Gokusen 3 SP and Gokusen the Movie!



Randomly, I watched the movie without any subtitles. Although I didn't understand the dialogue, I got the gist of the story anyway. It was really humourous even without needing to understand it. If I knew what they were speaking, I would have learn another set of moral values. LOL.

Gokusen 3 SP.
Another movie version and it's funny and engaging as well. Hard to explain unless you're a Gokusen fan as well. Oh well...the actress is the best actor and the drama wouldn't be perfect without her hilarious colleagues, esp Head teacher Sawatari and her yakuza followers, esp Tetsu and Minoru. :D

Hayao Miyazaki

I've watched four of his movies so far!

1. Spirited Away
2. Princess Mononoke
3. Kiki's Delivery Service
4. Howl's Moving Castle

My favourite is still Spirited Away. Princess Mononoke was great, Kiki was too childishly annoying for me while Howl's was quite abstract to me. Some scenes were weird to me too and upon further research, discover that it was based on Diane WJ;s book adaptation. No wonder! The animations are different too! I prefer Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle.
