This is a western film. Recently this film was remade as Japanese western movie. Ken Watanabe stared as Will which Clint Eastwood acted as same character in original version. Actually, this is the first time for me to watch a western movie. I enjoyed watch this film and I think this film is good for people who are less familiar with a western movie such as me because the story is not difficult. However, I didn't emphasize Will's feeling. I think only man can agree with this feeling. I feel this western movie shows man's dream. I was surprised that there were many beautiful landscapes in this film. These landscapes show character's expression. In addition, background music also express character's feeling. I love this film's direction. I recommend you to watch this film from bottom of my heart, especially, people who have never watched a western movie in your life.

The Tree of Life
(2011)
difficult to understand
1 October 2013
Before watching this film, I had no knowledge about this film. To tell the truth, I was disappointed this film because I couldn't enjoy watching this film. It was hard for me to watch this film for about two hours. This film is about family. Actually this film story is very difficult for me. I completely couldn't understand what happens in this story. Through this film, just I got it is Mr. O'Brien stared by Brad Pitt is severe and has a heart of stone. If I have such a father, I can't endure to live together. I certainly run away from home. I completely couldn't understand why he is so cruel. In addition, I couldn't understand what this film expresses us. If you watch this film, I recommend you learn some backgrounds about this film before you watch it. I can't say this film is wonderful and I was impressed.
Once
(I) (2007)
everyone should watch.
1 October 2013
I really enjoyed watching this film. I think this film is a peaceful piece of work. All of songs which played in this film are fantastic. Actually, I wasn't impressed this story. However, I really impressed these songs from the bottom of my heart. These songs are beyond my expectations. After watching this film, I can't get these songs out of my head. These lyrics are wonderful, appeal very strong feeling and express heartrending sorrow about love. Not only songs but also singers' voices are so nice. They have painfully sad singing voice but they also have strong and attractive voice. This story is not full of happiness, it always has something feel sad. However, after watching this film, I feel warm-heart feeling. I really recommend you watch this film from the bottom of my heart. I wonder why this film is not popular in Japan. You should watch this film once, otherwise you will lose something important.
Inception
(2010)
This film is mysterious
1 October 2013
This film is a mystery and adventure movie. Actually, I'm not good at an adventure movie but I'm interested in this film from its trailer. I really enjoy watching this film. I'm really surprised at imaging technique in this film. The world of this film is not real world but it looks like real world. I want to go the world once. I respect Ken Watanabe very much because he participates actively all over the world. He stars in this film as Saito. I think Saito is one of the key person in this story. I feel this story is a little bit complicated for me. Sometimes I was confused which world is the dream or which world is the real. This confuse leads me exciting. I can't stop having the racing pulse while I'm watching this film. The end of this film is also mysterious. I'm really excited watching this film from the top to the end. I recommend you to watch this film.
Enchanted
(2007)
This is the best film ever in my life.
1 October 2013
This film is produced by Disney. This story is like Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. In this film, there are many points which remind us about these Disney animations. Finding these points is very exciting. This movie is mixed live-action, animation and musical. The heroine, Giselle is so cute and she has a pure heart. Amy Adams starring this film as Giselle, is very beautiful. She is like real princess from Disney animation world. Musical songs are also fantastic. These songs cheer me up. This film is love comedy so there are many points which make us funny. Prince Edward has good character. He is very funny. He only has eyes for Giselle and I am impressed his strong heart. This film has exciting points, laughing points, and impressing points. This film is the best film ever in all of the Disney films. I really enjoyed watching this film. I recommend you to watch this from bottom of my heart.
E.T.
(1982)
this film makes everyone's dream come true.
1 October 2013
This film is SF movie. A boy meets an alien- Extra-terrestrial. He tries to it go home. Before I watch this film, I know E.T. as one of character. I though it is a little bit clammy. However, after watching this film, I feel it is an adorable existence. I was impressed this story. Elliott is a warm feeling person. A friendship between Elliott and E.T. is very nice. I think this story is good anywhere in this era and the production of this film is a masterly. Therefore, I can't believe that this film was made over 30 years ago. This story never happens in this real world. This story has many dreams that people go to universe in the future and meet extra-terrestrials for most of history. Everyone never gives up coming true this dream. This film makes everyone's dream happen. I highly recommend you to watch this film.
The Social Network
(2010)
I learned many things from this film.
1 October 2013
This film is about Mark Zuckerberg creates Facebook and how to make Facebook. Before watching this film, I've never known about him. After watching this film, I'm not impressed by him. However, I really respect him because he made the most wonderful website in the world. I think everyone watches this movie won't have good impression of him because this film makes him bad man. I don't know what is fact and what is a fiction in this film. However from the directorial technique of this film, everything looks like fact. I think actors in this film are very nice. I really think Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg and I dislike him from bottom of my heart in the scene he gets on girl's bad side. From this film I learned that importance of decision and awfulness of desire. I think Mark mistook what he chooses because he wants to make Facebook cool more and more. This film makes us think importance of decision and awfulness of desire.
Embers

I don't like it.
