MOVIE in CLASS

Good morning.
The best movie in class I chosed is Macbeth.
This story is a tragedy. I'll introduce the story a little.
Macbeth, who is Scottish commander of samurai, was taken in by an witch's prophecy.
Then, he conspired with his wife, killed king Duncan, and came to the throne.
However, his wife killed herself and he was also defeated in the end.
It's too short introduction.
I don't like tragic stories very much, but this movie striked me.
I'd like to read in novel.

Movie

Good evening everyone.


I selected Great Dictator.

When I was asked what movie we want to see,  I insisted the movie 2 times.

Although I have never seen foreign movies, I knew the name of Chaplin and his movies because my

high school English teacher talk passionately about his works. He recommend us we watch his works.

Also, I studied world history when I was a high school student so I'm interested in the history

which Great Dictator focus on .However,  I didn't watch it. So, I'm looking forward to seeing the movie.


I can't wait for the class!!
I want to see it!!

See you.

Movie Which I Wanted To Watch

 Hellow, everyone! Are you guys getting ready for your exams? I hope you'd have a good luck!

 By the way, last Friday, we chose "A Great Dictator" for a movie which we gonna watch at the next class. And it was just a movie I wanted to watch! So I'm looking forward to watch it next class.

 I know that Chaplin is a worldwide grate entertainer of 20th century. But I haven't ever seen his film before so I want to feel and enjoy the world of Chaplin.

 We had a few choice of Chaplin's films. The reason I chose "A Great Dictator" is that I wanted to know how he felt and thought obout society in the wartime. Also I was interested in how he tried to express his feelings and what is the massage he wanted to tell us.

Movie

Hello.My name is Youichi Maeda.I`m sorry to be late.

 I selected MIB which names Made In Black.
It is because I like thriling.I have seen it many times.
 It has three sorts. Of course,I watched them.
 I want you to understand how interesting they are.
 But,My friends recommends the other movie.
It's name is dictator.It is about Hittoror.
It shows jewelish trouble and the dictated politics of Hittoror.
 I want to think about what is politics and why war occurs by watching it.
 

something about movies

Hello!
I’m very sorry for my Long time no see in the blog...


Today, I’ll talk somethig about movies.
For a long time, I have wanted to watch some plays or movies of Shakespeare.
I know Shakespeare is really famous for dramatist and poet.
Unfortunately, I’ve never watched his works.





last Wednesday, my dream came ture!
I was very happy and very exciting then.
Last Wednesday, we watched “Hamlet”.



It is kind of tragic drama and it is written by Shakespeare.
Hamlet is the prince of Denmark.
His father is killed and took over his throne by Hamlet’s uncle.
Hamlet tried to take vengeance upon his uncle.
The last seems very sad.





For example, “Much Ado About Nothing”.
Do you know that?



I did not know about the work before watching a TV program the other day.
In that program, a Japanese girl went to the school of musical in the U.S.A. and she prepared stage design of “Much Ado About Nothing” that student of the school play.
This is the reason I know the works and I’m interested in it.
I don’t know about it very much, so I cannot write the summary in the blog, sorry :( 
This URL is the program I saw.
Please check it.

I want to watch it as soon as possible but I will have term-end exams next week and I have to study.
I will watch it after the exams if I have enough time to enjoy it.
Try it, you too.


Thank you for reading!
See you tomorrow class and have a nice dream :)

MIB

 Good evening everyone. I'll write about MIB.


 The series is based on the urban legend 「Men in Black」. Men in Black is a private agency. This agency is some kind of extra terrestrial surveillance corporation. Then one of the best agency named "K" is recruiting for a new agency. He finally choose a police man "James Edwards." James start new life as the agent "J". "K"and"J" work together, but....

  This MIB was opened to the public in 1997 in the United States, and few months later opened to the public in Japan.

  My first watch was on TV when I was about 10 years old. I like Will Smith who played J since I watched this movie.  I like the character. What J says and thinks are always a bit off the point. So he was chosen. MIB needs no common sense. K also liked him.

 And MIB's tools will arouse our curiosity. Most interesting tool is "flash." If you watch the red flash of the tool, you will forget some memories of the period MIB sets on the tool.


I don't think there are someone has never seen this fantastic movie. If there are, I recommend that you watch it.

goodnight

Something about the Movies Introduced in the Class


After hearing the introduction about the movies in the class, I am very interested in the Alfred Hitchcock‘s movie. I know he is a very famous movie director. But I just saw one  of his movie, “Vertigo”. It is very interesting, especially the unexpected ending. Hitchcock‘s movie is almost belong to suspense genre, seeing his movie I entirely attracted by the story and concentrated in it. 






The movie was made in 1958. An very old movie. Its Japanese name is "めまい". And it’s very worth to watch, if you like suspense movies. I think he is very good at making a tense and frightening atmosphere. 

       Another movie of Hitchcock -“Psycho” is also introduced in the class. It seems
interesting too. But it seems more frightening than
Vertigo”. 


     I saw the Japanese movie "告白". I think this movie is also the same genre. And it's very interesting too. Also have an unexpected ending.

DVD or video


Hi.
Last lesson we took on Friday was so exciting, wasn't it?
I did not know Mr.Phillips has such a huge number of DVDs or videos.
I expect these were just a tip of an iceberg in his collection, because you know, he is quite high intelligence person.

Anyway, one of the best movie is MIB <3
You might hear the name and watch this before because main cast, Tommy Lee Jones, is so famous for coffee's commercial as a alien and you have seen it just once, I am sure.



Including 1 to 3 seasons of this movie, my best is the last series, MIB 3.
You may think what is different from those 1 and 2, I cannot tell here because I want you to wait and see.
However just remember, MIB3 is the end ( it is beginning in fact) of this series.

Moreover, what I want to watch recently is "Goodbye bafana".
I wonder if Mr Phillips showed me this, but I just remember there was the movie related to Nelson Mandela.



When I was in high school, I could know him on textbook.
I consider it could be some destiny things to meet him.
Because our high school was a quite unique, and we could learn a lots of international incidents in class such as gender, conflicts, famine, food or distinction including Apartheid.
I could know who he is and also how he lives in a life, for me, he is one of respect... no, sorry I cannot say here, I feel he stands close to god.
Without him, I am sure there would not stay present South Africa now.
Unfortunately, he died last year, but he is still living in my heart forever.
That is why ( sorry, it might not be the answers...) I want to watch this.
If you have time or not,  I strongly recommend to watch.

Thank you.
