 < The Shawshank Redemption> I was very excited to see the trailer. The synopsis of the film makes it sound like the main character, Andy, is falsely accused, so I was curious as to how he was able to prove his innocence. Also, the picture is so beautiful that I can't believe it is an old movie. I can't really grasp the content of the movie from the trailer, so I'll have to watch it next time.

<"Seven Samurai" and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"> As for the differences between Japanese jidaigeki and Westerns jidaigeki , I watched the trailers for "Seven Samurai" and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and found that the biggest difference is that Japanese are in black and white and Westerns are in color. Also, maybe it is because of the scene, but I felt that there were more people around in Japanese and less people in the Westerns. I thought it was very interesting to see so many differences in the trailer alone!

<Concert Films Movies> One of the sub-genres movies discussed in the class that I was interested in was Concert Films Movies. I was interested in it because I have many opportunities to go to concerts and I like them even more. I especially enjoyed Michael Jackson's This Is It among the ones I saw this time. Michael is very cool, and it was an exciting movie to watch because it gave me a good idea of what goes on behind the scenes of a concert.
