Movies

During this summer vacation, I watched an impressive movie. It was Full Metal Jacket by Stanley Kubrick. I watched it two times. First was no sub-title, Seconds was on sub-title. This movie is with Vietnam War. I had expected this movie deals with gory battle fields all. In fact, it focuses on various influences in people with process to train the Marine Corps in Vietnam War and describes a young man grows up through the story.
It has mainly two parts. First part describes situation that a training instructor named Gurnney Sergeant Hartman makes young trainees the Marine Corps to send them a battle field. This story is unfolding with pain and madness. Two men are main heroes. Their names are J.T.Davis and Lenard Rorance. Their relationship was like brothers, but Lenard is very bothering parson for everyone because he is very self-confident and fat. He can’t catch up with the others in training so the others are punished as a collective responsibility. All the time they do anything, Hartman shout out to them with various obscene slangs fluently. All of them are about to go mad because of its training hardness, so Lenard is bullied by everyone, to my regret, contains Davis many times. Davis looks like feeling guilty, but Lenard’s spirit is wounded deeply. From here, he is changing to bad direction. He starts to lose his humanity. As a result, he shoots his instructor to die by a hidden shotgun by the perfect way he learned there. After that, he commits a suicide by shooting his head. The first part finishes here. Second part describes mainly about Davis who is sent to a battle field. But I hardly remember this part because the first part is so shocking. I want really you to watch this movie.

My Summer Vacation

During this summer vacation, I went back to my home town Ishikawa at the end of July, and I stayed for almost one month. I used Shinkansen to Maibara station, and I was going to exchange an express train bound for Kanazawa station, but I was lost at Maibara because I was in a very crowded place. There were very different people; businessman, traveler, student and so on. Also I was not accustomed to how to exchange train, so I got very nervous then. That’s why it was an adventure to me.

After I got to my house, I went to a nearest book shop everyday, because no friend from high school or junior high school came to here, so I felt very boring. To my happiness, some friends came to Ishikawa, so I played with them everyday. We enjoyed watching movies or playing TV games daytime, and fireworks at a park at night. The park was very small that it was a little bothering to some people because there are some houses, so they were covered with smokes from our fireworks and left bad smell. I am so sorry.

At the end of August, an annual summer festival performs for three days. There are many any kinds of night shops. I love to eating apple with candy. I was looking forward to it very much. To my regret, rainy days never stopped during the days. Fireworks festival was cancelled and there were less shops than last year so I was very disappointed.
