La belle et la bête (2014)
Rose are beautiful
I'd never seen Disney film version, but I was interested in this story, so I watched it. I was impressed by its beautiful images. I went to a movie theater two times. The reason is that this movie was made in French, so I was busy to look the subtitles at first I watched it. I couldn't' t help gazing beautiful costumes which Belle dress in. In this film, rose is the important thing. Beast and Belle's father meeting is caused by a red rose. Also, Beast's house is covered by huge amounts of rose. The depiction is amazing.Also, Lea Seydoux plays Belle and her eyes show off her grittiness very well.
The beast is scarring, but he is sexy. He is like a Phantom who is a main character of the Phantom of the opera.
The Hunger Games (2012)
This series are wonderful.
I didn't think Katniss Everdeen is beautiful at first. She is like a Asian girl, so I thought she was exotic. The set of this film is fiction and the situation will never happen to us, but the society in this film is too scared. I'm not sure, but its model may be a colony of western country or USA. However, there is a completely different point. The colonial was not white people, but people who live in Panem is white people, so this is includes irony, I think. I sad Katniss Everdeen is not so beautiful, but as the story progress, I think she has a brave heart and is cool person.
Most of fighting scene is grotesque, but a triangular relationship between Katniss,Peter and Gale is pure, so don't miss it.
Pitch Perfect (2012)
This is so fun movie.
This movie is so fun and lets us remember our youth. Especially, I love singing, so I listen to the soundtrack a lot of times. I'm Japanese, so I don't know much about what is the young in America and their school life, so I can learn those things from this movie. Off course, I don't have much knowledge about American music, so when I watched this movie. I didn't understand which song was old or how famous song it was. However, characters in this film do excellent and energetic performance, so foreigners can enjoy all the time, I think.
Also, riff-off is a must-see. There is it in the middle of this film, all singers are so sexy and they sing very famous song, so I sang to myself. Main characters have a great individuality and you will also enjoy their joke and dialogues.
If you watch this film, you will understand why it became so popular and be loved by people whole world.
Cold Mountain (2003)
This is beautiful story.
This is painful but beautiful story. I had watched several movies which are connected with war. However, I watched the film which subject was a man who was a another fear which was different fro other normal war film.
In man makes enemies of everyone but Ada and quite a few people. I trembled to think how it would end. I think most people will watch this film as Inman and Ada side, so you will afraid of enemies you can't see.
In addition, I was impressed by pure romance between Ada and Inman. Their eyes which gaze at each other are enthusiastic but sad. I felt this is the true love. Also, friendship between Ada and Ruby is energetic and gives a power for us. I felt strength of women.
Up (2009)
The title is too short!
First, I was surprised at the title of this film. In Japan, the title is "Old Carl and a house which flies in the sky", so I thought "Up" was too short.
anyway, the story describes isolation which characters in this film have very well. Carl lost his beloved wife. They have no child, so he starts to live alone. Russell feels a gap between he and his father so he feels lonely. Charles Muntz is a villain of this film, but he is unfortunate circumstance. He was denied his opinion by everyone and people who praised him fell away from him when he was young, so he becomes a person who can't believe anyone bu his dogs. These situation can occur around us, so I think this story is not only fantasy but also human story. Friendship beyond the age and the species impresses viewers. Also the scene which Carl's house flying with colorful balloons in the sky is one of the best part of it.
Roman Holiday (1953)
Audrey Hepburn is so cute.
When I watched Audrey Hepburn wore in a dress, I couldn't help thinking she was like a fairy. Her elegant appearance attracted me. I'm Japanese, so it is difficult for me to judge an acting ability of foreign actors and actresses, but her acting is so charming and it made her popular in Japan, I think.
And I surprised at her short hair style, maybe no one but her suits he style. Her fashion was also fresh. I love a classic movie, so I have watched lots of films, but there is no heroine like Audrey Hepburn. Those things are reasons why she is so popular and still be called "fashion icon" now, I think.
