The Tree of Life (2011)
The feelings of parents
There is a family and they live happily. One day, one of the sons passes away. Parents and brother regret. The brother calls his father and apologizes to him. Then reminiscence of the family starts from parents marriage. The reminiscence includes pictures of Mother Nature. The father is so strict, therefore his children do not laugh in front of him.
I was surprised because father said to his children they must not become person like their father. He treats his children strictly because of his kindness for his children. However, his children resist him. Their mother treats her children tenderly, but they oppose her too. It is natural that children defy their parents. I resisted my parents too when I was young. However, I can understand feelings of my parents for me now. Therefore I think that I want their to understand feelings of their parents and I felt sad. This story is very difficult for me and I could not understand well. I want to know what this film wants to tell me.
The King's Speech (2010)
A Great King
This is story about George Ⅵ. He has a stammer and has been troubled since he was a child. Therefore he doesn't want to be the king. However, he has to be the king because his brother withdraws the crown. Then he begins to train for speech with Lionel who doesn't have a medical license.
The scene which they practice is so funny. I laughed out loud. The method of training is unique and it is amusing the attitude of Lionel that doesn't flinch at the king. His wife, the queen, is strong. I think just she is the wife of the king. He is lucky that has marvelous wife. Certainly, king have to be perfect man. Because king is object of worship of the nation. However, even king may have shortcoming. Of course, it is common people have fault. But it is hard for a king of a nation. The king of the film is great and the nation will be sure to love him even if he has a stammer.
This film's time is World War Ⅱ. Therefore I could watch the story during the war in detail. It is also interesting for me.
El secreto de sus ojos (2009)
The secret

Although other group arrests the criminals, they are fabrication.Then he and she begin to investigate real criminal. Although they can find the real criminal
I think that the scene which Irene drives the criminal is cool. She is strong and beautiful woman. I do not know that they fall in love each other, however, I want to know their story more. The incident is solved easily than I expected. But the end of the story, I was shocked. I do not know that "that" is right, however, I cannot contradict.
It is difficult problem whether criminal who is arrested once is released or not. I think that if criminal has high skill, we must not release him. Also, the problem whether the death penalty is allowed or not is difficult. I felt that form this film.
The Sixth Sense (1999)
The capacity for ghosts
A man, Malcolm works as a psychologist. One day, he mets a boy, Cole who has a lot of troubles. He is treated as odd by everyone of school. In fact, he can see ghosts. Malcolm comes to believe him and says to him, "The ghosts expect your help."
I cannot tell people "I can see ghosts!". Because people do not surely believe me and I am looked by strange look. Therefore it is hard for such a child, Cole. Cole expressed sadness well, so I was painful to watch.
I like horror movies very much. I have watched the movies which ghosts attack people or have hate, therefore this film is fresh for me because they think that the ghosts ask help. I feel good that they told the truth of a dead girl. I imagine that the girl is surely happy. The capacity of Cole is not monster, but the capacity which he can save everyone from suffering. And there are no ends that I was shocked about this end.
The Social Network (2010)

This is a story that a boy who is a student of Harvard. He makes the famous SNS, Facebook, in spite of his age. He clashes with his company, however, he continues to create. His awesomeness starts from the incident that he is dumped by his girlfriend. I think it is certainly not good to rank girls, however, I was surprised that he hack the date easily. He is so smart. I wonder that why he hits on a lot of ideas and system. I think producing something new is wonderful. He is strong because he doesn't flinch and resists to adults. The adults don't like him, however, they accept his ability. He is too greedy. Therefore he comes to be lonely. I felt sad. But I like the end and I could seem that he is a young student then.
I am lucky that I watched this film now. He is a same student of college as me. He does not only study, but also he challenges to do something new. I think that my school life is not active. He looked like happy. I try to do my best for realization of my goal too.

