“ Judy Beyond the Rainbow” released in 2019
This movie focuses on the later years of Judy Garland, who died suddenly at the age of 47 in 1968.
Judy (Rene Zellweger) suddenly became a stardom in “Wizard of Oz”, but due to the effects of stimulants and sleeping pills for dieting from childhood, neurosis and drug addiction surfaced from the late 20s, and he was late. The number of slapsticks and work slapsticks has increased, and in his later years he will live the life of the day while holding two children on a tour of a small theater without a movie job. In order to have a stable life with his two children, he will undertake a more than a month performance in London, which was still popular at the time.
Judy will be able to survive the first day with great singing ability, with the help of manager Rosalin, if he is not in a state where he cannot even rehearse due to neurosis and alcoholism. A warm bandmaster, theater owner, and London fan. I should have finished the performance as it is, but …
Go to the climax while drawing the interaction with the fans, the love with the fifth husband, and the contact with the theater manager Rosalin.
Set in London at Late 60’s, the story goes on with the scent of when UK culture was at its best.
It’s so wonderful that I should have watched it without thinking that the starring was Renée Zellweger.
I’m a sad movie lover, but I’m thinking of showing it to my hateful companion.
The last telop “The heart is not how much you loved …” makes me think.

This is a scary story.

At this time, I want to be scared and try to find something on TSUTAYA, but I usually fail. I see a wide range from chainsaws to evil spirits, but the probability of hitting is low. Last year, I enjoyed “Endless Exoism: The Possession of Hannah Grace”.

This movie is a Paraguay movie and the atmosphere is a little different.

Diego, who was driving while calling her, accidentally hit someone.

Diego was heading to her, but he  escapes from there and returns to his home.

The job of the night watchman of the hospital arrives at Diego, who cannot sleep even after returning home.

After a simple job transfer at the morgue, he groaned out of nowhere around Diego, a suspicious shadow on the monitor, and gradually Diego lost his sanity.

The movie progresses in an atmosphere that seems to be independent production that can not be said in Paraguayan movies, but at the end it is a little convincing way to finish. It’s not a Yotsuya ghost story, but the main character who is driven in is scared that I can not think it is very acting.

It seems that it is a true story, although it may have been adapted.

☆ is set to 2, but if you look at it alone at night, it will jump to about 3.5!

Last year’s scariest movie was “Heledi Tally/Succession”.

In fact, my wife says she’s not afraid horror off western movies, so  she usually laugh and sleep. When I saw movie of this movie, she was sleeping.

This movie was too scared ,so she did’t  laugh and sleep. I think that there are many movie fans who have seen it, but if you like scared, please take a look, it is a super first class.

[Swing kids] Published in Japan in 2020
Anyway, tap dance is cool, and there were some movies in the past where tap dance was great, such as the Cotton Club, but this movie is dominated by Orientals.
It’s not as gorgeous as “La La Land”, but it’s a cute and innocent step. Watching it became hot.
Under the Korean War, the newly appointed chief of the Geoje Island POW camp, which is controlled by the US forces in the South Korea, plans a project to form a dance team with POWs to improve the image of the outside world.
Around Broadway’s black Broadcomer Jackson, a North Korean hero’s younger brother, trouble maker Ro Gisu, an interpreter, Jan Panne, who has to make money for his family, and his wife is separated. “King Byung Sam,” a civilian prisoner of war, and malnourished Chinese with outstanding dance sense gather to form “Swing Kids.”
The story progresses to a climax recital with famous songs such as the Beatles and David Boy masterpieces and the promised Benny Goodman’s “Sing Sing Sing”.
I think the final ending is where the pros and cons are divided, but what Kang Hyun-chul, the director of the masterpiece “Tacha,” wanted to say the most is convinced if it is unreasonable.
“Fuckin’ ideology” I’m sad…
The end-roll dance scene is painful.

