Otousan no tabako (2007)
nice
This movie is that a girl searches for a cigarette to her sickly father. But her mother never let her get it. She tries many times.
I like the attitude of the girl to work hard . it is very cute and makes me cheer her. The scene of Japan reminds me of my childhood in Niigata. The towns in this film are almost similar to my birth place, so I like them.
I do not like the scene that a high school girl smokes. I actually do not like cigarettes because they cause only bad things.
I think the movie teaches us the bond between children and parents. Actually I like this kind of films, so I was moved. This movie also reminds me of my childhood and connection between me and my parents. This movie will probably make you feel happy !
Gasman (1997)
nice
This movie is about children who react with naïve simple emotion to a situation by father in the Christmas party and also deep and meaningful.
The first scene of the movie shows us the foreign family's everyday morning. This scene of ordinary lets me think about foreign lives. The scene in the party, a girl got angry at a girl sat on her father. I think this is jealousy. But I don't know the true meaning. Last scene was also mysterious. On the railway, a woman who has other two children suddenly appears and takes them to somewhere without saying any words.
I think this movie is full of mysterious things for me, so I couldn't understand almost of all! Unfortunately there aren't many information about this. If I can understand the words what people saying in this, I can understand easily! Understanding movie only by watching is very difficult. Listening to words what they are saying is important!
Father and Daughter (2000)
nice
This movie is very sad story about a father and a daughter. He suddenly disappears riding on a boat to somewhere. She waits for him coming back for many years, but he never comes back.
Whenever she passes through the riverside, she remembers and waits for him. I don't know whether he died or not. Repeats of this are very sorrow. In the last scene, I think she dies and fortunately meets him in the heaven. My favorite is the animation. This black and white enhances the sadness of this movie. There are no words, so very quiet and appeals directory to our hearts! I also like the effective background music because it makes me sad and I think it pulls me into the story.
I think this movie is very emotional and makes me think my family! If my family or important friends suddenly disappear, I will wait until I can meet again. I want to show this movie to everyone I like.
Embers (2006)
nice
This movie is about a wife waiting for her husband coming back home from World War Ⅱ. The war changed him.
While she was waiting for her husband, she feared that he might had been killed already. Her imagination about that and a Japanese soldier is very terrible, so makes me feared. This movie also includes some grotesque scenes. A human's ear, for example, is very horrible.
This movie is full of some things I can't understand. I think as I watch this movie many times, I will understand degree by degree.
I think this tells us about uneasy and agony of a wife who wait for her husband who she doesn't know whether he comes back. Those days, people suffered from such things we can't almost experience now. We should know wars by watching movie, reading and talking with people.
Knick Knack (1989)
nice
This story is that a snowman tries to run away from a water tank because he longs for perpetual summer and playing with friends.
I like the scene that he tries many ways to escape. For example, he blasts and knocks, however these ways are waste. I also like the scene that he gets out of the bowl once, however he gets in it, and the contacts with a woman. If I were him, I would give up, however he tries many times, so I want to look up to him.
I do not have scene that I do not like because this movie is full of my tastes. This movie is so funny that many children can watch this easily.
The conclusion of this movie is that the snowman finished without running away, but it is important to try repeatedly. I think this movie teaches us that heart.
Lifted (2006)
nice
This movie is that the aliens try to lift a man to their spaceship who sleeps in his house.
There are many interesting scenes in this film. I like the contacts between aliens. It is very humorous. A small alien's trial and error is very funny and a big alien's correspondence is cool and interesting. The scene that a man in a house crashes into a wall many times is also funny. The BGMs in this movie are very good. They suit each scenes. They also enlarge the fun of this film.
There is no scene that I don't like. I like all of the scenes.
This movie is constituted by the funny moment, so I think it is made to make people funny. I like the movie that is full of fun. When you are sad and want to make yourself cheer up, you should watch it!
Whacked (1998)
nice
This black and white movie is about strange and sudden deaths in bustle of big city. I can't expect any end to the last! This is full of mysterious things until last.
