Notes on a Scandal

Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett performed enthusiastically in the film "Notes on a Scandal". I watched this film last weekend. The two actresses were brilliant!The story looks so real that I was very scared after watching it. I like such story.

By the way, Judi Dench got an Oscar nomination for an actress in a leading role for this film last year. At the Oscars the winner was Helen Mirren for "The Queen". That's a pity! Helen Mirren and Judi Dench are both titled Dame.

Though I've watched a lot of hilarious Italian films these days, I think such a British film is a breath of fresh air. Barbara Covett (Judi Dench) is a very selfish older woman who loves her cat and likes to do things for others. She was a dangerous woman. Actually, as people have their own way of thinking, we cannot understand everything about other people's thinking and the story is possible.

I think that a horrible story like that is possible in Japan. If a woman like Barbara Covett approached me, what could I do? I consider what I'm supposed to do. As I'm thinking that, I'm so scared. On the other hand, I will take care of myself not to be like Barbara in the future.

I recommend the film "Notes on a Scandal " to you. You will also feel scared.