Off course, the story of this film lets me feel painful, but very good. Performance of the eyes of Gregory Peck is masterly. Love romance between Princess Anne and Joe is very pure and beautiful. Various tourist attraction spots like "the mouth of Truth" supports this movie. I would like to visit Rome and trace the locus of them.
The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
I love the story
This is one of my favorite story. Phantom has an ugly face but his dangerous atmosphere makes my heart throbs. His sexy and sad voice is also impressive. when I watched it for the first time, I was third grade, so I couldn't understand why Christine didn't deny the love of the Phantom. However, I can understand her attitude now. Also, every song which is sung by casts is attractive, so I listen them many times. Especially, I love "All I Ask of You" and " Think of Me". "Masquerade" is sung by all casts, so the scene is very gorgeous. You must check it too.
The ending is not happy for every one, but it i a good point of this story. There is no perfect ending which all characters become to feel happy, I think. Before I watched this film, I didn't like a sad story, but I could understand a strong impression which comes from painfulness because of this one.
In addition, a musical of the Phantom of the Opera also powerful and wonderful, I want you to compare with the film.
Enchanted (2007)
This film makes me happy.
I watched this film for the first time when I was sixth grade. Iwas excited about this true love story, songs and the cuteness of Giselle, so I watched it three times. Tobe honest, I thought Amy Adams was little bit old for a princess at first, because she was in thirties then. She wears a youthful wedding dress at the beginning. However, as the story progress, I was fascinated by her beautiful voice and smile, so I love Giselle and Amy Adams now.
Patrick Dempsey plays a square and realistic lawyer Robert. James Marsden plays an insensible but pure prince Edward. all casts fit their roles, so I can't come up with other casting. I heard that a sequel of this movie would be made, so I look forward to watch it.
When I watch the singing scene in this, I can be happy and want to sing like Giselle. Thus, the film will make you begin to feel cheerful. Off course, the true love story lets your heart skip a beat, so please check it out.
Pride (2014)
I could learn a lot of things.
I learned great deal from this film, because there are many kinds of descriptions and discrimination. Those are against LGBT, worker class, women and Wales. Mark who is a gay right activist gathers his boyfriend and friends to start to fund-raising activity for coral miners and their family. In that day, coal miners in UK go on strike in opposition to Defict coal mine closure pan. Government and police take strict reaction to them. Mark feels that LGBT has experienced such reaction and discrimination, so now it's time to save them who suffer from same problem. He gets LGSM (Lesbian and Gays Support the Minors) and gives the donation directly to Onllwyn where is a small mining village in Wales. Most people in there hate LGSM and try to deny their support, Mark never gives up I was impressed by his positive attitude. He try to call for people's understanding when they shout abuse at LGSM. They experience various accidents after then, but their mental-mindedness affects the society. I admire LGSM.
Wreck-It Ralph (2012)
Wonderful
I've never seen such a film which script is wonderful in Disney films. Wreck-It Ralph plays a villain in "Fix-it Felix", so most residents in the game hate him, but actually, he is a good man and wants to get along with them. Also, he wants to be a hero like Fix-it Felix Jr, so he can not be convinced by his situation. So, he always has an emotional turmoil. Not only Ralph but also every character have a problem , so we can empathize with everyone, even if he/she is a real villain.
Afetr I watched this film, I felt warring emotions which characters in it have reflects the actual world. For example, discrimination against the weak or changes of fashion occurs around us. therefore I felt painful some times.
In addition, this film tells us the importance to be ourselves. The import of it is very deep.Pease check it once.
Safety Not Guaranteed (2012)
The ending is funny.
This is a fun and a strange film. Darius who serves her internship at a Seattle magazine office meets Kenneth who puts an advertisement in a news paper. He believes he can do time traveling, so he searches for someone who will do the challenge with him. He becomes sick of his life and wants to change it through time traveling to 2001. At first, Darius gets close to him to write an article, but she also regrets what she did before, so she gets sympathizing with him.
Darius and Kenneth seem eccentric and dark persons foe people around them in the beginning. However, they regain the brightness because of each other.
I thought this is not a bright film at first, but actually, my heart got warm and I enjoyed it in the end. There are some uncertain things, so I said this is a strange film, but I like this.
