...Closing My Blog...

Finally it comes to the end of this class , I am very happy with this class though at the first time i feel confused because i am not familiar with this style of teaching, i grown up and were taught by telling what to note what to read but this class is totally different. As time passed by i started to like your teaching style, it taught me not to follow only the book we can learn from everthing around oueselves even movies which the main purpose is to entertain, we can get more knowledge from them. i sorry to say that some of your movie is annoyed me a lot especially Black & White movie ^^ but many of them are very good.
So sad to know that this is the last semester for you it also the last for me too, as i red ur blog i think you must love Abac a lot, me too. i come to this university directly i dont care about the entrance exam because i love here and when it comes to the time that we should part, it sad. i have nothing to say but i happy to be here and to be in your class. Thank you ajarn to show me the new way of learning style at least before i graduate frome here i had already studied with you.

PS. i already returned all the movies to you, Thanks again

Cold War : Right Stuff


The disc can be opened only 1:40:05 mins

Oh my God, the war movie i feel nervous when i have to watch this kind of movie. But after i watch it for a while i notice that there is no war scene and i really think that the first half period of this movie is like drama movie since they talking about their plan and their life. Many of American movie is also about the pailot and it seems like the thing that most of American men really want to be. many courtry try to cempete together, they try to show how they are smart by showing their creative and innovative. i really got shock while i watch the physical checking scene, it is so painful and i also wonder that how they can stand with those thing. Oops i think i had studied about the first rocket launched and it is explode and i guess after this it would be about the first monkey that can be sent to the space and can survive in the rocket.

Civil Right : Long Walk Home

i think the main of this movie is the right which same as the period of this movie, but it's the right of the black people in the society. i perceived that in this movie, white people are regarded as high class people and blacks are low class. it's very obviously especially the scene that the police shout at Whoopy when she was in the park preparing the food for the children. moreover; black people can't even get on or sit on the bus i think this is very rude since they are people like us they should also have the same right as we have, we are in the same world sharing many things together.

some good things in this movie is the family love each other which is very good and i also perceive that no matter when it was American people love the party. i also like way they did before dinner, praying to the god. but i think in this movie Mrs. Norman, the white girl, is very good she is fair and accept black people as human in this world.

i feel very upset when i saw this movie because i just think that black people should not deserve this kind of behavior. Black and white people cant even talk to each other and other white people act like they have more power. i really hate they man who destroy the car if i were in this movie and i have a gun i will shoot him immediately. the end of this movie is very impressive i love that many of black people holding their power together and fight for their right to exist in this horrible society.

Song: I Will Follow Him




Artist: Sister Act Song: I Will Follow Him
I love this song, it's sound great and i love this movie too it comes from the gospel period. i think gospel is about the song of the God. i feel enjoy while listen to it the lyrics of this song is very good "I will follow Him,Ever since He touched my heart I knew,There isn't an ocean too deep,A mountain so high it can keep, Keep me away, away from His love." this sentence is inspired me a lot because it touch my heart very much and i would like to recommend others to listen to it. iam sure that it will good for others too.

WW II : IKE


Better than the other WWII movie i got, this is colored. i think this movie is more about war, there is a dicussion about war planning. Many country are participate(i guess American fight with German) in this war, American love each other they also respect each other too and they put all the power to work because they set high goal.

While watching this movie i feel like i'm in American history class. Soldier system is more complicate they are divided in class. This period women seem to have less duty since through the movie i see less women in this movie when compared to others. when many country work together i think they do not trust each other they still protect their side. the one who are high priority also have high responsibility too.

How come this movie i thought i would scene some fighting in this WWII movie but i witness nothing. All movie is about planing for the war. it's also like report of the war or movie to tell the real story. All i can say is i'm confused with this movie.

WW II : To the shores of Tripoli

Again, i feel it is a hard time for me to watch this black & white movie which makes me feel sleepy. The movie started with the fighting scene, i knew already since it's the movie about WW II. But anyways i will try to catch as much American culture as i can.

Like any others movie that i had saw even in the world war period the party is the thing that still survive and American man still be polite. there 's one scene that i saw and really wonder which is the scene that the woman spread some kind of cream to the man. it would be better if this movie is colored because i really want to know that what is it. Nurse is for the girl only in that period also men are soldier absolutely. They all are good soldier they practice and have high responsibility and i think finally Mary must fall in love with the guy Chris^^.

This time i think America was very civilize since the war did not happen on the land only, it happened in the sea also. This was what i think since i hear at the beginning of the movie. cause i heard "Marine Corps". The truth is i feel empty when talking about WW II or any kind of history because i'm very bad about it. All i know is American is a powerful country with more people and weapons and i think for ordinary people in that period soldiers are sdorable.

