Seabiscuit


Seabiscuit is the drama movie which can show the lifestyle of American. Even though, car becomes very popular in transportation, horse still play an important role for American. I think hourse riding is a good sport. This movie make me know that not only we ride horse but also we have to understand what it wants and be a good team work with it. I was enjoy when i saw this movie as this movie was not too old and also we know the way of living between poor and rich people.

Red, the boy who was left by his parent, has to do everything in order to survive. He lives as he believe in himself that he has a talent. At the same time, Carl, a rich man, lost his son and divorced with his wife. He started his new life with young attractive women. He hired Red to ride a horse in the horse riding contest. Seabiscuit is a small horse that Red rides in competition. At first, everyone laughed at him because seabiscuit is too small and they think that there is no way to win for seabiscuit. But red proved that it is no true. Red and Seabiscuit can win in handicap. I was impressed with Red's attempt. Although, his eye is blind on side or he has anaccident, he never stop practising. He try to achieve his goal. Finally, seabiscuit can with all horses.

However, this movie is a good movie that can teach me to do what i like. Also, it shows that American are bravely. They introduced horse riding to become famous. They can show us that horse is not just an animal but horse could be a best friend of life.

Birth of the blues


Birth of the blues is a musical movie that can show the musical style of American. This movie can make me to know about the old song. I think it is very unique. Singers can sing a song without preparation in advance. They can tell their feeling by using song as a medium. That was very fansinating. Also, I have a chance to know mor about the musical band of American. They are unity. I think they have a good team work. They can mix all instument perfectly.

In this movie, I feel a little bit boring as it is black and white. Jeff grows up near Basin street in New Orelens, playing hes calrmet with the dock worker. He puts together band, the Basin street hot shots. At first, people didn't accept their musical style since they are old fashion and they thind that Jeff music is darkie. But when Betty join their band as a singer, people has changed their mind. They love it. The blue music is very famous. Even though, the band have to faced with serious problem. But they can solve it as Jeff is very smart. He has s good idea about how to solve and how to escape. I like it.

However, this movie would be better if it is not black and white. I think Birth of the blues can clearly show the uniqueness of American music. It is very useful to study about American culture from this movie.

The movie " White Christmas" is a song movie which is very old. The story is about a broadway entertainer, Bob and Davis. They try to show their performance when major general arrive at the end of the show. During on enemy artilley barrage, Davis saves Wallace's life. After that, they make a big performance in nightclub and broadway. They become the most popular at that time.


After 2 years on broadway, they have ashow in florida and recieved a letter from Flackke Faced Hayres in order to audition two girls. But one of girl named Betty reveal that Judy sent the letter. So, Bob and Phill help them to escape their landlord. They pretend to show as two sisters in order to help two girls to the train.

Because of this, they have a fansinating broadway. When Bob want ot make a pitch on the snow. He wishes to get as many people from his division to Pine tree for snow on Christmas Eve. The misunderstanding make Betty have to leave for a job as Phil and Judy fake their engagement in order to make Betty and Bob closer together. Then, all of this get right, Bob and Betty fall in love as Phil and Judy do.


In my opion, I think this movie is a little bit boring as i don't like song movie. I feel very sleepy when i saw it. On the other hand, i like the way they dance because i think it's very fansinating. I like a scene that boys pretend to show as girls i think it's very funny.

Magnificent Seven


This movie is another movie that can show lifestyles of american in western period. When Bannits rob a small village, the village leader hire protector in order to protect their villagers. At first, there was only one cowboy protector but later he hires another five prople so that there are magnificent seven. The seven help to make the village stronge by training the men to use guns or whatever they can find to against the Bandits. In my opinion, I like this scene because the way seven teach can protect villagers from danger. The villagers can make bandits return at the first fighting. But when the bandit come back again for the last fighting, three of magnificent died. Even though, maginificent seven win but then have to lose their friend.

From the movie, I like when the cowboy use the gun. I think it is very uniqueness. Also, I think americans are brave and like to help other people. They are willingness to help even whatever is happened to them. Moreover, I like when one of magnificent seven shoot an army from far distance. It was a great shoot.

On the other hand, some scene of this movie make me feel sleepy like when a scene that young cowboy fall in love with women. But overall story is ok. I think it does not boring at all.

Arrowhead


When I saw this movie, I feel sleepy as there are too much conversation. Also, the action scene is not exciting. But I think this movie can clearly show the lifestyles of American people in western period. I observed that, every americans are brave and love freedom. Especially, I like their uniqueness. Whoever are indians, we can observe them easily from thier get dress as indians love thier culture.

In this movie, Bannon is very hate apaches. He and his friend are cavalry commander, after his superior is killed by apache. He is fired as chief of scouts after killing three indians scouts. After this, the colonel is killed. Bannon hang around and helps the cavalry drive off the attack, even though nearly trooper hates him. But Bannon can make everyone believe that indeans leave the reservation under Toriano's leadership. Even though, the US army is trying to talk peace with the apache and move them to Florida but everything was useless. Toriano still motivate indians to fight with whites. At the end, Bannon force Toriano to be his blood brother. Then, he flight with Toriano bravelly on the hill. I like the way they do as it was fare for everyone. No one will die . It is the best way to challenge that who will win. I think only true man can do this. But again, th action scene was not good and Toriano is died too easily.

The missing


The missing is a western movie style which shows the lifestyles of American. In the past, horse means everything for transportation because there is no car or train to travel. Also, the movie show that it's not only a good indian exist, but also there are bad indian. They use the magic to make people hurt. I was so excited but i was hate them at the same time.

In the story, Meggie serves as the local doctor. She has two daughters. Actually, she has a boyfriend but she like to keep her relationship as a secret. One day, a white man who dresses like indian come to her for medical attention. She was surprised because he is her father. But she isn't receptive of him being there as he left her mother to fend for herself. After that, Meggie's boyfriend was killed. Her oldest daughter was kidnapped by bad indian in order to sell into sex slavery down in Mexico. Because of this, Meggie want her father help her to find Lily( her daughter). She is very brave. I was very impressed her that she does everything to getting her daughter back. Even though, she was hurt by bad magic but she still fight.

Moreover, I like this movie because the action scene is exciting. But i was a little bit upset with ending as Meggie's father was died. I think he should alive and stay with family. I was apprecitate that he love his family more than his life. Although, he was died, he can help Lily back.

This movie is a good movie. At first i think it's boring but when I saw it, my feeling has changed, it was excellent movie. I very enjoyed with it. Also, I think it would have been much better had it not run so long.