[DOGMAN] Published in 2019
Basically, I’d like you to watch the movies because they are so good, but sometimes I can’t say that they are very good, but there are movies that I find fascinating. This time it’s such a movie.
I was interested in seeing this jacket, but I think there are many people who haven’t seen it because it looks dark. I was a little reluctant to watch it.
It is set in a deserted fishing port in Italy, which is the exact opposite of the last movie.
The main character Marcello (Marcello Fonte) runs a dog trimming salon called “Dogman”.
Marcello is a stubborn and poor person, but he lives happily as he goes to play scuba diving on vacation with his daughter who was playing soccer with friends in the town and his wife who left. However, it is used by Simone (Edoard Peche), which is violent and disliked by residents of the town, and is used as a run. When Simone tells me that I am a friend, I cannot help but refuse to get in trouble.
Residents of the town will consult with Marcello and begin the process of expelling Simone.
One day, Marcello bears a stick without being able to refuse the profitable story brought by Simone. However, the day after the crime, Marcello was easily arrested by the police. Simone’s main offense police attempt to testify that Simone’s work was done, but Marcello stubbornly refuses and is convicted and imprisoned on behalf of Simone.
Waiting for Marcello, who was released a year later, was a day like a village eight minutes, where no one was treated by the residents. Marcello, who has lost all his credit, heads to Simone to regain everything…
Marcello Fonte is an actor who plays such a man, who is a small child because he is innocent and indecisive, but he is not disappointed by being dependent on a strong person. I am convinced that it is the Best Actor Award at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. ..
There are various kinds of dogs, but if you like dogs, you can not say that you should watch it.
I can watch the movie until the end as I feel the scary feeling of the actor that makes my wife who hates dark and sad movies watch until the end.
There are 3 stars, but depending on the viewer, 1 or 5 such movies.

Fisherman’s Song] Published in 2020

I was thinking of going to Suffolk, a seaside town where the movie “Yesterday”, which I mentioned earlier, was set up when I had time to go to England, but I changed my mind when I saw this movie.

Go to Southwest Cornwall, the stage for this movie. The story is good, but it is simple, magnificent and the town is cute. You can see from the fashion point of view that you can wear a Fisherman sweater like this.

Music production manager Danny (Daniel Maze) accidentally sees a live performance of the local fishermen’s band “Fisherman’s Friends” when he visits Port Isaac, a small port town in the southwestern part of England. It was Danny who was trying to make a fool of me, but the boss who came to play with him said in a bad joke, “I like a contract and sell it”.

It was Danny who was half suspicious, but without knowing that his boss was joking, he decided to stay alone in the town until a contract was taken. Danny argues the band’s members, saying, “It’s really good, I can definitely sell such a song in London now,” not my own. The fisherman bands who just laugh and don’t get along. Danny wanted to go back to London at once, but gradually he was moved by the band’s song, called the rock in 1752, which he sang. It’s a funny story about how Danny can win the trust of the band, interweaving side stories such as love with the band leader’s daughter who sees it as a lie, the pub management crisis that is the basis of everyone’s heart.

I was wondering if it was a movie like the trendy old man’s sports computer, but it was totally different.

Whether you should prioritize financial success or trust in people, it’s a story similar to the movie “Agent” we covered earlier, but it’s a true story.

You may not feel like watching a movie poster, but the content is good ~ It will be healed.

