☆★☆POCAHONTAS☆★☆

One of the best films for me, disney movie which was their first atempt to rewrite a historic event, instead of a fairy tale.

Pocahontas is an Indian, a daughter of Powhatan, ruler of the land the English named Virginia. She is most famous for saving the life of Captain Smith, one of the English pioneers. Also this story based on it. And it includes the romance between Pocahontas and John Smith as main theme, the conflict of two people, Indian and English. It was awarded some prize on the part of music. I like this story and songs which are so beautiful.

This "Pocahontas's story" has been retold many times in many ways. The reason is the evidences of that she was saving his life are only diary by Jhon Smith about 10 years later after it happened. So there are someone who dobut this.

Pocahontas was her childhood nickname, "little wanton,"meaning she playful and hard to control and her real name is Matoaka. It's sure that she is role as a bridge with two nations. She married with English man, Jhon Ralph who meet at English Camp when she was a captive. She was taught Christian and made her changed of heart in that time. She went to England with Rolph and she was welcome by royal. Although her life was short she made a big achievement between two nation.

The disney version isn't true perfectly, I like this story though. She is charactrized so aggresive woman in film and could be true. No one can know the truth which indicates her whole life. I think it's a forbitten history into long history but there are no story that based on the things which had never happend really. If it's not abusolute true, could be thaught important meaning on war and how worse the destory of nature, human nature.

TORA!TORA!TORA!

This is one of the most remarkable nonfiction films for me.
The incledible point is to characterize both Japan and U.S. as the main. It means we can see each side with the way of own thinking in a film, for instance, there are scenes which Japanese decided to attack Pearl Harbor. And also the situation is drawn which U.S. doubt that Pearl Harbor would be attacked by Japan. Abusolutely it can be said this point is woderful because it's difficult to characterize two stories which opposite each other in ONE FILM.
This film supports to understand easily the background of Pearl Harbor Attack. And it made just 30 years after P.H.A!! So I think it could be a sensetional oppotunity for both countries because this story comes from the truth which they experienced and one of the most serious and important topics.
In film the main language isn't just one, it use two, English and Japanese. And there are a lots of scenes which explain each country's stance. It's useful for audience to compare its historical part. This time I could see both side through P.H.A, I couldn't understand the history parfectly though. So I felt the section of tech which I explaind is a wonderful highlight in it.

Lawrence of ARABIA

Thomas Edward Lawrence, one of the important historical characters. He is called "Lawrence of ARABIA" Because he was revolutionist in that time. The first scene begins that the accident with a motorbike caused his death and almost all couldn't image his heavy life just from it. I was surprised at this story and had some kinds of feelings, awful and harsh ...sorrow...

I sugesst the highligh of this film is his expression and feeling, so I mean how to change its well. You should look at his face carefully, for instance, his face has been controled by fear gradually in the latter half of the film. You can also feel his feelings as if experience it yourself as he did.

I felt so harsh because I watched it after "Gandhi" so I compared caracteristic between Lawrence and Gandhi. Especially, there is huge difference on the way of thinkness about the violence. But it's oviously that Lawrence is usual person. I can't mention which is right. The most memorable scene is that he got out the room and it is not any longer there is appearance of him there and a man who followed him sheds tears quietly.

Finally I'd like to say that I don't prefer his character exactly because he run away and said terrible things sometime, however, he fought against very well and it's great memory in the history. And Peter O'Toole's acting was really wonderful.

I found an interesting site. It's written in Japanese but there are included a lot of imformation about films. Please check it!! http://www.actv.ne.jp/~yappi/eiga/eiga.html

It's official HP http://www.pbs.org/lawrenceofarabia/

The Mission

"Mission" What does this word mean?
Which is the best way for natives?

I didn't have any idea before I watch this film. After that I though what's the meaning. It must be an important official job when I saw the tytle. But it includes another meaning, teaching Christianity. I seldom use this word in our culuture. So I didn't notice the meaning of tytle first. There are the lines "I don't know which was the correct way for natives" it means they were killed because they started to have the belief. Father Gabriel taught them "Love". I was shoked that this sorrowful ending because I suggest nothing is so precious than lives in the world. In order to the belief, they lost many lives. The fear is always make fight and break one's culuture. I can't say which is the best way for them. What do you think about it?

And there are many impressed scenes which they are walking around Father Gabriel and they were singing a song with the beautiful voices, and the sorrowful ending. In my opinion it was needed to know the religion, and they were learning the important things, precious, and it could not be nothing the insted. I really want to say the life is precious...

The way to guard natives from the enemy
Gabriel said "Protest them with the way as priest"and he did until his last. There are the scene which he is worried about it with regret, responsibility, and conflict. Because he taugh them belief. Finally he made his mind to be Father Gabriel and theach "Love" until his last. On the other hand Mendoza decided fight against their enemy. He has strongly passion. He killed his brother and determinded to kill anyone never. Also he regarded native as just a slave at first, however, he loves them deeply finally. He decided his way that fight with his force. Gabriel and Mendoza decided that with their strong will. It said that they are contrastive but they have the same meaning for their life.

GOOD BYE, LENIN!☆ You can learn the difference between East Germany and the West.

The title means that how does he protect his mother from the truth.
But who is the person that really believe the existence of East Germany?

The story begins October in 1989. As you know the year before the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Alex has lived in East Germany scince he was born. His father went to the West and he never ccme back. His mother, Christiane is the extreme socialist because of his disappearance.

One day Alex participated in the anti-DDR( East Germany) demonstration. And Christiane encountered the policeman arrested him. So she was shocked and it caused her a heart attack. She went into a coma. Suddenly she awaked eight months later but the doctor said she couldn't live if she suffer from next any shocks. But there are no East Germany that she had believed a long time...due to the unification. Almost all of basic culture were changed and disappeared the products that made in the East. So Alex try hard to create East Germany for his mother and he use all the way for it , however he gradually stick to his own world. And it affects also his personality.

This film showed the difference between the East and West completely. And also I could understand how to change the East. Not only the products but also the consumer goods, content of books, TV, pectures, and it changes the personality, the way of thinkness. I was surprised that soon the East one disappard in there and the culture of West was accepted by the East people. I think it shows the terrible oppression in the East.
There are a lot of point that you would be shocked and notice. What do you think if Japan divided the land into two after the World War Ⅱ? I think Japan would be like Germany and we must not forget Japan had the possibility.
So I recommend this film because you can learn the history about the fall of the Berlin Wall well. It also includes humanity and please try it, and then serch the points that sutimulate us!
