Prison Break

I like watching Hollywood films. Especially I like action films. On the other hand, I seldom watch foreign dramas, but I know this drama. That’s why my friend recommended to me before. Then I watched it and I liked it. The title is Prison Break. This drama is made by FOX and it was broadcasted around the world. It is famous in Japan too, so I want to write about this drama.

 I want to introduce the first season of the drama. The main characters are Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows. Michael is the hero of this film. He worked as an architect before and he is very smart. His IQ is 200, so he is a genius. Lincoln is Michael’s brother. He is always looking for a fight, but he cherishes his family.

 One day, Lincoln is falsely accused. He is detained on suspicion of assassination. He is suspected for killing the brother of vice president of America. The judge sentenced him to death. But Michael believes Lincoln is innocent. Then he thinks he saves him. He lays out a plan. He commits robbery on purpose to enter the prison where Lincoln is detained. He plans prison break with brother.

 My favorite scene is when Michael shows tattoo. He can’t bring a design drawing into the prison, so he has tattoo of the design drawing of the prison on his body. I thought he is cool when I watch the scene. We can feel his determination from it. If I was a hero, I couldn’t do that. The after story is told in next series, so you should watch it if you want to know the continuation. Anyway, I was moved by their bond after I watch them. I think this drama is really moving, so I recommend watching it to anybody.

 Let’s prison break.

BR 2-17: Sam's new flat

“When you get used to the idea, you’ll start to feel better” p,28

  I want to introduce a thoughtful book this time. This is the best book that I have read ever. Main character is a girl, Sam. Her mum and dad didn’t want to live together anymore, but they both wanted to be with Sam. After all, Sam and her mum moved to a new flat. When she had told them how unhappy she was about them arguing all the time, that didn’t mean she wanted them to split up. She felt it was all her fault. She thought she had not said anything. Then Sam went to the park and was sitting on the roundabout. When a boy, Donut came to there and asked her “Is something wrong?” He looked her really fed up. Happened many things, she told him the truth. Then he said “Everyone else’s parents live together, but not quite everyone’s” He laughed. The truth, his dad is not real dad. Finally, he said the lines “When you get used to the idea, you’ll start to feel better” I was moved and thought many things. The story goes but I wanted to tell everyone this lines. It was great book. You should try it.

MR5: Much ado about nothing

 I found a fantastic movie. The title is “Much ado about nothing”. This means to make a fuss about nothing. It is a America-England co-production movie made in 1993, and a movie version of “Shakespeare”. It was a great box-office success. This movie is old, and it was made in 1993 is when I was one year old. I was very surprised. I remember I felt happy when I watched this movie. I would like to write about it from now.

 

 This movie is based on Toscana, Italy. Many characters appear in this story. Margaret and Ursula, Hero, Antonio, Beatrice are Leonato’s family. They live in the rural districts. One day, they enjoy a picnic. Then Don Pedro of Aragon comes there to tell them he returns in triumph. They are glad at the news, and the village makes much ado about it. Claudio and Benedick and Don John of the party arrives the village and meets Leonato’s family.

 

Claudio and Hero take a great fancy to each other, also Benedick and Beatrice like each other. Don John doesn’t like it, in fact. Claudio and Hero decide to get married to each other. Preparations for the wedding ceremony are under way, but John does a bad thing and entraps Hero on the eve of the ceremony. Pedro and Claudio think that Hero has done something wrong because of it. Claudio is shocked and scolds Hero. John is bad man.

 

 My favorite scene is when they become happy. After the matter, a policeman makes the subordinates of John confess. Claudio knows what John did and understands the truth. After everything, Claudio and Hero get married. I was very moved by the scene. In addition, Benedick and Beatrice get married too. I was moved more. This story ends happily. If you have never watched this movie, you should watch it. I think you will be happy.

MR4: Monsters Inc.

