Hashima Movie Museum

Oct

When I was out riding my bike, I found this place: The Hashima Folk History & Movie Museum.

It was closed, but the poster outside caught my attention - an old movie starring Ken Takakura. After seeing this poster, I really wanted to watch this movie, so later I went to a DVD rental store & rented it.

It`s great. First, gangsters hassle Ken`s family. Then they mistreat his sister. Next they blackmail (脅し取る) his brother, & after that they kill his father. Finally... it`s KEN REVENGE TIME! Ken Takakura goes to the gangsters` HQ & kills them all (making sure to expose his chest & show off his muscles & fancy tattoos in the process).

Actually, all early Ken Takakura movies feature this same plot.

Vocabulary:

First... Then... Next... After that.... Finally/Lastly...

Be careful: `After that` is OK, `After then` is WRONG
Also: `Lastly` = 最後に `At last` = やっと

Yes - I enjoyed watching it. I was looking forward to the final fight scene.

In his movies, he usually has pretty fancy Japanese-style tattoos. But I don`t want one. As you know, if I had one, I wouldn`t be able to enter a Japanese hot spring.