A boy sits on a seat at the quiz millionaire program. The boy's name is Jamal and he is from a slum, Mumbai. He should not know the answer, however, he answers correctly one after another. Therefore he is suspected and interrogated by police. Then he talks why he could answer correctly.
The form that he looks back on the past while he answer the quiz is interesting. I could understand one by one why he could solve the questions. I watched this when I was 14 years old and I could understand better this time because I had studied world history. I knew the fear of religious issue again. I was shocked that police didn't listen to their request. I also was scared to watch the scene that men flooded. I felt sad when I imaged that there are tourists who enjoy their trip, whereas there are such children. Even if he is tear with a woman who he love, Rathika, he never gives up and goes after her. Jamal is cool and beautiful very much. Incidentally, I like Jamal's brother, Salim.

The husband comes to like Babe and he tries to take part in sheepdog contest with Babe. Of course, everyone make a fool of them, but the husband believes Babe's ability.
I love pig! Their bottom is cute! I felt interesting that a human and a pig feel their destiny. The combination that a pig and a dog, or a pig and a duck is amusing. The animals get terrified that they are eaten by farmers. Certainly, eating is killing for animals. I got to feel that that action is cruel. Babe is a obedient and good pig, therefore everyone come to love him. His character is wonderful. The husband is also nice because he cheers Babe hard. I could know that how he cherishes his animals. This is a heart warming story. You can have happy feelings.

In 2009, a high school girl and chef meet on a ship. The ship is seajacked. In 2012, the limit of earth is 5 hours because of a comet. At a music shop, 2 men listen to Fish Story.
I am a fan of the original author of this film. I like coincidence which he writes. I had read the original book once before I watched the film. The story crosses several date. Therefore film is easier to understand than book. I was caught up in the scene which the story was related to the end. I could clear my head. The song, " if my loneliness is a fish
", is not far from my head. I think that the author is good at writing daily lives. I recommend everyone to watch the other films of the writer.
Life of Pi (2012)
Life of Pi
I had wanted to watch this film since before because the subtitle was interesting for me. The leading character is a boy, Pi. He holds strong faith and he wants to be friend of a Lion, Richard Parker. However, his father does not admit his thought and he teaches that human and tiger cannot become friends each other. One day, his family have an accident while they sail. Only he survives with Richard Parker.
The graphics in this film is beautiful very much. I was overwhelmed by the scene of a whale and island. This story was different with my expectation, therefore, the development was surprising for me. I felt that I wanted to know how did Richard Parker think to Pi. I want everyone to watch this film. Some people write say that the original writes scene which the movie does not write. Therefore I should also read the original.

Preciousness of living
One day, suddenly a strange illness emerges in the world. When people have this illness, they feel sad and lose their sense of smell. Then they lose their sense of taste and hearing one after another. In the world, there is a couple.
At first, I thought that this sickness was small, however, I felt horrible to watch the scene that people came to go mad. The town also came to break. However, people are strong. When they lose their sense of smell, they tries to cook dinner for such people. And they find new amusement from eating. I think that people can live strongly, even if they get into a difficult situation. I think that the sense of smell is not important, however, it is necessary to remember our memory.
The couple looked like happy so much in spite of disappointment situation. I was impressive their figure.This film tells us preciousness of living.
Knick Knack (1989)
A Cute Snowman
It is a very very very cute story! I felt immediately that I like the atmosphere of the film. Ornaments sway happily on a shelf. It is funny that all of the ornaments wear sunglasses. Next to them, there is a snowman in a knick-knack. He is tempted by a attractive woman and he tries to go to her. However, he have to break the glass because he is in the knick-knack. Therefore, he attempts to crash by various tools. The means is so unique. I wonder where he take the tools from.
His face's parts sometimes are ruined. I laughed. He seems to be all right even if his face's parts are spoiled. Also, it is funny that he tries to approach her hard despite he is a snowman. I was pleased with the sound effects of the film because they are light and pretty. I like especially the sound inside water. I think that the combination of the snowman and water is strange. The color usage is so nice and this film is just like Pixar. I will tell my friend who likes Pixar movies about this film.
Three Days in Kamakura (2012)
Husband and Wife in Kamakura