The Lunch Date (1989)
I like the charming lady and the kind man.
This story made me feel warm inside, because the main character is very charming and a man who meets her(the main character) in a restaurant has a broad-mindedness.
I thought she meets with a lot of accidents. Those scenes are enjoyable, but you can feel ore interest in the ending.
However, there is a point which I don't know. It is the period of this film. Peple use a train and its design is not too old, so I thought the period was 1970s or 1980s at first. But this is black and white film and the definition is low, so I can't define it.
When I heard this title, I imaged the story of a young boy and a girl. So I was surprised at this setting and a woman who is the main character is not young, but as I said before, she is very cute and her gesture is very comical, so I can enjoy it very much.
Three Days in Kamakura (2012)
Heartful story
To be honest, my image of main characters are a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Therefore I was so surprised at the film, but actually I identified with them. This is because their appearances are not far from reality. Perhaps, my opinion is seemed to be rude, but any way, I like this film.
It is difficult for producers to tell us a change of a main character in short film, I think. The running time is limited, so development of this film is also fast. However, I could understand the change between David and Keiko, so I as moved by this film. I think you can feel family love and want to say to someone, "I love you. You are an important person for us."
I watched this film three times. It's not surprising that repeating a film makes it easier to understand , but I recommend watching it two or three times.
Otousan no tabako (2007)
The Errand
A little girl buys a pack of cigarettes for her father who has an illness and can't buy it himself. I don't know whether she should stops to do that or not. Because if she neglects his desire, he will lose his power for living. One day an accident occurs, so she can't buy it for him and she is busily engaged in collecting cigarettes. The sequence is very unusual but her efforts makes me feel painful.
As a whole, this movie was dark and mysterious, but I considered a lot of things after I watched it. For example, if my family catch a disease and there is no way to recover, I will agonize over whether I try to prolong their lives.
I can't understand the end of the movie. It can be interpreted in various ways. I would like to know everyone's interpretations.
Knick Knack (1989)
Knick Knack
I watched this movie 2 times. The first time was at a Pixar Exhibitions and visitors enjoyed it.. The second time was at a class in University. I hadn't though much about a structure of this movie at the exhibitions. But it was also fun that I watched it again after I learned the structure.
The main character who is a figure of a snowmen is locked in a snow dome. He didn't care about this situation before he meets a sexy girl who is outside the snow dome. However, he wants to go out from there for the first time, so he tries to undertake a lot of actions to achieve his goal. he is very cute when he fails in his escape.
This animation was made before the release of Toy Story, so the motion of characters is not smooth, but every character has individuality and they are pretty. It is difficult for us to understand a structure of a feature film, but this is short film, so we can learn it easier.
Whacked (1998)
I could't think this is a comedy film.
When I watched the beginning of this film, I thought that pedestrians who fell down suddenly, were shot by someone. That scene seemed like terrorism. Therefore I couldn't understand the connection between the beginning and the middle of this film. At a driving range, many people hit balls against a man who collects balls by riding a recovery vehicle to release their stress. That vicious circle can made people do some crazy things. The act he carries out is not a good thing, but society should be responsible for him, I think. I am a Japanese, so my point of laugh is little bit different from that of foreigners. However, I want to understand it.
Father and Daughter (2000)
Descriptions are wonderful.
*Spollers
I t was a painful to watch the daughter who waits for her lovely father. I think she knows that her father has died, but she longs for his love her entire life, so she can't give up on his return. In Japan, there is a thinking of the River of Three Crossings, so the sea on which her father rows a boat is may be a bridge between life and death. Also, the bicycle which she uses plays an important role in this film. In my opinion, it expresses the daughter herself. When she visits to the shore, she always rides a bicycle. Peole who cross the shore don't stop and keep pedaling a bicycle except her.That depiction also made me feel pained. I was surprised that the distance for the shore gets gentle as time goes by. In a review which another person wrote before, the depiction expresses that she accepts her father's death step by step. Those elaborate descriptions are wonderful. To sum up, it is difficult for us to understand this story perfectly, so we should watch this film a few times.
