I will talk about Les Miserables. This movie was made in 2012. I thought this movie’s major role is Anne Hathaway. When I was a high school student, I watched by news in the morning. The news said Anne Hathaway cut her long hair for the role. If I were Anne, I would be wearing a wig. In the movie she cut her hair about 20 centimeters. She was crying. I thought she may truly cry.

The first part of the picture, a lot of slaves were pulling the rope in the water. I was impressed. The major role was Jean Valjean. He stolen a crust of bread for his sister, but he was in prison for 19 years. He was paroled. However he didn’t have papers, he wasn’t given food. But he met a bishop. He was helped him. He gave him food and a bed. However he stolen a lot of silvers. Next morning, he was caught by the police. He said this silver was from a bishop, he lied. But bishop said I gave him this silvers. Jean Valjean thought he was born again. He was newborn. He became a mayor. I thought the human can be newborn. He is paroled, but he could rehabilitated. He helped a lot of people helped so he was saved.

 Fantine has a daughter, whose name is Cosette. I was surprised, Fantine dies soon. She cut her hair and pulled out her tooth to make money for her daughter. I thought she is a strong mother. If I became a mother, I can’t it. Jean Valjean promised Fantine about Cosette. He and Cosette were living in secret. I have impressive scene. The scene is when Cosette and Marius met. They fall in love the moment when they met a moment. I thought why they don’t talk, but they fall in love? But he has to go war. He was shot, but Jean Valjean moved to Cosette. Cosette and Marius married. I have good feeling scene. It is Jean Valjean died. When he died, he was watched by his daughter, son and Fantine. He is walking.

The Notebook

I watched the movie last week. I often go to rental DVD shops. I knew this movie’s existence, but I haven’t ever seen it. In writing 3 class we must watch it, and I was glad to know this movie.

This movie is a love story. Allison “Allie” Hamilton and Noah Calhoun met at Noah’s town. At first, Noah loves her at first sight. Allie thought he was a strange man, but she changed and fell in love with him. She had always lived under her parents rule. She got many experiences with him. Those two always went together. But, her parents did not agree because, her lineage is rich, his lineage is poor. Allie’s parents think their daughter became a bad girl because she associated with Noah. Then they have to separate.

My impressive scene was Noah say that “Whom do you have a pain in your heart with 30-40 years later?” this speech of Noah’s affected my heart. When I marry, I want to hear this thing.

They lie down and dance in the road. This scene made me feel longing. I don’t have a boyfriend, I want a boyfriend. And there a kiss scene and their good relationship was very happy. After they separated, Noah sent a letter every day for 365 days. But, Allie didn’t know, because Allie’s mother stopped them. I thought they probably didn’t like each other. Last scene was surprised. They married but Allie was Alzheimer’s. Noah was reading to Allie when she was being treated for Alzheimers disease. I understood “Kiminiyomumonogatari” in Japanese.
