Three Days in Kamakura (2012)
Beautiful Kamakura
This story is around Japanese and British couple. They lives is beautiful Kamakura. The husband works as a teacher. One day, he took a boy at his workplace, and the couple spent a time with the boy. The boy is important role to patch up a strained relationship. I found that a child is not only object of their love but also various meaning between husband and wife relationship. This film is compelling and wonderful. The actors are splendid. I have a good feeling for the husband. He is very expressive, especially his smile is really charming. The wife's actress expresses sorrow like old and natural style of Japanese woman. The child boy is also good. He has a superb pure look. I love this film. This film tells me that child is important role of a couple. After this film, I think I want to be a good existence for my parents.
The Crush (2010)
True love
A main character of this story is a little student boy. Of the classmate serious study, only he has interest another thing. He falls in love with the teacher. He gave a toy marriage ring for her after the class, but after that he find that she has a fiancé. He tries to win over her love. I think a boy is excellent. He is not only charming but also do a great acting. He does natural performance without the sarcasm. I thought it looks like not a movie. Seemingly The Crush is a cute love story of a child, but it makes us think about what is the true love. I was extremely moved by that. This is a film to ask a question what true love is. I want a lot of people to watch the movie.
Father and Daughter (2000)
wonderful animation
Father and Daughter is an interesting silent animation film. A little girl cycles with her father, and then he goes away by taking a boat. After that it is described her life as she waited for him. In spite of so many years passed, she waited him. The animation is simple, so the character's expression does not see at all. But the editor great express in easy terms. Especially the background music is splendidly. Plaintive sound matches with this movie very well. When I heard the music in the beginning of the film, I think it is a work of imaginative narrativity. It is really effective to attract an audience. I think it make an impact for movie that is can describe skillfully such a simple animation. This day speaking of animation, the mainstream is 3-D. However I watched this film, I find an attraction of plain 2-D animation. That is why it is valuable movie to watch.
Embers (2006)
Anguished
Embers is a story about the Second World War. The story does not express war directly, it unfold around a woman waiting her husband that was conscripted. One day suddenly her husband came back home. Though she was looking forward to his back, strange to say, between of the couple develop a rift. The title means ember of war. War is cruel not only itself but also after the war. So much of scars left people on their body and heart. This movie expresses human psychological hurt. When I watch the film, I felt sick at heart. Especially the scene of appeared Japanese cast is impressive because I am Japanese. It was the picture which I was made to think about. I think this movie expresses misery of the war and sorrow very well. I want to see a lot of people to see what damages war gave human. It tells us that the war breaks human mind.
The Lunch Date (1989)
Charming woman
While the old woman hurry up to take a train, she struck a man and throw out her luggage, and she missed the train. After having gone down in sorrow, she took into a cafe in the station. She meets a black man and the story unfolds. The last of the story is great interesting. The development that I did not expect surprised me. This film expresses a stereotype of racial discrimination. In the scene of striking with a black man, he tried to pick up the stuff to a woman but she took looks like steal on the sly. She looked did not want to touch by a black man. After that another black man appeared, there is something looks down on him about her. That casual expression is effective to see a stereotype. The editor did not scathing describe, but it is splendid movie to study stereotype. I like this movie because seemingly funny story but also it makes me think about various things.
Gasman (1997)
Profound meaning story
Gasman is the story on the day of the Christmas party. A little girl dressed up and goes to the party with her brother and father. On the way to the party, they meet a boy, a girl and a woman. A woman left her children with a man, and the story develops on the party. None of explanation, but perhaps these four children does not complete related by blood. There is something that is not understood, but it is effective to make interest for a spectator. I watched the film with a doubt, so I did not get sick. This film expresses the children's feeling well. The length of showing the child face is grate. It is consummate that how to get intervals. It is difficult to understand for me a bit. To tell the truth, I do not like such a complicated story, but it is interested. This is a very thoughtful film.
Knick Knack (1989)
Funny
Knick Knock is the funny story around a snowman in the snow globe. The snowman spent a boring time in the snow globe. On the other hand, out of the snow globe the other toys enjoy dance happily. In the toys, a glamorous woman toy wearing a swimming suit does a gesture "come here". The excitement snowman tries to escape the snow globe as hard as he can. That is a summary. This is a short animation film about four minutes, but it makes us pleasant adequately. The films start with jolly vocal Percussion. The sound is effective to reinforce the amusement. I was joyous at the background music. The characters are simple and pretty shape, so I was happy watching that. It was very interesting to watch snowman which was full of expressions. I think it is fun that it can express various things with a brief animation. I was amazed that this film is old but I enjoyed watching it. After the Knick Knock, my interest about animation films quickened. I want to see the Pixer's movies more.
Lifted (2006)
pretty monster
A man slept his bed on the house in a large field. One night UFO comes to a man's home and the little green monster tries to pick up to the UFO. But the little monster operates very poor. This film draws the state humorously. The animation is splendid. The background is totally like the real thing. It is beautiful image, and when the blue light of UFO appeared, I am really excited. While there are not clear lines, the music is superb effective. The background music is very funny. It has an important role to decide the atmosphere of the film. What was particularly striking was an expression of the big green monster after the little green monster cried. It looks like a human being. I felt so interested. I love this film because it makes me happy and laugh. Such a film is able to enjoy from children for adults. I want to see this films a lot of people.
Paperman (2012)
lovely animation
In the station, a man encountered a charming woman by a curious turn of events. A paper he had blown off and took a kiss mark on the paper. They laughed at it, but unfortunately she took a train to go to a company. The story is about a man try to meet her. This is a very cute story. It can be said all Disney characters, they are attractive, so I feel good just to watch them. The animation as an expression and the movement are splendid. The story is simple, but I can enjoy watching the film without getting tired. I empathized with a man doing his best. I flashed smile on my face. In the scene of a man make paper plain and flew, I found that I desire to go well with a man. I love this film because I feel so happy after watching it. It is splendid that it can express such a heartwarming story in an about six minutes.
Fish Out of Water (2005)
interesting
This story us concerns a man who is goes to work by rowboat. Visitors come to him his and change his thinking.
No one speaks at all but it is an interesting film. Actually I do not like silent films so I have never watched a silent screen film properly, nevertheless I appreciated this story. The warm tone relieved my anxiety and pressure, and the simple editing and also the length are good for me. If you always watch movies rely on the dialog, possibly this film will be a handhold for taking an interest in silent movies. It is funny that an animation suddenly appears. Many unexpected things pleased me.
I like the characters. An attractive woman is selfish, a man who looks rich is clever, these plain expressions are amusing.
I am glad to see the film. The movies I have watched till now are mostly action movies. But I think I am going to watch various movies from now on.
