Three Days in Kamakura (2012)
power of children
A married couple, David and Keiko, are on indescribable bad terms. Keiko looks sad and spiritless. On the other hand, David is a calm and kind person working hard at an English nursery school. The couple don't have children. One day, Jay, who is half-Japanese and half-Western and one of David's student, doesn't go home because his mother does't pick him up. David takes him to his house. They enjoy playing together. David tells Keiko his thought that he wants to bring up Jay as their child, but Keiko opposes him. In the end, Jay's father comes to pick up him.
Jay plays an important role restoring the stained relationship between David and Kiko. Three days spent with Jay in Kamakura change them. I can see the relationship of the couple change distinctly. The reason is Jay. I think children have magical power which adults can't have. I was moved by the scene, in which Keiko tells David "I'm always with you" in Japanese.
Annie (2014)
"Annie"
"Annie" is a film adaptation of Broadway musical. This story is about Annie, who is an orphan and believes and waits her parents, and Stacks, who is a CEO of the cellphone company and a candidate for a mayor in NY. Stacks and Annie live together in his extremely high apartment. At the beginning, he takes advantage of her for the election campaign to rise his popularity. Annie gradually causes him to change his mind, and he makes decision to take her on as his daughter. But, Annie is taken away by sham parents. Stacks tries to take back her.
When it comes to "Annie", many people think of tomorrow, of course I love it. But I was touched by "The City's Yours", song by Jamie Foxx and Quvenzhane Wallis in the helicopter. I can see that their relationship becomes deeper. Their harmonies are pretty good. This movie includes laughter and tears. Also, I think Cameron Diaz plays good role in the movie.
Eien no 0 (2013)
Greatest movie ever
I have no movies which I shed tears so much with an impression ever. This movie is one of my best movies. I was overwhelmed the large-scale. In the movie, I felt like riding the Zero.
The story begins that Kentaro and her sister know the fast they have another grandfather with a blood relationship, Kyuzo Miyabe, who died in the WW2. They visit veterans of Miyabe to know who he was. A screen flash back from the present day to those days during WW2. Miyabe has a tenacious clinging to life. He is considered as a coward because everyone at that time thinks it is an honor that they die for their country. Miyabe always has consideration for his wife, daughter, comrade and following. I think he acts like that at the last scene because of the consideration.
This movie must be watched forever, especially for young age. We have to remember the tragedy of the war. Even during the war, I see there is a beautiful love.
Sister Act (1992)
Funny and happy movie
"Sister Act"(1992) is a comedy movie and made in the USA and became a big hit. The main actor is Whoopi Goldberg. She is a club singer. One day, she witnesses an incident of murder. She finds herself in a situation where she is pursued by gangs, so she is given refuge in an religious house. In that place, she has to behave as a sister. She can not stand living strict and boring life. She is appointed the conductor of a choir which is not good at singing. Through singing, she develops friendship with other sisters and the superior. I really enjoy this movie. The performance of the choir makes me happy. They not only sing strongly but also dance. I think I want to go to a convent every time if such a choir sing. I am impressed with the friendship between Deloris and other sisters. Through singing, Deloris change her personality. I think singing has special power.
The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
Love "The Devil Wears Prada"
"The Devil Wears Prada" is directed by David Frankel and released in 2006. The main character Andrea, who is acted by Anne Hathaway, dreams to be a journalist and moves to New York from the countryside. She gets the job as the assistant for Miranda, the great chief editor of a fashion magazine Runway. The job is said a million girls would die for job. The problem is Andrea does not have interest in fashion. Miranda is the very devil. She asks Andrea to work not only about jobs but also private. Andrea keeps trying to do well to be close to her dream of working for Time New Yorker. Working with Miranda, Andrea finds what is important to her. This movie gives power and happiness for all working women. It is difficult to balance your jobs and loves. However, the both is important. Also, I like acting of Meryl Streep. She is so matched the character. Evaluated her acting, she was nominated the performance by an actress in a leading role and awarded with the Golden globe for best actress.
