The Movie Well Worth Seeing - Christian Maeda


My favorite movie is “Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai”(in English “I want to eat your Pancreas”). This is animation movie based on Japanese light novel written by Yoru Sumino.

                 The story starts at the scene that boy meets girl in the hospital. She had a pancreatic cancer and any of her friends don’t know about her cancer except him. Therefore, she made “to do list” that written the things she wants to do before she dead, and she enjoyed a lot of things with him. Unfortunately, this is not Disney movie, and it’s not kind a fantasy story, so in the end of the story she is no longer alive. This is poignant movie, and moving a lot for me. The scene that the boy knew that she passed away was touching me and unforgettable. They were not couple, but they both were important person for each other.

I want to mention about the name of characters. Until the end of the movie, no one call the boy on his name. Even the girl didn’t call his name, instead she called him “you”. This is the biggest point I was impressed with this story. I don’t want to spoil the ending of the story, so I don’t write a lot about the story. However, you might surprise about her death, even you know she will die.

Just watch this movie. You’ll know why this is my favorite. However, before you watch it, make sure you have handkerchief. You must cry.

    Sounds like a 'tearjerker.' There are actually quite a few movies out there about love between someone with a fatal illness or condition and someone who is well. Perhaps a relationship which is only ended by death is something that we admire, as the classic English wedding vows promise "I promise to have and to hold you till death do us part" i.e. I promise that I will love you until that is no longer possible in this earthly realm.

Fishing makes me happy -LEIL

To be honest, I have almost never fishing in China.  After coming to Dunedin, I started to like fishing. Dunedin is near the sea and there are many suitable fishing spots nearby. I like to go fishing in Port Chalmers on weekends with my friends. I think fishing helps me to release stress, exercise my willpower, and we will have fish to eat.

Market Day Debrief - Nagisa Kanakubo

   Today's market was fun because there were a lot of shops. I saw accessory shops and clothes shops and tried a game, too.  It was the most interesting that many of the accessories were made by people. Both of the students and the sellers seemed to enjoy the market.  I felt this market was one of the interesting cultures for the students and the local people in New Zealand.

Surveillance Technology-Nagisa Kanakubo

Image
  I think surveillance technology is necessary for our safety. However, it can be dangerous thing.  That technology is very useful to prevent crime and keep cities safe. In fact, there are so many CCTV cameras all over my country. And I have never been involved in crime. That tells us thanks to them, we can live more peacefully. However, some of them make me uncomfortable. For example, when I realize that someone is watching my movement, shopping habits and myself, I feel scared even if I don’t have nothing to hide. In other words, I worry that someone can identify me if my personal information is leaked.  In short, surveillance technology is important, but I feel that our privacy may be invaded.