1 October 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This film is made in New Zealand. The era is set just after World War Two. A woman is waiting her husband's return. She worries about his life. On the other hand, many people celebrate and rejoice their win. One day, she has a nightmare which her husband is about to be killed by a Japanese soldier. She has the nightmare again and again. Finally, her husband returns with a Japanese soldier's ear. After this, her nightmare change. I don't like that this film makes fun of Japan. Of course what Japan did in the World War Two is not good. However, in this film, there are many nature of New Zealand. It is very beautiful. The background music shows a woman's feeling clearly especially the scene of the woman is waiting her husband, it shows her worry. I like these points. Through this film, we learn cruelness of the war. We must not do war again.
Father and Daughter
(2000)
This film shows family ties.
1 October 2013
This is a cartoon. One day father and daughter go for a bike ride along the river. The daughter is very little. suddenly father stop to ride a bike and go to the river. He disappears in river by boat in front of daughter. Daughter goes home to tell this story. She goes there to wait her father return day after day. She never gives up going there even if it rains and snows. She never gives up meeting him again after she becomes an elder lady. In this cartoon, there are no dialog. Thanks to the background music, we can fell many things without dialog. From this cartoon, I found the importance of background music. This music tells us the daughter's feeling very much. This music is not lively music. this is slow tempo so it makes us sad. In addition, this cartoon's drawing is painted with soft brushwork and atmosphere is very warm so it also makes us sad. This cartoon shows us a family ties. If you will watch this cartoon you might be touched.
Three Days in Kamakura
(2012)
A little bit difficult for me
1 October 2013
This story is set in Kamakura and based on a couple's life. The relationship between the couple is not good. One day a boy comes to their house and stays a few days. He changes their relationship. This movie has a calm atmosphere. This movie contrasts the woman's feelings with children's innocence. The most memorable scene in this movie is that children sing a song which is about religion and at that time the woman is on a balcony staring abstractedly far away. This scene moved me very much. In addition, I think the weather has an important role in this movie. The weather expresses her feeling very much. For me, it is a little bit difficult to understand the movie's real meaning but I learned what is true love through this movie. I think ten years later or more, I can finally understand from the bottom of my heart what this movie tells us. I would like to watch the movie again after I get married.
The King's Speech
(2010)
This is the best movie
1 October 2013
This story based on a man becoming King George Ⅵ of the UK. From this film we can learn the history of the UK. He has difficulty to speak in front of many people so he trains how to speak. The way to practice is very unique, funny and stupid. King George Ⅵ has big pride so he is above practice speaking in such a stupid way. During establishing a relationship of trust between him and his speaking teacher, he can speak and he can swallow his stubborn pride. This film is a bit serious but thanks to funny training scene this film is not so heavy. I cannot stop laughing when I watch funny practice scene. I love costumes of this film. These costumes have a meticulous attention to detail so these are very gorgeous and beautiful. Ironically, the end of this film is a speech of the starting WWⅡ. I feel complicate of this end. However, I like this film and I recommend you to watch this film.
The Artist
(I) (2011)
I really recommend you watch
1 October 2013
This film is a silent and black-and-white movie. This story is love story. Of course, there are no lines, however, instead of using lines there are much background music. Those music are very nice, I'm deeply moved those. Thanks to a lot of background music, we can feel character's affections. Moreover, even if there is no color, we can feel color through background music and cast's expressions. Those music and expressions show very sensitive feelings. I think those are the special aspect of silent and black-and -white movie. Though cast's acting is awesome, I think the best actor in this film is a dog. I'm really surprised it because it's really look like human actor. I can't call the dog as It, I should call the dog, He. I've never watch such a good dog actor in my life. I think this film is a surely cinematic masterpiece. Everyone should see this film.
Fish Out of Water
(2005)
This film is fun.
1 October 2013
This story is a comedy. A man uses a boat to go to his company. One day a lady fascinates him and asks him to take her with him by his boat. He agrees and they go to their company by boat. After this, something unexpected for him happens. In this movie, there is no dialog however we can understand what they want to say from background music and actors expression. I think this is the typical style of comedy. He is very kind so he can't refuse her favor. He is also considerate. There are many people like him so many people who watch this movie experience empathy with him. Therefore his final act which nobody expects not only takes us by surprise but also makes him seem miserable. From this movie we can learn the importance of how to contact with others. I recommend you watch this movie.
The Lunch Date
(1989)
Hear-warming story.
1 October 2013
This movie is a comedy. An elder lady is in a station. She gets into a tangle with someone so that she misses a train. She decides to have lunch at a restaurant in the station because there is much time to get on the next train. She buys a salad and sits on a seat but there is no fork so she leaves the seat. When she comes back to her seat, a man is sitting on the seat and eating her salad. From that, the lunch date starts. It is very fun. A scramble to get the salad between the man and the elderly woman is a laughable scene and a warm scene of humor. The sound effects of eating salad are also funny. It evokes laughter. The elder lady is cute, especially I like her surprising face. At first, the elder lady looks strict. However, gradually her face becomes soft and looks tender from the man's kindness. This movie is funny as well as heart-warming.
Gasman
(1997)
this story is difficult for me.
