My favoite movie

     I like movie, and I usually go to movie theater alone or with my friend when I lived in Japan. Then I always watch Japanese or Korean movie, because I like Japanese and Korean comedy, love story, action and mysterious movie. And my country, Japan, is famous for animations. Maybe some of you like Japanese animations, right? :) I like "studio ghibli" movies, like "Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (Spirited Away)", "Mononoke-hime (Princess Mononoke)". These are so great movies, so if you have never watched them, you should try them!
     Anyway, I always watch Japanese or Korea movie, so I don't know well about American or English movie. But I watched an American movie on last week, and I was so moved. The title is "The notebook".

     In a hospital, an old man reads a love story for an old woman who has Alzheimer's disease.
     In the 1930s, Allie Hamilton who is a wealthy woman is spending summer vacation in a countryside. Noah Calhoun who is a local worker meets Allie at an amusement park and they soon fall in love with each other. One day, He brings her to an ancient house. It is a house what he wants to buy and restore. Then they attempt to make love but get interrupted by their friend. Her parents don't approve of their love, because She belongs to another social class, and they move to New York with her. He writes 365 letters (=a year) to her, but her mother Anne does not deliver them to her daughter, so she doesn't know he always write a letter. Three years later, the United States joins the World War II, then He and his best friend Fin has to enlist in the army, and She works as an army nurse. Then, she meets injured soldier Lon Hammond in the hospital. After the war, they meet each other again going on dates and then, Lon who is wealthy and handsome proposes to her. Meanwhile, Noah buys and restores the ancient house, and many people want to buy it becauase it is so lovely. When she sees the photo of he and his house in a newspaper It is a house what he built for her.When tehy were a couple, she told him about her ideal house, and he promised her " I'll build your ideal house in the future."  So  she feels divided between her first love and her engagement with Lon.
     The highlight of this movie is which man will Allie choose. And at the last, an old woman who has Alzheimer's disease remains an important thing. I think these are lighlight of this movie.

     It is a lovely and kind of sad story, so I couldn't hold back my tears when I watched this movie. I would like to  recommend you this movie.