When I watched the first scene, I couldn't understand anything! I think this movie is kind of mystery, funny and comedy. I like such a mysterious movie because it makes me expect the last! In the last scene, a man plays golf on the roof of a building. When I watched this scene, I felt happy and was relieved because I could expect nothing! There is no music, so it is silent and full of puzzles. The effects music has are very important. It decides all impressions for movie. Characters in this movie also have no words, so we should understand from their expressions.
The conclusion is that several effects enhance good parts in this movie, for example, no music, no color and monotony. When I watch movies, I want to be careful to such effects!
Three Days in Kamakura (2012)
nice
This movie is about love, tenderness and bond between a husband and a wife. They tries to adopt a boy in man's school who loses his whereabouts. It is asked in this movie whether the meeting is coincidence or not.
However this movie sometimes includes the scene which makes me ashamed, I think it is good because this can show real parts of human. Many other movies usually hide such parts. This movie also shows us the problem with neighbors which can be happened in the real. A man wants a boy, but a woman rejects and tries to explain the situation to police. Finally he understood, but I can understand his feeling. Becoming a family is big decision and happy thing.
This movie tells us the love of human. But there are things which cannot be proved by love. When I know the director of this movie, I was very surprised! I want him to manufacture such a nice movies in the future!
The Lunch Date (1989)
nice
This film which makes me feel something specific old of black and white film is about an old woman's funny misunderstandings and interesting give-and-take with African American man. It is very difficult film for me to understand!
First, she runs into a man standing in the middle floor. That is why she missed the train. After that, however she seemed to have lost something, I don't know what she lost. The next scene in cafeteria, she orders a salad. The African American man steels it. But he actually doesn't steel. That is her misunderstanding! She simply mistook her booth! This scene is the most interesting for me and maybe for all people watching.
The conclusion is that this movie is difficult, so I watched many times! I couldn't understand first time. The more difficult to understand, the more interesting the movie is! Whenever I watch movies, I want to understand for the first time!
The Crush (2010)
nice
This movie is about a boy's love for his teacher. He represents his affection by giving a toy ring to her. But he is discouraged when he encounters her with her boyfriend.
I like the background music in this movie. First scene in classroom, the calm music suits and the beginning of the movie is made smooth. The scene in school yard makes me feel tension. A boy challenges her boyfriend to a duel to the death. The last scene in the hut, a boy tries to shoot him. Her boyfriend lies that he never loves her to run away from the bad situation. This scene shows us that when a human is driven into the situation of dying, he lies. It is a human's week point. We surely have them somewhere in our hearts!
I think this movie tells us that there are week points lurking in us. Actually when I were driven into such a situation, I would lie to escape! I like this kind of movie! It is very exciting for me.
Paperman (2012)
nice
This is pixar movie which is about a man's love for a woman. It is beautiful, lovely and silent movie. I have never watched such a hand-drawn animation techniques. It is very freshness movie for me.
I like expressive characters in this movie. Unique description of the pixar moves us! In the office, he notices her in the building on opposite side. He throws paper planes to there. But she doesn't notice and goes out from her office. After that, the paper planes with lipstick and many takes him to her. Eventually he meets her. That scene is very nice. In addition, there is no words, so expressive characters stand out more and more.
I think that movies like this are needed to move people by expressions without words, so it is difficult thing. All pixar movies have expressive characters, so we can enjoy to watch every time. I want to watch other movies like this, and want many people to watch paperman.
Fish Out of Water (2005)
nice
This story is that the man carries people by boat because traffic on the road is so busy for people.
I like the scene that the number of people who take on the boat increased and the man felt upset. I like the contacts between the man and the woman who fishes. As the circumstances on the boat change, the contacts change. In the first scene of the film, the cool woman drums her fingers. That scene represents the stress caused by the busy traffic and this is my favorite scene in this film.
I don't like the scene that the fat man throws his package of chips away into the sea because it has bad influence on children.
I think that satirizing heavy traffic of present society is the conclusion of this film. Roads are full of cars, so I think we should widespread our visions to river and sea.