They also seem to have trouble with their neighborhood and their marital relationships is not good. The husband works at an English conversation school as a teacher. One day, a mother of a boy does not show up. Since he has no choice, he brings the boy to his home.
This is a bit painful film. Although the husband tries to cheer his wife up, his wife does not look happy. I felt sad that I watched his effort for her. I worried whether they would get along with each other. I want to know how did they meet? or why did they get married?
The actress whose role is wife and the actor whose role is husband have skill to express their feelings. I could sense their sadness well.
Gasman (1997)
This is fairly serious
A girl and her brother get dressed up and go out with their father. On the way, they meet a woman, a girl and a boy. They look like the same age with the brother. Two girls, two boys and their father go to a Christmas party. The girl looks happy, however, she sees the girl who she met a while ago is on the lap of her own father. She is angry. Probably, they are half brothers. However, the children are good friends.
This is a fairly serious story for me. I don't understand why their mother and father take them to the party together. I think that it is not good that a half-brother and half-sister met each other when they are children. The scene of the railroad track where father and his divorced wife talk is deeply impressive. I feel sorrowful because the season of winter is added to the scene. However, the girls are very cute. The blonde hair and the dress are charming. The party looks lively and happy, therefore I want to join such a party. I like the party scene.
Whacked (1998)
His Bold Action
This film begins from a strange scene. You will not be able to understand the story. At first, I thought " Is this film horror or SF?", but this is a short comedy film. So at the end of the story, you can understand and laugh!
This is a story about a dowdy man and his life seems to be not good. This film is black-and-white, which emphasizes his dowdy life. I think that he doesn't get good treatment at his work place. He is threw balls by golfers and always frowns. I feel that he is poor. So maybe, "that" is his diversion, because as soon as he starts that, he looks happy very much. Though I watched the scene that he works, I can't imagine the ending. So I was surprised. I think that he does serious action because even ambulance comes. Nobody imagines that he does such bold action. You should watch this film too, it will clear your head.
Otousan no tabako (2007)
Warm Story
This is Japanese story and the main character is a girl of elementary school. She buys a tobacco from a vending machine after school and goes back to her home. However, her mother finds it and scolds her strictly. Why does she buy tobacco? Because she is asked by her father. Her father seems to be sick, therefore, although she is scolded by her mother, she buys tobacco for her father. I can understand her feelings well. She loves her mother and father, therefore, she wants to obey both. The reason that she obeys her father is she may understand that her father can't live long. It is cruel for a little girl and it is a conflict. I think she is to be pitied.
In the film, there is a high school girl who smokes. People usually imagine that such a girl is not good, however, the girl in this film is kind. She talks to the little girl as an equal and although it is actually bad, she helps the little girl. I was impressive very much.
There are Japanese towns and parks in this film. I think Japanese towns in the evening are lonely and beautiful. I love evening in Japan. The scene expresses the painfulness of the story well. I want world audiences to know Japanese unpretentious and beautiful towns, and Japanese family's state. It is a warm story.
Embers (2006)
Fear Of War
This is a story during World War Ⅱ. In New Zealand, a woman lives in a small house in the cold winter. She waits for her husband who have been to the battlefield. She often has a strange dream. The dream is a scene a Japanese soldier tries to kill her husband. It is terrible for her and she comes to worry about her husband more. However, he suddenly comes back to her. I imaged that they would hug each other and be delighted with their reunion, therefore I felt strange. Then she finds a human ear in the his bag, and of course, she is surprised. However, he is calm.
It takes courage for me to watch a movie about war. Because I have never experience war, it is scary for me. This is a short film, however, this expresses the tragedy of war well. I think that there may have been women like this one not only in New Zealand, but also in Japan. This is a sad story, but we should watch such movies.
The Lunch Date (1989)
Romantic Lunch Date
There is a woman that seems to be high-class in the station. She seems to hurry, however, she hits a man and misses the train. Moreover, she loses something, therefore she sheds a tear. It is a terrible day for her. Then she goes into a café. She puts her lunch on the table and leaves, however, a strange man eats her lunch when she returns. She is surprised and criticizes him. However, he keeps eating. Can't he understand her language? Then she stubbornly eats it together. The man brings two coffees. She and he smile. After, there is a funny punch line.
