Movie review 5 Mask

I think that a mask is a tool is rarely used in our daily life. And I know that the mask is used by some people when they dance, want to keep secrets, and so on. However, I had not been interested in it. And I had not known this movie very much. This movie is named “Mask”. When I saw the picture of the case of it, I thought that it was a little strange, but it made me be interested in this movie. After I watched it on DVD, I thought that I knew the reason why it has been seen for a long time. So, I am going to introduce the story to you.

There is a man who is a bank clerk. His name is Stanley Ipkiss. He is very kind to all people and always unlucky. One day, when he came back from the party that he was asked to take part in by his friend, he found a mask in the river and took it to his home. After he got there, he looked at it for a while and after he put it on, he changed to “the mask man” with an intense tornado. After that, he went on acting up in the night. As a result, he became the enemy of Dorian Tyrell, who is one of the leaders of local mafia, and he was caught by police. However, he escaped from them, and he beat Dorian and he succeeded in saving a woman whose name is Tina Carlyle who Stanley fell in love with. Finally, he threw away the mask in the river where he found it.

I thought that this movie was very funny. However, it gave a very important thing to me. It is not to depend on a strong power. If we can do it, we will grow up more and more. So, I would like you to watch this movie. (323 words / 9827 words)

Movie review 4 Toy Story

When I was a little child, I was interested in a lot of things. For example, they were my future, my dream, and so on. I think that to get interested in many things is one of most important parts that most of us do not have now. When we get a lot of information, we find that some of things that we had thought that we could do in my childhood are impossible or very difficult. We have to know “reality”. However, it is only point of departure. When we know it, what we should do turns so clear. “Toy Story” is one of movies that give the key to us. So, I am going to introduce the story to you.

Woody is a doll which looks like a cowboy. He has a string. If it is pulled, he starts to speak by himself. He has a lot of friends in his owner’s room. His owner is Andy and they are all his toys. For example, they are Mr. Potato Head, Hamm, Slinky, and so on. They can also move by themselves, but Andy does not know that. He cherishes them and Woody is his favorite toy. So, he always plays with Woody.

One day, a new toy came to Andy’s home as a present for his birthday. His name is Buzz Lightyear. He is made for children and has a lot of functions as a toy. The toys except Woody accepted him, but Woody did not do because Andy came to play with him and had been very excited at him. After some days, Woody tried to drop Buzz to under the table in his room. However, Buzz fell on the bushes out of the house by mistake. Because of this accident, Woody disappointed his friends. When Andy went to Pizza Planet restaurant with his family, he tried to take Woody there because he could not find Buzz in his room. Buzz held on to the car that would go to Pizza Planet restaurant and he found Woody. Woody and Buzz managed to arrive there, but they were caught by a bad boy. His name is Sid Phillips. He is a neighbor of Andy and likes to destroy toys and change them into other toys. They tried to escape from his house, but they were not able to do it because Andy’s toys did not believe what Woody said at first. In addition, Buzz knew that he is not a “real” space ranger but a toy for children, so he was depressed. However, Woody accepted him as a friend and told him to return to Andy together. Buzz was motivated by what Woody said and the toys that were changed by Sid helped them to escape from his house, so they were able to reform him and go back to the car that Andy and his family were taking to move to their new house. After that, Andy and his toys had a good time there.

In this movie, there are a lot of toys. So, many children in the world will be excited when they watch them. However, I think that this movie has some message for us. They are what we should do after we know our situation. Buzz could know that it is the most important for toys to be with their owners after he understood that he was not a space ranger. I think that we have to find what each of us is only able to do or what we would like to do for the people who each of us cherishes very much. (601 words / 9504 words)

Movie review 3 Romeo + Juliet

When I was a high school student, I had known the name of the movie of “Romeo and Juliet”. However, I had not known that it was also other movies before my teacher told me the name of this movie. This movie is named “Romeo + Juliet”. Of course, “Romeo + Juliet” has the same plot as “Romeo and Juliet”. But some of the situations are arranged in a modern style. For example, some swords were used in the struggles between Capulet family and Montague family in “Romeo and Juliet”. However, in “Romeo + Juliet”, some guns were used at that time. So, I am going to introduce the story to you.

A boy is worried about one-sided love to Rosaline, but he falls in love with a girl at first at Capulet family’s party. He is Romeo, who is the only son of Montague family. The girl is Juliet, who is the only daughter of Capulet family. He and she are not able to hold the feelings that they love each other, and they get married at once. However, the happy life does not go on. As Montague family and Capulet family have disliked each other, one of them starts to fight. Romeo tries to stop it, but he is not able to do it. As a result, Mercutio, who is a friend of Romeo, is killed by Tybalt who is a cousin of Juliet. It makes Romeo angry, and he kills Tybalt by gun. Because of this event, Romeo and Juliet are separated. Laurence, who is a matchmaker of them, plans to help them. However, his idea is not told to Romeo. Finally, they died.

This story is the very type of the tragedy, but I think that it is difficult to cause it in the real world. If we have strong heart and judge what we should do, it can not happen. What we understand is that to discuss is very important. (325 words / 8903 words)
