Festival

*Japanese Festivals


I introduce about “Takayama festival”. This festival is held at Takayama in Gifu. This festival is in October 9 to 10 every year. It’s held in spring too. There are three beautiful festivals in Japan and this festival is included. Because it shows mechanism dolls that have skillful movement and floats that have trick. It has been going about 300 years, so it has a long history. I haven’t ever seen this festival. But when I went to Takayama with my friends, I saw a float in shed. It is very big and tall. I want to see again. Takayama have old row of houses along the street and hot spring. You can enjoy at there.



*Foreign Festivals

Next festival is “Halloween”. Halloween is held on October 31. The festival is People celebrate autumnal harvest and turn out demon. Children dress up witch, ghost or spider. They say “Trick or Treat” and can get some sweets. Town is decollated Jack-o'-lantern, spider and skeleton. This festival is held at many countries. People enjoy playing game. First, some apples are floated and people have to catch how use only mouse the apples. I had tried the game. It was so fun!! Halloween is humorous festival!!

There are many kind of movies. Example, mystery, horror, SF, fantasy, animation, comedy and love story and so on. Especially, I like fantasy, comedy and love story. My favorite movie is “Home Alone!! It has many series and most of people have seen. Hero is Kevin. Kevin’s family is large family. One day, Kevin’s family goes to Florida on Christmas holiday. But Kevin gets on wrong airplane. He arrives at New York. Then he stays at high-grade hotel with his father’s credit card. He goes to toy store and runs across two thieves who fought with Kevin last year. They fight again. The fight scene is very funny. This movie set in America in 1992's.


My best scene is this!! This scene greatly excited me :)


Next movie that I recommend is “Chocolat”!! My mother likes it too. This story is certain mother and the daughter that sell mysterious chocolate make people live in a gloomy village happy. Main actor and actress are Juliette Binoche and Jonny Depp. My favorite scene is Juliette make many kind of chocolates and gloomy people live in the village eat the chocolate. Then the people become to feel happy in a moment. If you watch this movie, I recommend you to prepare chocolate. You will surely want to eat chocolate!!
