The extreme environment created by "leader to hunt down" may have the potential to bring out talent, but is such an environment really necessary? From the movie "Whiplash," which depicts a fierce "instruction" at a top music school, imagine the "victims" behind what enriches our lives.

The movie "Room" was inspired by a shocking real event. It's fiction, but it has the power to make the audience feel like they might be in the same situation. It helps suffering people who are trapped by the feeling of "normalcy" and "obvious" to realize "what they should realize."

I haven't really watched many Godzilla movies or SFX films, but I saw "Shin Godzilla" just because it was directed by Anno Hideaki, and it was incredibly interesting. It portrayed everything besides the existence of Godzilla with overwhelming realism. The sense of reality of "What if Godzilla really appeared?" is tremendous.

The "tragedy of war" has been depicted and passed down in various forms, but opportunities to understand the "emptiness of war" are rare.

The hero who made an emergency landing of an uncontrollable plane on the Hudson River, saving all 155 crew and passengers, was later suspected of intentionally sinking the plane and causing damage.

If you had to make a decision to take the life of one girl in order to save 80 other lives, would you be able to make that decision?

As a graduation project from a vocational school, Hamaguchi Ryusuke's film "Intimacies" is an ambitious work that incorporates a two-hour and ten-minute play within a play. The film emphasizes the power of words, despite being a visual medium, and I was overwhelmed by the words spoken throughout the film and the play within a play. Although it is very long at four hours, glad I saw it.

I was not planning to watch the movie "Inu-Oh" directed by Yuasa Masaaki, and had zero expectations and almost no prior information. However, it was so amazing that I was stunned to think that I might have missed such a fantastic masterpiece. The insane worldview woven by Furukawa Hideo, who wrote the original work, combined with the realistic "live feeling", makes it a wonderful "music movie".

Actually, only India has succeeded in sending a spacecraft to Mars in a single attempt. Both the United States and Russia have failed many times.

The acclaimed film "Let the Right One In" depicts the struggles of those who choose to live with the despair that "what it takes to survive" is "to destroy others." The relationship between the two characters, which can be described as "pure love," and the unexpected development of the story are truly moving.

I believe that anyone who breaks the law should be punished, regardless of the reason. However, this is not related to the judgment of good and evil. From the movie "Shoplifters" directed by Koreeda Hirokazu, let us think about the legitimacy of a society where "good and evil" are determined by the "national mood" and a way of living that has "the courage to put on hold good and evil judgments".
