The Pursuit of Happyness

I watched The Pursuit of Happyness in my home yesterday.

It was released in America 2006, directed by Gubriele Moccino. He is young director in Italy. The leading actor was Will Smith, he performed many famous movies. He was nominated for best actor in leading roll of 79th Academy Award. The son of the main character was performed by Jaden Smith. He is real son of Will Smith. They performed in same movie. I thought Jaden must be great actor like his father in the future, because he is already good actor although he is too young.

The spelling' Happyness' included main title is incorrect, but it was in purpose. It was based on graffiti in the movie.

The movie is about a man who was a salesman, but he couldn't sell the products so he was too poor. He lived with his wife and son, but his wife left the home and he lost his home. Then he challenged internship of a big company. 20 people participated that and only one person will get a job in the company. He got over many hardships for his son.

It was good movie, I was little impressed by the movie. The bonds of child and parent are beautiful. I recommend it for you!!

Drinking and Magics

In Thursday, I went to a Izakaya close to Tokai university with two friends after school. We often go there to talk many things I can talk anything to them. I like the Izakaya, because Yakiroris and Shochus are too cheap and tasty, we are keeping a bottle of shochu always. A married couple runs the Izakaya, they are very kind and funny. I can relax there.
Then the master showed us magics with rubber band. We were surprised it and a master taught us the magic tricks. the tricks were very simple, I could do the magic. Then he showed card magics which was great. He kindly taught the tricks too, we were very impressed when we knew the tricks. finally he showed us the greatest magic. He got me to choose one card which was turned, know body knew the number of the card. He asked us 'Please guess the number of the card.' One of my friend answered 'Two.' and the other friend answered 'ten'. He said 'Two plus ten equal twelve.' and he turned up the card. The card was queen of hearts!! Unbilievable!!!

Community

I'm in some communities, but those are not so many because I don't have any part-time jobs now and I don't participate in any teams out of university. I will make futsal team with my friends, but I can't play it now, because I was in traffic accident and I'm hurting. I want to play it as soon as possible.

Photograph club
I entered the club last summer and I became a member of the club.I could make many friends who major in other subject and other grade due to enter the club. I sometimes play and drink with them out of the university, and I often see in accident and talk with someone the member of the club in university. Then I could make many memories, for example I went to travel in summer vacation. I swam in sea, ate BBQ and talked a lot things. the most impressive memory was school festival. We prepared for the festival from August. we made Mikosi, we displayed our works and we made and sold foods in booth. We enjoyed eating some foods and looked many display. Then the ending ceremony of the festival was great, we got two prize, we were very glad and we did 'beer shower' it was too fan . Finally The fire works were shot, there were too beautiful.



Eibei gakka
The English department is the most important community for me, because it is main part of my life now, we are student so our work is studying. I do like members of this department, there are good persons!! When I entered the university I was nervous about campus life and now, I can spend good time in the department comfortably, because I could some friends there. The biggest memory of the department was Kaigaikensh( study abroad program). I had been to Minnesota in America for a month in this summer. We spent together almost every day for a month in abroad, we experienced many newly things there, it was special program. I sincere like this department, but I have some complaints. First there are many home work to do, I'm boring with those home works. Second, canceling of lecture is fewer then other departments. I hope those rising.



Other communities
I often meet former part-time job's member. I could made some friends who are not same age and goes different school. we helped each other in work.
I like meet and drink with friends of high school days. Some friends are living in other prefectures so we can't meet often. Therefore we gather some time when they back to Kumamoto. We talks many things with drink, for example about our current life, our high school days. We can be so happy and warm up when we talk about those memories. I want to hold reunion as soon as possible.


Conclusion
I think belonging many communities is good thing, because I can make many kind of friends and I can learn many things through those activities. I want to enter more communities.

Toy Story

This animated movie was released in America i995 and it was released in japan 1996. The director is John Lasseter. The producer is pixar animation studio. The studio made many famous animated movies, for example Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, etc. Toy Story was watched many people in theater all over the world, then Toy Story 2 was released in 1999 and Toy Story 3 will be released in 2010. main characters of this movie is toys. It express toy's life, there are many problems, struggles, but I thought those problems apply to a human beings. I have watched the movie sometimes. The first time was my childhood and I watched it again today. I took different impression between this time and my childhood.

The main characters were Woody and Buzz Lightyear, they are Andy's toy. Andy is a cheerful boy, he loves to play with toys. Woody is toy of the cowboy, he was Andy's favorite toy. he lives with other toys. One day Andy's birthday party was held and he got new toy "Buzz Lightyear". Buzz became Andy's favorite toy soon, so Woody envies and hates him. Then Woody and Buzz were picked up by Sid and came to his house. Sid is neighbor of Andy. Sid plays with toys violently and destroys toy, so Andy's toys are afraid of him. Andy tried to escape from there with buzz, but Buzz was depressed very much, because he watched TV commercial of toy "Buzz Lightyear" and he realized that he is only a toy, not Space ranger. Nevertheless Andy cheered Buzz and they cooperated to escape from there. Finally they could escape and came back for Andy.

I thought The main theme of the movie was friend ship. First there was friend ship among Andy's toys, especially I like Slinky dog. He trusts Woody very much . When Woody was suspected that he murdered Buzz, Slinky was believing him till the last. Beside, when Andy showed Buzz's arm from Sid's room to Andy's toys, other toys left in anger soon, but slinky left last very sadly. I was impressed the scene very much.

Second, there was friend ship between Woody and Buzz. Woody hated Buzz, but it was changed after Buzz realized that he is a toy. Woody told Buzz that toy is better than space ranger, Buzz is better than him. Woody told his true feeling to buzz and Buzz realized importance of toy. They understood each other in the scene.

Third, There was friend ship among Woody, Buzz and Sid's toys. Woody and Buzz were afraid of Sid's toys, because they looks very scary. However they were very kind and good guys against their appearance. They fixed Buzz 's arm and helped Woody and Buzz to escape from Sid's house. Woody and Buzz were came from the other place, but everyone is same toys, so their feelings were same.

I thought that the movie taught me many things about friend ship. It's important to make a friend who trust each other like Slinky, and we have to tell friends our true feelings. Then we have to help anyone be in trouble, but it's not important about race, nationality, job, etc.

The movie was too fun and useful for me.

Culture

Each country has original cultures. Of course Japan has many funny culture. I think that ‘Kotatsu’ is great culture of Japan. It’s getting cold day by day, so we need kotatsu. Kotatsu is very important in winter. Almost Japanese like to spend with kotatsu. Sleeping in the kotatsu is too comfortable, but we have to be careful, because we will catch a cold. Then eating ice cream in the kotatsu is good, especially ‘Yukimidaifuku’ is good for it. Kotatsu warm me up and support me.
