About my favorite works.

Let's start today's blog of mine.
This time, I will write about many things not having a particular theme.
First, I will write about my favorite movie.
Do you know the movie whose title is "About a Boy"? In this movie, Hugh Grant, a famous actor in U.K, plays a man who has no job and lives with inheritance of his father. This is a story about a little boy and a rich man named Will. One day, the man's best friend has a baby and says to him to marry, because to marry will make him have a happy life. But the man has never loved someone sincerely. He likes women very much, but it is just for fun of him. Then he has a good idea. It is the idea that he goes to a party which only single mothers and fathers come and plots to get a new beautiful woman who can date with him. He goes to that party and picks up a pretty woman single mother named Rachel. They talk about their son each other, but actually he does not have a son. He manages to survive from this situation. He begins to fall in love with Rachel seriously. This is the first real love in his life, he thinks. Then he gets confused because Rachel wants to date with him, his son and her son. When he tries to find a good way for that plan, a boy comes up in front of him. He is named Marcus. Will has never seen such a boy. Marcus needs some help of Will, because he has been bullied in his school. So he asks Will to harbor him from his classmates. At first, of course Will who does not like troubles refuses. But he knows that mother of Marcus is friend of Rachel. Marcus’s mother is a strange and unsettled state of mind woman. So Marcus is confusing not only about his being bullied but also his mother. Sometimes his mother named Fiona tries to commit suicide. She hardly cares about her son, Marcus and does domestic duties. Marcus hears Will’s plan and says that if Will helps him, he will pretend to be his son. Instead he cooperate with Will, Will has to make his mother more cheerful and positive. Thorough this communication, Marcus, Will and Fiona grow up each other. And at the end of story, the relationship with Marcus and Fiona becomes a little bit good. Will grows up mentally.
I had to read this original text for my homework in high school days. At first, I did not want to read such a long story. But reading over and over again, I found it is great story.
This is like lessons of our life and really heart- warming. I think this is full with humanity and makes us think our daily life afresh. If you have time, I will recommend you to read the original text or the movie. Many famous actor and actress are in this movie. I am sure that you can enjoy it very much. If you choose the movie rather that the book, it will better for you to watch that with your family or friends.
Next, I will introduce my favorite book.
This is “Battery” and a Japanese novel. Here “Battery” means a pitcher and a catcher in baseball. A pitcher is really confident in him. And he hardly cares about other people. He is a talented pitcher, because of that, he is always isolated. One day, he moves to her mother’s hometown. Then he meets a boy who plays baseball. A boy is a catcher and really thoughtful. Though they are the exact opposite, they get friends each other. A pitcher is too confident and a catcher is too kind. Through baseball and friendship, they can grow up each other.
This is a story about junior high school students. But we can enjoy and sympathize with their feeling and conflict between ideal and reality. We can remember our original intention. I learned that by suffering from something people can grow up and see the wonderful future.
