Hello! I am very sleepy now, but I must write about "Obaachan's Garden" because tomorrow, I must write second book report......... I am depressed....
First of all, thank you for teaching the website about Obaachan's Garden, yousuke! I could get knowledge about the movie, and yes, I think Star Wars is more interesting than Obaachan's Garden too. But certainly, as you said, Obaachan's Garden taught us many things, for example about the war, the Great Kanto Earthquake and situation in those days. We don't experience the war and the great earthquake, so such movie is precious thing for us to know history.
Then, I was surprised and respected Linda Ohama's grandmother, Asayo in two points. One is that she have never try to learn English though she lived in Canada. I don't imagine how she lived in Canada. However, she is more Japanese than people live in Japan, I think. 'Japanese' is the people who love Japan. The other thing is that she canceled her photo marriage. Marriage is important thing in our lives. So we must not compromise the life partner.
Obaachan's Garden was difficult to understand completely, but it was good movie to learn about the situation in those days.
