About British General trying to win the war....
So in order to do that, they had to make a plan also to choose the right guy for the procedure.
This movie starts from 1) searching the right guy 2) make a good planning 3) inform all the other generals 4) and stopped before they actually attack the country!!!!!!
Really nothing much......
It's all about the talking and the talking and the talking....
How to attack and win,
When to attack,
This movie is the middle part before the war......
I felt a sleep at the last part.....
Not that exciting movie at all.........

BLOOD DIAMONDS (outside watching)
Interesting and exciting movie in deed!!!
Actions were wonderful, actors also nice, actress not bad.
Little bit of a political part and little bit of a undeveloped country point of view.
Exports and Imports actually changing people lives but they just don't see it.
People with money want more and more...
So countries that develops the materials try to sell to get a better life.
Well, they are suffering!!
Undeveloped countries are been using kids to get more money.
Or even brain washed to kill someone who are against the economy....
This movie tells you how people are suffering in Africa because of a Diamonds....

HAMBURGER HILL
It's nothing but shooting!!!
War War War... killing killing killing... and being sad most of the time...
Young troops went to the Ashau Hill for the 1st time.
In my own way of understanding the meaning of Hamburger Hill.......
Hamburger is meat.. And many people died there during the time they spent there, trying to get to the hill. So! Hamburger Hill should mean dead body hill......
I don't know the actual meaning but that's what i taught...
Anyway, on 10 May 1969, young troops went to the hill and start targeting the top of the hill..
They spent 10 days there until they secure the place..
While they are trying for the top, many people got killed with guns and bombs.
The people who fought at the Hill only called that place Hamburger Hill.......
And only the people who fought there still remember this place......
Sad and not much story telling....
One thing I don't like is that why American troops are having fun during war time??
I mean, they got girls, coke, cigarettes, nude magazine.....etc.
I felt they are little childish....
Well, that's just my toughts...
Movie was ok.
Won't make you sleepy, too.... ^^

O'BROTHER
Story of a "chain gang", the criminals!! Running for their goals...
They don't look bad at all and I don't know why they are in jail.
But what I do know is that they are running away to find treasure!!!!
Ulysses drag Delmar and Pete around to find the Treasure.....
They went to Pete's cousin's house and rest there, thought it will be safe..
But at night time!.. Pete's cousin betrayed them!!!!!!
Their heads had a price on it and Pete's cousin send them to the police......
Eventually with the help of the cousin's kid, they got away..
Ulysses told them a lie that the treasure is hidden in the place that it will be a dam in the future.
Which is a total lie!!
Ulysses just wanted to crush his wife (ex-wife)'s wedding with another guy!
When Pete knew the real story, he went mad with Ulysses soooo much....
During the time they didn't know about the true story, they went hitchhiking, stealing cars, making money, met a beautiful girls (Sirens, who sing and attrack guys), picked up one black guy who had made a deal with the devil, and found his baby girls....
From the cultural aspect, Americans are very religion person....
Because they always go to church on Sunday morning, having Thanks Giving, X'mas, and so on.
And this movie you can see Delmar and Pete went to the river and washed their sin....(Baptism)
These 3 met many interesting people.
Such as the guy George (Baby Face Nelson), who were running away from the police because he robbed the bank..
3 Beautiful ladies (Sirens) that made them slept, waking up with no Pete....
Delmar taught that Pete turned into a frog because the only living thing came out from his clothes were the frog!!!
Another cultural aspect from this movie is that the Americans do not like "Silence"!!
They use the expression like that as [Air in Conversation], they are more like a [Gift of Gab], which means anyone can talk anything, anywhere.
Another new person the 3 met is the one-eyed big man...called himself a salesman...
Actually he is a Con Man!!!!
Con Man as a Confidence Man..... <-- Steal money in his own way of special talking skills.
Con man talked nicely, let them bilieve him and follow him to have a picnic outside.
After when they are relaxing, con man starting attacking and took all the money from them.
Also the car, too. (T-T)/
How sad......
While Pete was a frog, actually he was back at the chain gang.......
The 3 met again in the movie thieter and Pete was trying hard to send the message that do not seek the treasure because there will be an ambush......
Pete was very very very sorry to Ulysses and Delmar because he told everything about the treasure....
Well! There are no treasure so they should be pretty fine.....
Funny movie......
Not bad...

TORA TORA TORA
Tora means Tiger...
I don't know why they made the code Tora but this movie is the old version of the Pearl Harbor..
In Japan's point of view...
It is more like a documentary kind of movie.
Pearl Harbor had love story in it but this one don't!
You won't see Ben and Josh....... <-- I like these 2......^^
The American Pacific Fleet was attacked and destroyed by Japan on December 7, 1941..
This attack led the United State to enter the WWII!!!!!
Japan were trying to attack Pearl Harbor secretly ..
But U.S. army knew it from a special code reader....
Even though they knew Japan's plan they didn't act because they didn't had the confirmation!!
I got disappointed with this...
The Americans didn't think it is a big thing when there are something different happen to them.
They just say it is ok .....
And to say not to worry about it.
Before the attack... Japan had many different opinions regard this bombing the Pearl Harbor..
One side were against the war, another side wanted to happen.
Japan was really ready to attack Pearl Harbor while U.S. solders were still having fun with their lives.
The Americans once prepare for the attack on November 30, which was a false alarm..
When they knew that they were attacking them, it was too late.
Some people were eating breakfast, some even just woke up!!!
They had no chance to fight back....
Japan destroyed all the plans, big shops, and so on.
When Japan went back to their base for more fighters.
The commander stopped the order because they notice that they made a mistake....
The 1 thing that wanted to attach wasn't in the Pearl Harbor.......
So they went back to Japan...
Worrying what is going to happen in the future and what had they done.....
This film was little bit old....
The making of it looks fa
I think I found someone acting like the New Pearl Harbor..Ben and Josh....
This story was ok but maybe little boring.

