o think that watching foreign movies
are very fun. Because, some way somehow, they are reflecting some values of what they are considering to be valuable
consciously or unconsciously. Values usually varies from country to country and time to time, which means some
values that are evaluated highly in some country might not be considered to be valuable at all in other countries.
Likewise, old movies might be regarded as old from the eyes of present days. But, once we have noticed we are living
in highly heterogeneous living space due to the fact the Internet is linking the persons who have originated from
many different cultures each of which certainly has its own value system, it becomes mandatory to realize the relativity
of 
a
value system and have the capability of accepting other values than his own. In this regard, watching movies gives
us the opportunity of knowing what other countries' people are thinking and what other ages' people were thinking.
For now, my main target is only English spoken movies. Because I can't understand any other foreign languages.
But eventually, I will expand the territory. Anyway, it will take a vast amount of time until I have been satisfied
with my knowledge even only about English spoken movies. And, for the time being, I will limit my reviews to the
movies made after 1960 and mainly 1960s and 1970s movies. There are several reasons for my doing so. One of them
is because I have noticed there are few movie reviews on the Internet that is handling movies made in this duration.
I am not so courageous as to dare plunge into crowded plac
e of reviews for recent movies, and as to dare desecrate the divine
place of the golden age with insufficient knowlege about it. Only after I have acquired sufficient knowledge, I
will resolve to proceed to these areas. Finally, I would like to say this; as I am always trying to modify, as
well as write new ones, the old reviews if I have found out inappropriate parts in them, I would be very happy
if you periodically checked my home page. If you have something to say, please send me an E-mail. Thanks.
