At that time he often see hallucination, which is illness. His illness is very serious and it makes difficult for him to solve math equation.

I had no information about this movie, so I was surprised to know that this is nonfiction after finishing watching this. This story shows man and wife's love and John Nash's passion for math. I learned the depth of man and wife and the importance of not giving up pursuing dream. If you watch this, you can also learn something!!

　　In Detroit America 1962, when there was deep-rooted racial discrimination of black people, there were three black country girls who dreamed of succeeding in the singing world. One day a man noticed their talent and produced them. They invented hit songs one after another and joined top star, but....

I went to see this with my friend two years ago, but I still remember having goosebumps because this is musical movie and Beyonce, Jennifer, Eddie sang very powerfully and soulfully. I was kept overwhelmed their outstanding singing ability. There were many good songs. This movie seems to be success story, but it contains jealousy, friendship, love, stratagem, betrayal, success and setback. So you can enjoy! I recommend you not only watch this movie, but also borrow or buy the sound track!!

A 14 years old Austrian,Marie Antoinette(Kirsten)married into 16 years old King Louis XVI(Jason). Though Marie is accepted as a queen only after having a baby, King Louis wasn't interested in Marie. She finds the pleasure of wearing dress and shoes. And also she becomes addict to party and gamble because of pressure and loneliness in palace life . She wastes many dresses, shoes, cakes, champagne. Finally, a baby is born to them, but there is no end to her waste and party. France fall into financial crisis and it causes a popular uprising against King Louis XVI and Marie. It is called the French Revolution.

I like Kirsten Dunst, so I chose this movie. There are many colorful and beautiful dresses, shoes es,sweets and buildings in this movie. I could enjoy this movie visually. This movie is about Marie Antoinette, so you may imagine this is a serious historical movie. But it depicts Marie's daily life in a palace vividly. So you can enjoy this movie comfortably, especially visually.
