They get to do weird morning exercise...? 

Not much dialogue but ALL is enjoy the moment.

Not much explanation either about the characters and the plot.Just relax >>>. 

One thing very obvious that they ALL wearing glasses. 

At first Sensei want to leave to change her feelings at a different place because awkward moments. but soon she reach she regretted and had to walk her way back.

Luckily Sakura-san rides her with bicycle.

In the end Sensei became regular.


Violent Cop (1989 film)

A Takeshi Kitano film. Watchable. The cast is good i guess. The only problem is that too much of the scenes walking from point A to point B. Cars moving from point A to point B which takes lots of time and less content. Violent cop indeed. In the end he got to kill whom he wanted to kill and he even kill his sister, and being killed himself, the end.

Amour (2012 film)

I watched this movie before. Now again in HD and big screen. feels different. I guess i will not watch it again unless i forgotten the message that embedded in the movie. I personally think that time would change what you think about certain films. This is one of those film. few years ago i watched this and i think meh this is pretty normal. now i think the film was too realistic and harsh and the atmosphere is critical damage. This is realistically what old age lifestyle could really be if we could live until that old. George went to his friends funeral and he think its a disaster as he discusses that to his wife. Saying that they played the Beatles yesterday and such. Anne(wife) said that life is beautiful when she look at her old photo album at the dining table. the last chapter, he tells her wife that when as a child he was sent to summer camp. His mother had told him to send her a daily postcard, drawing flowers on it if he was happy, stars if unhappy. The camp did not suit him, and one day he sent a postcard covered with stars. He also got into hospital and into the quarantine room because he got ill. Too bad he said he lost the postcard. Well, after his little summer camp story he uses the pillow to end his wife's life so the misery would end. Sometimes, Haneke suggests, life is flowers, and sometimes all stars.

5 Centimeters per Second (2007 anime)

5 Centimeters per Second , it is from year 2007. 

What was i doing? I forgot. I just watched it yesterday.

Its beautiful. The animation was done in a beautiful way.

the sceneries .the lights in the classroom. the winter the sun set. its really realistic. 

I never would have thought a title that sounded so science fiction would have a realistic content. 

"5 cm per second. The speed at which cherry blossom petals fall." sounds like romantic and a secret code. 

"5 kilo per second . The speed of the rocket launches into the sky." sounded totally normal and realistic .

Kanae mentions that the rocket travels at five kilometers per hour, evoking his memories where Akari told him about the speed at which Sakura blossoms fell.

Takaki lost the letter that he intended to give to Akari. He treat it as a bad omen and he lost his courage to confess ever since.

Its too bad Takaki learns that he had come to a habit to write text on his phone address to nobody. 

Takaki should write to Akari or they had already lost contact due to some reason. 

Its too bad Kanae decided that she would not confess to Takaki at the convenient store. 

Kanae deserves to be with Takaki as she shows soo much effort just to confess.

Yet she lacks of courage. Its courage we all need. We feel you Kanae, sometimes we just need a little more luck and courage.

the travel through railways in the winter story is romantic and for the pair of lovers its their only climax of their relationship. 

The cold winter and the warm meal over the heater was a strong contrast in the story. Its heart warming and blessed. 

When Takaki arrived late for few hours because of the heavy snow situation and found out that Akari is still waiting for him at the station they promised, i think he is relieved at some point. 

Akari's home made meal cured Takaki's empty stomach and Takaki's anxiety heart. 

A kiss below the Sakura tree is a bad omen for long term relationship? 

too bad long term relationship always goes south. 

A love without confession is a no-no too. 

sometimes we just need to let go of the past and face the reality... 

At last the anime reminds us of our long distance bitter sweet relationship that goes south during our youth.

Hana-bi (1997)

Hana-bi is genius work piece of art. looks rough but its beautiful. Its like society itself, its people is rough but the heart is beautiful. I realize that kitano's face is twitching constantly and i found out he face is half paralyzed because of injury.its amazing how he can pull out the blockbuster with a half paralyzed face that is highly praised. Its violent as it can be and funny at the same time. The young man that stole the taxi got beaten up by the junkyard boss is funny scene. Junkyard boss is funny. there are plenty of art inside the movie and its beautiful. too bad he had to kill his wife and himself in the end. I thought the bullets is for the cops...

Kimi no Na Wa (2016)

Great anime. I cant believe its been soo long since it released. Well, they have been searching for each other for 5 years since the incident so no worries. Japanese culture alone would make an amazing story. The story involves saving soo many lives so its an interesting one. Their souls leap through time and exchange body. Yet they forgotten each others name and kept on searching for each other. Well i guess the comet is to blame so we can get to see this interesting love story. Makoto Shinkai, i guess this is the second film i watched from your collection. cant wait for next one..

Letter from the Mountain (2002)

Letter from the Mountain (2002) is a very slow paced story but very beautiful. U can see the beautiful mountains as if you were there in the big screen. A pair of husband and wife from the city moved to the village in the mountains. The wife is a doctor. The husband is a useless writer and not doing anything. I wonder how they get together. The husband even smoke himself. I doubt the husband have a good mentor because his mentor had stomach cancer and refuse of any treatment and prepare himself for death. His mentor thought that was the right thing to do, it was his fate when the times comes he had to go... The wife is a great doctor and have panic disorder in the city. In the mountains however she is much better. She came to husbands hometown so she could get cured. She became much better. They went fishing and caught a fish. She even helped a throat cancer girl became healthy again. She is bless with a baby in the late story. The grandmother in the story Ume-san is very old and she tells her story in the local newspaper. Its heart warming advise from the mountains.

