Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Thrilling but interesting
This is the second continued story of "The Terminator". This fact tells that The Terminator series is famous and popular one. Actually, I have seen the first movie, which was recommended by my mother. I noticed the difference compared to the previous movie. One thing different from the first one is that there are two crazy men, the terminators. One terminator is the same person as in the previous one and the other is not. The new terminator looks for one guy to catch him. The main character is required to save the guy. This movie is a very thrilling. This is the biggest point of this series. We will not be bored while watching The Terminator. Moreover, one thing I thought interesting is how the main character has changed from the previous story. He kills human before for nothing, but now he tries to save human.This makes the story more moving than the previous story.
Anyway, this is a story of two iron men who are very different from each other even though both are very powerful. The viewers should watch the previous story first and see what has changed of the main character and what is similar.
Annie (2014)
Love it
Annie is a little orphan girl, who is looking for her parents every day. She lives in an orphanage with other girls. One day, when she is chasing a running dog, she is hardly run over by car. The person who helps Annie is Will Stacks, the mayor of New York City. He is evaluated by what he did. So as to get more votes, he and his secretary welcomes Annie to their palatial residence, and start living together. Annie knows that he is doing for the election, but for her, it is a good way to look for her parents too. How will the relationships be in the end? Can Annie find her parents? This movie is the remake version, and the previous one is shown a long time ago. Actually, I knew Annie, but I didn't have the opportunities to watch, so it was my first time. I was asked to watch this movie, and also I rent this DVD and watch a few times. I really like it. The story line is very good, and heartwarming. Also, since this is musical movie, about 10 songs are included. They make me very fun to watch, and didn't feel bored at all. I totally like everything.
Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)
Realistic
Ted Kramer is a man who is spending his whole time working although he has wife Joanna, and a child Billy. Joanna takes care of little Billy, and do housework. However, she wants to get a job actually, and decides to go somewhere alone. Suddenly, without Joanna, Ted and Billy start to live together. Ted doesn't know a lot of things like how to make French toast. Ted comes to do so many things that he has not done before. It is such a hard work for him, but they are getting closer and closer compared to before. One and a half year passes by, Joanna comes to Billy back. She decides to try a trial. How will they be in the end? The reason why I watched is my friend recommends me to watch. As my friend told me, it is worth watching, because the theme is family. We can understand the story easily, because it is related to every person. After I watch it, I come to think what the important thing it is, and if I were in the same situation as Billy, what I would think and feel. I want to recommend this to my friend too.
Intouchables (2011)
Beautiful
In France, there is a white man Philippe who cannot move his body because of the accident, and is sitting on the wheelchair in a daily life. He lives in a rich mansion with his secretary Magalie. They need someone to help them. One day, when they are trying to find a person, a rude black man Driss comes there. However, his purpose is not to get a job. He just wants him to sign in to prove that he has been in unemployment line. Philippe doesn't think the other candidates are good, and he sets his eyes on Driss. He comes to work as a helper of Philippe, and starts to live together. Helping him every day is not an easy task. How will their relationships in the end? What will they do together? Actually these are what I was thinking before I watch it. For me, it is really touching, and I think it must be great that totally different two men are being together, and manage to do things. What is more, this movie is based on the real story. I am lucky to see such a beautiful movie.
Big Fish (2003)
Title's nice
There is a man Will living with his wife. His father Edward is always telling some interesting exaggeration talks to people around him. Even in the wedding of Will, he is like this. Will doesn't like such stories so much, and he is on bad terms with Edward. However, suddenly he hears that Edward fells down, and will die soon. Then he and his wife go to the hospital where his father is staying. Will is going to find the fact related to Edward's talks, and realizes something new. I don't tell the ending, but probably, it was my first time to see this kind of movie. I don't know how to explain, but it might be fantasy and something. It is interesting to watch, because two types of stories such as real one and imaginary one are in it. What I was surprised is the title "Big fish". Of course, there are some scenes related to fish. But it has different meaning, which is big talk. When I know the exaggeration talk is as same meaning as fish talk, I thought how things are going well. I don't know much about his movies, but the film director Tim Burton is such a famous person, and I thought his creative ideas are very nice.
Speed (1994)
Face to explosion
One day, there is a big explosion in the elevator of very tall building located in Los Angeles. A lot of passengers are kept in it, and they are panicked. Then, fortunately, Jack and Hary belonging to the SWAT helped them. However, Jack receives a phone call from the criminal. He says that he leaves bomb on a bus, and if the bus cannot keep the speed of 50 miles, the bomb would explode. Jack gets on that bus,but a passenger who thought Jack comes to kill us, suddenly fires. It goes to the driver, and one of the passengers called Annie starts to drive instead of him. With many troubles, they come to know who the criminal is. I am shocked to see one scene. After watching it, I thought I was thinking just like the way of what the character think. As the title says, this movie has many scenes which tell us the SPEED. I like the contents of the story.
Se7en (1995)
scary crimes
In America, one day, a dead man is found in an unusual style. He is surely obesity, and the reason for his death is that he is forced to keep eating food. Near the dead body, there is a message from him, saying "GLUTTONY". Then, two detectives stand to solve the incident, but it doesn't end. Similar murders happens repeatedly, and the victims always tell them some messages by writing. It has seven crimes according to the title, but how will it go to the end? I thought it is very shocking, and has a lot of scenes that makes us surprising. For me, I can watch, because I like that kind of mystery, but some people might be struggle watching it. Anyway, I am surprised by its end!
