Ocean Heaven Movie

Father knowing that he is dying does whatever he can to prepare his autistic son's life. Even dressed up as a turtle and imitate/play with his son while alive knowing that his son who loves to swim in an aquarium can swim with the turtle (resembling father).

Movie is dedicated to "ordinary heroes" which are parents who sacrifice themselves day in and out for the well-being of their offspring.

Yin/Yang after Jet Li the father dies, Dafu the autistic boy successfully can take care of himself and does everything that his father had prepared for him. His father would be so happy in "heaven."

Ocean heaven - where Dafu can swim with his dad.

Depressing how his mom killed herself because she couldn't stand the fact that her son is autistic. People who give up on life let many others down and bring burden to others. People who suicide are very selfish because of this as well as wasting their precious life not being able to contribute or share their gifts to the world/society.

What a movie about strong will to live and about accepting life and taking responsibility as a parent.

Sayonara, Itsuka (Goodbey, Someday) Movie

Sayonara Itsuka Poem

To live is to prepare for goodbye;
For loneliness is a friend who will not betray
Shiver not into pouring love instead buy an umbrella;

Believe not in happiness, even in the passions of love
Confess not your love even if you would die for it;

For love is like a season;
It comes and goes to decorate life’s boredom;

The moment you call it Love,
it melts away, like an ice sculpture…

Goodbye someday
Happiness lasts not forever, as despair lasts not forever.

Somedays there is goodbye;
Somedays, theres is Hello

At death,
some look back on being loved;
While some look back on having loved…
I shall look back on having loved…

Guy is noble. Very nonreactive. Stern face. Only smiles and rewards woman sometimes. Woman is the one pursuing him. His pride does get in the way of love because he couldn't muster the words to say I love you. Well that's Japanese culture for you.

I like the general idea of this poem which coincides with Zen/Tao/Yin and Yang. Talks about fleeting moments of life. How things are impermanent. But in the end where it talks about "looking back" I think this brings up a feeling of remorse and regret. Almost as to say that this person is attached to the past. I say almost because choosing to say that he/she "shall look back on having loved..." He/she is aware that the past is long gone.

Norwegian Wood Movie

Guy is submissive. Gets lucky often. He is very cool and way too laid back. Says ofcourse/yes often to life. He builds comfort really well. He is in his early 20s so he doesn't have a stable core yet.

Girls in the movie are controlling and crazy.

3 People suicide because of love issues. They are "degenerates" who pity themselves while main character lives through his sorrows and moves on. Living life.

The Accidental Spy

Guy (Jackie Chan) believes/trust/follows his intuition. Often right. Does things flowingly. No analyzing. Spontaneous. Almost perfect.
