Comment of The Shrek 4 forever after

     In consideration of the box office income ,the Shrek film series is really a series of success. Both the cute green ogre and the donkey wiyh a ready tongue are widely popular for they offer entertainment equally for viewers from 4 to 104. While personally,I once thought they are just typical America instant animated classics that make people laugh without think much. However,after saw the Shrek 4,my mind changed!
  Like the previous films,it makes me laugh and what's more,makes me think a lot. In this film,the bored and domesticated Shrek begins feeling not satisefied with his everyday life . The feeling of losing himself almost drives him crazy. Then there comes the trouble......That sounds really like many middle-aged men in real life do after they got a family and live a changeless life.
  Particularly I like this film  partly because it is the latest film I have seen and mainly because it succeded to make me think a lot. For a long time,I was really bored with such fairy tales wiht ending "The knight succeded to save the pretty princess and then they lived a happy life." Actually,the story is just begin after the princess was saved. Always,the following life might be more difficult to deal with than the Firedragon or a ogre.
  As this film shows us,thinkfullness and hopefullness may be the sword and shield that we can use to fight the boring life.

My fovorite movie

 My favorite movie is Trains Potting which I've seen like a million times.The main reason I like it is although the mail role was addicted to drugs and did a lot bad things, he still choosed a right and meaningful life after all.

 In the movie, the director used a lot of sarcasm and exerggration.That makes this movie a lot of fun.This is my favorite part.Renton wanted to quit drugs and he still wanted a last hit yet he didn't want go to te place which he uesd to.So he aksed a person who he didn't like to buy one for him.It turned out he got Renton some opium suppositories which Renton had to stuck them in his ass.Heroin made Renton constipated and these things cured it.So Renton had to look for a bath room.

 This is pretty funny,isn't it.Please watch it,too.

My favorite movie

My favorite movie is "The Glorious Team Batista". In this movie, some people are dead in "batista operation" mysteriously. Then, a neurology doctor begins to investigate these death. But, the more he investigate, the more mysterious this incident become. And what's worse, while he is investigating, a man is dead in an operation. However, an official of the ministry of health comes there. And, this incident immediately begins to get better by his appearance.

I read the original work of this movie and like it. There are some difference between the original work and this movie. It may be interesting to see this movie comparing them. Please see it once!

my favorite movie

My favorite movie is the first Pokemon movie, "Mewtwo Strike Back".
You might think Pokemon is for children, but this movie have a hard theme, "Why do I live?"

Mewtwo was created by human. So it hated human and its original Pokemon, especially Mew. It created some clone Pokemon and made them fight against their original Pokemon.

Clones are made with a purpose, but clones have minds which are different from the originals. So what is the difference between clones and originals? Can clones' maker decide their fate?
This movie gives us bioethical problems.

If toys are living...

My favorite movie is the series of "Toy Story". "Toy Story"is one of the most important work by Pixar Animation Studios of The Walt Disney Company. This movie is very popular with both children and adults. The most characters are a "toys". The main character is a cowboy toy whose name is Woody and the others are toys who are friends of him and the owner of them and so on.

The theme of the series 1 and 2 is "Adventure and Friendship" of toys. Then the theme of 3 is "Parting and Happiness" of them. We can find how important friendship and believing are and what is happiness for toys. In Japan, "Toy Story 3" was put on screen in June this year and the DVD was put on sale in November.

If you have never seen it, please see one time. No, many time!

I recommend this movie!

My favorite movie is "Harry Potter." This is composed of seven chapters. I think that a lot of people like this movie. When I first watch "Harry Potter and Sorcerer's Stone," I think this movie very interesting.

"Harry Potter" is a fantasy movie. It is a story of the friendship and magic of Harry Potter and the friend. The image of magic is marvelous.

Harry lost his parents in the cradle. They were killed by Load Voldemort who is the most felonious wizard. Hally confront with him in various scenes.

This movie is worth watching!

Push or Through?

