Essay5 Movie Review ~Romio+Juriet~

I watched "Romeo + Juliet", I thought that this movie was a masterpiece. Although this movie was arranged in the modern version in the original, words and the gist of the story were of course still originals. The famous scenes which promise love mutually in a back yard were still originals. The scene where Juliet who attached feather to the back appears first was very impressive. She was very lovely. But, I like original one better than the modern version. Although the modern version was fresh, the back side of this love story could not be expressed.

I watched at this original story in my introduction to English literature class. The background of this love story has the history of opposing both families and its dignity. The modern version did not have a peculiar atmosphere of Romeo and Juliet. I think that the original was able to express the point. But, the modern version also had good points.

First, the vision and atmosphere were impressive. Although this movie's words and the course of talk is the original, the stage is the modern age. Their everyday wear is aloha shirts, the party which tends to make noise, the inside of a church is colorful and the duel is in the beach, thus, the stage is the modern age. They say the words gravely written hundreds of years ago in this sight. I became to like this fresh gap.

Next, the movie adhered not only to words but to stage props. Although they had a sword in the original, they had a handgun in the modern version. I was surprised at such an idea. The Movie director is based also on such an idea and I think that the movie director did not make words modern languages. I think that the contents of the movie had changed if he made language the modern language.

Last, I felt very fresh the love story by the background was unfolded in the modern age. I think that the movie director would want to tell us this freshness.

Although I seldom counted on "Romeo and Juliet" of the modern version, I thought that such an arrangement was also good. I thought that Shakespeare who made a production which has the remake version made was a wonderful person even if time passes.

Essay4 Movie Review ~Camp Rock~

I watched the movie "Camp Rock" and I got energy and became motivated. I think that the person who saw this movie can get energy. Many music and dances are used in the story and vigor was on the movie. I was able to feel invigoration from the vigor. And, I felt that the last "School of Rock" was resembled for this movie in respect of the rock. The Final scene where they were pumped up for everybody was similar to that movie. Moreover, I think that it was the greatest points that much rock music was used for this movie. I think that this point gave force to the movie.

I have three points which are pleasing in this movie. First points, it is that "youth" was overflowing. I have much uneasiness towards job-hunting activities now. I worry about the job hunting activities every day. But, they were enjoying every day with a "dream" and "hope." Though they had a trouble of love and study, they were doing their best in order to do their favorite thing. I thought that I had to follow after the example of them. I got the message from them "Don't worry but move forward." I got energy from this. Next, Only good music was used for the movie. Though I seldom know about Rock of Western music, the music had tempo and a good music tone, and I also had listened to the music. Three songs which flowed in the last 15 minutes were the highest for me. “This is me” and “We Rock”, “Our Time Is Here”. I am pleased with these three songs. I was especially impressed by "We Rock" sung by all the members. This music also had the dance and "We Rock" was very powerful. After seeing the movie, I listened to music over and over again. Last, I was impressed the conversation with Mitchie and her mother. "It is not necessary to fake oneself because you have many good points." Her mother told Mitchie this word. I thought that this word was applied also to present me. I thought that this was great word.

This movie gave me energy very well. Although I was made to think, I think that was a movie which can be enjoyed with families. I think that I have few grown up , I was able to see a good movie.

Essay3 Movie review ~Kung fu Panda~

I watched the movie "Kung fu Panda" and I thought that this movie was a story which a
child seems to like. I thought that this movie was for children to the same extent as Toy Story. Moreover, I think that this movie can enjoy speediness shapely. This movie was the story which a weak panda is chosen as the Dragon Warrior by chance, reaches to an extreme of the arcana of the roll of a dragon to the end of pursuit of knowledge, defeats bad-fellow”Tairon”, and brings peace to a town. The point which the weakness of the panda was drawn everywhere was a point of laughter.

I introduce my favorite points in this movie. First, this movie had a scene which reminds me of "Dragon Ball" anime of Japan. The scene was mainly a fight. Therefore, I am watching this movie and became a nostalgic feeling. I liked “Dragon Ball” very much when I was a kindergartener and a schoolchild. Therefore, I was seeing this movie with feeling I had when I was watching at "Dragon Ball."

Next, I became to like the character of the leading role's panda "Po." I have liked the hero of "Toy Story" and "School of Rock". Therefore, I was also looking forward to this hero. And I like to him because this hero "Po" was a very individual character. He is a very lovely character and is interesting and weak. He was a character which we would like to protect. I desperately wanted him to become strong. Last, the duel scene in the suspension bridge was the highest. I rooted for "Pau" anyhow. The action scene was expressed well and I was excited. Moreover, graphics were very beautiful and I did not get bored.

I would like to see this movie and to see "Kung fu Panda 2." I think that it was a very good movie. This movie was a story to to see together with a child.

Essay2 Movie review ~School of Lock~

I thought that this movie was a tale "a teacher teaches energetic children about rock as a part of study, and gives them motivation" until I see this movie. Moreover, I thought that what is used are musical instruments at elementary schools, such as a recorder and a keyboard harmonica. But, the contents of the movie were completely different. The story was an unprecedented story about a ruined rock musician who fakes being a substitute teacher, was hidden in an elementary school, constructed a rock band with schoolchildren, and aimed at a local rock contest. I was surprised that advanced musical instruments came out from the beginning.

My first favorite is a hero, “Dewey Finn”, in this movie. I was overwhelmed by the
powerful rock spirit which we can see from his body action which are full of feeling of a lively motion and looks like a rabid dog. I laughed very much, seeing him and had a favorable impression. I came to like the actor "Jack Black" who played such a role, and I thought that I would like to see other movies in which he is appearing.

