Movie
In your blog please write your comments and thoughts of the movie.
Today's movie was really fun. Thank you, Meiki sensei.
Do you think this is a true story?
Maybe this movie is made overly, but I think this is a true story.
Sometimes religious difference is a big problem.
Can this really happen in today's modern times?
Yes, I think so.
Our minds are becoming open to other religions and ideas, but still have problems of them.
I think marriage should be more free, and make the couple the first priority.
However, in my case, I'm an irreligious, so I can't imagine that join religious family.
Happy Christmas☆