This film's title is "The Box"
This is based short novels; "Button, Button" (Richard Matheson)

At a dawn, a box was delivered to a couple. In it an equipment with a red button at the top. At the night, a man visited them. He didn't have his half of the face! He explained about the button. Like
"If you push the button, two thing will come to. First, someone somewhere at the world who you don't know, will die. Second, you will receive the payment, (displaying the money) 1 million dollars. You have 24 hours"

Finally, after having had a lot of troubles, the couple [actually, she] pushed it because they had many trouble in living. But this was just a biginning of the worst. Certainly they would get the money, but …

I'm sure that you will be moved by the very last scene because I was moved when reading the outline.

HACHI

Have you ever seen the movie "HACHI"? This is the remake of the Japanese film nemed "Hachiko Monogatari". The first film was released in 1987 then the remake was released last year. Richard Gere played the lead in this movie,his part was a professor.

I have seen both "HACHI"and"Hachiko Monogatari". I couldn't help crying when I saw them."HACHI" is a name of a dog. Parker(Richard Gere) had him. One day, Parker susuddenly die. It was HACHI's chore to meet his master and he never stopped it even if his master doesn't appear every day. He goes to the station to meet Parker every day. I was greatly touched by HACHI's obedience.

Please try to see it.

My favorite film

My favorite film is "Nodame cantaile". Juri Ueno and Hiroshi Tamaki play the leading part in this film. This film described their growth through classical music. Since the comic books and the TV dramas had been really poplar among young people, they were cinematized. Thanks to them, I started to have interest in classical music. I want you to read the comic books or watch the TV dramas before you see this film. If you do them, you can enjoy seeing this film more. Since this film's actors and actresses are perfect for their roles and they have wide range of acting abilities, I think that you are certainly satisfied with this film.
If you have free time, please see this film!!

Edward scissorhands trailer

My favourite film is Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands, starring Winona Ryder (the blond girl in the movie) and the absolutely fabulous Johnny Depp (Edward). The original soundtrack is Danny Elfman, a true genius who composed almost all of Burton's movie soundtracks (Beetlejuice, Batman, Big Fish ...)!!


"Edward Scissorhands" is the first movie in which Burton and Depp collaborated, in which they became closest friends !! There have been 6 other movies in which they collaborated too, after this one : Ed Wood (1994), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Charlie and the chocolate factory (2005), The Corpse bride (2005) and Alice in Wonderland (2009) ! And it's not finished !!


I 'm fond of Tim Burton's fairy world since I was 5 when I saw "The Nightmare before Chrismas", thanks to my mother, also a Burton's and Depp's huge fan !
But I was already 13 when I saw Edward Scissorhands for the first time on TV !! I cried a lot in the end, and I fell in love with Johnny from this day ! And I started to collect all Burton's and depp's movies on DVDs.


Even if you don't like the movie, you can at least be overwhelmed with emotion while listening to the music !! I consider Danny Elfman as my favourite music composer (with john Williams)!
It's a music that makes you dream !by


The movie is about a young man named Edward (Johnny Depp), created artificially, but whose creator died before giving him hands (that's why he's got scissors instead of hands)! After his "dad" 's death, he lived all by himself in the huge castle you can see at the beginning of the trailer, until one day, a nice lady selling cosmetics came to his house, saw him, and decided to take him to her house to take care of him. Edward is a gentle boy, who wants to please his friends, but doesn't understand the rules of society (as he lived all by himself), and the neighborhood, first impressed by the coming of a new inhabitant and by his talented hands (he can cut humans and dogs' hair perfectly, and take care of your garden), they finally rejected him, because of him being different. Edward would also fall in love with Kim (Winona Ryder), the nice lady's girl, who is the one who doesn't want to consider him as an extraordinary person. At first, she doesn't seem pleased to have him in her house (he took her room), but in the end, they would fell in love, and she will save him!

This film is really important to Johnny Depp because :

1. thanks to it, he has been able to break up with the image the serie "21 Jumper Street" gave him (an image of teenage girls idol),
2. he met his closest friend, Tim Burton, who will make him play in 6 other movies,
3. he found his style (he loves to play characters on the marge of society, characters who fell pain),
4. he found his first love, Winona Ryder, with who he lived for 3 years

I have already told too much about this movie, and i'd like you to watch it, if you haven't already !
enjoy

free topic subject

sorry everyone I'm quite late for the free topic subject from last week !!


well, the subject I choose is what I (dis)like in Hirosaki and which differences there are with my hometown, Dax (France).