[Western] Published in 1969
I’m sorry to have never met a woman who likes western movies, but this time it’s a western movie.
The movie music master Ennio Morricone was lost on the 6th of this month, and he had lots of melody in his mind, Nihil was cool, passionate, and sometimes horrifying. Of course, I reminded me of movies as well as music.
A rendition of Akira Kurosawa’s “Bouncer” played by Sergio Leone’s “Bouncer in the wilderness”. I think many boys have become fans.
Since that day, I’ve watched Ennio Morricone chase after music-making movies. (It’s quite a flow at the store)
“Elevator on death row”, “New Cinema Paradise”, “Untouchable”, etc. are famous, but there’s no other reason to give up…
This time I would like to introduce “Western” directed by Sergio Leone. I don’t remember any more movies when it comes to music excitement.
The story is that in the western pioneering era, when a station is built, a town is created and people with various dreams come together, and desires swirl. Brett, one of the pioneers, was one of them, but Frank (Henry Fonda), who suddenly appeared in preparation for welcoming his beautiful wife Jill (Claudia Cardinale) to his family, killed them all. Jill, who has become a widow without starting a new life, decides to take revenge on her husband and live on the land she tried to protect.
Frank, who was hired by the railway company, pretends to be the work of the bandit Cheyenne. Jill, desperately trying to survive, joins Cheyenne (Jason Roberts), who tries to get wet, and the mysterious gunman Harmonica (Charles Bronson), and gets closer to the railroad company and Frank, which is the truth of the case.
Moricone’s music excites the movie more than the actor in the duel scene and the majestic last scene, which are the climax of the movie for nearly three hours.
Sergio Leone invited to Hollywood to shoot the so-called macaroni western asked Bernardo Bertrich to draft the original as an homage to the orthodox western drama, it was made in a form that completely ignored the expectations of Hollywood, and as a result the world It’s a masterpiece that surpasses the traditional Western acclaimed by. (I just didn’t want to receive it in the US because the national actor Henry Fonda was appointed as an enemy)
Claudia Cardinale, who plays Jill, is sensual and may not be female, but it is beautiful. In addition, Henry Fonda, the American national actor at the time, played a villain, and it was addicted to it, further enhancing the goodness of the lone gunman Charles Bronson.
Ironically, since this movie, almost no orthodox western plays have been made. It’s about “Unforgivable” directed by Clint Eastwood.
I don’t think women watch Westerns unless there’s a great deal, but if you are interested, please take a look. If you like “Gone with the wind”, you’ll be fine…
5 western movies I think
1. “Shoot towards tomorrow”
2. “Station wagon”
3. “Midday duel”
4. “Wild Bunch”
5. “Shane”

This year I’m spending without feeling any of the various traditions.

With the feeling of finally, and in no time, autumn is about to begin. The four seasons are said to be unique to Japan. I would be happy if I could feel autumn for a long time ♪ It is my favorite season.

“My Favorite Things”. This song, originally sung as a musical, is the same, but I was taught the originals of various masterpieces with the cover of Sergio Mendes.

There are various versions, but this one is also stylish. Ah, I want to go to Kyoto! ︎

Jane Birkin comes this time from the flow of actresses.

I admire the natural, unpretentious style of white shirts and worn jeans. I can’t imitate beauty, but Drew wants to have a nice smile as a model.

It is healed by a unique singing voice that is kind and faint.

The “Rocking Chair” (1978) is recommended when you want to relax at tea or bar time at home. Of course it is a song by Gainsbourg.

Maybe it’s late in the rainy season this year, and I thought it was finally summer, but the middle of August has already passed and autumn is approaching.
Autumn collection has started in the store, and I am excited when a new item arrives.
The summer heat is tough, but my heart is already autumn.
I usually want to listen to a sentimental song quietly at the end of the summer, when it was noisy.
This song, with a soft melody, is the 1964 song “Hamabe no Monogatari” when actress Brigitte Bardot began singing.
It’s a sentimental song that even an adult drew can return to a maiden.

Soon after the rainy season! ︎
There are several songs recommended by Drew, who is familiar with Amame, but this time I chose the English song “Sad Amiga” sung by Francoise Ardi.
I’ve listened to it for a long time, but it’s very calming.
Ardi, who has been active as a singer and actress since the 1960s, is really wonderful now.

Watermelon Man

What is your summer must-have item?
Speaking of summer, there are various kinds, but I think summer is definitely watermelon. When I was a kid, I fell in love with it and ate it even when the boundary between fruit and skin was not so sweet.
I also learned the magic of bringing out sweetness by adding salt.
Right now, there is also a creamy watermelon that is yellow, but I’ve never eaten it. This year, I am grateful for the benefits of the season.
The Cuban-born conga player Mongo Santa Maria arranges the famous song “Water Melon Man” by jazz master Harvey Hancock in a lively and fun way.

The rainy season seems to make it easier to go out.
I’ve heard that the humidity during the rainy season is good for your skin, but I’m really happy, but in the case of drew, it’s too much to think that it would be bad if the hair was curled up due to humidity and it would be blown like that. Or?
There are a lot of sad songs related to rain, but when I listen to the electric “Sing in the Rain” sung by the Dutch-born Taco from Jakarta, it makes me feel radiant.
It seems that he was originally a stage actor and the movement is interesting, and the singing voice is wonderful.
It’s fun to cover various other famous songs.
