It is a thrilling and moving movie.
This is the most interesting movie I have seen recently.I become a fan of Machilda. Her smile is very cute. Her fashion and hair style is very cool. Leon is a "cleaner". It means a killer but he is a very tender person. He helps Machilda who live the next door to his room. Her family is killed by drugs ban official. She decides to revenge for her younger brother. Leon and Machilda decide to live together. Their strange life is really interesting and thrilling. The fighting scene is also very thrilling. Their pitiful feeling toward each other is moving.In the climax scene, I was very moved.I want you to watch this movie.
Love Letter (1995)
This is a great and painful story
This movie draws the main character's mind delicately.The flashback of the love between Hiroko and his fiancé Itsuki is very beautiful.The choice of sound track is also great. The story is of course interesting. The exchanging letters between Hiroko and her Fiancé Itsuki's classmate Itsuki she has exactly same name with her fiancé is interesting.This movie draws Hiroko's jealousy well.This movie tells me that how good the letter is. Now we almost use e-mail, we hardly write letters.When I watched this movie, I wanted to write a letter.This movie is really delicate, beautiful and great love story I think.I want to see this movie again someday.

Whacked (1998)
Strange but interesting movie
This short movie is very thrilling and exciting. We can hear the noisy ambulance siren and strange sounds, and many people in the city fall down suddenly.This sound and the scene which focused on the move of the man's sharp eye give me fear.The structure of this short movie is also interesting.We cannot know what this sound is and what the movie means till last, so we are attracted by this movie with thrill.This is a story about the revenge of a man who was stressed by his boss.The way in which he takes revenge on his boss is really unique,and I could not imagine it. In the last scene, I could understand what he tries to do,and at the same time, I got a strange feeling. Once you see this short movie,you will not get rid of this feeling.I have never seen a movie like this. I think this is a thrilling,exciting and strange movie.
