僕の初恋をキミに捧ぐ( I Give My First Love to You.)

僕の初恋をキミに捧ぐ Trailer

Actually, this movie is adapted from a famous series of comic books. And the comics are published for a long time and I have been reading and chasing them from the beginning to the end. If my memory is not wrong, the series finished last year. Wow, I have been waiting for the end of the comic since I was a senior high school student. It has been so long a time!

To me, comics always have some special magic that attract me and keep me from stop reading them. Even I am a college student now, I still cannot totally stop myself from reading them. It’s kind of shy and embarrassing to admit my unstoppable addition to comic books. However, I think I have grown up a little bit for I reduce a great number of comic books which I read per month comparing to before. Now, if I really want to get away from the tiring and complex literature world, I will still go to rent some comic books to relax myself. I always think if I read them properly in numbers and time, comic books will not be harmful to my regular life.

Because I loved the series of comics so much, when I saw the trailer of it, I was so excited. Also, another reason was I liked the female character of the movie, so she made me want to see this movie more. Maybe I am a too sensitive person, so it is very easy to make me cry. When I started to see this movie, I cried when it began at the first few minutes. Because the male character was a boy who was born with heart disease, he was not allowed to run, to play with his friends and was forbidden to eat a lot of kinds of foods. When he saw other children play together happily, he wanted to join them. However, he couldn’t, because once he started running, his heart would not afford and that may cause him to death. When he was a kid, he overheard the doctor told his parents that he couldn’t live over twenty years if there was no suitable hearts for him. So he tried very hard to complete everything he wanted, and what he cherished most was his girlfriend.(122.116.36.43:2009/funnews/index_note.asp?new...)

I thought this movie was so cruel and so sad. Because I finished reading the series before I saw the movie, and in the original version, the male character would finally get a suitable heart and get married with the female character. So when I saw the movie, I just told myself it was no need to cry for him, he would be fine in the end of the movie, However, much to my surprise, the end of movie was changed and different from the original one! He died! That was what I didn’t think up before. I was so shocked and my tears dropped down as soon as the doctor proclaimed his death. I was so sad about the end but I thought maybe it was the best way to end this movie, because when I read the comics, I felt it’s kind of ridiculous that the male character could find the suitable heart on time. So, I thought maybe to make the end tragic was the best ending for the story.

Dear John

Actually, I knew the book before the movie. I remembered it was in senior high school when I first met the book. At that time, I was a third-grade student who seldom had leisure time to read novels, but I was attracted by the introduction and the coverage of the novel so I didn’t have the second thought then I bought it home. I remembered it didn’t take me too long to finish the book. Before I read this novel, I always hated to read foreign novels because I thought most of them were translated so poorly that I could not understand them easily. However, after I read this novel, I found it easy for me to understand and I seldom found weird translation in it, so maybe that was the reason why I started to read foreign novels again.(http://gigifilm.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/dear_john.jpg)


The main topic of the novel was regular but by the author, it became so attractive and so touching. When I finished reading, I was so sad and hoped for another end. I just couldn’t resist the sad ending. It’s so funny that I loved tragedies so much but I also hated to see the bad endings for they always made me cry or sad.


Because of this novel, I started to know the famous author “Nicholas sparks.” And because I liked “Dear John” so much, I found all of his other books to read. After I knew some information about the author, then I knew that he was a very famous writer for love novels. Recently when I watched the American series, I even saw people reading his novels. In addition, almost every of his works was adapted into movie versions. There will be another new movie which was also adapted from his work “The Last Song” soon.

The movie version was a little different from the novel in some small ways, but the outline was not changed. What surprised me was when I saw the trailer at first time, I was so shocked because the man who played “John” and the woman who played “Savanna” were exactly the same as I imagined in my mind. The dispositions of the two were so suitable for the two characters, so I was so expected to see the movie. And it ended so well and I didn’t feel disappointed at all. It was so touching and at the end of the movie, I cried. I felt so sorry for John and Savanna. Maybe because love between these two people was so pure, when they couldn’t end well, people get heart-broken.


