Catch A Fire (2006)


"In my nights and the days, I moved closer to prove my mind that it was him. That monster. Then I said to myself "Patrick, you can end it now". "Break his neck. Kill him. Here in this spot. End it. As I was walking towards him I said "No, oh, no! Killing is not going to help me. Revenge is not good... It's going to carry on war for this generation and the next generation. Let me let him live and then I will he free. I am free and everyone is free." Patric Chamusso recalled. He, like other average people, who always loves peace and persudes his fellow to cooperate with the government, should have led a happy life with his wife and children as he has a job. Meantime, he coached a children football team and led them a champion. Unfortunately, he was thought to be a terrorist. Race discrimination and misunderstanding turn the white and the negro enermies. It annoyed Patric Chamusso a real terroist who volunteered to bomb the oil fiedl where he had been working as a chief forman. Nic Vos(by Tim Robbins) a white anti-terroist expert tried to stop him. Patric was caught and arrested. But he and his people win.
In a nutshell, war and suffering go hand in hand. Thus, no one would get anyting but pain in a war.

Billy Elliot (2006)




Daning, still dancing. But this time, it is a boy, Bill Elliot who performs ballet. Lads, who perform ballet, would generally be thought as a gay, not like a man or not manlike way. His father and brother were against him at the beginning and became to support when they found his talent on such wonderful thing. His father who supported the miner strike gave that up and became a "scab" as he and his fellows always called all for the money needed for Billy. He even went to a hockshop had the golden watch and jewelry which might be inherited from grandpa pawned. Michael Caffrey, Billy's teacher, who had her own life messed up, did all she can to gave him a help.
I love the song at the beginning of the film. It's funny.

My Left Foot (1989)



It is inccredible that a man with only one part of his anatomy animated, his left foot became a famous artist. He could even speak until he is 19 yeares old for the cerebral palsy. He showed his great talent when he was still a boy and had never attended in any school. He shocked his family as he chalked out "MOTHER" on the floor with his left foot. The first work was intended to give a girl he loved as a gift but he failed the first time he showed his love to girls. The second time was his doctor, who was going to married. Life was so difficult for such poor guy. Casually, he met his wife on a charity party. He let his wife know what she did wanna get. She got C.B. Christy Brown.

Chinses Odyssey (2002)


It is funny but some parts are unnecessary and should be cut off.

Open Season (2006)


Life in the woods near a small town is wonderful for it will soon be the OPEN Season. There, Boog, a grizzly bearand Elliot,a mule deer( I may call it a mule or a donkey more exactly and I am quite puzzled why choose such a deer with only one horn left), are leaving the woods from the town at such a dangerous time. Unfortunately, they are kicked off by other animals in the woods. When the "Open Season" comes, they stand together and let the hunters eff off. This cartoon film is so wonderful and looks like a painting.

What Would It Turn Out To Be If Just Let It Go

On a evening bus which moves forward with jerks there standing were two. The Woman showed the young pretty a seat when someone got off. At that time the young pretty were dancing tuned to the jerks. She might do some excise after her danging lesson. She followed her mother. When it was time for them to get off, the young pretty seemed to exercise again. " Hold it steady" The young was stopped. Then the bus arrived at the stop and they got off.
It might be danger if you didn't hold steady. Or might not.

The Guardian (2006)


There's a legendof a man who lives beneath the sea. He is a fisher of men, the last hope of all thosewho have been left behind. Many survivors claim to have felthis gripping hands beneath them, pushing them up to the surface, whispering strengthuntil help could arrive. But this, of course, is only a legend.
Then, the question is "What makes a legend?". Is it what someone didwhen they were alive... or how they're remembered after they're gone? Randall( by Kevin Costner) and Jack( by Ashton Kutcher) told a story.
Jack was eager to know how may persond did Randall have saved when he heard that Randall still kept a record—saved the most lives, 200 or 300, even though jack broke many records which had been made by Randall. "What's your real number?" "22" "22? That's not bad. It's not 200. It's not..." "22 is the number of peopleI lost, Jake. Only number I kept track of." Randall cared much more about the life he's saving and the number he lost not how many he had saved.
Randall becomes a fisher of man and lives beneath the sea after he had signed for his retirement and had his last mission for an emergency.
Do enjoy the last two songs.

Happy Feet (2006)


Dancing, still dancing, even a penguin born with a pair of big feet love daning fiercely. He was born a bit later than his fellows and it was his fate to have something special. He did bring them happiness. There was much danger in penguins' life while they still enjoyed themselves. Beautiful scene and wonderful music, excellent dancing, tap dancing by happy feet.

Dead Man Walking (1995)


"Dead man walking!" the policeman shouted out as Matthew Poncelet (by Sean Pan) was going to be taken to he death chamber. It may be why this film has such a name.
Sister Helen(by Susan Sarandon) didn't knew Matthew until she heard from him and met him in the state prison for the first time. She made a decision to help him free as a non wiht a kind
heart to help anyone as she can. Matthew was a murderer who killed a young couple and raped the lady. It was incredible to average people that there is someone who' willing to help those monsters alike. Sister Helen did. She found him lawers to save him from being killed but they failed and Matthew was killed. Nevertheless, he realized his fault, confessed and wanted to get forgiven from the relatives of the victims.
What would we do to a murder going to be killed?
Ps This film helped Susan win the Best Actress in the leading role of Oscar in 1996.

