Movie Review#OCEANS

I watched OCEANS at the movie theater. It is the documentary movie about the sea. The navigator is Rie Miyazawa. She is the famous actress in Japan.

“What is sea?” A boy asked so to an old man. He could not answer. The story was started by this question. Can you answer? There are many fishes and marine animals in this movie. These are our friends because we live in the earth with each other.
Human killed many marine animals. We should stop the excessive hunting.

We can learn about life of the earth I think.
I recommend you this movie! I think you should watch the movie at the theater. I guess you can feel like you are in the sea.

Movie Review#6 [Whale Rider]

“In ancient, Paikea the brave man came from Hawaiki riding on a whale. Māori　is his descendant.” This is a legend of Māori. This is a movie about a girl of Māori and a male-dominated Māori society.

Paikea Apirana is an only granddaughter of Koro Apirana. Pikea had the same name with the traditional brave man. She was called “Pai”. Her mother and twin brother was died when she was born. Koro Apirana was the head of Māori. His son went out to German because he was grieved at the death of his wife and son. He should bring up his granddaughter with his wife. In this tribal society, it was a man only that was able to be the head of Māori and it was hereditary. Koro was not like Pai because she was a girl and she was his only descendant. But he loved Pai pure. But Pai lost heart because she was liked by her grandfather.

When Pai was 12 years old, her father came back to the hamlet. Koro hoped him to be the next head of Māori, but his son was not say “Yes”. Pai decided to go out from the hamlet with her father because she thought Koro thought distasteful for her. But she heard a voice of sea in a car on the road. She returned to her grandfather, but Koro was not changing his thinking. He thought it was sorrow that Pai was not a boy. Well, he opened the school for how to succeed the culture of Māori to only boys. He expected a boy who had character of the head appeared from the school. Pai could not attend to the school because she was a girl. But she was not give up. She learned the traditional songs, dancing, and military art” taiaha” secretly, and her uncle helped her. One day, Pai defeated with a boy who attended to the Koro’s school on a match of taiaha. Koro was angry to Pai very much what she came to the school and use taiaha.

Koro tested the boys. The test was for to be a head of Māori, boys should to pick up a rei puta the necklace of whale tooth in the sea. Koro hurled the rei puta, but the boys could not find it. Koro was sorry, and he was down with the sorrow.
Pai went to find the rei puta in the sea. But her grandmother stopped to give the rei pita to Koro, it was had by her grandmother. And, Pai wanted to get good relationship with Koro. She invited him to the school party; she thought to here her speech for her grandfather.

But, the many whales were on the shore when Pai read the speech. It is big incident. The people and Koro try to back whales to the sea, it was very difficult. When the people gave up trying so, Pai ridded on a whale. Then, the whale returned to the sea, and other whales follow with the whale which Pai ridded. In the time, Pai’s grandmother gave Koro the rei puta. Koro knew the all of things. Pai was helped uneventfully; the people cerebrated to birth of new head of Māori.

I have seen this movie 2 years ago. This movie is very good for education of different cultures understanding I think. I think we can not know about Māori without some Medias. I guess there are many male-dominated societies in the world yet like Māori. I want to go to New Zealand someday. I could enjoy watching this movie.

But Dr. Lee and Sean asked Devon, “Take part to the final round of drum line!” After the heroic drum line, A&T University marching band was winning!

This movie is very interesting for me, because I played clarinet at marching band when I was junior high school student. I think percussion is very important position of the band. And, Devon, Laira, Sean were same years old with me. The thing was reason of I felt easy to watch too. I think the movie‘s view point were important of friendship and growing of Devon. Devon was not good boy at marching band, first. But, he could change because he could meet good manager, good leader, and good friends. A marching band is not good if there is an excellent player in the band.
I studied some important things from this movie. I want to remember this movie when I try to play with my orchestra member.

