This movie seems to be called Up in the USA,
so I was very surprised by this. Also, it was produced by Pixar and the animated
movie was shown in 2009. And this is the movie got many prizes, so it was very famous
in Japan, too.
Next, I will talk about characters and
story of this movie. The chief character is Carl Fredricksen. He is 78 years
old that he is taciturn. Ellie is the wife of Carl. She met Carl when they were
children and invited him to "the adventure club". She handed Carl her
“adventure book" one day.
Russell of the Wilderness Explorer is 8
years old and full of curiosity. He follows Carl to accomplish a duty of the
Boy Scout and joins air travel of Carl by a strange chance. Dug is a dog put wearing
a dog word interpreter invented by Muntz. He is one of dog corps of Muntz, but
he is treated like a dropout from other dogs and always acts by himself. However,
he comes to love Carl as his master because he shared an action with Carl.
Kevin is the legendary bird which Muntz
looks for all his life. And he is 12 feet tall and has colorful feathers. He
met Russell and took to them. Charles F. Muntz is an adventurer who played an
active part in the 1930s, and his existence was what Carl and Ellie longed for
in their childhood. But Muntz misunderstood and thought they came to South
America to obtain Kevin, so he conspires to take care of them.
Carl met Ellie in their childhood. And they
were joined in marriage after that and they got a new home in the unoccupied
house where they came across each other for the first time. They were not blessed
with a child, but enjoyed their time as a couple and lived happily. And then Ellie
fell ill and died. Carl was very sad and everyday was a hardship for him, so he
decided to travel by him house and 10297 balloons.
My favorite scene is the last scene. I like
the scene they were eating ice cream on the street, too. I was impressed by the
scene where Carl gave the Ellie’s badge to Russell. They had loneliness towards
each of their families, but this adventure was a chance for them and I think
that they think of each other like a true family. Also, I think this adventure
would give hope to be alive to them. And Dug could feel happy with Carl, too. There
were able to change by having met each other. Moreover, there are many thrilling
scenes in this film. I watched it for
the first time, it was a great movie!!
