My Sister's Keeper

I saw "My Sister 's Keeper". I saw the movie. In this story, there is a novel, too. However, the ending is different from the novel. Anna was born as elder sister's donor. When anna was 13 years old, she sues her mother at the request of Kate. And, the family is made asunder. I consider feelings of Anna that fights to between mother and Kate. Why did Anna finally side with Kate?
I think that love overflows in this family. However, I is felt that the mother's love is too desperate. And, it is too heavy. It seems sometimes to be cruel for children. However, I think that this is because of the real thing the mother's love and ultimate. However, love of the mother frightened because of "Death" of an precious daughter might have been "It is heavy" one for Kate. Certainly, I think that mother loves all children compared with Jesse, Anna, and Kate. But, I felt that love to Kate was stronger than that of another. In it, it might be the best cause that Kate is cancer. However, Kate worries that I am monopolizing mother's love. It might have given birth to Kate to "I'm sorry" feelings. I think that mother's deep love cornered Kate. Finally, it is likely to have thought Kate to be "It is made alive" rather than "I am alive". Anna was accepted in case of the organ donation for Kate. Family ties are sure to do so.
In addition, I do not think that Anna hated mother. I think that Anna sincerely loved mother. So, I feel that accuse was painful for Anna. I think that Anna accepts the request of Kate, and the connection of sisters' bloods is related to the executed reason. I have the elder brother. Therefore, I think that feelings of Anna are understood. Kate come back from the date, and she go to the bedside of Anna soon. So, there is a scene said to Anna, "I kissed". I think that sisters are the people felt more familiar than parents.
The ages are nearer than parents. Anything can be mutually spoken. Sisters understand feelings, and can sympathize each other.
The child sees the family calmly and objectively at time.
The child is unexpectedly an massive more than parents think.
I might have been a Anna that was able to notice the Kate's trifling change more than parents.
Kate shuts oneself in her room, and there is a scene that Kate gets ferment. Anna enters the room and Kate is calmed.
At this time, Anna might surely have know feelings of Kate. And, I might Anna decided that cooperated to Kate. "Life" of Anna is "Life. " of Kate.
Kate that entrusts my fate to Anna. The Kate is "Myself" for Anna.
And, mother notices an important thing in the trial. Finally, it leads to love to mother.
Mother to whom surroundings had disappeared tried to watch her once thanks to this trouble, and came to be able to love children again a calm mind.

This is a very good movie. I was moved.

Invictus

I saw the movie named "Invictus".

Why did Mandela try to have them unify the country by using the World Cup?
Mandela who had spent the long tract of years in the isolation cell became the president in South Africa before long.
White who has ruled over a country though small number of people are power. They feared the persecution by the birth of black President who had been elected by the black's support.
It exactly thought the majority of the black to be "It is revenge". However, Mandela's politics aimed at black and White's mutual prosperitys. The president appointed white to guard. And, they were made to work with black's guard member. In addition, He stop was put on the dissolution of the rugby team of a South African representative whose nearly everyone is white player.
And, he bet the union of the country on this rugby team. The majority of the team are white though it is a South African representative. Moreover, it is a minor team.
I investigate the truth of Mandela who hoped for the victory of the World Cup to this team.
"Invictus" that was the title of this movie was a word supported while he was imprisoning.

It is myself that decides my fate.
It is myself that controls my soul.

This is a passage from poetry in the movie. Even if One's situation is difficulty, the results are all my choice. He did not yield. In long imprisonment life of 27 years, he found the idea "I was not conquered" and "Do not conquer".
He esteemed "Permit". It was very persuasive to the act "Permit" by Mandela who live in the prison before.
Mandela who talked with captain of team. They have the common feature that leads the organization as a leader. He did not say to the captain of rugby, "I wants you to win the championship in the World Cup". However, the captain realized it. I think that this scene was important.
All fates are depend on me.

I think that I unite by all Japanese cheer in the representation from Japan in the world meeting of baseball and soccers of WBC and the World Cup, etc.
It is moment when identification in country is felt.
Then, I think that Mandela's policy is a method of the best to unify the country. Moreover, this South African representative is player Caucasian the majority, and has the label of minor team. Patriotism and the mutual prosperity mind will arise to the people if this team approaches the victory. I understand so.
The idea of the president who related sports to politics was a wise selection.
And, this movie director is Eastwood. I think that he appealed for "Permit" to us who repeats the tragedy by the prejudice that continues now. It wishes the global peace.

MR 06: Prison Break

I saw the first episode of the series "Prison Break". This is a foreign drama that I　became absorbed in when I was a high school student. This time, I saw this
drama again after a long time. This drama is interesting no matter how many　times I　see. At season 1, the younger brother (Michael) rescues his elder brother　(Lincoln) who is sentenced to the death penalty.　Lincoln was cheated by a secret organization. To prove his innocence, Michael　plans the strategy. Michael became a bank robber. And, he went to the prison on　purpose. Their brotherly love is very wonderful. Michael provides with the　detailed plan to help his brother escape from execution, and puts a tattoo that is　the blueprint of the prison on his own body because he designed this prison. I　had gooseflesh momentarily seeing the blueprint as a tattoo. This scene is really　daring for me. And, I felt admiration strongly. I am convinced that he is a genius.　His strategy is perfect. I want to look inside his brain. This drama has many　thrills. I get excited very much while watching this movie. This drama is the　theme of prisoners breaking out from the prison. The narrow space of story in　the prison doesn't feel narrow because it includes events in the world outside　and the plot of the government as well. By the way, the time limit is 30 days.　Our tension rises because there is a time limit. I am very concerned about the　continuation of this drama. It is a drama that I want to see continuation as soon
as possible. By the way, "Prison Break" has already been concluded. I still have
not seen the final season. I think that I will go to borrow DVD soon. Really, does　the elder brother survive.....?

They mutually open the mind. And,　they become "Ohana" (family). In this movie, Hawaii and space are stages. Unique setting that combines the different worlds. Seemingly, it succeeds as a combination though it is an element that seems to be different.

The appearance where the stitch becomes a good child warmed my mind. This is Disney movie. However, not for only children. It was felt that various generations were able to enjoy it. What is the family?
What is alone? I thought about such a thing. And, I felt wonderful of the family. I recommend this movie to be seen with the family.
