the audience stops watching the movie, they can't understand the beginning of it and the relationship between the beginning and the end.
Father and Daughter (2000)
Good Movie
The animated movie, "Father and Daughter" is a very simple story, but it can be interpreted in a lot of ways. It was made by animation and music. There is no narration, so music is so important in this movie. Music changes each scene. I think it is indicative of the daughter's feeling. When she is sad, music is dark. When she gets over, music is light. It is interesting and good. Movie viewers should pay attention to not only images but also music. If they forget to listen to music of this movie, they will not think about it. Also, the animation is so great. It is very specific. The weather in this movie and daughter's action are indicated in detail. The animation is not colorful. The basic colors are white and black, but we can imagine the scene. The weather is always not good. It is sometimes windy and rains. I think it is also indicative of daughter's feeling. A key point of this movie is her bicycle. She always rides on her bicycle. In the last scene, she brings down her bicycle. She is tired because of her age and her bicycle is tired, too. This movie is very well made.
