Hi, everyone!
How are you today?
Plum, I didn't think you liked such war movies.
I have seen Tess, The great escape, and The deer huntar.
I was also impressed with The deer huntar.
I forgot some details, but can remind the beautifil and melancholic music.
For me, speaking of a war movie, it is Schindler's List.
My favorite one is Thelma & Louise, directed by Ridory Scott.(spelling is not correct)
Come to think about it, I was interested in gendar issues from that time.
When the movie finished, I broke into tears.
I couldn't why, but felt comfortable.
I 'd like to think about what it is.
So, see you tomorrow!

Dear Cherry and friends,
It's a shame. I haven't seen any of the movies both Plum and Cherry mentioned.
Now I am interested in Tess and Of Mice and Men. I avoid watching war movies because they
depress me. Not that I dislike serious movies. They are interesting. I see sad movies when I want to cry.
I remember the story of Thelma & Louise. Maybe I saw it. The story is so impressive that I remember. I think I saw it. I like the woman who acted Louise. She also acted Dead Man Walking and showed up in Actor's Studio several years ago. When I saw her interviewed in that TV show, I came to like her. Yes, this show made me interested in the films she has starred. She often acts a strong woman.
My sister and I are planning to go to the movie, "Maiko haaaaan," which is a slapstick comedy and we can't predict how the story goes.
I don't know if we can go to the movie during the summer holiday.
Good night and have good dreams.

Hi, Cherry!!!
Hi, everyone.
Thank you for letting me know your favorite movie, which is Thelma & Louise. I have heard about the movie, but have never had the chance to see it. According to a number of movie reviews, the movie is highly rated. I also would like to know why you were so moved and broke into tears.
Do you normally go to a movie just by yourself, Cherry? Usually I go to the movies with someone. The last movie I saw at a movie theater is one about Ishii Fudeko, and I watched it with Tada san and Magnolia.
When I was in Auckland, I went out to see a movie with my lecturer friends or my fellow students. But I saw Carrington and The Bridges of Madison County, separately though, at a cinema house near the university. (My daughter said that she cried over the latter movie, but I did not. It was just a sentimental and melodramatic love story to me. Have you seen it?) On Tuesday night the admission fee was discounted, and I think I paid just 6 dollars for each of these movies. At that time I was house-sitting for my supervisor who went back to Japan on leave, and her place was very close to the university. Before I moved to it, I lived with a Dutch woman who divorced her French husband and migrated to New Zealand. She was an absolutely excellent cook and knew how to cook fish in a European fashion, since she said her former husband was such a gourmand. She invited me to dinner once a week, mainly on Friday night, and talked about how afraid she was of German soldiers who, sort of, broke into her parents’ house during the war time. (She was 73 when I met her.) She said that she worked for Lufthansa as a flight attendant and came to Japan before the start of WW II. She also said that she found a cute little kitten in Africa and put it in a little basket and brought it into Holland clandestinely. Of course it is strictly forbidden around the world to import any live animal from another country without reporting it to the immigration bureau. So, the good old days???
It’s getting late. I think I have to go to bed now. Good night, Cherry. Good night, everyone.
P. S.
Thank you for telling something more about the movie Thelma & Louise, Alice. After you see the movie Maiko haaaaan, just let us know your impression of the movie. I’m looking forward to your review.
Dear Plum, Cherry and friends,
Plum, of course I will let you know my impression after seeing the movie.
You made me wonder what kind movies I have seen recently. I go to the cinema once in several months.
My membership from a DVD rental store has expired a few years ago.
Recently, my parents and I found us have seen a series of unbelievably invincible Nemuri Kyoshiro and have memorized his words when he uses the ultimate waza. "You will see your face reflecting on the sword before you die." I'm tired of seeing this series because all the women in them such as Tamao Nakamura act stereotyped women. They are beautiful but stupid or weak. Some are obedient, others are provocative. They hardly think deeply.
A Memoir of Geisha (Sayuri) was one of the two movies I saw at Canadian movie theaters. I like romantic stories but the movie was not as good as its audio book. The audio book is narrated by an actor. She played many characters in the original novel from young Sayuri to a disgusting old doctor who was the customer of tea house (chaya). She was such an excellent voice actor that I was looking forward to seeing the movie. But it was not as impressive as the audio book.