Dewey was selfish, I got angry in the first part. But, he shows change by teaching
children. He became to think of himself as a partner. Under the influence of him, although children felt formality from their severe parents and their school, they regain brightness. And the most pleasant scene is their performance. At first, only the teacher seems to be pleasant and students made the rock performance boring. But, as for the last scene, all the members were performing happily. The severe parents and principal were also aiding the children. I became very glad, seeing the scene.
I think that this movie is the best musical film that a person can enjoy and can be impressed by.

Essay1- Movie Review ~Toy Story 1~

This movie was full of the love for a toy, and the love to the children who love a toy. The dream like world where a toy moves about is developed and the movie is made to be thought that the movie must not forget such a feeling forever. Moreover, the toys with which I played were made me remember that feeling. Furthermore, the scene where Andy plays with a toy also made me nostalgic. I think that this feeling is universal. We are likely to play with a toy and it is said that growing up with a toy is universal. I will think that it isa dream-inspiring good story, when I grow up and see this movie.

I like the character of Woody and Buzz very much. Woody is little cowardly and Buzz isan idealistic person with the hard head. Both characters are interesting and two unique people. I think, As for the story, it becomes deep and persuasive just because the heroesare two such persons. I thought that the point which an adult and a child can enjoy wasthere. I think that the character setup is wonderful.

Moreover, I think, this is a story of the growth for Woody and Buzz. I feel a lot of what Buzz feels. The feeling when Buzz noticed that he was not a hero but a toy came across tome very much. And, the cry of Woody at that time sounded in my heart. Then, I feel the thrill that the simple action scene when Woody and Buzz are chasing Andy's car from aboy's house was exciting. I also like scenes of the first half where everyone is confuse dabout Buzz and Woody. Although Buzz was not a hero for me, he became a lovely character.

I think that I would like to also see this movie because Toy Story has parts 2 and 3.

Essay 4 Worst day of my life

Today, I introduce the most dangerous day and the saddest day in my life. First, the most dangerous thing in my life happened when I was in the fifth grade of elementary school. At that time, I belonged to the baseball club. We practiced every day, and the practice game was done every week on the weekend and the accident happened in the practice match on a certain day. I went to the stadium as usual, went through my warm-up, and the practice match began.

I was the first batter in the day. And,the pitcher threw out the first ball. I swung the bat and everything became pitch-dark simultaneously as I heard the sound that the ball hits the bat. I realized that my eyes gradually became painful though I momentarily did not understand what happened. The ball had hit my eyes. When I was crouching in the batter's box, the supervisor and the guardian ran up. My eyes were swollen too much and I could not see anything. I went to the hospital at once, and the doctor examined my eyes. My eyes continued to be swollen for about two weeks though no abnormality was found in my eyes, I was told by the doctor. I was told by the doctor that I would have lost my sight if it were not a soft ball but a regulation ball baseball. I was very relieved to hear that. I thought I may come to the hospital at once. The day was a really dangerous day because I might have lost my sight for my entire life.

Next, the saddest day in my life was the day when I did not pass the school of my choice through the entrance exam for the high school. I began to go to cram school when in the second grade of junior highschool. I went to school in the morning, played baseball in the evening; I went to the cram school at night, and it was a hard schedule. I was not able to enter the school of choice though I continued to try for one and a half years. I decided that I worked hard in the high school, and I would go to the university whose examination I did not fail though I was very sad. And, I was able to enter KGU. I was very glad, because the sadness at that time has changed into pleasure.

Essay3 My hometown

My hometown is Kumamoto Prefecture. I know Kumamoto well because I have been
living in Kumamoto since I was born. There is a lot of natural beauty and many
sightseeing spots in Kumamoto. Talking about natural beauty, there are a lot of
famous mountains in Kumamoto. They are famous as both sightseeing spots
and date spots. I will introduce the mountains in Kumamoto.

First of all, I introduce the most famous, which is Mt. Aso in Kumamoto
Prefecture. Mt. Aso is located in the Aso area of Kumamoto Prefecture. It has
an famous large-scale caldera and a magnificent “Gairinzan”, and it is
familiar to many people as symbol of Kumamoto Prefecture. Mt. Aso is the
highest mountain in Kumamoto and it is 1592 meters tall.

Next, Mt. Kinpo is located in the west of Kumamoto City. It has the caldera
like Mt. Aso. The citizens are fond of Mt. Kinpo as the symbol of Kumamoto
City while Mt. Aso, located in the eastern part of Kumamoto Prefecture, is
known as a symbol of Kumamoto Prefecture. The altitude of Mt. Kinpo is the
second highest in Kumamoto and it is 665 meters.

Next, Mt. Hanaoka is located in the northwest of Kumamoto. Mt. Hanaoka
is known as the brother mountain of Mt Kinpo. A Bussyaritou, which is
called a stupa in English, was constructed on the mountain to make a prayer
of the global peace. Only 132.7 meters, Mt. Hanaoka is not so tall, and
because the night view seen there is beautiful, it was chosen as one of the
best 100 Japanese night views.

In other parts of Kumamoto, there are a lot of sightseeing spots that have
beautiful scenery such as Kikuchi Keikoku, Suizenji park, Amakusa, and
Aso farmlands. Also, there are buildings, and Kumamoto castle is famous. I
think the number of tourists increases, and Kumamoto will become more
famous, because Shinkansen opened.