First of all, I love going to the onsen with my friends : in France, you can find what they call Spa, where you can relax thanks to hot water and massages (my hometown is, by the way, very famous for having such places that look like hot springs, and having a thermal source (the natural water that comes through the town can reach 75 °C !!) ) but most of the customers to these places are very old people ^^, we can't say teenagers often meet there !

Here in Hirosaki, although I love it, I only went twice to the onsen, the second time I was a little bit ill, because I entered the hot spring just a few minutes after lunch, so my stomach didn't feel like it ^^!

The second thing I like is riding my bike here ! I hope the snow will wait a little longer before coming because I want to use my bike a lot!! It's very useful, because I have the bad habit of being late for first class in the morning, that's why I need my bike to reach the university very quickly!!

In France, I rid bikes when I was young, but when I came to the Bordeaux university, I stopped using it : the fac was 15 m far from my appart, there were tramways and many buses, so no need for a bike !! The landscape were beautiful, and the weather fine (even in winter, because Bordeaux is in the South West of France), and so even walking was very interesting !!

I'm glad I could meet so many friends in Hirosaki, because I'm very shy and I was a little bit afraid not to be able to talk to anyone ^^! I'm happy to have met so many people from so many different countries, it's a very rich experience !!

In Bordeaux, we also have foreign students, but it's a little bit difficult to meet them (especially the Japaneses) because they are quite shy, and we don't do anything special to welcome them (that's a shame), they have to help themselves all alone with administration papers, and I feel sad for them ! whereas here, you are supported by everyone, it's so easy, even if don't speak japanese, like me !


What I dislike in Hirosaki ? The first times I went to my calligraphy club, I couldn't speak with anyone, and I felt so lonely, but now the relationship I have with the other students (all Japaneses) is getting warmer and warmer !! In conclusion, I don't think there is single thing I hate in Hirosaki ^^ !!


I don't want to go back to france !!

About my favorite movie

My favorite movie is "My Neighbor Totoro"! It is called "tonarinototoro" in Japan and very famous movie. I like it very much and saw it many times when I was small. "My Neighbor Totoro" is made by Hayao Miyazaki. This story is interesting and excited. Two sisters, Satsuki and May, who are heroine, moved to the country because of their mother stayed in the hospital due to tuberculosis. They meet mysterious livings there. They are very cute! So you can enjoy not only the story but also pictures. If you interested in it, let's see the movie "Tonarinototoro"!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocONUZj2v-k

Review of ‘Forrest Gump ’

A man sits at a bench with a box of chocolate, and he said to a lady next to him: “life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.”
As we know, this famous sentence comes from the film ’Forrest Gump‘ which is full of love. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, it wined Oscar Award in 1995. Naturally, a good film relies on much of its actors. Tom hanks, Gary Sinise, Sally Field and so on. All of these famous and good actors make this film more attractive and interesting.
Forrest Gump who is unfortunately to be born with a lower IQ and the muscle problem, usually, people always think this kind of person can’t be successful in dong anything. But, instead, this lucky man can run, he run to primary school, university, his happiness life.
In the film, there is another character Captain Dan. Dan lost his legs in Vietnam War. He said that his fate was death in war. However, Mr. A Gan saved him and let him be alive. After losing legs, Dan was decadent and disgusted with life, complaining that A Gan shouldn't save him. When he adjusted his mind, living on fishing with A Gan, he started to enjoy the wonderful life and thanked A Gan's help. The movie is intended to tell people that life is wonderful by this character. Rainbow is always after cloud. The key point is that whether we have a good mind and an opportunity to ourselves to change bad situation. The movie also sends such a message to us: do well what we should do, and life will return us well. There will be a miracle if there is perseverance.
In my opinion, it values to see this film. The more time you see it, the more you will get from the film. I like the film very much, because it teaches us how to preserve and succeed. Being in a melting mood, I see it many times. Also, Tom Hanks’s perfect acting can make you a good impression.

"Roman Holiday" is a first time movie that I have watch she has appeared in, and I was about five years old. Then, I thought "This movie is fun and she is cute". It's like this, I interested to her. I have seen almost all the movies she has appeared in. Those movies not sick for me even if a lot of watch.
