In the last class of IE core, we class members watched the movie Halving the bones.
This movie is made by Ruth Ozeki and is her autography. This movie is the record of her ancesters. Before WWⅡ, her grand mother went to Hawaii at the age of 17 and loved a Japanese man at first sight there. After all, she backed to Japan and died. In her life, she had a baby but the baby was in America. Ruth Ozaki had kept the bones for five years and returned the bones to her. Because of this history, Lounsbury was neither American nor Japanese. She was halfway to be the one of them. I think she strapped extremely heavy thing to her back in the meaning. However, the reason she have to do that was caused by the very interesting history of her blood. I think her heavy baggage was very meaningful. so her life may be the good one, because other people can't experience that. As for me, I hated the movie, because the movie looks light of Japan; for example, the music played in the movie was like a Japanese pop, but it was too terrible to hear and I thought the movie directer made fun of Japanese culture. This movie doesn't understand Japan. This movie was played in only in America, so Americans may have wrong images about Japan. I can't allow that. However, by thinking this movie itself was the halfway to be the one of Japan or America, this thing become meaningful, but I hate this movie. In the movie Austin Powers, there were the scene which express sumo so funny. I was irritated that. Japanese culture is a difficult one, but I want foreigner to study it.
Secondly, I want to tell you the person who is interesting to me. I respect the movie director Steven Spielberg. I watched many movies of him. I rented the movie Sshindler's List for my studies today. When I watched Jurassic Park first, I was surprised at the world he makes, and the later, after I watched several movies of different directors, I noticed that he was the best movie director of all the director. He is good at making entertaining movies, for example, ET, Indiana Jones, Jaws and War of the Worlds but he has an ability to make the serius movie of historical important events. It was Schindler's List. the movie won the Academy Awards. The movie was so cruel, but the one moves the people's feelings. This movie seemed that everyone think this movie was not made by him. He is great and I want to be a man like him.