Dear friends, Magnolia finally came back again.My cumputer security was too severe or tight to let me in the blog, so I loosened it. I hope from now on I can send my message.
As for the movie topic, I also enjoyed Thelma & Louise which was the debuet of Brad Pitt, who played a very small role, a boyfriend at the motor inn. Did anyone notice that? He was very young, but sexy and attractive.
I admired both women's courage to go on their adventure escaping from the house choirs.But the end was really tragic, which shows us that women's dream never comes true.
Today I went to listen to Bev sensei's lecture concerning the movie "Lomeo & Juliet." I learned many things that it was not Shakespear's original story but he took it from Italian poem and that
the story took 3 years to be written, but the story was about only 4 days' events. Did you know that? It was really an eye opening lecture and I enjoyed a lot.
See you.
Magnolia
Hello, my friend
Hello, my friend
Dear everyone,
This is my first mail. Do you like comicbooks? I have been thinking reading comic books is a little childish. When I look back, I was really into comicbooks or TV anime when I was an elementary school girl. When did I change my likes and dislikes? When I talk with my son, the number of common topics is getting smaller and smaller.
Anyway I want to have my heart wide open.
Dear Cherry and friends,
Telma & Luise sounds interesting.
I’ll check it ! As for the movie the Bridge of Madison,
I didn’t think it was interesting, too. It was like a soap opera.
I had expected too much. I’m afraid I am not so romantic person.
I watched Tsukigami last Sunday. There are three kinds of god,
Bimbo-gami, Yakubyo-gami and Shini-gami. The idea of god who is attached to people is really Japanese. These gods can be transferred to other person. Hero (Tsumabuki Satoshi) was attached by these gods one by one. Bimbo-gami and Yakubyo-gami are transferred to other person. Shini-gami can leave him, but the hero refused. He choses to die.
Hello, Cherry and friends,
I wonder if someone puts some messages in the blog.
Dear Cherry and friends,
Yes, in junior high schools and elementary schools where my children go, the head of PTA is male. Representative of mothers is, of course, female. In highschool, they have a female head of PTA, though. In Japanese socety, such fixed notion has been prevaiing. We (I) have accepted it.
The latest blog seems to have a nice flavor or small. I can imagine the taste of these dishes, which makes me happy!
I prefer Guam to Saipan. Before going there, I didn't think these two places are differnt. It was different. Saipan people seems to keep sad memories more. Number of Japanese who visit Saipan to mourn is still large. The purpose of visit is different. If you want to enjoy the place as a resort, Guam is better.
Good night, everyone
Guam.Saipan has more premitive
Dear Cherry and friends,
Autumn air is so clear and sky is so high. Cherry, Aikidou for female sounds interesting. I am interested in Japanese martial arts. Many foreign people are interested in them. Some of them once asked me about Karate. I was very annoyed and sad because I have had no experience. (Azalea had done judo!) Plum, I love zenzai, too. I’ll make it. I cooked sukiyaki for dinner today.
Last time I put eggplant in it. It was good.
Good night
Dear Cherry and friends,
It is Saturday, April 19. It's sunny. I wonder if we have another blog member....Today let me write about Korea. About 5 years ago I went to Korea. I visited Nandai-Mon. It is also a subway station, where lots of souvenior shops lined up. There I saw not a few Korean girls or Mon and a daughter walking with their arms thrown the other's. It seems very natural and intimate. Young Korean girls have smooth and fair skin. Someone taught me it is because of their diet, more red pappers like kimuchi. Plastic sergery, I hear is also more popular there, which surprised me and am convinced of it because young girls over 20 were evenly beautiful. I met a girl student who trid to speak to me in Japanese. She seemed to have an interest in Japanese culture like music and movies. My friend and I went to a crystal bath, whose walls are covered with amethyst, purple crystal and got Korean women massage, Akasuri. Someone set fire to Nandai-Mon, which is really sad.
