I'm Yoshiko Watanabe. Last week GW I was in bed with a fever. I
couldn’t do anything about study so I read a book and watched a movie to
kill time. The book’s and the movie’s name is “The Witch of the West Is Dead”. The book were written by Kaho Nashiki in 1994 and the movie showed in
2008.
The vital characters of this movie are Mai
and Mai’s grandmother (she calls herself “the witch of the west”). Mai had a
very big stress in school, so she needs to go her grandmother’s house to
refresh. In there, she started “a training of witch”. Then she learned the
means of “a training of witch”. It means “deciding oneself all things to do.”
I
love this movie because it is so beautiful, so peaceful and the characters are
so lovely.
When
I finished watching this movie, I was moved to tears. (When I watch movies I’m often
moved to tears.) In GW I was in bed all days but I had a good time.
It was a great pity that you had fever during Golden Week... Could you get rid of your fever completely?
ReplyDeleteI have never read or watched "The Witch of the West Is Dead", but I'm getting interests in it by the short movie you pasted. Which do you like the book or the movie? Please tell me with your ideas.
Lastly, you should write "Blog#1:" at the top of the title:）(Haruka)
Dear Haruka,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your concern. I’m fine. I make me think My GW was longer than others.
The book was so good. But I like the movie more. I read the book first then I watched the movie. The movie is made faithfully from the book and some original characters of the movie is fit the story. And the scenery is so beautiful than I imaged when I read the book. I can’t believe that a place like there is in Japan where we live.
And very thank you for telling me. (By Yoshiko)
Lastly,you had a good time in what we call Golden Week.This make me relieved.I think it is important for us to take a rest and enjoy the time if possible when there is something wrong with us.A rest make us so refleshed and give us the energy for tomorrow.I`ve not read the book you introduce but I`ve watched the movie when maybe I was a high school student.I remember Nishinomajyo, I mean the grandmother of the heroine,is very sincere person.And this made me careful to my life.
ReplyDeleteI`m very sorry. This↑ is written by Saku Miyakawa.
ReplyDeleteHello!Yoshiko! Sorry, I haven't read and watched “西の魔女が死んだ". I think that this movie is very peaceful. Because it becomes a very kind feeling, I also like such a thing. I will watch this movie.
ReplyDeleteAnd please take care about condition. During summer vacation, let's do many thing which weren't able to do in GW.(Satoru)
You do not need a . at the end of your title. Please write the movie title in English too! I can't read this Japanese!! Then I can comment. Tell us what the story is about and give us a link to the movie's HP or other site with information about it.
