Nice Visual Storytelling
21 October 2015
This film is about a couple whose marriage is experiencing problems. At the beginning of the film, their relationship is under strain, so the couple doesn't live happily. In the middle, the husband takes a small boy to his house because the boy is left behind by his mother. In the end, the boy gives the opportunity for the couple to think about their marriage, and they find the answer in their own way. I like the casting of the actors and actresses. Especially, I think the husband actor and wife actress are very good. This is because their atmosphere, which looks sad, is appropriate to their characters. Moreover, I also like the visual storytelling of this film because it is simple and easy to understand. When the sexual scene suddenly appeared, I was surprised. However, after I watched the film from beginning to end, I found the scene played a very important role to understand the couple's problem. There are no scenes without meaning in this film. Therefore, I like this film.

A Typical Screwball Comedy
7 October 2015
This film is about a paleontologist who is loved by a crazy woman. In the film, first, the paleontologist who has a fiancée is loved by a crazy woman. Second, she begins to raise a leopard named "Baby," it causes some incidents around the man and the woman. Finally, after they chase Baby which escapes, their relationship is changed. Actually, when I watched the first scene in which the crazy woman appeared, I didn't like this character. However, now, I like her because I think she is necessary character who makes the film very funny. Furthermore, I enjoyed seeing that the paleontologist is changed by the crazy woman. In contrast to her, in the beginning of the film, I feel the man is a commonsense person. However, after he meets the crazy woman, he becomes crazy as well as her. I think the process which changes him makes the film funny too. I recommend people who want to watch a screwball comedy should watch this film. This is because it is a typical screwball comedy.

The Graduate (1967)
7/10
This film shows a youngster's uneasiness and fear.
7 October 2015
This is a romantic film about a young man who graduated from college. In the film, first, at his graduation party, he meets the mature woman who is the wife of his father's business partner and has an affair with her. Second, the man's parents suggest to him that he should date with the young woman, who is the mature woman's daughter. Finally, though the man and the young woman are attracted to each other, the mature woman tries to separate them. I like the scene where the man takes the young woman away because it shows he loves her very much. In contrast, I don't like the scene where the man is having an affair with the mature woman. This is because I'm not favorably disposed toward an affair between a young man and a mature woman. I recommend youngsters who have uneasiness for the future to watch this film because it shows a youngster's uneasiness and fear for the future. By watching this film, youngsters can know how uneasiness and fear make their behavior incredible.

This film shows robots' pathetic destiny.
7 October 2015
This film is about a boy who is a robot and has artificial intelligence. In the film, first, a married couple receives the robot as their son. Second, they abandon him because their real son who falls into a coma wakes up. Finally, the robot has an adventure to meet his "mommy" and become a real human boy. I like the story of this film, but I get sad when I watch the scene which shows the robot is abandoned. This is because such a scene shows robots' pathetic destiny. They are created to satisfy humans' desire and are abandoned when their role is finished. In the modern world, robots are developed and used in various places. As a person who lives in such a world, I feel I should think about the relationship between humans and robots. Although I get sad when I watch this film due to robots' pathetic destiny, I think this film is a good science fiction because it gives us an opportunity to think about the relationship between humans and robots.

My favorite film
7 October 2015
This film is about two male musicians who disguise themselves as women to flee the state. In the film, first, two men see the incident and are chased by the Mafia. Second, they disguise themselves as women to belong to an all women band and flee the state. Finally, they love the same woman, a member of the band who plays the ukulele, but they are found by the Mafia. I like the cast of the main characters in this film because they all act very well. Especially, I like the actors of two male musicians. I think it is difficult that actors act as women, but the actors of two male musicians act well and make the film very funny. Then, I also like the actress of the heroine, Marilyn Monroe. In this film, she has some scenes where she sings. Therefore, we can listen to her song and voice. In my opinion, though she doesn't sing well, her unique voice attracts us. When I watched the scene, I listened attentively to her song. This film has a lot of point worthy of note. This is the funniest film I have ever seen.

Nice Romantic Comedy
24 August 2015
This film is about a man and woman who doubt whether men and women really can become friends or not. In the film, first, the hero and heroine meet at the first time, but they don't have a good impression about each other. Second, they meet again after a long time and become best friends. Finally, they have a quarrel, but thanks to it, they can get the answer about their doubt. I like the music which is used in the film since it is apropos and gives the film a good effect. Then, I like the theme of this film because it is interesting. Some people probably have a same doubt as the hero and heroine of this film. Therefore, I recommend such people watch this film to get the answer. I feel this film shows us the essence of a relationship of mutual trust between men and women. I think this is a good romantic comedy.

Blade Runner (1982)
9/10
Amazing Science Fiction
24 August 2015
This film is about a man who hunts replicants. In the film, first, the man begins to investigate replicants which return to the earth. Second, he gets the information and hunts them one after another. Finally, he fights the boss of the replicants and knows why they return to the earth. I like the concept of this film because it makes us think about the relationship between humans and robots. Robots are often created to help humans, but they don't complaint because they don't have feelings. However, if they have feelings, what would they do? I feel the answer is in this film. I don't like a violent action scene, so I shut my eyes while such a scene is shown in this film. However, in order to show the concept of the film, such a scene is needed. This is because it shows robots' feelings for humans. Robots, which are created to help humans, would be angry for humans if they have feelings. This film makes me think about that deeply. I think this film is a good science fiction.