The Lost Battalion (2001)

"Major, could you read for my Bible?" A badly wounded soldier put his hands on the breast with a bloody Bible. Maj. Whittlesey, got the Bible and found it dipped with blood and unable to be separated. “Almighty God…Let me never be put in confusion…” he hadn’t finished his word till his man was dead. The tale was about a 600-troop which was consisted of men from America, Poland, Ireland and many other countries, against the Germany in WWI. They were separated from their division and in German surrounding. Everyday Maj. Whittlesey collected many dog tags from his dead men. They were forgotten. Even worse, they were shot by their own cannons. All they had to delivery messages was pigeons. They did help them greatly. They insisted fighting and held the battalion. They were told that they would be supported and the French would give them a hand. The support did catch up with them and even their men looking for the French’s backup were killed and never returned. They got lost. They were on their own. Soldiers had no food and tried to get some from the dead Germans in the battle field. They got something to eat and one called the other one. The other one was too excited and stood up. Then bullets came and he fell down. It was a disaster.
They finally were found by the division and got back. Those men got found. Less than 100 or even less was live, I am not sure.
Ps Maj. Whittlesey was a lawyer from America

Last Exit (2006)



Everydy everyone are under more pressure to get where we are going to get with less time to get there. Eventually and unfortunately, we have to have something giving up, something as priceless as life. Two women in anger made the disaster with one(Kathleen Robertson) killed by the other (Andrea Roth) with a gun and her leg cut off. The reason is so simple. They both drived in a hurry. One stood on the other's way and made anxiety, then updated to conflict, chasing and then a disaster.
Life is busy and lives are valuable.

Green Card (1990)

People cheat to get what they want. The Franch wanna get a gree card in America and the lady was eager to live in a apartment with one splendid gard inside. Then they entered into a marriage fraud, or called shame marriage. It was checked by the immigration department. Two officers examined them respectivly. They were asked many questions as how tall she/he was. They did prepare for all the questions but those two were strangers though they had a few time together. The French messed it without doubt but only one question. They all lost their chances. However, these two guys fell in love with each other as they stayed together to prepare the examination.

Gideon and his army

Judge and hero of ancient Israel, whose deeds are described in the Old Testament Book of Judges.The book contains two versions of Gideon's story. In one account, he led his tribe of Manasseh in a victorious campaign against the Midianites, then fashioned an idolatrous image from the booty and led Israel into immorality. In another version, he replaced worship of the local deity, Baal, with that of Yahweh (the God of Israel), and the power of Yahweh enabled his tribe to destroy the Midianites.

Blood Diamond (2006)


It happened in Sierra Leone in 1993. There it is always said" If you want life long, never touch the diamond". It is true.
Diamnods are transparent and a little pink. While I have never wear a diamnod ring or these alike, I have no idea what are they exactly look like. TIA, this is Africa. Those African countries, especially in Sierra Leonein, are rich in diamonds. The soil is red and is painted by blood as they say. It may be the reason why a diamnod is a little pink. When you see the film would you still ask to have a diamond ring or diamond necklace to wear when you get married if you can afford that. If you are humanbeings you will not have such a diamond of conflict.
In Januar 2003, 40 countries signed "The Kimberley Process"- an effort to stem of the flow of conflict-diamonds. But illegal diamonds are still found their way to market. It is up to the consumer to insist that a diamond is conflict-free.
Today there are still 200, 000 child soliders in Africa. They are trained to us guns, knives. etc. any kind weapons to kill people, no matter whether he/she is a child or an old man. They also inevitalbly are killed. They have home but they are homeless

Big Movie (2006)

What goes around comes around
It must be familiar with this photo as it is something alike the one in Shimian Maifu (directed by Zhang Yi-mou). Sure, it plays jokes on so many movies, someone which is as famous as Forrest Gump, Matrix, Broken Mountain and so on. There are some from domestic ones like Shimian Maifu, Kungfu, etc. Just joking. Zhang and his coteries dream of being as the winner of Oscar and direct couples of so called Big Movies. They always dream and make garbage time and again. That's why people always laugh at them and they won't do if these guys just failed without the garbage.
It begins as a pigeon flying and singing in the sky. Then comes a feather falling down. It copies from Forrest Gump. Anyone who has watched the film will remember “Life was like a box of chocolate. You never know what you are gona get.” Here it's quoted and made some changes. Anderson(by Zeng Zhi-wei), is kindhearted. He's cheated and buy a house with his shop mortgaged. It didn't help him earn anything but lost his shop. He wanted to sell it and get the money back. However, he gave it up as he saw Mr. Wei had the same story as him. He refused to share the anger and grievance. Then a miracle comes. One occasional boom brought him a spring below the lawn at he front of his house. Fate changed and he became rich as he sold the spring water.
Big Movie, just a joke.
