movie: Hana and Alice

Another Japanese movie called Hana and Alice.
This movie is about girls named Hana and Alice, the best friends. Hana told a lie to the boy and became his girl friend. Alice also was a part of her lie, but later she fell in love with the boy and told him a truth. This is a main story, but this movie does not treat only that story. It contains Alice and Hana's friendship and their searching for self-identity.
What I most like about this movie was that photographs Hana and Alice's friend captured while they were in Ballet institution. That was impressive.

movie: Honey and Clover

Honey and Clover, the Japanese movie, is one of my favorite movies. When I was in high school, I read comic books of this one and it was so interesting because it was about Japanese art college students and picture five students private stories about art and how they relates each other. Comic books are much longer than the movie because they have ten series, while movie is only 115 minutes.
The main character is a girl called Hagu from a country that she even had not seen sea before. She was a genius painter and she only drew what she likes. However, she started to struggle because of love and school pressure. In the comic books, at the end, she even got injured her hands and she got serious surgery that she even lost touch feelings. However, in the end, she got over all things and made great art piece.
This movie was much boring than the comic books but I think it is an attraction of that movie. It is very calm and sometimes boring, but somehow move viewer's mind.
The best one about this movie is its settings. The school studio and home studio decorated very pretty and camera pictures the beautiful scenes very well.

It will be really comfortable in the future.
