Hello, everyone!
Today I went to the movie titled "Campaign"(senkyo).
I had been waiting for this movie, which gives a very good picture
of the Japanese election style.
This movie is a documentary film, with no narration, no music, and no explanation.
When I came into the theater, there were many women to see it.
Though it took two hours, the movie had ended before you knew it.
This movie is very popular at foreign countries now.
I also enjoyed it and recommend you.
What kind of movie do you like?
Please teach me good one.
Thank you, members!
See you.

Hi, everyone.
Today, it is hot, isn't it?
I heard about the movie 'Campaign'.
After the movie was released at the film festival, many foreigners ask the director 'Why does a candidate shoute only his or her name in the election' Japanese election campaign is enigmatic for them, even for me.
Today, on CNN program, it featured wives of president candidates. (precisely, not only wives but husband )Among them, Obama's wife is prominent, she looks a candidate. However, It's So What?? for me.
Sunflower, thank you for your explaining hypothermia in detail, and have a nice day with your parents.
See you on Sunday, everyone!!
Hi, everyone!!!
How are you? Fine? Excellent.
I am very glad to hear that you saw the movie you really wanted to. It’s always exciting to see a good movie, isn’t it?
I really appreciate your asking us what kind of movies we like, Cherry. I love movies which depict humanism, human power, courage, friendship, etc. etc. Two of the most impressive movies for me so far are Tess of the d’Urbervilles directed by Roman Polanski and Of Mice and Men.
According to a certain article on the web, Polanski says, “I had always wanted to film a great love story but what also fascinated me about this novel was its preoccupation with the vicissitudes of fate. The heroine has every attribute that should make for happiness—personal beauty, an engaging personality and a spirited approach to life—yet the social climate in which she lives and the inexorable pressures it exerts upon her gradually entrap her a chain of circumstances that culminate in tragedy.”
I do like the phrase “the vicissitudes of fate.” What do you think? If you read Thomas Hardy’s novel (1891) before watching this movie, you might find it interesting to compare how well Polanski has transferred the book onto film.
I have found a brief account of Of Mice and Men on the web.
Of Mice and Men is a novella by John Steinbeck, first published in 1937, which tells the tragic story of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced Anglo migrant ranch workers in California during the Great Depression (1929-1941).
The title is taken from Robert Burns' famous poem, To a Mouse, which is often quoted as: "The best-laid plans of mice and men go oft awry (or astray)." The name for the book is an ironic literary allusion to the problems of the main characters, at the same time making reference to an episode in the story in which one physically powerful but developmentally disabled character accidentally kills a mouse while trying to pet it, foreshadowing a manslaughter which will later happen in the same way.
I also like well-directed war movies, all of which end with soul-stirring, touching and dramatic scenes, such as All Quiet on the Western Front, The Great Escape, and The Deer Hunter.
All Quiet on the Western Front is based on a novel by Erich Maria Remarque, a German veteran of World War I, about the horrors of that war and also the deep detachment from German civilian life felt by many men returning from the front.
The Great Escape is a popular 1963 World War II film, based on a true story about Allied prisoners of war with a record for escaping from German prisoner-of-war camps.
The Deer Hunter is a 1978 film that tells the fictional story of a group of American steel workers during the Vietnam War era. Inspired by German First World War soldier and author Erich Maria Remarque's 1937 novel Drei Kameraden (Three Comrades), which depicts the lives of a trio of disillusioned World War I veterans in 1920s Weimar Germany, the film explores the meaning and effects of war, violence and manipulated patriotism on one tightly knit ethnic community. The concepts of ethnicity, honor, family, friendship and community each play a very prominent role.
Motion visual images sometimes convey what human beings are more clearly, strongly and impressively than literal works, not always though.
I hope you like some of the movies I like.
Bye, buy, everyone. Sleep tight.
