Movies I watched etc.

During I had a cold, I watched some movies. All movies were fun. IL MARE I watched was Hollywood one. Original one is a Korean movie but I haven't seen this one. This is quite good story. I really enjoyed it. It is story of the couple of "SPEED". :-) The Story line was very good. I want to see Korean one. I wanted Keanu Reeves to use super natural power as Neo. :-)



"Watashi-no-atama-no-nakano-keshigomu"(Japanese tittle) is a Korean movie. This tittle means "Eraser in my brain." This is a movie depicted a girl who suffered from Juvenile Alzheimer disease and her husband. This was also a very good movie. I think many Korean movies are very good. I think Alzheimer disease doesn't advance at a higher rate. And Korean men cry too often than Japanese and this is difference between Korea and Japan. But this was very good movie. My favorite Korean movie is "Christmas in August". This was quite good movie.

"Semi-shigure"



"Semi-shigure" is a Japanese movie. Original piece was written by 藤沢周平(Fujisawa Shuhei) who is popular with Japanese business men. A samurai and a girl fell in love. But the girl has become a side house woman of his lord. I think it is better not to say the detail. :-) It seems original novel is more interesting than the movie but I think this is enough well-made movie. I think there is not English version. But might be there is it.

"Metoro-ni-notte"(地下鉄（メトロ）に乗って)



Metoro-ni-notte is also Japanese movie. The original novel was written by 浅田次郎(Asada Jirou) who is very popular in Japan now. A business man wonder off into past Japan at one subway station and he met his father he hates. But he found the true aspect of him and,,, I think I should not say the detail. :-) This was also very good movie and there was an air which is very good old. I wonder why I feel good old, even though I don't know the age.

These days, I often go to Rental Video shop to rent a DVD of "日本沈没(Nihon Chinbotu)". The tittle means "Foundering Japan". Original novel was written by 小松左京(Komatsu Sakyo). But always all DVD is rented. One day, a surprising incident happened at the bottom of sea. And Japan has sinked into sea. Japanese fight for survival. All Japanese has become a refugee. I've seen a Korean woman said "I want Japan to sink into sea!!". I guess she can enjoy the movie. haha. There is a part two of the novel. The story depicted Japanese live in other country as Japanese and depict the hardship etc.



Oh, today's starting pitcher is Vogelsong. He is very good batter too. His wife appears on CM.







The man is Thomas Patrick O'Malley who played with Tigers. He is a close friend of my English teacher at high school. He speaks Osaka dialect winningly.



There is a tendency that MLB players don't flourish in Japan. Often AAA players become better player in Japan. Everytime I hear "Togers got MLB player", I feel disappointed. 野球(Yakyuu, Japanese baseball) is different from American baseball, only players have capacity to adapt can flourish in Japan. To put simply, MLB is combat sports and Japanese baseball is fight of skill and intellectual power. It seems Ex Los Angeles Dodgers's baseball affected Japanese baseball.



Speaking of non-Japanese baseball palyer in Japan. 林威助 is really good young player. He is from Taiwan and graduated high school in Japan. I think he will be a great batter. His uniform number is 31 which was the number of Mr.TIgers, 掛布雅之(Kakefu Masayuki).







Oh, I have to watch baseball game.



It is a photo of Zero FIghter, I took it at Yasukuni shrine.



Have a nice day!
