Something special I did during summer vacation

Something special I did during summer vacation is that I wore yukata and went to a fireworks festival. I haven't worn yukata since elementary school! The yukata is my mothers'. After I and my friends planned to go to fireworks festival, I went to Obiya with my mother. We looked around the shop. There are many kinds of obi. I choose two different types obi but I could not decide one. My mother and saleswoman decided one which suited me. Its color is dark pink and brown and there are some flower design. I bought the obi and geta at the shop. In addition, at the day of the festival, I and my friend had saleswoman dress yukata at the shop. I was very happy I could wear yukata in this summer! I'd like to try again next summer.

Review5: Toy Story

This time, I watched Toy Story. When I was child, I probably watched it. But I don't remember it clearly. So, I selected Toy Story. 

This story’s main characters are toys. A lot of toys appear and they are Andy’s toys. They have a common secret. They are alive! They can move and talk like humans. But it is a secret. They pretend to be only toys in front of humans. Among them, Woody was the most favorite toy to Andy. Andy played with Woody every day. Both Woody and Andy liked each other. 

One day, Andy’s birthday had come. It was a happy day, but toys had a worry because they thought that if he gets new toys, they would be thrown away. They thought so. At that time, he entered his room carrying a big present box. Inside the box was Buzz Lightyear. It was the latest toy. Then, Buzz Lightyear became Andy’s most favorite toy. Woody’s state of mind was complicated because his position was lost to the new hero. And Woody was jealous of Buzz Lightyear. 

At that time, a problem was occurred. Andy’s family had to move! It was a big problem to the toys. They were worried again if they will be thrown away. In the middle that toys were worried and Woody was jealous, an incident was happened. Buzz Lightyear fell from the room’s window. It was an accident, but toys reproached Woody because they thought that Woody was criminal. The reason is that only Woody didn’t welcome Buzz Lightyear.  

When Andy went to a restaurant, he tried to bring Buzz Lightyear. But Buzz Lightyear disappeared. Andy felt down. He brought Woody instead of Buzz Lightyear. Because Buzz Lightyear saw the situation, he gripped the car and shadowed them. On the way to go to restaurant, Woody met Buzz Lightyear and they started fighting. Both of them were so absorbed that they lost sight of Andy’s family. So, they ran after Andy desperately. However, unfortunately, they were caught by a boy whose house is next door. The boy called the “killer of toys”. 

After arriving to the boy’s house, Woody and Buzz Lightyear were scared to see his room. There were a lot of toys which were remodeled by the boy. There, the boy tried to kill Buzz Lightyear. So, Woody and Buzz Lightyear co-operated with the toys and tried to run away from the fierce boy. Thanks to the toys, Woody and Buzz Lightyear could run away and get back to Andy’s house. However, they couldn’t be back in time for the departure of Andy’s family. They tried catching him several ways, and at last, they joined friends of toys and Andy. Andy could find his favorite Woody and Buzz Lightyear. He was able to smile again! 

This movie is short, because this movie is made for children, I think. It takes about 80 minutes to watch. So, it’s easy to watch. Woody is a good boy, but he is like a child a little. On the other hand, Buzz Lightyear is like an adult. Also, a lot of characters of toys appear at this movie. Because their interesting characters, this story is loved by a lot of people.

BR 2-10: Penguins

When I was an elementary school student, I was interested in penguins very much. Also, my mother did. So, I often read books and movies about penguins. In addition, I went to a penguin aquarium in Nagasaki at that time. I learned a lot of kinds of penguins and how they live from them. As I read this book, my memories about penguins came back. Penguins are very cute but not only cute. They live among the severe environment. After reading this book, I felt that I' like to see penguins!!

Review6: Baymax ( ●ー● )

This time, I watched Baymax. Baymax is a care robot. This story's main themes are about friendship between Baymax and Hiro and brothers' love, I thought.

The main character Hiro Hamada is a boy genius at robot engineering. He is only 14. He had been enthusiastic about robot fighting at first, but it was illegal. His older brother helped his younger brother Hiro. His name is Tadashi Hamada. He is the maker of Baymax too. He asked Hiro to enter his college. His college is a college of engineering. At the college, he made Baymax. Hiro met his brother's friends, saw lab and attracted attention a lot. So, he decided to enter the same college. But, everyone can't enter the college easily. If Professor Rovert Callaghan would accept him, he/she can enter the college. Rovert Callaghan is Tadashi's teacher and a recognized authority on robot engineering. For entering, he/she has to show an original presentation and impress the professor. So, Hiro invented a micro robot". A micro robot is very small but it is a big epoch-making invention. His presentation could success and accepted to enter the college from the professor. Hiro, Tadashi and their friends were pleased!

At the happiness night, a sad incident was happened. There was a fire of unknown origin at their college. Tadashi saw it and burst in the fire to rescue Professor Callaghan. Tadashi died in Hiro's presence. He was depressed because he lost two great persons, Tadashi and Professor Callaghan and his micro robot at once.

After the sad accident, Hiro had been shut himself in his room all day and day. So, his aunt and Tadashi's college friends were worried about that. They encouraged him. But his wound was so deepen. Everyone couldn't heal his wound. At such time, a big man appeared in front of Hiro. The man was Baymax! Surprisingly, Baymax was alive. Baymax tried to heal Hiro's pain. And Hiro started open his heart to Baymax. At that time, they found a micro robot at his room. They were counting on it and started to look for the rest of micro robots. Then, they arrived a warehouse. At the place, they found a lot of micro robots. However, at the same time, they encountered mystery man with a mask and followed there. Hiro and Baymax could run away from the man with great difficulty.

After that, Hiro guessed that the firing is not accident but intentional incident. In addition, the criminal may targeted the micro robot. He was so angry about that. He decided to confront the criminal.

He thought of a good idea. He made new suits for Baymax, Hiro and Tadashi's friends and version up themselves. And then, they entered the criminal's secret base. At there, they knew the some truth. At that time, the mystery man appeared again. They fought against the man. In the middle of the time, they saw the mystery man was Mr. Callaghan! He disappeared in front of them with a lot of micro robot. And then, they guessed why Mr. Callaghan brought about the incident. He had a daughter and she disappeared because the transporter equipment was broken although she was in.

Because they knew all the truth, Hiro and Tadashi's friends tried to stop Mr. Callaghan's revenge. In the middle of the fight against Mr. Callaghan, Baymax and Hiro entered the transporter equipment boldly to rescue Mr. Callaghan's daughter. In the equipment, they could find professor's daughter but they would not be able to back to the real world. So, Baymax decided to be sacrificed himself and let Hiro and her to go back to the real world.

The end could reach happy end excluding Hiro. He lost Baymax... At that time, he found a chip from wreck of Baymax. Based on the chip, he restored Baymax's life. He could meet the best partner Baymax again.

Before I watched this movie, I underestimated it. But I was very impressed at this heart warming story. I felt so grateful to kindness of Baymax. In addition, Baymax was very cute! I want to meet Baymax and hug him someday. I wish Baymax were this world and here.

However, if you don't live in there, you will never understand of the meaning about the phrase. It is very funny.
