My Sister's Keeper

2010-12-23T04:52:00.006+09:00

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

2010-12-23T04:13:00.015+09:00

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

2010-12-22T23:26:00.029+09:00

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.....?

Because that scene catch the mood of Hawaii. The theme of this movie "Ohana is family. There is always nearby a family. Whatever happened." I think that this word is very wonderful. Lilo is a girl who lives in the Kauai island in Hawaii. Lilo died by parents, and lived with the elder sister. Sister's name is Nani. Nani thought that kept the dog for Lilo who did not have the friend. However, it was the 626th-of alien invented by not the dog but jumper doctor's gene testing prototype stitch that Lilo chose.

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.

Tomorrow never comes

2010-07-31T03:03:00.011+09:00

I found a wonderful words several years ago.

When terrorism broke out in the United States in 2001, this poetry was read. I introduces it.

【Tomorrow never comes】

If I knew it would be the last time

that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly,

and pray the Lord your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time

that I'd see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss,

and call you back for just one more.

If I knew it would be the last time

I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would tape each word and action,　

and play them back throughout my days.
If I knew it would be the last time,

I would spare an extra minute or two,
To stop and say “I love you,”

instead of assuming you know I do.

So just in case tomorrow never comes,

and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you,

and I hope we never will forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,

young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance

you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,

why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,

you'll surely regret the day
That you didn't take that extra time

for a smile, a hug, or a kiss,
And you were too busy to grant someone,

what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today

and whisper in their ear
That you love them very much,

and you'll always hold them dear.
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"... "Please forgive me,"

... "thank you" or "it's okay".
And if tomorrow never comes,

you'll have no regrets about today.

--END--

I was very impressed from this poem. And, I noticed a lot of important things. It is a miracle that tomorrow comes. Alive is a miracle. However, we do not noticed that. We do not think it to be natural. So as not to regret, I want to live day by day. I will start from telling the gratitude for important person. I was able to know this poetry and was so good!

My grandma.

2010-07-31T00:25:00.006+09:00

One of my important memories happened when I was 14 years old. One daybreak I woke up because of the sound of the telephone. I realized that my grandmother had died from my mother's conversation. I cried quietly in my bed until morning came. My family lives with my father's parents. My mother's father had did died earlies, so my grandmother had been living alone even since my mother had married. When my mother and I visited my grandmother's house, she seemed to be very happy. She was always gentle and a woman of class. But... grandma was diagnosed with dementia when I was young. For example, she would forget my name, and the same question would be asked many time. For me, as the child, it was a shock. A cold attitude was occasionally taken for my grandmother. However, grandmother's gentle appearance never changed and grace always overflowed from her. Our visit may have surely been the only enjoyment for my grandmother living alone. Though her lower body weakened, and it was difficult for her to walk, when we rang the bell of the front door, she would come to the front door without fail and welcomed us with her smile. When we left she saw us off. Grandmother surely spent a long time alone, and maybe she felt lonely. Grandma living alone became difficult before long. She left Kumamoto and started a new life in Chiba. I especially because it bacame difficult to meet grandmother. It was also neccessary to go meet her more. I wanted to speak to her more. I wanted to become a gentler grandchild. I wanted to spend more time with her...... After that, a long time passed. Grandmother died when I was a junior high school student. It was my first experience with the death of someone close to me. I always recall grandmother's generosity. After grandmother had died, one letter was found in my room. It was a letter to me when I was a kindergartner, from grandmother. It was written, "Dear Mao. I love you. I love you very very very much... " in the last line of the letter. I could not stop my tears. I felt grandmother was near. I have not forgotten the irreplaceable memories with her, though I can not meet with her. I wish to express my gratitude to my grandmother who gave birth to my beloved mother.

Manners of driving

2010-07-30T23:33:00.005+09:00

I am making an effort to go to the car driving school now, and to get the license. I did drive a car, and I think about manners of driving. The person who is driving while using the cell phone is often seen. People should not use cell phone while they are driving. First of all, when driving, the driver should concentrate on driving. Driving is an act of keeping person's life. Needless to say, own life, the life of the person who takes the same car and a lot of lives such as pedestrians outside the car are held together. We must don't forget this. Secondly, it my opinion, we see the screen of the cell phone without fail. When the received mail is seen or the answer is sent, it is looking away. The driver will not be able to meet a calamity calmly even if the person or the when car suddenly appear. Moreover, when we checked mail, one hand will be separated from the steering wheel. I think it is very dangerous. Finally, tiday, the gadget that it is possible to call by using the earphone while driving without using the hand is put on the market. However, I don't think that safety rose with this device. Because it is dangerous to call while driving. I think carefulness to driving decreases surely because it concentrates on the conversations. Now, a lot of kinds of the manner made like the drive mode etc... are installed in the cell phone. When driving as manner of the person who has the license certificate. I think it is common sense don't touch carrying.

Secondly, in my opinion, we see the screen of the cell phone without fail. When the received mail is seen or the answer is sent, it is looking away. The driver will not be able to meet a calamity calmly even if the person or the when car suddenly appear. Moreover, when we checked mail, one hand will be separated from the steering wheel. I think it is very dangerous.
Finally, today, the gadget that it is possible to call by using the earphone while driving without using the hand is put on the market. However, I don't think that safety rose with this device. Because it is dangerous to call while driving. I think carefulness to driving decreases surely because it concentrates on the conversations.
Now, a lot of kinds of the manner made like the drive mode etc... are installed in the cell phone. When driving as manner of the person who has the license certificate. I think it is common sense don't touch carrying.

But, when the photograph is seen, we can recall the taste of the dish, person who ate together...etc. The photograph of friend's smile and an appearance that seems to be happy makes me happy feelings.
However, there is sometimes the one that it is difficult to take a picture with the camera. It is not possible to take a picture in the more beautiful one. For instance, fireworks, starry sky, and night view, etc. The one that it is not possible to leave it in the photograph is printed out to the album of my mind. The photograph can leave the moment through all eternity. We feel feelings that returned to the past. I think that I should leave memories in the photograph. Therefore, I will keep taking the picture in the future.