 I like animation movies very much, so I would like to introduce one of them today. The title is “Monsters, Inc”. This movie was made by Disney & Pixar, so many people must know it. As its title suggests, this movie is set in a monsters company. The main characters are Sulley and Mike. Sully is big and a blue monster, and Mike is small and a green monster. Mike works as Sulley’s partner and he is one eyed. They make a good combination. In the story, monsters incorporated gathers children’s screams and converts them into energy for monster city. I thought it is a very interesting idea. Just to know the setting, we want to watch it again, I think.

 

There is a rule in such monsters city. It is that monsters must not take children into monsters city. That’s why monsters think children are dangerous, but one day, an incident happens. When Mike does overtime, he finds a little girl. If the Children Detection Agency finds about it, the city into a panic, so Mike and Sulley bring her to their apart for a while. Sulley is afraid of her, but looking at her sleeping face, he has a feeling of wonder. What will they do?

 

The most memorable scene is when Sulley becomes attached to the girl. He takes a liking to her. He breaks the law nobody else has ever broken “Don’t love a human child”. I was very moved by the scene. This scene is able to stir someone’s emotions, I think. Monsters Inc depicts the friendship between monsters and a human well. As I see it, many people will like this movie by the sly description. According to some movie, the sequel to Monsters, Inc will be released in the near future. To watch them, how about trying to set foot in the monsters world?

MR3: Twilight

To tell the truth, I don’t like this movie, twilight. But maybe I have watched this before on Friday or Sunday road show. I remember I didn’t like it, but I have a memory of the contents of it. I want to write about it. As far as I know, many people like this movie. This movie is a dramatized version of a novel, and the novel was a best seller. In short, this movie draws on a romance of a high school girl and a vampire. I don’t like vampires and romance very much, so I don’t care for movies like this. To return to the topic, the heroine of this movie is named Bella. She is a high school girl and came to folks to start new life with her father when she was seventeen. One day she sees a beautiful man named Edward. He creates a very special atmosphere and his appearance is so cool. She does nothing special but he avoids her and takes up a hostile attitude. She can’t understand it. Why does he do such a thing?

 

My favorite scene is when he reveals his true character. I remember I was surprised by it when I knew the truth. As you have guessed right, he is a vampire in fact. Do you know vampires? They are demons that suck people’s lifeblood. It is really scary. I think Bella was surprised and scared too at first. This is why he avoids her and takes up a hostile attitude. I could know that when I watched the scene for the first time. He wants her lifeblood, so he does that. The fact was beginning to soak in when I watched. It is very interesting. I think it is a good point of this movie. We can enjoy this by thinking who he actually is, Surprisingly, later she thinks she wants to be a vampire. Why does she think so? It is very important for us to know their relationship understanding the story. Anyway this movie describes a romance and a mystery well. It is a reason this is famous.

What will become of us if we see a real vampire? If you want to know that, you should watch this movie.

Drumline

 

 I watched this movie this time and I liked it very much. I knew of it, but I had never watched it, but I wanted to watch this. The story of this movie is about marching bands. I don’t have a musically talent but I thought I want to play some instruments after I watched the movie. I felt this movie is very energetic and beautiful. Anyway I was so excited, so I’d like to talk about it.

 

The main character of this movie is Devon. He is very handsome so I like him. He lives in Manhattan and has a special talent of marching drum. He was discovered by a college of Atlanta. I remember I was excited by the scene. I envy him because he has a talent. I want some talents. He joined the team and, he put other teammates to shame because he was so good at drum. Also he got a girlfriend, but he was selfish. That means one of the greatest problems in his human relations was self-centered behavior. I suppose he couldn’t help it, but I don’t like such self-centered thinking. I think we should live in harmony. He had a problem but then reformed and worked as drummer.

 

 My favorite scene of this movie is when Devon and Sean have become reconciled. Sean is the leader of the team Devon joined. Sean didn’t like Devon because of his swanky attitude. I hoped they will make it up soon when I watched the scene of fight between them. I think that people who have watched this movie can understand it. Everybody must think that this is the most memorable scene of the movie. To tell the truth, I was close to tears when they have become reconciled. You should have a look this. I’m glad if you watch and learn something from this movie.
