Jojo Rabbit
(2019)

Bright future for the children
"Jojo Rabbit" stands out as one of the few films that portray war from a child's perspective. While many war movies are depicted through the lens of adulthood, enveloped in a serious tone(e.g. "Full Metal Jacket," "Black Hawk Down," "The Outpost," etc.)-this film captures the curiosity, ambition, bravery, and audacity of a child, intertwining moments of levity with its serious atmosphere. It's rare to find films where a young child, particularly a 10-year-old, takes main hero (If i had to say "Dunkirk," "The Wind Rises," or "Hitler's Forgotten Children"?).

In today's tumultuous global situation, adult voices often dominate the speech. However, I believe what's most crucial is considering the future of our children. After all, they are the ones who will shoulder the world's future. This film seemed to emphasize that thought.

Lastly, Yorki, Jojo's friend, is the ultimate best friend.

The Peripheral
(2022)

Past and Future
The Story of connecting past and future.

I feel like this drama has a similar atmosphere of "Westworld". Every episode is mysterious.

This drama is one of the best science fiction work I have ever seen. One of the reasons why the story is so good is that it takes place in two different locations, a small town in Appalachia and futuristic London. The frequent switching between of a small rural town and city of London keeps the drama engaging and never boring. It is difficult to fully understand the entire story, but it can still be enjoyed sufficiently!

This drama successfully blends together near-future technology, action scenes, and cast."The Peripheral" is highly recommended for those who like science fiction.

Good Girls Revolt
(2015)

Women's rights
This is a story about women fighting for their rights.

The characters, who work as investigators at a magazine company, take action to become reporters. This drama effectively portrays the struggles of women who are not treated equally with men.

While the pace of the story was a bit slow in this drama, I still enjoyed it very much overall. I particularly liked the smooth transitions between scenes at times.

It's a shame that season 2 has not been confirmed yet, as season 1 is just a prologue for women fighting for their rights. I strongly hope for its production!

Even now, women's rights issues are still a hot topic. Watching this drama made me realize the importance of being interested in women's rights issues.

Full Metal Jacket
(1987)

The war movie that can't be made today
I felt that this movie was divided into two parts, the first and second halves.

In the first half, the story focuses on the boot camp training of the new recruits. They undergo harsh training from Sergeant Hartman, and the struggles of one recruit, Leonard, as he faces various challenges are particularly noteworthy. (Who could have expected that scene on the eve of graduation from training?)

In the second half, the story shifts to the deployment of the newly trained soldiers to the battlefield. Unlike the first half, the characters who have been deployed into combat experience the horrors of war firsthand. The changes in the soldiers' hearts are well portrayed.

The final scene is one that remains vividly in my memory among the many movies. It can be said that this movie is one of the excellent war movies.

Mixte
(2021)

This is not just a typical school drama
This drama tells the story of students and teachers who fight desperately while being thrown around by the times.

In every aspect, this drama surpasses other school dramas. Each character's individuality is well expressed, and the atmosphere of 1960s France is also well created. (I particularly like Simone's character.) Additionally, as a Japanese viewer, I think French people's clothing is very stylish. The subtle differences in the clothing of each student and teacher are also interesting to watch. The music that plays throughout the drama is also excellent.

The music, fashion, and individuality of the characters are all matched together very well.
