Watching an American film,"Nomadland"

Image
 I had been a big fan of The Academy awards since I was 13 years old. I was used to guess the awards before I couldn't even watch some nominated films in Japan and hand over the paper I wrote my bet to my mother until the oscars day when I was a teenager. Anyway, I was looking forward to watching a this year's sure bet film,"Nomadland". I recently watched it. Because  I had been a long movie buff wastefully, some scenes of this film reminds me of some films such as "Days of Heaven", ”The Whale of August", and, a French film, " Vagabond ”  I have a common with a leading role's husband liked DIY for a car(So does my husband), therefore, I started to synchronize Frances Macdormand's character in this film. But, Not her, I felt relieved to watch her sister's home and realized I can't live like this film. I was fully enjoyed this calm, big and beautiful American nature scenery film which recapture my past that one kind old couple in Cali...

 I have spleepless nights cause of exhausting to watch actors act too much in "Naoki Hanzawa 2" on Sunday nights. Episode 7 of "Naoki Hanzawa" is a story based on Japanese Airline's bankrupt problem in 2020.  In real story, major banks that invested JAL(Japan Airline) had to forgive all debts.  In this episode, the main character, Naoki Hanzawa challenged to resist the goverment power and succeeded to pursuade bankers of other banks to refuse to resign their rights caused of penned by the original writer who was used to be an elite banker. There is the most popular drama in this season and even in a several years.  There are some phrases like " Oshimai-death!(means T-h-e E-n-d!)" . These are becoming phrases more elementary school children must mimic.  I understand the words " Please enjoy our stand up comics by cousin brothers" by twitter of the Japanese  character actor, Teruyuki Kagawa who acts with his cousin and also Kabuki actor, Ennosu...

About Audience rating of Japanese TV drama" Naoki Hanzawa"

Image
  I enjoyed watching Japan's Sunday night drama " Naoki Hanzawa"'s sequel.  This economic entertainment drama about Japanese banking makes me sleepless the night just after airing the drama cause of  a breathtaking story line and actors who try to show off their acting skills.  You can not watch it while playing around with your iphone to catch the story.  I missed some scenes in one episode cause  a sudden phone call from my father in-law who didn't watch this drama.  Therefore, I couldn't follow the story and decided to watch an online distribution service.  There is no original drama in it although there is a digest version of it.  This fact came up to the viewers to go to watch only televisions and boost up the audience rating. Then, I have to tape it on VCR.  I think the audience ratings doesn't matter this net society now. Anyway, This drama is a good drama.
