Ratatouille

This movie was made by Pixar, and its main characters are a rat, Remy and a cook, Linguini. Remy is a rat, but he can recognize good foods, and he is interested in cooking. On the other hand, Linguini is a son of very famous chef, Gusteau. So, he also wants to be a great chef like his father, but he isn’t good at cooking.

The meeting of them is by chance and fateful. Remy can cook great foods, but he is rat. Of course he has no chance to cook freely. And Linguini has the chance to cook, but he can’t cook like Remy. So, they try to cook in cooperation with each other! And then, Linguini became very famous and popular. But he can't tell the truth to anyone. It irritates Remy gradually. In the bad mood, a harsh critic, Anton Ego came to the restaurant!
This movie has some keywords. They are family, friendship and preconceived ideas. Remy's family says to him that humans are bad for rats. And they also say that don't play like human. A preconceived idea obstructs Remy’s dream, wanting to be a great
chef like Gusteau. I think it is common trouble around us. So, Remy’s situation wrings my heart.
There are so many interesting points in this movie, and the most surprising point for me is computer graphic technology. The action of the characters is great, of course. But I was impressed with the expressions. The expression of not only humans but also rats! So I can empathize with Remy. It is the first time of empathizing with rats!
The last scene is the best! The contrast of quiet and notion is great! I was glued to the screen. I felt the attractiveness of Pixar again when I watched this movie! I don't watch movies like this very much, but now, I'm really interested in the movies made by Pixar!

High School Musical

This movie has two main characters. One of them is Troy. And the other is Gabriella. Troy belongs to the basketball team, and he is the captain. He is very friendly and cool. So, he is the most popular person in the school. He is the hero. And Gabriella is a new student of the school where Troy goes. She is so clever. She is famous with her talent of mathematics and chemistry since she was a little child.
What I said before is an aspect of them everyone knows. But there are different aspects in them. It is singing. They really like singing, but unfortunately, they have no chance to show it anyone. But the last day of year, they met by chance at a party. It is the start of something new.

With the meeting of them as a start, they began to want to sing songs together. But Troy is a super star of the basketball team. And Gabriella is a clever honor student. No one thought that they like singing. But they tried to apply for an audition…

I think that this movie is interesting for almost everyone. Because this movie asks us so many questions which we have troubled everyone at least once. ”What is GOOD for ME?”, “What is ME you say?” Troy and Gabriella also had the same trouble.
It is natural to have trouble about myself and the people around me. The people can see me from outside, and of course I can’t do that. But it is also only one who can see the inside of me. As a matter of course, there are at least two of me. And some of the ideas about me are wrong. It's not the real me. But if the UNREAL me is needed and people had high hopes about that unreal me, what should I do? Pretend to be the unreal person? Do I show the REAL me? Anyway, everyone hopes to live as they are, but it is so hard. So, we have troubles. The troubles and emotional turmoil are in this movie. But it is not the only thing in this movie. There is fun, love and smile!
I added this movie to my favorite movies! This movie makes us happy and smiling, so I hope that the people who don’t know the attractive of this movie will watch it and find the interestingness of “HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL”!

Language

I take a class of Japanese literature now. I rarely read books. So this class gives me an opportunity to read many famous Japanese literatures. I read many of them. My favorite works are 「小さき者へ」 written by Takeo Arishima and 「秋立つ」 written by Haruo Satoh.
「小さき者へ」 announced in the 7th year of Taisho. This work is a letter to children from their father. He talks to them about their history, for example their birth, the death of their mother and his job. This letter filled with his love to his children and his dead wife. And this work is based on the history of writer, Takeo Arishima. That point also makes me distressing.
「秋立つ」 announced in the 14th year of Taisho. There are one man and one beautiful lady in this story. The lady is a married person. But she is very beautiful and charming, so she gets attention of many men. This story is cold contending over her. I like the last scene of this story. There is an interesting ending to the story.
I've studied English for a long time. I'm interested in English. But these days, I noticed a good point of Japanese. I think Japanese is delicate and beautiful. English doesn't have these points. They are an idiosyncrasy of Japanese. But of course, English has a good point. I noticed that to take this class.