1 October 2013
This film is set on Christmas Day. A girl and a boy go to a Christmas party with their father. On the way to the party, they meet a girl and boy and they go to the party together. During the party, the daughter notices that the girl sits on her father's knee. They start a scramble for her father. Actually, this film is a little difficult for me to understand what the director wants to express through this story. After watching this, there is something uncomfortable in my heart. I couldn't understand what the end of this film says. I am wondering about the relationship between this story and the title of this film. I like a landscape of this film especially a scene which they are walking on a rail way is very nice. Nowadays, it is rare to watch such a landscape in Tokyo. In addition, I like the scene which children are enjoying the party because it is very practical. There are many fights among boys and children enjoy the party from bottom of their heart. This film makes us consider a lot.
Knick Knack
(1989)
This is very fun.
1 October 2013
This animation film is a comedy and produced by Pixar. A snowman in a snow globe falls in love with a sexy woman at once. He tries to talk with her but he is in the snow globe and she is outside of the snow globe. He tries to go out in one way or another but it is very difficult. However he never gives up. This animation is so cute and looks like the "Toy Story". I like this film very much. The background music is so nice. It is very pop and rhythmical so we feel fun. Though this situation is a fiction and stupid, like this situation often happens in the real world between boy and girl so it is very funny. The background music also shows stupid. My favorite scene is the end of this film. This film takes only a few minutes but I really enjoyed watching this animation. This film makes us happy. I think this film is awesome.
Whacked
(II) (1998)
this is cruel movie
1 October 2013
This movie is supposedly a comedy but I think this is a cruel movie. The story starts from many people suddenly falling over. The scene changes. A man works in a golf driving range as a person picking up many balls. During this, many balls hit his machine. One day, he finishes his job and he goes to a roof terrace to play golf. And he hits a ball. This movie's end is so full of barbarity that I can't understand it. Even if this is comedy, I can't laugh so much. However, I like this movie's construction. At first, I couldn't understand what happened for people. I was shocked at the beginning and gradually I became curious at the end. I couldn't stop watching. I think this movie's production works effectively. For example, the wail of the siren encourages fear for us. In addition, there is a contrast of one man's delight and people's fear. I think this movie is a little bit mysterious.
The Crush
(I) (2010)
The boy is cute.
1 October 2013
This film is a kind of love story. A boy loves his teacher. He makes a marriage proposal to her. However he meets her and her fiancé. He is shocked but he never gives up and asks her fiancé to fight. Even if the main actor is a little boy, this film is very serious because his love for the teacher is not a joke. I was impressed by his childlike innocence but through this film, he looks like a reliable man. I can't believe he is just a little boy because his decision to protect her is very strong. I like his eye when he looks in his father's closet. It is very scared and makes us feel something will happen. I was surprised that the boy's acting skill is very high. Without saying lines, we can feel his feeling because his expression is very nice and it tells us his feeling. From this film, we can learn what is a true love.
Geri's Game
(1997)
the animation techenology is very high.
1 October 2013
This animation film is produced by Pixar studios. An elder man plays chess. However there is no opponent. He plays chess by himself and he changes his character. One is very quiet and cowardly, another is confident in himself and plays chess provocatively. At the beginning, he seems to be lonely because there is no one around him, in this place he is alone. On the other hand, he really enjoys playing chess so gradually loneliness will disappear. There is no dialogue but it isn't needed. Without lines we can enjoy this movie. This is an animation but it shows many expressions like really human. In the course of watching, I misunderstand there are two elder man. Through this animation film, I rediscover that the animation technology of Pixar is very high. The animation technology is shown up not only in the elder man's expression but also in the background landscape. The landscape is so beautiful and it looks like a picture. I think everyone should watch this film once.
Lifted
(2006)
Alien is cute
1 October 2013
This animation movie is produced by Pixar. One night, an unidentified flying object comes to a house. In the house, a man is sleeping. He doesn't notice what has happened to him because he falls into deep sleep. In the unidentified flying object, an alien is taking exam to take a man for it from his house by using magical power. But he makes mistakes again and again because there are many buttons to operate. This animation is very funny. At the first scene, the background music is very rhythmical but calm so it seems some romantic story begins. However, this story is not romantic. Moreover, it is very difficult to make a prediction of the ending. The ending is also funny. I like the alien. In my image, alien is grotesque but this alien is very cute and has a good character. This alien is impossible to hate. Without thinking is the best way to enjoy this film. I think this film is made for everyone to laugh.
Paperman
(2012)
true love story
1 October 2013
This animation film is produced by Walt Disney studio. A man holding paper falls in love at first sight with beautiful woman at a station. However, she disappears from in front of him all of sudden. In his office, he happens to find her across the street of his office building. He tries to make her notice the existence of him by using paper planes. I like this film very much. There are no lines and no color but thanks to those things, I really feel the man's affections. I am impressed by his fervent spirit for her. At the beginning of this story, he seems not to be reliable but through this story he appears to be reliable. The man is very cool. I think this is a true love story. Having such a feeling is very difficult but I think this is very important feeling. This film tells us what is love of another person
