favorite films


Hello Hello.

Today's post will be about "films."
Growing up, I have always loved films, but my love for them got a lot bigger after I have majored in media and took film classes in Canada.


Films give you so many inspirations. It excites my creativity, and some films can be real feast for the eyes. Even if I had a rough day, I can feel great satisfaction just by watching a good film before I tuck in bed.


Recently, I'm watching films even more than I do usually. I watch one almost everyday.  Yep, I know, a bit too much. haha



So today, I would like to introduce you to some of my recent favorite watches.
I will not go into explaining the summary of each film because it's everywhere on the Internet, and plus, I might spoil the fun. I will just briefly write why I liked watching it.


Hope you Enjoy :)

*****************************************************
①BIG FISH / ビッグフィッシュ
I loved how the film naturally incorporated a fantasy aspect into the story.
I found myself being hooked to the film more and more as the story went on.
And the flower scene you see in the picture....aww so cinematographic!


②Any Day Now / チョコレートドーナッツ
A very moving story that will definitely make you think of something.
I cannot believe that the film was based on a true story, and it made me question why people unconsciously believe in one "correct" form of love.


③Lee Daniels' The Butler / 大統領の執事の涙
Although I had already learned about the history of black people fighting for their rights, I feel this film helped me understand about it a lot more. The frustration, resignation, and so many other complex emotions of the main character was depicted very well in the film. 


③IRIS / アイリスアプフェル94歳のニューヨーカー
The flamboyantly dressed 93-year-old Iris reminded me of how much power fashion can give us. 
My favorite quote from her is..."dressing, and indeed life, is nothing but an experiment."  


③Bill Cunningham New York / ビル・カニンガム&ニューヨーク
I have to say I have never seen someone working this happily and excitedly. 
I was amazed by his passion and powerful eagerness to spread inspiration to the world.
 I feel he was born to inspire people with fashion and photography.


③Coffee and Cigarettes / コーヒーとシガレット

This film might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I loved it. 
I just have this weird love for black and white films, and also films with quibbling lines.

That's a wrap for today! 
I hope I was able to give you  a good suggestion of something to watch this weekend :)