It occurred to me very late that the title of the book “Dear John” had some special meaning. Because the man’s name in the movie was “John”, it implied he would get dumped in the future. Wow, it reminded me that I would never call my son “John” because it was unlucky!

You've Got Mail

You've Got Mail Trailer

Actually, this movie is a kind of old but very famous one. At that time when this movie was played in theaters, it soon became so popular and so famous. I admit I have watched this movie for many times but when I switch the channels and happen to see it, I will still watch it to the end, even though I already knew the whole story of the movie. However, I seldom watch it from the beginning and I always watch from the middle part, so I don’t exactly remember the very start of the movie. Until recently, I happened to watch it played on HBO from the very beginning, so I watched it. To my surprise, it seemed that I have not watch the movie from the start, and since I have not watched it for quite a time, so I decided to watch it overall again. Then after watching it, I was very contented. No matter how much time has passed, the movie was still so good.

I think the reason why the movie is so famous is because the male and the female protagonists- Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. These two have cooperated in another earlier movie called “Sleepless in Seattle” and that movie was a big hit. So that’s why their cooperation of the second time is so attractive and expecting. Actually, the movie did become very popular at that time so once again Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan succeeded in making people touched, warm and happy.

The story of this movie is flat but intriguing. It’s not from a very big or hard issue or a big picture but just a warm and small story. It makes people smile and gives people happiness. To be honest, I like movies with simple and easy topic than those with heavy and hard issues. I think the easy and relaxing movies can give me more energy and make me happier when I finish watching them. Maybe some people will say that the love comedy or stories are shallow and with no meaning in them, but I think the essence of my seeing movies is for fun and to chasing relaxation, so why I bother to see something which will make me feel unhappy. So, I prefer love comedies for they can make me feel so contented and joyful. (http://image.wangchao.net.cn/bt/1240998373569.jpg)

The topic of the movie is actually up to date because more and more people make friends from the internet nowadays. However, the story may be misunderstood by some people because it’s not very possible to meet someone really fits you and who you can spend the rest of your life with. Yes, the movie does provide us with some romantic imagination but we still have to tell the reality from the imagination. We can get some hopes from the movie but they are not must. I admit I sometimes will be influenced by these love movies, but I just cannot stop watching them!

Love Letter

The reason why I knew this movie was because the name of the male protagonist. When I was in junior high school, there was a famous writer whose name was the same as that of the female character of this movie. Also, the writer said he borrowed the name of the movie’s character because he liked this movie very much. It is the first I noticed this movie, but I still didn’t have too much interest and motivation to rent the DVD to watch. And it was not until my freshman year that I had the chance to watch this movie. Because I took a optional class which means to introduce the novels of nowadays, and at that time the teacher mentioned the love stories, he said this movie was always a classic one in the history of love stories, and that’s why I watched this movie.(http://blog.udn.com/community/img/PSN_ARTICLE/jane12201106/f_1044623_1.jpg)



Maybe the movie was for quite a time so the style and the characters were not that fashioned, but still it is a good movie. The story took place in two parts in different period of time. One was memory and the other was present. The story was about a girl who was taking a trip to try forgetting her dead boyfriend. She visited the places of her boyfriend’s past and tried to understand his past life. She wanted to know everything of him before she totally forgot him.



The most famous and the most touching scene was when the female protagonist yelled to the mountain, where her boyfriend died “How are you?” She cried and yelled “How are you?” for so many times and this scene made so many people cry for the voice of the girl was so pity and so sad. You could tell from her voice that she loved her boyfriend so much and she still could not move on to a new life because she was still in love with him and cared about if he was ok. At that time, it was snowing. You just see a beautiful girl crying, yelling and running closer the mountain and keeping asking to nothing “How are you?” The scene gave a heartbreaking atmosphere so the audience felt sympathetic and so sad for the girl. .(http://photo.sohu.com/2004/02/10/19/Img219021936.jpg)


Honestly, I couldn’t stop crying when I saw this scene for I also felt so sad and so sorry for that girl. Maybe you can find it to watch sometime and will get touched by it yourself!
