Movie Review: "RENT"

This time, I’m going to introduce everyone a movie “RENT”. This movie is drawn about the bright young days of young people no matter how poor they are. They dream of being a musician and an image writer and so on but they can’t pay the rent of the apartment where they live every month. It’s the companion’s story for one year from Christmas day. The dramatis personae are all individualistic, they are all artistic-oriented young people such as a musician, an image writer and a dancer. The dramatis personae are a musician who had played an active part as a member of formerly popular rock band. But he is staying indoors at home now because he lost heart because of his girlfriend’s death and his disease “AIDS”. He is charmed by a dancer who lives in a room downstairs but he can’t step forward and speakto her readily. Next, his roommate is an image writer, his girlfriend deserted him and she is going around with a woman who works as a lawyer now. This movie intertwines with various dramas such a love triangle, a new romance and a formerly mate begins to ejects the young people from the apartment because he became a brilliant now. The young people live dreaming of their tomorrow at the lower levels in New York. And this movie incorporates present-day themes such AIDS and homosexuality. The last scene incorporates love, sadness and hope at a friend’s death and a new departure. The young people have a strong feeling for each other but they think that they lead a free and uninhibited life from the world. They gradually make gentle friendships and romances but they are addicted to drugs, are suffering from AIDS, can’t pay rent of the apartment every month. All dramatis personae believe friends, help each other and live as hard as they could even if they are very poor, contract AIDS and are homosexual.

This time, I watched this movie “RENT” for the first time. I’m happy I could meet with it. I was such an impressed that I had gooseflesh from the opening song. The musical speak for mental cry for the young people and the musical was very moving. The story is fairly simple but it was a profound meaning. I was very interested in how each character changed their way of life for one year. I could think that I’m going to work harder at something as hard as I could from now on after I watched this movie. And it gave me love, courage and vitality because I can really felt feeling “I want to live tomorrow!” That’s why I felt that I’m happy only live now. I thought that live as hard as oneself day by day is very important even if difficulty happens. I didn’t think that this movie is very old because the theme of this movie is present-day problems in Japan butthis movie was shown in the old days. And I felt that this movie was very interesting because there were a lot of songs and the characters were very individualistic. I wanted to sing together in the middle of the movie because the songs and dances the actors did were very wonderful and the harmony of songs were very beautiful. I was intoxicated by the wonderful songs. I learned a lot of important things on my life from this movie. I want people who are worried about life and haven’t watched this movie yet to watch it by all means. I would like to watch it when I will be worried about my life in the future.

Movie Review: "The Sixth Sense"

This time, I’m going to introduce everybody to the movie “The Sixth Sense”. This movie is an American suspense and horror story and this movie was awarded a lot of prizes from at the Academy Awards.

 At first, I’m going to introduce the outline of this movie. This movie is a story of a boy who has visions and the Psychiatrist who helps him. The name of the boy is Cole and the name of a Psychiatrist is Malcolm. Cole is told that he is an abnormal person from all the students and teachers and he spends days with his mother because he has visions. That’s why Malcolm wants to help him one way or another. Presently Cole confided his secret and troubles to Malcolm. And Cole can see the deceased and Psychiatrist who injured his heart gradually exchange their secrets with each other. Cole says the deceased always have him do something. It is to get Cole to grant the deceased’s wish. They would like him to do it and they want to be cured. After all, he gets the best of his troubles and he could confide his secret and troubles to his mother. But Malcolm has been worried about his wife and Cole gave Malcolm advice that he should speak to her when she is sleeping on the bed. Malcolm followed his advice and spoke to her while she is sleeping. Whereupon she talked in her sleep “why did he die leaving me?” At that very moment he understood everything. He was trapped in this world because he has feelings for his wife and regrets for a patient. And he went to Heaven because he satisfied his wish.

This time, I saw “The Sixth Sense” for the first time. I think that this movie is the best reversal among I have seen until now. I didn’t become aware in the least that Malcolm is a dead person until I saw the last scene. Maybe I am insensible because my friend became aware of the end before me. I felt it was a strange story because Malcolm was shot by a gun from a patient at the beginning and the time flew quickly. But I didn’t expect such a reversal in the last scene. I was very surprised and I had goosebumps. That’s why I assented that people who saw this movie don’t explain the end at any cost like was said at the beginning. And I became aware that Malcolm is a dead person who gets Cole to grant the deceased’s wish after I saw this movie. I could understand the fact and I really liked the story. I was very impressed by the last scene but I have some questions. So, I would like to see this movie once more again and I will be able to see it from a different point of view next time. At the start, I was thinking that “The Sixth Sense” is sure to be a very dreadful movie because I knew this movie is a suspense and horror story. That’s why I saw this movie with a pounding heart. However, this movie was very heart moving story. I think that this movie is full of moving stories rather than being a suspense and horror story.
