Movies Perfume-a story of a murderer-

The scene of this movie is in France in 18th century. A lady has borne a boy in a very stinking and nasty fish market. She tried to kill the boy by leaving him. But unfortunatelly, a few people found the boy and prisoned her. And, a few days later, she was executed.By nature, the boy named grenouile had a special ability on “smell”. Since he lost his mother (and he didn’t his father), he grew up in home for orphans.

Years later, he was engaged in really hard labor. One day, he knew the existence of “Perfume”, especially, a legendary perfume which had found when a pyramid had opened, and everyone who had smelled had felt as if they had been in a dream for couple of minutes.It had been made from thirteen smells. But, no one knew the exact smells. So, he wanted to re-create a perfume which had same effect. Since, he had a strong interest in smells, he wanted to know about perfume and smell any more. By chance, he got a chance to work in a shop which sold and made perfume.

One night, when he was walking down the street, he met a lady who smelled really good. He wanted to smell her body, and he captured her. But, accidently he killed her. Then, she found that smell of creature is not permanent. So, he was eager to preserve smells of things which ordinary people can’t feel, such as glass, cats, and especially lady.

Weeks past, he asked his owner and quited the shop to enter the school where he was able to learn the way to make perfume in south France. On his way, when he was soaked with rain, he noticed that he had no smell. For him, everything had their original smell, so it meant that there was no existence in his world!

Monthes past, he larned some way to extract smells which he hadn’t known. He wanted to know whether he can extract the smell of lady in a way, or not. One night, he experimented on a hooker whose smell seemed to be essential to re-create the legendary perfume. He had intended to experiment and release her at that, but since she tried to run away, he killed her.

The result was that he could extract lady’s smell in that way. Since then, every time he met a lady whose smell seemed to be essential, he killed them and extract smells. Finaly, he killed thirteen ladies and re-created that legendary perfume.

A couple of days past, a lady’s body was found in his house by police, and he was prisoned. Of courese, he was bound to pay the penalty by his death.

When the day came, he was taken to the park to be executed in public.But・・・by using the legendary perfume, he made everyone in that park fall in love each other. But, he found that no one really loved him.

Owing to the perfume, everyone convinced that he was innocent and he went out of the prison. He all the way went back to the town where he had born, and he poured the rest of the perfume to himself. Suddenly, all the people on the street were eager to obtain him, and began to eat him. Then, he died. At last, he was be loved by people.

 I choiced this movie as “my movie” since it is easy to

Religious

Japanese people are little religious.

Most of the Japanese people are Buddhist. But most of them celebrate Christmas. In adittion, these days they begin to celebrate two days early. It is strange for Buddhist to celebrate the Christ’s birth. Of course, I’m not religious, so I celebrate Christmas. Also, these days there are many people who are Buddhist who marry in charces. It’s also strange. If they are religious, they should marry in temples.

But, Japanese people sometimes become religious. It is when some people died. The way to hold funeral is different from their religion. For example, since my mother’s family have believed in Shintoism, when my grandmother died, they called Shinto priest, and prayed for my grandmother in Shinto’s style. The way to behave is really different from the way to do in Buddhism. At that time, I felt that Japanese people are little religious. They became religious when they have something to wish, especially on New Year’s Day. Many people pay a visit to a shrine or temple on that day.

So, I don’t think Japanese people are not religious, but I think that Japanese people are little religious.

Travel

The most memorable travel is the one visiting Kyoto with my mother for four days. Since my relativities live in Nara, we didn’t stay in hotel, but stay at my relativitie’s home. The reason why we visited Kyoto is that at that time I was crazy about “Bakumastu”, especially ”Shinsenngumi”, who had fought for the Edo shogunate, so I wanted to visit the places where remembered in connection with them in Kyoto.

SInce my mother had often been to Kyoto when she had lived in Nara, we went to Kyoto without any maps. In addition, most of the places where we wanted to visit(see) didn’t exist, so there were only stone monnuments which say that they used to exist in this place. So, it was really hard to find the places where we wanted to go.

We visited many places during this stay, but the places which I especially excited were “Oumiya” and “Mr.Yagi’s house”. Oumiya is an inn where Sakamoto Ryoma and Nakaoka Shintaro had been killed, and Mr.Yagi’s house is a japanese house where Shinsengumi had lived for a while, and Serizawa Kamo (who had been a leader of Shinsengumi) had been killed.

Though it was really hard, I llove this pne. I hope to go such a travel again! 

Happiness

1 Friends

Friends makes me happy. Every time I meet my friends, I feel so happy. Especially, chatting with friends about nothing is the best. Of course, I sometimes quarrel with friends. But, whatever the cause was, I try to apologize to her for quarrel as soon as possible.

2 My dog -Ram-

I have a dachshund named “Ram”. I named her “Ram” , but have no meanings. She is now two years old. Every night someone (family member) come home, she always express her welcome with lying on her back. So, we have to stroke her belly. What is strange, she sleeps with my mother lying on her back all the night. I suppose she regards herself as a man! In fact, she seems to understand a little words such as milk, cheese, yoghurt. (she really likes them!) Also she doesn’t like any dogs, so she really goes outside. Instead, she likes people especially my neighborhoods. It is really fun for me to play with Ram!

3 Sleeping

On my way to school, I always listen to music and read novels. But since it takes me about two hours from home to school, without notice, I often fall asleep. I like to spend time on dozing. I like sleeping on the train is better than sleeping in my bed. Especially, dozing with listening to music is the best!

Dreans -Nightmare-

The most horrible nightmare that I have ever had was that in my dream, I became a cruel murderer!

It was four monthes ago, when I was disappointed with my result of examination. In that dream, I was in my classroom, and chasing my classmates who were really smart with a knife. And, in the end, I was killing them. In my dream, I was not upset, and took it for granted to kill them, so the number of people whom I killed very calmly. I killed six people in all, including my classmates. What was strange, many people witnesses my killing people, but no one sent for police. The next day (of course, in my dream!) when I watched the news on television, I heard that a man who killed many people surrender himself to the police since he couldn’t stand up with guilt. Then, as soon as I heard the news, I was so upset, and fele so sorry for what I had done, since I was in the same situation. And, I bothered about what to do.

Suddenly, I woke up! And the nightmare finished. Sice the dream seems so real, I couldn’t believe it was a mere dream.

It was the most long, and horrible night that I have ever had!
