MOVIE and STORY

"Roman Holiday"


A queen, Ann, who was travelling Roma for international friendship was very tired. Someday, she wanted to go downtown. After she had walked around the town, she slept. Then an American newspaper reporter found her and he thought it would be a chance to report, next he tried to report her with his fellow worker. He became friendly with Ann little by little, and they fell in love. At the end, she must return to the Queen state, then the secret didn't let out.I think the story is real adult romance love story. Audrey Hepburn was very beautiful, so she stole my heart.

Hollywood. William Wilar. With Audrey Hepburn. Dolby Digital, 1953. "Roman Holiday"


"KUMONOITO"

Kandata who had gone to hell was given a thread from heaven by God, so he caught it and tried to climbed, too. He was afraid that the thread would snap, then he gave a kick them. Just then, it snapped and he went back hell, again. I thought the story was written for children, Japanese old stories which be related to God had morals. The main subject of the story was egotism. The hell was a symbol of egotism, so Kandata couldn't run away from there, result from he was a egotist to the end.