E.T. (1982)
8/10
Great Film
24 August 2015
This film is about a boy who meets an alien, E.T. In the film, first, E.T. is left alone on the earth and meets the boy. Second, they establish an emotional bond and are one flesh. Finally, E.T. is taken by scientists, but the boy takes him back and helps him to return to his native place. I like the actor of the protagonist because he acts very well. Especially, I think he is good at making his facial expression. It is not too much say that he is a genius child actor. Then, I also like this film itself. This is because I feel this film teaches us that we can establish an emotional bond with even aliens. I don't know whether they really exist or not. However, if they do and we can get on with them, that would be a good thing. Since this film gives us a dream, I think it is a good film.

Interesting Story
24 August 2015
This film is about a man who believes a fateful love. In the film, first, the man falls in love with the heroine at first sight and makes an approach to her. Second, he gets along with her, but he finds he is just a friend for her. Finally, their relationship ends and each of them takes their own path for the future. I like the editing of this film because it is easy to understand. Although the film shows 500 days of the couple, the story doesn't progress along time series. However, before the story of a day starts, it is shown when the story happens. Therefore, we aren't confused about time series. Then, I also like the actress of the heroine since she is very cute and acts an appealing woman well. I feel the protagonist has no choice but to fall in love with her at first sight. I really enjoyed watching this film throughout the whole.

Groundhog Day (1993)
8/10
Good Comedy
23 August 2015
This is a comedy about a man, who is a popular weather forecaster. In the film, first, he goes to a country town to report "Groundhog Day." Second, he notices he spends the exact same day over and over. Finally, he decides to make use of the situation to be a respectable person. I feel it is funny that the man fails to make advances to the heroine over and over. Taking the ending into consideration, we can understand she doesn't like his self-centered attitude. In contrast, I don't like the scene the man tries to kill himself. This is because I wonder whether he really needs to do such a thing. In my opinion, the director can show his feelings by using another way. Anyway, I really enjoyed watching this film throughout the whole. Therefore, I recommend every people to watch it. The structure of the film is simple and easy to understand, so I think every people would enjoy watching this film.

Shocking
19 July 2015
This is a story about a man who will be put to death by hanging by an army. Although he is going to be hanged, he can succeed in escaping from the army because the rope breaks. While he is chased by the army, he sees plants and notices it is important to live. During the film, he keeps escaping from the army and running to go home and meet his family. There is the loud report of a gun in the film, and it helps to give us a feeling of tension. Actually, though I like the story of the film largely, I don't like the ending because it gives us a terrible shock. When I saw the ending, I couldn't do anything in blank surprise. I think the ending of the film leaves a bad taste in our mouth. From the film, I learned a terrible fear gives our mind a great effect.

Interesting Film
19 July 2015
This story is about a lonely boy who can change living things into robots. In the film, first, he lives with his robot family happily and sees a girl is playing with her bird from his room's window. Second, he sees a girl bury her dead bird in the ground, so he digs it up and changes it into a robot. Then, he gives her the robot as a present, but she isn't pleased. Finally, he realizes robots cannot become alternative to living things and decides to leave his house. I like this film's editing about the motion of characters. I feel it makes the world view of the film. I also like the film itself. This is because it teaches us living things give us something important robots cannot give us. It is important that we understand that thing because the technology of robots is developed these days and robots are introduced into our social life. I feel this film teaches us that robots cannot become alternative to living things.

Nice Comedy
19 July 2015
This film is a story about protagonists who must go to school to take a lecture for problem children on Saturday. In the film, first, their teacher tells them to write an essay about what you are. Then, in spite of the instruction, the protagonists don't follow and try to probe into their secret each other. Finally, although they have a quarrel, they can understand each other and finish the lecture on Saturday. There are five protagonists in the film. I think all these actors and actresses act very well. Especially, an actress who acts a mysterious character is great. This is because she plays a difficult character to act well and succeeds in expressing the atmosphere which the mysterious character has. While I watched the film, I was never bored because the story of the film developed at a quick pace. Sometimes we don't like such a film, but I think most people are never bored while they watch this film.

Shocking Film
15 July 2015
This film is about an old man who lives alone and often feels lonely. First, he is ignored by many people. Second, a woman visits him to have a little chat with him. Finally, he gets hysterical when the woman says she has to go. I think the male actor is good because he can express his character's feelings well. For example, when he expresses his anger, his acting appeals strongly to us. When I saw the scene in which he expresses his strong anger to the woman, I was surprised at his power. To be honest, I don't like the ending of the film because it left a bad taste in my mouth. However, I feel the ending is best for this film when I think about a natural flow of the story. This is because the ending can express how he becomes crazy due to his loneliness.

Moving Film
15 July 2015
This is a story about an old man's childhood memory. In the film, first, he visits an old woman's house to meet her and to give a gift. Then, he recalls his childhood memories, and finally, he can meet her and give her a gift. The point I like about this film is that it very little dialog. I was very impressed that we can understand what the film wants to say even if there are only a few lines of dialog in the film. Moreover, I also like the choice of actors because a young actor who is in the old man's flashback and an old actor are very alike. In contrast, in my opinion, the young actress who is also in the old man's flashback and the old actress aren't very alike. However, it is a small problem. I think this film teaches us that we will not forget our childhood memories when we become old.

Whacked (II) (1998)

The frightening film
22 May 2015
This film has a protagonist whose stress is built up in American society and shows the darkness of society. In this film, first, people in city fall in the street. Then, a protagonist builds up his stress in his workplace. Finally, the reason that people fall in the first scene is shown. There is no voice in the film, but in place of it, the sound effect helps us understand the story line. Though I hadn't understood what this film wanted to say until I saw the last scene, my question was gone by the last scene. However, when I understood it was dark, it left a bad taste in my mouth. Although this film doesn't make us excited or moved, it is a good film in terms of showing the stress that people who work in big city have. I think what this film wants to say is we cannot expect what people who build up their stress will do.
