Lifted (2006)
Two contrasting aliens
This is a story of two aliens. In many movies, aliens are expressed uncannily, or sometimes, they are enemies of humans. But in it, the aliens are expressed amusingly. One of them is a probationer and he is not good at lifting things. In the last scene, he crashes the UFO on the human boy's house. The other one is a teacher and is trained in controlling the UFO. There is a scene that he tries to encourage the probationer, so the contrast between two aliens is very interesting. This is only a five-minute movie, but the structure is clear and the story is well organized.

Naomi comes to learn many things through the life with her. This is not only a story of one girl's growing but also an old woman's last story. The scene of Japan's countryside is also beautiful.

Tokyo! (2008)
Interior Design Review
This is a story that a woman who does not know her value of being finally discovers it unexpectedly. The ending is avant-garde, so it does not have reality, but expresses recent youth's troubles. In this story, the woman becomes "a thing" and decides to live as it is, but I felt sad because no matter how people cannot find their value, everyone should have a value more than that of a thing. Maybe, the screen writer makes you feel so and tries to let you think of your value severely.
