"Love means never to say your're sorry."

Oliver married an Italian girl, Jennifer despite opposition from his strict father. They were happy but also poor. Meanwhile, Oliver finally passed the lawyer examination and got a job. They were supposed to be happy, but Jennifer got leukemia......

I was impressed by the actions and feelings of Oliver and Jennifer who care for each other. I thought it was wonderful to be able to love someone intensely and live for them.

The Half of It

Netflix映画『ハーフ・オブ・イット:面白いのはこれから』評価と感想 ...

I introduce The Half of It released in 2020. The film is about the love and friendship of the girl and the people around her.

Leah Lewis plays Ellie Chu. This character is shy and an Asian-American student with very good school grades. She makes extra money writing homework papers for her fellow students. And Daniel Diemer plays Paul Munsky. This character asks Ellie to write a love letter to Aster Flores, whom he is in love with. She refuses Paul's request at first because she secretly loves Aster. However, Ellie decide to accept Paul's request only once, as she needs to pay for the electricity for her house. Astor is attracted by the contents of the letter and sends a reply letter to Paul. Paul asks Ellie to write a letter again, and she reluctantly accepts it.

 

Good things about the film are that you can see the cute actions that Ellie and Paul try and error to catch Aster's attention and by contacting Aster on behalf of Paul, Ellie becomes aware of her love for Aster. Bad things about the film are that Paul is not able to tell Aster his love on his own and the deeds of Ellie and Paul deceive and hurt Aster.

 

I'd like to recommend this film because I can understand the feelings of Ellie, Paul and Aster. They love someone while hiding their true self. This film makes you think whether you should be your ideal self or your true self for love and friendship.

Mowgli was found by the wolves in the jungle.

The wolves brought him back to their den. After that, Shere Khan came in and told the wolves to give Mowgli to him. Shere Khan wanted to kill Mowgli. However, the wolves headed Mowgli to their group and protected him from Shere Khan.

Mowgli was raised as a member of the wolves. Mowgli learned a lot from the animals around him as he grew up. One day, Mowgli finds farmland where the villagers live. Mowgli thought he was exactly like the villagers. Mowgli brought back the fire from the farmland, it used it as a way to counter Shere Khan. After fighting with Shere Khan, a change appears in Mowgli's mind.

He decided to go where there are people. Mowgli said goodbye to the wolves and said, "I'll be back, don't forget me."


The story described friendship and family love between animals and the human. I don't know if Mowgli was happy raised by animals. Should he live in his original from as a human being or in the he was born in? I can answer this question. However, I believe the bond between Mowgli and the wolves and other animals is real.

Holly the Eco Warrior

Level 2: Holly the Eco Warrior』|感想・レビュー - 読書メーター

This story is about a girl named Holly tried to protect the trees in the garden from her family. Holly loves nature and has always wanted to protect the environment. She is also a vegetarian and likes organic vegetables and fair trade. 

One day, her father told Holly that he would cut down a tree to build his new office in the garden. Holly was furious with it and left the house with a dog, Eco. She decided to stay in the tree house. Her parents repeatedly persuaded her to come down from the tree.

Holly called her friend, Grace and then she explained the whole story. After that, Grace and some other friends arrived at Holly's house. They were carrying extra food, cartons of fruit juice and magazines. They said Holly's actions were correct. They decided to stay on the lawn under the tree. Holly's parents were angry when they saw the scene and called their parents. Holly's friends protested their parents and were still with Holly. However, some of Holly's friends went back for their holiday because it was summer holiday.

Holly stayed in the tree house, but one  heavy rainy day, the tree house broke and she hit to the ground......


I could't sympathize with Holly. Her actions bothered her family and involved others.
Also, I think she was too hard on others. Holly was a vegetarian. That was fine, but It is not good to impose her opinion on everybody. She need to consider her behavior and understand other people's opinion.