This is the movie was presented by Disney PIXER 2006. The main characters are cars. Human is not appear. The cars are personified in the movie. The story was unfolded at Route 66, Radiator Springs, America.
Lightning McQueen is a rookie of the racing. He has glittering red body, stickers of yellow zigzag line like “lightning”, and No. 95. “I am fast. I will be able to win sure” he said to him self in his trailer before starting the race. It was all what he is the No.1 for him. So, he is arrogance and a lone wolf.
The Piston Cup Dinaco 400 is very famous racing in the world. If Lightning will be a winner, it is brilliant achievement. It is unparalleled in history because he is a newcomer. Lightning had 2 rivals, King and Chick Hicks.
King is a champion of Piston Cup; he has many trophies of Piston Cup. He has light blue body; light blue is color of Dinoco. Dinoco is very famous oil company in the world, and it is the sponsor of this race. King contracts with Dinoco, the president trust him. He express he will retire with this racing. He has wife, her name is Queen. Chick Hicks has green body, his bumper’s shape is like a mustache. He can not win with King, he is second always. He wants to win in the Piston Cup, and he wish contract with Dinoco instead of King.
The Piston Cup was very exciting race. There were King, Chick Hicks, and Lightning McQueen. Lightning was top of the race. Everybody believed his winning, and Lightning was same too. He was not in his pit although his pit team advised for him. In the front of goal, Lightning’s tires broke. Finally, Lightning, King, and Chick arrived at the same time. Then, they had to take part the final round of The Piston Cup Dinaco 400 at California.
Lightning took Mack the trailer, they run and run without sleeping. He wanted to arrive sooner than King and Chick. Mack was tired very much. At the night, Mack’s door of back opened by a trouble, Lightning was dropped the freeway. Lightning had not light because he is racing car. He tried to find Mack; he could not find him, and lost the way to California. He was thrown into confusion; he run in disorder. He broke the road because he went out of control. He arrived at “Radiator Springs”. It was deserted-looking town. There was not name of the town on a map.
In the courthouse, the people of Radiator Springs were angry to him. Doc Hudson the doctor and justice said “Go out from here now!” But Sally the lawyer and owner of motel said “Do not go out still you will mend the broken road finish”. Sally persuaded Doc and other people. Doc has deep blue body and his shape is Fabulous Hudson Hornet 1951, Sally is light blue body and her shape is Porsche 911 2002. Sally is very beautiful.

First, Lightning mended the road unwillingly. He wanted to go out from Radiator Springs, he mended very sloppy. Doc was amazed at the sight of bumpy road, he said, “Let’s race with me. If you will win, you can go out without mending the road” Lightning was turn on his engine with confidence of win. But the result was loss. Lightning could not curve on the sandy place. Doc said, “You are slovenly on the race and mend the road” Lightning was very vexing.
He knew the people’s kindness; he was changing little by little. He knew what friendship is important on life. Mater the old rusty tow car was kind to Lightning especially. His dream was what takes the helicopter. He has an arch look and cute character. One night, Lightning and mater enjoyed mischief. Mater said, “We are best friends, don't you?” He was the first best friend in Lightning’s life.
One day, Sally asked Lightning to driving. She said, “You need a rest rare” The viewing from Radiator Springs was very beautiful! And, Sally was very lovely in the beautiful sight. Lightning asked her, “Why are you here? Although you are very beautiful and intelligence” He wondered she is attached the countryside although she is flowery. He thought it is good that she works in the city. She said, “Because…I fell in love with this beautiful sight” And, unnoticed Lightning loved Sally.
Really, Doc was super racer; he has many trophies of Piston Cup. Doc was famous racer in the world in the old time. Lightning knew the thing by chance. He wanted to teach how to race well. “You can run fast yet because you have many trophies of Piston Cup!” “Such things are mere ornaments” But Doc refused to take part in racing. Because he was retire by the cruel accident in the racing. Somehow he was cured, but he could not return to racing because there are new racers already. Doc tried to dislike racing because he want to forget the sad memory. It is reason he was prejudiced to Lightning. He did not see Lightning the racing car.
One morning, the road of Radiator Springs was mended finish. Luigi the Fiat500 and Guido the fork lift give tires to him. Ramone the Chevrolet Impala painted beautiful his body for racing. Lightning thought he want to give a reward to people of Radiator Springs. In the night, he was decorated the town with neon, it was like old time. Then, many reporters and cameramen came to Radiator Springs. “Are you McQueen!? Why are you here!!” Mac came to meet Lightning. “I’m sorry McQueen, let’s go to California!!”
In the stadium, there were many people to see the race. “I am fast. I will be able to win sure…..” Lightning tried to concentrate to the racing but he thought about Sally and Radiator Springs people. And, Lightning had not pit team. The racer can not win without trustful pit team. “McQueen!” There were people of Radiator Springs in the pit. There was Doc too, and he gave advice through the microphone. Chick’s pit team laughed to McQueen’s pit team because there was only fork lift, Guido. But Guido changed McQueen’s tires very fast. It was fastest in other pit team.
In front of goal, Lightning was top. Then, King was in accident, he could not move. Lightning went to help King. Chick was winning. “…Why you did not goal?” King said so. Lightning was smile, “My trustful racer said, such thing is mere ornament”

This is very exciting movie. There were many famous people in the movie. Mater is Tomomitsu Yamaguchi and Luigi is Panzetta Girolamo. Their voices are very comical. I think the producer and movie creators were very persevere. The characters are elaborate designs I think.
We can learn importance of friendship when watch the movie.

