Ryoga's Movie Blog

  I watched the movie The Shawshank Redemption. The film is about Andy, who is serving a life sentence for the murder of his wife and unfaithful lover, who meets a group of inmates led by Red in prison and survives inside. The days that Andy, an innocent man, perseveres with hope. The story progresses smoothly until the middle of the book, but by the end, the story unfolds at once. I was amazed at the days that were all calculated. Even though his expression was clumsy, I admired his actions of earnestly holding on to hope and cherishing his trusted friends.

 I watched Seven Samurai, which is over 3 hours long, but I was able to get into it and didn't feel it was too long. The story itself is not fresh, as there are many remakes, but the scenes, especially the battle scenes, are worth seeing because the filming technology was not as developed at that time.

 The setting is Alabama in the southern United States in the 1930s. It is a social drama with racism as its theme. A young black man is arrested for sexual assault of a white woman. This is the story of his lawyer, Atticus, and his family. The story is not limited to the courtroom, but also depicts the heartwarming interaction between Atticus and his two young children. Atticus stood alone against the trial and fought. The black people in the audience praising him will remain in our hearts.
