Watching an American film,"Nomadland"

 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...

My memoirs of David Lean's films

 I am doing choirs while a film" Doctor Zhivago" on Japanese television now.  My first film experience of a British film maestro, David Lean's works at a movie theater was " A passage to India".  There were  only me, my mother and a young mother with a baby child in the big cinerama system theater in Japan's motor city.  The British actors' boom in Japan never happened at that time before films like " Another Country" and "Maurice" came to Japan.

I was overwhelmed by his film's location and main characters' delicate feelings even I was a junior high school student who had not studied Indian history yet. I was lucky to watch his late film in the big theater on the original release date.

I watched another his film "Ryan's daughter" some years later.  I also was almost alone with another stranger in an empty old once adult movie theater in my town.

I am wondering you'd better watch his films on the big screen while watching it in my house small portable TV now.

Thank you for sharing my common old memoirs!