Movie Review2#Groundhog Day

This movie’s title is translated “Love is Déjà vu” in Japan. “Déjà vu” is French; it means “It has already seen” in English. This movie is the very funny story of a haughtiness man and Déjà vu.
Phil Connors the popular weatherman was very gloomy because he had to do a work once every year, and he dislikes it. It is a report of a festival at rural town. It is an event what the people consult the marmot’s action about coming spring. If marmot will not hibernate however he was take nest box by the chairman of Punxsutawney, spring will coming soon. It is “Groundhog Day” The marmot’s name is “Phil”. Therefore Phil Connors must go to Punxsutawney every winter; it is 4th times for him.
Phil, Rita the producer, and Larry the cameraman went to Punxsutawney. After arrived, they Phil stayed at cottage but Rita and Larry stayed at a hotel. The reason of they were not stay at same hotel was Phil’s selfishness. Rita and Larry were not think good about him. Next day, Phil got up at 06:00am by voice of a radio. “Good morning! It is cold today too……I want to move to Miami, ha-ha.......Today is Groundhog Day!!” Phil talked about Groundhog Day with a plump man, talked about check out with a maid, and talked about insurance with Ned Ryerson; he was blunt in all time. He arrived to the ground of Groundhog Day. And he made progress very lazy. Phil the marmot said the spring will not come yet. “Please smile at least….” Rita said so, but he wanted to back to the City as quickly as possible. “Why should I do such sober work? I am a popular reporter.” he thought so. They finished the making a film of Groundhog Day, went out of the town before the day was out but it was blizzard the night. They could not go out of Punxsutawney, backed to the each cottage or hotel.
In the next morning at 06:00am, the radio in Phil’s room said, “Good morning! It is cold today too……I want to move to Miami, ha-ha.......Today is Groundhog Day!!” Phil thought strange a little, he thought the radio’s voice is a tape yesterday. He went out to outside the door, a plump man talk to him, “Could you sleep well last night? Today is Groundhog day!” “…what?” Phil doubted, down the stairs to have a breakfast. “Do you need coffee?...What time will you go out tomorrow?” a maid talk to Phil about same thing with yesterday “…it is strange” Phil went out to the town. “Phil? Phil? Do you remember to me? I remember you!” Ned Ryerson talked to him. It was same thing before the day too. So, Phil was his right foot into a puddle like before the day too. After that, all things were same with before the day’s things. “It is unbelievable…What happen for me now!?” The phenomenon was continuing everyday. No, it was not everyday, it was every Feb.2, Groundhog Day.
Phil went mad day by day. The tomorrow was not coming to Phil. If he was arrest by a police because he run wild by a car or 0he run away with a money bag of bank… he was in the bed at 06:00am and the radio in Phil’s room said, “Good morning! It is cold today too……I want to move to Miami, ha-ha.......Today is Groundhog Day!!” It is same when he committed suicide. Everyday was boredom for him. He started to listen and help to people for killing time. Someday, Phil became a good man from haughtiness man.
One day, no, “one groundhog day”, Phil think out to make advances to Rita. Phil employed every means to win Rita's heart because he can try any number of times. But she was not said “yes”. She slapped Phil on the cheek. First, Phil thought he want persuade Rita to sleep with him, it is good only that. But Phil felled in love pure for he know about Rita well. Phil had not pure heart when he arrived at Punxsutawney. And, he wanted to understand about him, he did not try to understand about other people. Maybe Rita did not receive him, because she felt it.
Finally, when Phil tried to understand about Rita really, she received him. And in the morning, the radio said the different things with the morning of Groundhog Day.

I knew this movie’s Japanese title from old time, but I watched this first time. I like the scene which Phil took the offensive and he did unreasonable. It is so comical and funny! Then, first, I thought this movie is comedy. But when I watched the story of middle, I felt sad a little. If I will become like Phil when I will get up tomorrow, what do I do? I thought so, I got frightened a little. I think Rita is a very virtuous woman. Why did she understand the difference of Phil although she can not compare yesterday’s Phil and today’s him? She is very intelligent if she can decision men’s good or bad on a day. I should learn after Rita.
I like side characters too. Everyone has characteristic looks and atmosphere. I like Ned Ryerson especially. He is very characteristic. I guess my stress will build up if I will be taken by him everyday because he is very noisy and persistent. Well, he is guileless because he has cute looks. Ned Ryerson is Stephen Tobolowsky. He appear on “The Time Traveler's Wife”, he is a doctor in the film. This movie will be released Oct.24 2009. Why don’t you watch the movie?

