Two boys who are brothers, an American married couple, a Japanese girl who is deaf and her father, and a Mexican baby-sitter who takes care of two children, all of them create one story. It begins with a gunshot fired by the brothers in Morocco. It hits the American woman who is in the middle of sightseeing. While the brothers are afraid of being arrested, the husband who had his wife shot by them tries to help her. In Tokyo, the deaf girl wants someone who loves her, being hurt by prejudice against challenged people. And in Mexico, the two children are taken to a wedding party of the babysitter's son and they experienced the culture that they have never seen. In the each place, they face serious problems and find someone who really cherishes them.

I am interested in films made by Japanese and other countries. That is why I watched this film. This story is greater than I expected. It is a little hard to understand what it represents because it is very profound. I think the film theme is "Keep living", because all of the characters never give up even if difficult things happen. I watched this film to find it more important to live strongly than anything else.

King George VI suffers from stammer so he does not like to make speech. His wife worries about that and calls for doctors specialized in it. But all of the doctors cannot get rid of his stammer. King George VI loses his temper and comes to dislike doctors. One day his wife make an appointment with an Australian speech therapist, Lionel Logue. King George VI sees him and is angry with his rude behavior. He tries to go back home but Lionel says to him that he stakes 1 shilling on possibility that King George VI can speak fluently. He accepts it and reads out the story written by Shakespeare loudly listening to music. He cannot hear his own voice, though, he thinks he was not able to speak and goes home with angry. Later he listens to the record and he is surprised at his own eloquent voice. After that he trusts Lionel and starts the therapy. That is the way they make close friends.

I like the characters of this film, especially Lionel. He is apparently rude but this is his way he communicates with patients. He relieves others' mind by talking frankly. I like such an attitude very much. If there are doctors who are like him, I also see them.

This film is based on the real story of the relationship between King George VI and Lionel. I think it is brilliant and moving. After I watched this film, I really decided to cherish my close friends. The life that has the best friend must be wonderful. This film makes me think of that.

Frankie, an elementary school student, is a boy who has deaf ears. Despite his handicaps he is able to understand words others' say by reading their lips. But he is not willing to speak so he talks with written paper or sign language. He respects his father. He writes letters to him every day, who is a member of crews and voyages around the world for a long time. He likes collecting stamps which his father gives. One day, Frankie's classmate tells Frankie to take Frankie's father to him. If Frankie so, the classmate will give him his cards. Frankie is angry with the attitude and accepts it. This makes things complicated. Actually, his mother has a secret about their family.

This story is heartwarming so I love it soon. The scenes of Frankie and his father are very moving. I like the scene in which Frankie runs a race with his father the best of all. It represents father's affection for his son, I think. As time is going by, their relationship is becoming friendlier.

For the first time in years I found my favorite film. I like this film so much that I would like to watch this film again. And I can recommend confidently that you watch this film.