The Hurt Locker (2008)
Facing to danger
In Iraq, there are people who work as an American bomb squad during the war. They don't know when to die. It means they are always facing to the death. Although they are in such situations, they keep cutting the wire. It is their job. A man called James is a specialist. He has a lot of experiences, and doesn't make mistakes. However, she doesn't have cooperative personality. It makes people around him wonder him. They face many dangerous situations, but of course it doesn't go well every time. First of all, I like the title, "The Hurt Locker". I heard from my friend that it has mainly two meanings. One is the days with struggling. The other one is coffin. I don't know the answer, but I think to decide the title is very important, and interesting. And, the scenes are really powerful. I cannot explain well, but I thought the actor must be very hard. It is very cool.
Léon (1994)
Cool
There is a man called Leon, and he is working as a killer. One day, he meets a beautiful girl called Matilda. She is 12 years old girl, but seems older than what she is. Although she lives with her family, they don't have good relationships. Then, when she is out to buy some milk, all of her family members are killed because her father is related to selling drugs. She is so shocked to see what happens, and decides to be a killer like Leon for the revenge of her little brother Michael who is really loved by Matilda. Matilda asks Leon to teach her how to do the things, and she starts to teach how to write and read for Leon who doesn't have such abilities. By living together, they come to know each other. After I watched, I was really inspired by their love. They are not in the relationship of father and daughter, but I think they have something that cannot be explained by us. I thought of what love is. Anyway, I like this kind of movie, and it was very cool.
The Sixth Sense (1999)
Be a repeater
There is a man called Malcolm who works as a doctor to care children's mental. He has wife, but they don't have good relationships. One day, he meets a boy Cole who has unusual ability. He can see dead people in a daily life. After he tells this secret to Malcolm, he comes to be relieved a little bit, but of course he seems scary. When they notice that those dead people tell him what they want to tell them, they started to do something instead of dead people. The secret is not told except Malcolm, but Cole decides to tell it to his mother, and they come to have good relationships each other. It means Malcolm manages to cure his illness. For me, on the whole, it was so surprising that I think I want to watch it more and more. I think that is why so many people watch it a lot. As my teacher recommends me to watch, I would like to do the same thing to my friends. It is well-created, and the quality is really high. I really like the movie, but it is a little scary.
La rivière du hibou (1961)
Fearful
A man who is short and a bit fat is on the bridge surrounded by many soldiers. He is about to be killed by hanging. He remembers his good days with his wife, but suddenly he is dropped to the river. By struggling in the water, he manages to take strings off from his body, and starts swimming to not be taken by them. They aim guns at him many times but he still swims and after that he starts running happily, because he thinks he can see his sweet wife. Finally, he meets her after a long escape. When he tries to kiss her all of a sudden. the scene changes to before dropping into the river. I like the ending of the movie. Although it doesn't have any dialogue, I think everybody can understand the contents. so it is easy to get the meaning.
Porcelain Unicorn (2010)
Worth thinking about its meaning
In 1945, Germany, there is a boy looking for something in the old house. As he walks in the dark, he finds something by turning on a flashlight. There is a girl sitting freezing. She gives him a small ornament, a white unicorn. However, suddenly some German soldiers break windows, and come into the house with guns. The boy says to her to get away. She might be safe, but he is found by them, and gives what he has in his hands a "unicorn". Although it is a precious thing, they break it. It is kind of a sad story of the war, but I like the heart warming ending after the war is over.It makes me think what the meaning is of white unicorn.
Stanley Pickle (2010)
what is NORMAL
There is a boy named Pickle. He has family, and spends normal life in house. However, he has never been outside. Around him, there are a lot of things moving like robots. He always sees a girl playing with her bird from his room. One day, he saw her making a hall to put her dead bird in with sad face. Then he thinks he should encourage her, and goes outside to pick the bird up, and bring it to his room. What does he do to make her happy? Will she be happy because of his action? Are things happening around him really normal? I like the story, but I thought that if it happens in real world, it must be so scary.However, I really think the creator has very good ways of thinking.
The Breakfast Club (1985)
Makes us think
One day, five students are gathered in holiday school, and are forced to write essays about what they are. A teacher told them not to talk, and not to go somewhere. However they started to know each other like who you are, and why you are here in the limited classroom. By being together all day long, they are coming to know about themselves. I couldn't think of how it will end, and what message the movie wants to tell us, but I finally got the idea, so I would like to recommend you to watch it!! It makes me think who I am, and how I should be. I like the way to describe characters's mind, especially the expression of each characters. This movie makes us think about ourselves so deeply that I would like to recommend this.
Bara prata lite (1997)
What if it would happen...
There is an old man who seems to be retired from car company. He seems he doesn't have his own family, and being alone all day. Since he wants to talk with someone, he sometimes go to his previous work place, but workers say not to come. Moreover, in order to talk, he calls many people at random, and a woman comes to his house to talk about her country. He is happy to have a person to talk with, but he gets angry easily, so the woman comes to be afraid of him. What will happen in the ending? Before watching everything, I expected how it will end. My idea is kind of right, but it has more surprising ending! I wish there were no men like him in a real world.