“Mr. Incredible” is a story of this STRANGE family.

In old time, there were many super heroes and heroines in this world. Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl had super power; they were super hero and heroine.
Mr. Includible was asked a little boy,”I want to be your partner because I am grate fan!” But Mr. Incredible was in an important mission, he was hard on the boy.
Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl fell in love, and married.
The government ordered to live wearing a mask because there were many lawsuits cause of them. And now, super heroes don’t show their selves to the world…

Now, Bob the insurer helped an old woman. She was in trouble about her insurance, He advised to her how to get the insurance easily. He can not leave a person in some trouble because he is a one-time super hero. But the insurance company is trade too same with other companies. Bob’s customers can get the insurances easily; it is bad for the company on the management. His Boss said “It is not our customers should you save. You must save the company only!” Bob could not be patient, he punched his boss. Bob was fired cause of the force to his boss. He could not say to his wife this fact. And, he hated this NORMARY life. He wanted return the position of super hero. He patrolled occasionally night to save people from danger with Frozone. He was super hero too. Frozone can control ice.
One day, Bob found a letter is his room when cleaned his briefcase. He had not had the slightest about it. It was digital letter; the sender was Mirage. She induced him into the world of super heroes again. She said “Do you want to be a super hero again? If you cooperate with our project, you can be it and we secure your high salary.” Bob wants to be a super hero again like 15 years ago. He could not decide in an instant, he took on the job secretly to his family. There was his mind of guilty what he fired from his company.
Mr. Incredible asked his old friend to make a suit because his suit is old. She is Edna Mode. She is a famous designer; she likes to make clothes for super heroes the best.
Mirage assigns him to a task. He must battle with a very wise battle robot. The robot was very atrocity. It gave Bob a lot of trouble but Bob could break the robot. But it is an experiment to make a stronger robot than Mr. Incredible. He was caught by Mirage’s boss. The name of Mirage’s boss is Syndrome. He was a great fan of Mr. Incredible 15 years ago. So, Mr. Incredible was hard on Syndrome when he was a boy. He want to revenge to Mr. Incredible.
At that time, Helen was worried to her husband. She went to Edna Mode, she suspect Bob having an affair with someone. Edna scolded to Helen, and she said, “Fight to vice with your husband!” Edna made Helen’s hero suit sure, there are clothes for her children.
Helen decided to go to help Bob. She piloted a plane. Violet and Dash followed with their mother secretly. Helen did not want to put her children in danger in really, Helen decided to allow Violet and Dash. And she said, “Use your super power to the best of your ability to save yourself!” First, Violet was bewildered to use her super power because she was forbidden to use her power by Helen. And, she could not have self-confidence. Dash was very happy to be able to use his super power because he was control his power him self. It was stress for him.
Helen, Violet, and Dash could arrive at a room somehow. There was Bob in the room; he was caught by a man. His name is Syndrome. He has said to him so,”I want to be your partner because I am grate fan!” 15 years ago. So, the enemy of Mr. Incredible family is a boy who was despise by Bob 15 years ago. Syndrome has a grudge against Mr. Incredible from that time. He wants to be a stronger super hero than Mr. Incredible. He makes and improves a very wise battle robot. He plots he set the robot loose in the big city and he will break the robot himself at that moment, Syndrome will be super hero surpassed Mr. Incredible.
Incredible family tries to stop Syndrome but at last, the robot was set the robot loose in the big city by Syndrome. Frozone came to family to help. It was a terrific battle. At length, Mr. Incredible family and Frozone was success to break the robot.
It is all settled! …It is not so. They came back to home, there was Syndrome! He holds Jack-Jack in his arms. Family was shocked, but Jack-Jack is a child of super heroes too. He defeated Syndrome and he came back to his mom himself.
Here, it is all settled really.

It is very exciting story. I like the movie’s music too. It is a little aged music; I think it is like “007”, music of 1960’. And, I am impressed with the progress of Computer Graphics techniques.
I like Dash! He is very cute. I can feel exhilarating when I see his very speedy moving. The character’s moving is very comical, funny, and real. I was laugh when I watched the movie at the library alone. But, it is not only funny scene. There is the love of family in the story. It is very important things but it is forgotten at ordinary life. I think this movie’s highlight is the love of family. I watched the movie at the first time, and I don’t watch a cartoon ordinary, but I like this movie.

This is digression, I here; there is Woody of Toy Story in the movie. It is unique rumor. I think it is enjoyable to watch the movie again while looking for him next.