The Breakfast Club (1985)

The Breakfast Club (1985) is the example of a film done right. With minimum characters and within a school area you can make a film that is soo good. So natural, with actors that have the potential. we were once young and clueless of the world ahead of us but majority of us is decent. So the minority that is rebellious and brave can have all the fun. Yup they puff some weed in school. Lets be friends. Friends will not betray each other. Friendship forever .

Me before you (2016 movie)

Well honestly i went in knowing mother of dragons only and only for the mother of dragons. I do get lots of great moments from her. Very pleasing moments indeed. Its too bad Will had to choose death at the end. too bad. He can be lots of things and the best point is he's rich, he doesn't need to go to work. i guess the pain is just too much to bear and its not the life he wants. Emilia Clarke the world needs more of your smile.

Redline (2009)

Redline (2009) anime was superb considering its from 8 years ago. Yupp just finished it today and felt awesome. the main character JP voice by Takuya Kimura and Sonoshee McLaren voice by Yu Aoi was the main selling point.Its about racing all the way and sci-fi and love. The thrill of racing you just cannot get it elsewhere. The art style is top notch AND FULL OF LINES AND DETAILS. 10/10 will watch it again

Last friends (2008 Jdorama)

Takeru being a fashionable male is great character. But at last he get only friendship.... too bad. Michiru is dumb, again and again being sabotage by Sosuke and still believe in hi,even delivers his child. Her mom is wise enough to ask for an abortion. Yet she ignores her Mon as any children will do.. Sosuke being a hateful character brings so much of negative energy into happy family. Ruka fits the character well and too bad she has to like women. My opinion this series is comfortable to watch minus the sosuke portion. its mostly rinse and repeat sosuke abuse michiru and run to share house and back to sosuke and to share house and to sosuke..... they never get tired of that... the best thing is that the theme song is prisoner of love by Utada Hikaru. I guess the series is trying to describe that many people is imperfect, unable to handle relationship. even the other half is poison they will still go for it blindly.

Far and Away (1992 movie)

Wow it blew me away far far away. Irish farmer bad landlord (the landlord actually is good, his henchmen is bad) and landlords daughter and free land and boxing. man, the boxing scene is really an exiting one. The opponent was twice his size. blood spilling all over. Nicole Kidman is very beautiful. He could have won the last boxing fight. Too bad Nicole got shoot, and she had to be sent back to her family. His horse is crazy fast if u ask me. well, happy ending.

Seven Years In Tibet (1997 movie )

Seven Years in Tibet is based on true story. Which a foreigner make friend with the Holy 14th Dalai Lama ). Great mountain climbing scene. Great Tibet country side view. Felt almost i was there for a moment. Very pleasing , and beautiful. The movie does a great job of showing the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple in Lhasa as well as the rural villages of Tibet. Not to mention the breath taking views of the Himalayas. The Dalai Lama give the music box as a present for Mr Harrer before the leave Tibet. In the end the story is about father and son reunion and climbing the mountains. The greatest strength of the Tibetan is peace. Before watching this film i always thought Tibet is a part of China. It seems that Tibet is a country and China invaded the country.

Elizabeth I (2006 movie)

Elizabeth I .. Yupp the Queen that is virgin. The most memorable scene is where she signs the death warrant of the Scottish Queen Mary. She was unbearable to the order but she has to do it. She ask the delivery man to delay it but the guy delivers it anyway so his advisers deliver the sentence. 2 chops in the head .. " God save the Queen?" Earl of Leicester was dead in the bed in the first dvd disc. Okay, the second half is where most things go out from the rail.. The Queen and her young lover. The Earl of Essex. Its disturbing to see the old and young together. Oh . now i know its based on history .. Earl of Essex rebelled and off goes his head. "The most difficult thing to govern is the heart"

Kitchen stories (2003 movie)

At first i was like this is a kitchen related film , for sure there will be some scenes where there will be cooking scenes of delicious meals. No cooking scene. this must be the first no cooking scene related movie. Well, as simple the title can be, its story is bizarre. Unique in a way that i will remember for some time and its somewhat heart warming. the Swedish fellow Folke works for the Home Research Institute. He’s been sent out to rural Norway to observe how much a single man walks in the kitchen. The institute found out that the housewife walks the equivalent from Sweden to the Congo in a year. Isak volunteered for the study but changed his mind. (at first he wants a horse that the institute offers) (but when he found out its just a wooden horse he regretted) Folke has to wait several days parked in his trailer before Isak finally lets him in the house. Neither is allowed to speak to each other or interact. As Folke sits in his pedestal chair watching, Isak makes life miserable for him. Isak even takes to secretly observing Folke. Finally, the two men become friends. I like it when Folke celebrates birthday with Isak with birthday cake and booze. as useless as he can be he was wasted the next day and caught by his boss. I like it when there is a eating scene where Folke gobble down the food his aunt sent him... He gobble down scrumptiously , the pickles, bread, ham and sausages .. So he is not feeling well afterwards.. His boss finds out they’ve become buddies and he fires Folke. The researcher has to take the trailer back to Sweden as part of his contract. He takes it to the Norse-Swede border and leaves it there, so he can spend Christmas with Isak. He arrives back on the farm to find Isak’s sickly horse being loaded onto a truck and that Isak has died. (i wounder if Isak committed suicide.) Folke stays in Norway and lives in Isak’s house. He even becomes friends with Isak’s neighbor who hated him initially. as i said bizarre story but somewhat memorable.
