It's a good entry!

Why am I so angry?

I ALWAYS complain about everything, from sunrise to sunset. Why am I so angry about everything?
I get angry when playing games; I get angry for not working so smoothly; I get angry because everyday is not my day!

I want someone to listen to me, but no one does; I want someone to engage the same hobbit with me, but no one does; I want some of my wishes to realize, but no one does; I want someone to respect me and praise me, but no one will!!

Finally I find that there are too many "want"s in my mind! I should understand that I am not a son of the God. I was abandoned by it long time ago.

So the only thing I can do is to be silent and live in my own world. No wants, no pain.

Coraline

At the beginning I considered Coraline as Tim Burton's movie, but after finding information on the Internet I knew I was wrong. This movie is directed by Henry Selick, who is the director of "The Nightmare before Christmas." Thought this movie wasn't created by Tim Burton, the style is very like Tim Burton's arts. I like this movie!

The story begins with a three-member family, Mom, Dad, and a girl. They move to an old house and the little girl find a door with a wall behind it. At night the girl open the secret door again and find that there is another similar world behind the door and better parents and friends. The only different thing is that their eyes are buttons....

The reason I consider this movie as Tim Burton's art is that the color of this movie is very grey, and the music of this movie is very dark and creepy. The story is very attractive and you even don't know how the story would end. I recommend this movie very much!

A random murder in Taiwan

A cruel murder happened on 3/9. A man pretended that he wanted to rent a house but he killed the landlord and his family intentionally. The murderer said he had no relationship with the victim. He just wanted to kill some guys to release his depression of losing his work and money. You can read this news from "不是電影！黃富康追殺簡家母子　監視器全都錄".

When the murderer was arrested by the police, he told that his idea was from a Japanese comic called Last Order(銃夢). Now a lot of reporters in Taiwan focus on this comic and advocate that this kind of comics are full of violence.仿漫畫殺人轉運？　醫師：邊緣人性格"

This description about Last Order is not complete! I read this comic when I was a freshman in the college. This comic discusses about the future life, without government, full of lies and crime. Although this comic has some violent stories, it has a lot more interesting and worth-thinking ideas. My professor in Chiao Tung University also read this comic. Even some professors in other colleges also read it. If this comic is banned because of this murder, that will be a pity!

The publisher put out a declaration: 東立出版針對日本漫畫《銃夢》引發社會誤解發出聲明稿"

Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea

Miyazaki Hayao had a new anime movie on 1/23. It's a pure love story of a mermaid Ponyo and a little boy Sousuke. One day Ponyo got trapped by a bottle and Sousuke saved her. Ponyo was well protected by Sousuke so that she liked Sousuke and wanted to be with him. The first step was to become a human. Ponyo's father tried to stop her from being a human but finally he didn't make it. For being with Sousuke, Ponyo made a tsunami(?) which damaged Sousuke's town unintentionally. At last Ponyo's parents recovered the town and helped Ponyo become a real little girl. Ponyo and Sousuke can be together forever!

There are a lot of negative comments on the Internet. They say this movie has a lack of contents. It's only for five-year-old children. In my point of view, I consider this movie as a relaxing anime. All you need to do is to feel the cuteness of Ponyo and to learn about the pure love between Ponyo and Sousuke. We don't need to think about the future of them. They are just five years old! Maybe someday Ponyo doesn't like Sousuke or Sousuke doesn't like Ponyo but it doesn't matter. It's hard now for a man or a woman to say "I will protect you and love you forever and ever." Even if one said that words, the other wouldn't believe it. The promise of the children is more natural, sincere, and without any bad intention. I feel comfortable to watch the movie. It makes me feel like a child to re-think about what's love.

By the way, I still love Hisaishi Joe's music!
