Essay 1-03a Lilo and Stitch

I watched a movie, ”Lilo and Stitch”. When I watched the movie, I learned a few importance things. One is about. And another is about traditional cultures. I think these are very important things for us to live.

First, I write about family relationship. In this movie, Lilo lives with only her older sister because her parents died in a traffic accident. They live in a house only two but a public officer try to separate them. The reason is Lilo's sister has not power to bring up Lilo. Certainly, their life is hard, but they are good sisters. Lilo’s sister strives to live with Lilo so I think that Lilo's sister has family affection. Then, Lilo tells Stitch “Ohana is Important and never left behind.” Ohana means family. Lilo thinks that Stitch is her family and Stitch also thinks so. I think they have family relationship each other.

In my real life, I have a brother. I think if my parents died like Lilo’s parents, I can not strive to live with my brother like Lilo’s sister. Then, my parents and I are often quarreling but I like my parents. I live with my family, so I could not notice valuable of my family until now. When I watched this movie, I could notice it. Recently, I think increasing murder case of some people killed by their family member in Japan. It is very sad things. I think that if all people have family affection like Lilo and Stitch decrease like this murder case.

Next is traditional culture. We have many cultures in our life. In this movie, I learned Hawaii's traditional culture. Hawaii's cultures are dancing hula, Hawaiian music and so on. These cultures are interested for me. I think that Hawaiian is proud of Hawaiian cultures.

Hawaiian is proud of Hawaiian cultures but I can not saying that I am proud of Japanese culture. However, I have good cultures in Japan. For example, we are dancing Otemoyan in summer festival in Kumamoto. Then, Ennka have been to sing for a long time. We almost can not see these cultures any other country. So, we have to treasure of our culture.

This movie taught us a lot of important things. In this movie, even child can understand its. So this movie is watched a lot of people all over the world. Both family affection and traditional cultures are very important to live. So we have to treasure its.

Lilo and Stitch

I watched a movie, ”Lilo and Stitch”. It is Stitch and a Hawaiian girl, Lilo’s story. Stitch is an animal like an alien who made by doctor and ferocious. Lilo’s sister, Nani gives a dog to her, because Lilo is an unstable and doesn’t have friends. However, Lilo didn’t choose a dog, she choose Stitch.

I think that the movie show about valuable of family. I think that it is very important things for us to live. Liro lives with only her older sister because her parents died in a traffic accident. They live in a house only two but a public officer try to separate them. The reason is Liro's sister has not power to bring up Liro. Certainly, their life is hard, but they are good sisters. Lilo’s sister strives to live with Lilo so I think that Liro's sister has family affection.

Then, Lilo tells Stitch “Ohana is Important and never left behind.” Ohana means family. Lilo thinks that Stitch is her family and Stitch also thinks so. Stitch is only ferocious until then, but he can speaks language of human and declare that “Ohana is never left behind.” So I think that the movie show about valuable of family.

Recently, I think increasing murder case of some people killed by their family member in Japan. It is very sad things. I think that if all people have family affection like Lilo and Stitch decrease like this murder case.

I have four members in my family. We often quarrel but I like my family. I live with my family, so I could not notice valuable of my family until now. When I watched this movie, I could notice it. I think that I cherish my family. I wish everyone watch this movie and notice valuable of my family like me.