James J. Braddock


So amazing that i got this topic i remembered that i just finished watching the movie Cinderella Man with my father at home but i don't even know that it's a true story of Braddock which happened in the Great Depression period until this class.
James J. Braddock was born on June 7th, 1905, His parents Joseph Braddock and Elizabeth O'Toole Braddock were an immigrant. His family was growing larger and larger so his parents decided to move across the Hudson River to the peaceful township of West New York in Hudson County New Jersey.
Like any other kids, He enjoyed playing marbles, baseball and hanging around the old swimming hole of the Hudson River or under the Hackensack River Bridge. He dreamt of becoming a fireman or a train engineer but actually it's just not like this.
In my opinion, Braddock was an optimistic person he always see things in a good view even in such a bad situation. From the movie since there were no job available, he decided to fight for the for to raise his wife and kids. He is a good fighter not only on the stage but in his real life also, he works various kind of jobs around the year 1919 to 1923 till September 1929 which the stock market crashed and the nation plunged into the "Great Depression" and ass the banks went down he is like so many other millions of Americans who lost everything. I think after he won the match, it could be an inspiration which brought him into the world of boxing.
He started to fight more and more some win some lose however most of the time he won. This time his name started to spread so that he got a chance to fight with many popular boxers. the important matche would be when he fight with Max Baer. Like in the movie as i saw i though he was quite old but finally he won this match and became the new heavyweight champion of the world.
After his retirement, Braddock go into the U.S. Army in 1942 which he became 1st Lieutenants. Before the war ended, he served on the island of Saipan. and helped construct the Verrazano Bridge and worked as a marine equipment surplus supplier, running generators and welding equipment. he and his wife,Mae, raised their three children, Jay, Howard and Rosemarie in a house they bought in North Bergen NJ. James J. Braddock died at home while he was sleepingOn November 29th 1974. His wife Mae Braddock continued to live in their North Bergen home for many years before moving to Whiting, NJ where she passed away in 1985.

Great Depression : Bonnie & Clyde


It's so fuuny that the main characters of this movie,Bonnie and Clyde, are robber, firstly i thought that i would be a romantic movie anyway this kind of movie is very attractive and excited their life are full of interesting. I think this period women and men are equal already in term of right. People in this movie live closely in the society when the problems were happened, they help each other like when the bank was robbed by Bonnie and Clyde others try to help but they afraid of them because they have gun. They killed people in a cold blood. But i think they are such a lovely couple. Although they argued seriously, they still love each other. Polices in that period work hard to protect the society peace. The car in that period were stole easily.

After i watching this movie for a while i started to understand why this period called great depression. It is because people are depressed by the econimic problem, bank took away their property likt house and land, so they have to rob for money to live since they have no choice. It seems that banks in that period are powerful.

In this movie though they are robber, i feel that they are good they at least have some moral they care for others they love their parents. Finally the fighting was happened because they do the bad thing everything is served to them already they were shot by meny people whom i think they were police, so tragedy ending.

ROAR 20 : Bobby Jones


Overall of this movie is about family which is very lovely and it reflected to the american culture which is Amrican people is very warm and kind especially the olders. Richer spent their free tine playing sport like golf in this movie. Children in that period is a good dreamer, they have a really beautiful ambition and they will put all ttheir passion to reach it. They hold their father as a hero, like in this movie Bobby Jones is interested in playing golf since he was young and he keep practicing until he is good at it. This is very good and it is seems that regard that period golf is very popular.

Things that i like in American culture are first american people care much about their prestige, though Bobby is great at golf, he refused to play for money. Second is american people is active and have high ambition with more energy to reach their goal, nomatter how hard it is Bobby still trying so hard or once he fail he will not giving up. Third is american men care much about their girl feeling and baby is like a sign for the long last love. ireally love the church bells.

Finally Bobby is a champion, and before i watch this movie i have heard the word "Auguata", i really dont know whatit is but since i finished watching this movie i knew it already. This movie is very good because it taught people that we should not giving up for the thing that we hope for and once we reach to the goal, we deserve it.

Off Season : Christmas Movie

This is such a lovely movie, i am truly believe that every children no matter where they come from, they would think about Santa Clause at least once. He is like an idol for many children who bring happiness to them. i think the movie try to show that how much children dreamt to meet Santa and Santa in their imagination is an old man who has beard and kind.
This movie reflects the American social a lot since it is an up to date movie i guess from their clothes, their talking style, a clear pronunciation and more. They love party.
However in this movie, i also think that parent should care about their children, they should not fight together while children can see them because it would be very bad and sorrow to see our father and mother fight together. Talking together is the best way.

