I’ve already wrote some of movie review in my old blog, long time ago. I think it is a good idea to rewrite them and record Japanese part for anyone who is studying Japanese. I would really appreciate it if you would correct my writing. =^-^=

The Shawshank Redemption
I could say that in this word only two kinds of people exist. Those who like “The Shawshank Redemption" or and those who don’t. That is just my humble opinion, of course. However, this movie has very special meaning for me. Without this movie I would still hate English. After I watched this movie I fell in love the beautify of English sound, especially the voice of Morgan Freeman. I think he is my first real English teacher, of course I had some English teacher when I was in school, however, unfortunately I don’t like them at all. In those days, I was not yet realized the wonder of English. I was only watching the movie in dubed version not subtitle one. If you want to really enjoy the movies you should watch original sound. My listing ability was really improved after I stated watching movies in original voice. Although I still have trouble with grammar, however I think I will overcome it eventually because there are lots of help from all of my language exchange friends. I couldn’t say thank you enough for my gratitude for your help.=^-^=

This movie describes one innocent man who is imprisoned for twenty years and his struggle to survive. I sometimes shed tear during watching movies. It is sound stupid considering the fact I am guy, however, actually it is feel really good. If you could assimilate yourself with protagonist you can perceive the story as your own real experience. I have the urge to write down everything about this movie, but that would only deprive surprisement of this movie from you. I want you to feel the same feelings that I felt at the first time watching.So I shouldn’t do that. However, please allow me to write only one part of this movie. Inside the prison, there is a small library in which only few books and from all above that prisoners don’t want to read books from the beginning. The protagonist his name is Andy who tries to change the condition of it. He negotiated with the authorities and finally secured the fund to improve the facility of the library. Some of inmates can realize the joy of knowing something first time in their life. There is a young inmate who was caught stealing a TV. Andy tries to get him a high school diploma for his future. The reason I really like this part is because I also used to hate studying English but now I love it very much. I can really empathize this character. But I’ve never in prison, of course. Lol.

This movie is real master piece! If you were not yet seen it, I really recommend you!=^-^=

Please use the sound file for your Japanese study.=^-^=

完全な主観ですが、世の中には２種類の人間しかいないと思います。『ショーシャンクの空に』を、好きな人とそうではない人です。この映画を見た日から、嫌いだった英語が大好きになりました。英語の音の響きは本当に美しいと思います。特に、モーガンフリーマンの声が大好きです。僕にとって彼は真の英語教師です。実際には学生の時に何人もの英語教師がいたのですが、残念ながら、当時は英語の素晴らしさに気がついてはいなかったので、英語の先生の事も好きではありませんでした。映画も吹き替えで見ていました。やはり、映画を本当に楽しむならオリジナルのサウンドで見るべきですね。映画を字幕で見始めてから僕のリスニング力は飛躍的に向上したと思います。それでも、文法はまだまだ難しいですが、言語交換の友達の助けがあれば、いつかはマスターできると思います。本当に、皆様には感謝の言葉もございません。

この映画は無実の罪で２０年も投獄された男の生存への戦いを描いています。男なのに、たまに映画を見て泣いてしまうのは少し恥かしいのですが、正直、泣いた後には、気分がスッキリします。主人公と一体化すると物語を自分の経験として疑似体験できます。この映画について、全部、書いてしまいたいという衝動に駆られていますが、もしも、そんなことをすると、まだ見てない方の喜びを奪ってしまうので、書くべきではないのですが、でも、どうか一つだけ紹介させてください。刑務所に小さな、ほんの少しの本しかない図書館があるのですが、そもそも囚人たちは本なんて読みたくもないのですが、主人公のアンディーは図書館を拡充しようと当局との交渉を粘り強く頑張るのです。リニューアルされた図書館で、やがて囚人たちも、彼らの人生で初めて何かを学ぶことの喜びを知るようになります。テレビ泥棒で捕まった若者がいるのですが、アンディーは、彼の将来の為に、彼に高卒の証明書を取らせようとします。僕が特に、このエピソードが好きな理由は、僕も昔は英語の勉強が嫌いだったのですが、今は大好きなので、彼にすごく感情移入できるのです。でも、もちろん刑務所に入ったことはありません。Ｌｏｌ

この映画は真の名作なので、もしまだ御覧になっていないのであれば、ぜひ見てくださいね。
