Movie

I’d like to introduce about “ENCHANTED”. I watched this movie with subtitles last year. I like this movie, so I’d talk about it. It’s a Disney movie. This movie is an American love-comedy and mixed drama and cartoon. It was released in 2007. The director is Kevin Lima. He concerned with “The Little Mermaid” “Beauty and the Beast” “Aladdin” and so on. The movie has a lot of Disney’s favorite scenes which everyone knows. I think it’s very interesting and one of good point of this movie.

Firstly, I’d introduce about the story of "ENCHANTED". The main character is Giselle. She lives in Andalasia, but she is banished from the romantic animated land to modern day Manhattan by the queen Narissa. Because her son prince Edward and Giselle tries to marry, so she wants to stop it. First, Giselle meets Robert and Morgan, when she is looking for a castle. Robert is a lower and Morgan is his daughter. He takes care of Giselle. She always begins to sing a song anytime she wants to sing. There is a gap between the real world and magical world. Also, Prince Edward comes to Manhattan to look for Giselle. Robert has a girlfriend Nancy, but he and Giselle are attracted to each other. Finally, the queen Narissa tries to have Giselle eat a poison apple, and Giselle eat it, but she is revived by Robert. Giselle and Robert fight with the queen Narissa, and they get a happy life in the real world. Incidentally, the price Edward and Nancy also get a happy life in the animated land. Therefore the story has a happy ending.

Amy Adams played the heroin Giselle. Patrick Dempsey played Robert. James Marsden played Prince Edward. Susan Sarandon played queen Narissa. Each of them appears favorite movies. Amy sings some songs in this movie, and they are musical number. Therefore, I think all songs are wonderful, and they make me happy. Some songs are nominated for some prize, for example, “That’s How You Know” and “Happy Working Song” and so on. They are just Disney’s songs, but “So Close” is only modern tune. I like all songs. In addition, CDs which have these songs are released, so you can check. Also, the DVD was released in this summer, so you can watch it by DVD. I think this movie is so romantic, and I can enjoy the musical number, so I recommend you to watch this movie and listen to music. If you are interested in this movie, please check!!

My Summer Vacation

I went to Disney Resort twice this summer vacation. Firstly I went there with my friends. Secondly I went there with my mother. I was very happy because I could go there after a long break and go there twice.
I went to Disneyland with my friends. I was so sleepy because the day before was tests, but I was so exciting. During we were taking the bullet train, we tried to see the Mt.Fuji, but we couldn’t see that. We went on looking for the Mt. Fuji until we arrived at Yokohama station.

When we arrived at Tokyo, we hurried to Disneyland. At length we got to Disneyland. When I saw it, I was so happy. There were a lot of people especially children. At first we went to watch “Micro Adventure”. This is like a movie, but it’s a 3D movie, so I was excited. After that we saw the show. During summer, the show uses much water, and it was hot day. Therefore we went there to get wet. I enjoyed the show very much, and most people were warming up. Before we went to see the show, we bought lunch. It was a pizza, so I had to try to save it from water. I think it was also interesting.

In the afternoon, we could ride lots of attractions and go to Mickey’s house and took a picture with him. I was so happy. Also, I watched parades and fireworks. When I watched fireworks, I was so impressed, because it was so wonderful, and the Cinderella castle was illuminated at once, after that we enjoyed until the park closed. I bought so many souvenirs there and took pictures. I was very happy and had a very good time. I was so sad when I left there.

We stayed at a hotel. The room which we stayed was look like a ship, so I also enjoyed there. There were oars, life jackets and so on in the room. Besides I could see the Disneyland from my room a little, so I was happy very much. I was looking it for a long time. We talked a lot, so I also had a good time.

Next morning, we go to eat breakfast in the hotel. I was also looking forward to eat breakfast in the hotel, because it was a buffet. Therefore I ate a lot of foods, for example an omelet, breads, fruits and so on. There were many kinds of food, so I became full. After we finished breakfast, we returned our room, but we slept again there. Therefore we hurried to leave the hotel when I got up. We went to sightseeing in Tokyo. I had a very good time in this travel. I want to go to travel again.