I like black-and-white film because it doesn't have various colors, therefore, we can watch clearly. Moreover, the actresses look more beautiful. However, I think that foods don't look tasty in black-and-white film. I also like the music of the film. It is retro and nice tune, and of course, the rhythm is nice. And I think that the title of this film is romantic.
Paperman (2012)
His Paper Planes
The story begins with a paper hitting a man. Her paper hits him and his paper hits her too. Then her lip's shape is left on his paper. It is destiny meeting and their love story starts! I don't know whether they fall in love with each other when they met, but he finds her at the next building to his office and he tries to contact her. I think that it is very charming that the method to contact her is a paper plane. It is a romantic idea. At the scene that his paper planes don't get to her, I felt nervous and I wished for success. From the scene that he runs from his office, the story has energy. I like the scene that the paper planes collect best! It is cute!
The depiction of the characters of this story is good and the music with pop is good too. My heart beats throughout the story. It is also nice that their continuance is on the credit roll. Any girl loves this film. Of course, I want boys to watch this too.
The Crush (2010)
The child's power
This is a story that a schoolchild falls in love with his teacher. The boy seems to be grade 2 or 3, and as is often the case with children of his age, they think love is marriage. Therefore he gives her a toy ring. She wears it on her third finger. She is a kind teacher. When he meets her in a city, she wears a real engagement ring and there is her fiancé next to her. She shows him their happily, however, he is shocked. Then he offers her fiancé a duel with guns for her. It is good of foreigners to accept what this child says, the adults surely don't accept in Japan.
I didn't image the story would be like this story because I thought cute in the beginning of the story. The scene of the duel made me nervous. I saw a gun in the film, because his father is a police. I think that if such a accident happen actually, it is very dangerous. This is a little frightening, therefore it is not good to show children this film. This is a surprising film for me.
Lifted (2006)
A cute little monster
One night, a man is asleep in his house. Then, a UFO approaches the house. Light gets through the window and a sleeping man floats to he window. But the window is closed, so his body don't go out of his house. In the UFO, there are two monsters. A little monster is a student and he moves the man's body as part of a test. A large monster is a supervisor and he watches the student. The student makes many mistakes, so probably, his score is not good. He disappoints and cries. Then, the supervisor sympathizes with the student and he allows the student to control the handle of the UFO. But the student fails in his control. I suppose that the student is scolded by the supervisor.
The little monster is cute and the large monster is very kind. The scene of the large monster helping the little monster is heart-warming and the images of this film are very beautiful. But I feel sorry for the man, because he was hit everywhere on his body. This film has many funny scenes, so I enjoyed watching this.
Father and Daughter (2000)
A little sad and gentle story
This film is a story just as the title describes. Once a father and his daughter come to a river, then somehow, he lest his daughter and rides on a boat. The daughter waits for her father day after day. And, she gets old...
This film has a lonely mood. The music and the picture make me sad. However, this film is great, because it doesn't use various color, it uses only white, black, brown and gray. Furthermore, it doesn't have expression. However, I can understand the season, time, story and character's feeling. I think that this film has an apt world view.
In this film, I guess that the bicycle is key. She always rides on her bicycle, therefore I felt that it indicates her heart which she still yearn her father. I like this film, however, I want to see an another ending. Therefore, I want to know how do other people feel the ending. I want to exchange review with other people. I think that this film is a little sad and gentle story. I recommend you watch this.
Fish Out of Water (2005)
It is a nice title.
This is a story about a man's little revenge to a lady and a fat man.
At first, I felt that the man is very kind, but I gradually felt anxiety because the number of people increased and the people are not kind. I imagine the situation would be worse. But by the end of story, he succeed in his little revenge. I laughed. I like his action at the end of the story, it is a nice idea.
But there were things that I couldn't understand. Why did the people increase? Why did the people ride on his boat? I couldn't understand the plot of the story well. But it is great that the actor and the actress of this film expressed their feeling by their face because this film doesn't have lines. So I want to know the continuance of the story, I want to know the future of the characters.
The title indicate the end of the story, so it's a nice title.