Far & Away : Western Expansion


Oh my God!!! finally i got the movie i like, i remembered that i ever saw this movie once with my mother but that time i didn't know the name and i thought it was a little bit bored. The only one reason i watched is Nicole Kidman. This is the second time i watched it and it make me understand the name of this movie Far & Away.

While watching this, i perceived that social discrepancy is always be with every society like this movie the landlord who is very rich but still greedy on the other hand, the poor still have nothing. Rich people lived theird life on the suffering of others which is so mean. However i like this movie both plot and costume, the movie shows that the culture in that time is same as present, people love party drinking, flirting and making themselves happy. Some activity that i think it is illegal right now is the fight game but i am not sure about it. The transportation is was improved the ship was invented but horses still in used.

However i love this movie, it is so ramantic and lovely. i try to find this for a lone time and then i found it in your class, Thank you very much.



Red River : Western Expansion


At first, i thought this movie might be about the history or something bored but once i saw this movie i am sure that this movie is very bored lol.

Because through this movie, it is all about fighting and i think that the reason for fighting is to expand their power to have more territory. However i had noticed that about that period people become smarter and cleverer they have gun to use, their house was really the same like present easpcially the decoration. Women had more right to speak , men will go for their duty first and leave their love behind but i think it does not means that he did not love her, he just do thing for all first which is very good and impressive and i believe that this is the reason why weatern countries have such a great civilization than others in this world. i really wish that one day Thais would be like this, then our country would be better than today

Anyway, i have nothing to say much about this movie, i felt asleep while watching it.

Wind Walker


The first period of this movie is so romantic, i admired it a lot. but in the middle of the movie is like a war there are lots of fighting scene. However; its ending is so lovely.

i love the clothes of this movie especially women clothes, if we noticed they are fashionable at this period like miniskirt. In that period i also perceived that it's a hard time for women to giving birth since there was no hospital no good equipment. i think that Indian people in that period was crow because they have feather on their head. But i really don't know that why they have to fight together since they also said that they want to live peaceful. may be they have no choice so they have to. Children in that period also aimed to be a warrior they started to learn how to hunt. The man in this story also proved to me that he love his girl a lot by trying every way to protect her until she was killed by the other man and one of his son was kindnapped, he also try to take him back. i also love the way the paint their face.

One American culture that i have learnt from many stories including this is freedom of people, since they were young, they will learn everything by themselves and responsible for themselves too, which is good and it will broutght them to be a responsible person in the future.

The Far Horizon : Nation Building


About this movie, i have to say that it's a good movie but i don't believe that people from different culture can't live together like in this movie. I love costume of this movie it's so lovely.

This movie is like many of Thai story which two guys fall in love with one women. But since the man who was a map maker had to journey to make a map, he found the other Indian women and fall in love with her the girl named "Shoshone" at first she was assigned to serve the other man but she decided to run away and met the map maker. People's life in that period was very simple especially Indian people. They live in the forest as a group they were very wise also because they know hoe to make their own cloth from the animal skin. They live in a strong group in order to protect their land.

I also learnt that at that period, American was very strong, they spread their power by trying to enlarge their territory.

Jeremiah Johnson : Nation Building

At first i think this movie is a little bored for me because it's an action movie and i've no idea why the man in this story have to eat human organs which also scary me a lot but it has many good ideas and knowledges for me especially about American culture.

Before hand, i have learnt that in the past American people lived with nature and their folk is very simple. They find their foods to eat and cook them immediately. The people in that time were called Indian, their culture is very interested, their society in that time is not complex like present, there were one people who acted as the leader and ruled that society, people there also respect each others. Moreover; i also perceived the love of mother which she gave to her child, she might taught her child very good because children in that period have high responsibility, they worked sine they were very young to help their father. Nonetheless; she also take care of her husband very well.

In that period, i think the dangerouses are all around like tigers, wolves. People have to be ready to fight almost every time, they also have to fight to protect their territory.

The Scarlet Letter


This is the classical love story which is very funny but it is a little bit bored because it is black & white. i think it would be very interesting if it is colored.

However; this movie can be classified as a good movie since what i got is not only the entertainment, i also got some ideas about American cultures which are very interesting like the respomsibility of American people toward their duty, The punishment of their doing and moreover, the way of life of American people in that period for example the way they dressed, children activity, party and church activity.

I also perceived the feeling of true love which the man can sacrifices to the women and i adore it a lot because i believe that love is the thing that everyone needs but it is hard to witness the miracle.
