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...

Japanese Television program "Yamato Nunnery Diary”

 My favourite television program is NHK's television documentary "Yamato Nunnery diary". 

This documentary is a daily life about 3 women who live in nunnery temple in Nara prefecture's mountain side, Western Japan.  

I am mesmerized by these women, Gojushoku who is a leader of the temple, Jito-san, who is another nun, and Mattsu-chan who helps the temple.

They are very bright character whenever they are smile.  Their cooking style makes me think how important slow foods are.

I wonder how they survive covid-19 lifestyle by their nice smile faces.  I expect new series now.

R.I.P the French film director, Bertrand Tavernier

Image
 I was sad to read an obituary of a French film director, Bertrand Tavernier last month. My first his film was "Un dimanche à la campagne" on a television. There was a midnight television program aired an arthouse movie weekly.  It was a good opportunity for a moneyless school girl to watch some great movies which I didn't know at that time.   "Un dimanche à la campagne" was a story of a quiet but dramatic daily life of one old artist. There was a several black moments which the director studied the black color carefully.  It was a picturesque film. I was very impressed by this film and went to see his film,"Round Midnight" at the movie theater with my mother. This film taught me how musician profession is a hard work for life. R.I.P Monsieur  Bertrand Tavernier

Japanese nostalgy popular song, "Distance under the star sky" by THE ALFEE

Image
 I listened this song persistent repeatedly just after my best friend passed away one year ago. This band is my BFF's favorite band and everybody knows their name in Japan.  This guitar trio members are different looks, one is Japanese City pop style look, one is Japanese folk song style, and another is Rococo style. I wonder they split their band as difference in music direction like typical band’s break up story. This song's theme is love song. Our friendship is not love but sister love. I always cried  by the phrase,"Is it only one mistake as saying good bye, isn't it? for some reason at that time. "Distance under the star sky " by THE ALFEE A brast wind is dancing in my mind now Is it only one mistake as saying good bye, isn't it? Even there is away from 500 mile We ask each other in our minds again as night comes Distance under the star sky Burn up!  Resistance of love! We get over the night that blocks us One more to harbor you.... Baby, Come back! ...
