Cast away (2000)

I watched 'Cast away' again. Probably this is my 5th time to watch or maybe even more. I stopped counting how many times I keep watching certain movies because it means nothing to me. Every time I watch them, there is always something that moves me in different ways. Perhaps because I am not the …

Blue Is The Warmest Colour (2013)

This is the love story between two people. Strong, intimate feelings between two people regardless of what or who they are. Some people call it as a gay movie and I don't think there is a reason to go against it because they are gay. However, that is not the point that the movie seems …

Good Will Hunting (1997)

Have you heard of self-defence mechanism? It is a fancy word for being afraid when someone comes too close to get to know you. You might be as friendly as everybody else, because you don’t want to be stood up and differentiated. Just being cool and normal. But when there is someone who wants to …

Glasses [Megane] (2007)

These are people who met each other in a little village near the beach in one summer. The woman with a long red scarf makes the best red-bean shaved ice. She comes to the village every summer to teach gymnastic-kind-of movements that I had never seen before I watched this film. But that is not her …

Lost in Transition (2003)

When I watched this film for the first time, I thought of the time I spent in Australia when I was 24. In a foreign country, you get lost. Not the way you do at home. You get different sort of information constantly from everywhere. At some point, you just give up and you quickly …

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

I like watching the same movie over and over. I don’t know why but watching the same movie is like visiting an old friend, which I don’t have myself but I assume this is what it would be like. You watched a particular movie when you were a certain age and you thought about it …

Days of Heaven (1978)

I think 'Days of Heaven' is one of the most visually beautiful movies ever. If you haven't watched this film, please do watch because you're going to want to watch it several times. I don't know too much about Terrance Malick (director) but he must be really sensitive about how to shoot the lights, winds, …

Rear Window (1954)

Rear window is one of my favorites among Hitchcock's movies. Like many of the Hitchcock's movies, 'Rear Window' takes place in one place. I remember that I was kind of surprised how openly they talk about how different their interests are and why Jeff thinks that Lisa and he should not be together. Lisa is …

Stand by Me (1986)

I recently watched 'Stand by Me' again. I feel like I really should read Stephen King's original book. I just looked into the air, thinking about how naive and innocent I once was as well. Is it because I can't see River Phoenix anymore who died just like Chris in real life? or is it …

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

Butch and Sundance. They rob bank and spend most of the money on expensive vacations, buy drinks for everyone and gamble. No saving for tomorrow. Live at the moment. Even though they were bank robbers, the way they saw the world seems quite innocent. Butch never really shot people until they met a gang in …