CROSSROADS
It's a wonderful movie.. and I like it!!!
This movie is about Music!
Bluesmen!!
The movie start with a black guy walking across the crossroads from no where.
You can see the same action in the movie "O'Brother", too.
This man heard from Robert Johnson that he can be a good harmonica player.
So he went to the crossroads to do business with the DEVIL!!!!
I don't think he knew he was doing business with the devil...
Well, from that day, he is a great harmonica player and he played with Robert since then.
Willie, the guy who sold his soul to the devil get old and we spent his time in the hospital.
Jail hospital because he shot a guy in the old time.
Here, this movie involves with One Old Guy (Willie Brown), One Young Kid (Classical guitar player, who wants to be a bluesmen), and One Young Girl (Who are running away to L.A. for better life)
These 3 will be together being Hobos (which means Hitchhike) and travel to Yazzo City, Mississippi.
This young kid, who are very good at playing guitar, wants to be a famous blues player.
He read many books about blues, about Robert Johnson, about Willie Brown, and so on.
He knew almost all the story about their lives.
But 1 thing he do not know is about the real Bluesmen style of living.
The young lighting kid went to find Willie Brown because he read that he is the last one living Bluesmen who played with Robert Johnson.
He went to Willie because he wanted to get the 30th song of Robert Johnson.!!
Eventually, there were no 30th song!!
But Willie didn't told the young kid and used him from getting out the hospital!!!!
Sounds very bad guy....
But he had his own reason.
Willie had to go to the Yazoo City of Mississippi to meet the devil and end the contract..
He was too old to make a journey by himself, so he needed the young kid to bring him there.
These 2 start travel with a little amount of cash, which is normal to Willie but not to the kid.
What they do is they went for HOBO!! (which means hitchhike) Riding for free!!!
They met a young cute girl and moving together since.
Here, love story is mixed!
Young boy and girl somehow fail in love.
How nice........
So from 2 became 3!
They had to make some money by playing music.
When they got to the crossroads, Willie let the young kids to play so that the Devil will come.
Willie talked with him to end the contract and they agreed if the young kid can win the Rock n Roll player the devil will tear the contract.
The kid was loosing but at the end he played classic, which the guy couldn't catch him and he won!!!!!
So the old Willie got his soul back!!!
What a movie!
I liked the part when the young kid played the classic at the match!!
really nice......

BLUEGRASS
From what I have been searching, I found that this "Bluegrass" was originally from England.
But it went to Appalachian(mountain area in America) and it changes to its own style of music.
And that is "Bluegrass"!!!!
"Bluegrass" is a traditional music which didn't change within the Appalachian people.
The music that continue being the same!!
It might be effected from Black people's Blues or Jazz but still, "Bluegrass" maintain their own style of music with Professional Musician and Developed Character.
So far I got only the above information.
Will up-dated soon!!
Second up-date....on 14/02/07
I found again that Bluegrass music is considered a form of American roots music, which has its own roots in Irish, African, and Scottish traditional music.
I have no idea which one is true........
maybe another time....

- Bluegrass artists use a many kinds of stringed instruments to create a unique sound.
- Bluegrass is a style developed during the mid War War II....And it wasn't played before WWII!
maybe another time....

WHITE X'MAS
This movie is on 1944 X'mas eve.
The movie sets looks like fake and it dosen't feel like a movie but more like a musical play.
Story is set on war and troops...They are having a X'mas party and all men sits and enjoy the music. A X'mas show with tap dancing and singing.
Many of them looks sad because it's not a very nice X'mas.
Many things happened. General changed and there will be a new person in charge....
Nearly the end of the party, when the bombs attached and peopla trying to escape.
Some got injured.
Wallace, who can sing pretty well, got rescue from Davis, who become Wallace partner in the future.
Those two became a musical player. Broadway show!
They sing and tap and sing and tap!!
Davis, who was Wallace partner, wanted to find him a girl because Wallace always work and work and work and he doesn't have time for finding himself a girl.
They went to a show dressing like the present world, suits, and met the Heins Sisters.
There Wallace found himself interested in the short hair girl and Davis with the long hair girl.
Davis and Judie had fun singin and dancing together, while Wallace and Bennie was talking.
Sisters was going to continue their show but problem happened and the Boys halped them escape from the show.
That's where the action begins.
The singing is nice. The dancing is also nice.
But sometime, I couldn't understand the words they said.......
Little bit hard to catch them.
Overall, not bad movie.
