Cyborg She

Screenshot from the Japanese movie Cyborg She. Haruka Ayase so pretty!

Her role as a cyborg was well-played as well. Especially when she disguised herself as a mannequin, it was so ... lifeless- perfect! Keisuke Koide acted as Jiro in this film, the lone ranger who always celebrates his birthday alone and buys himself a gift on his every birthday. 

Time travel was involved and how the cycle was broken was touching, sweet and a rather 'happily-ever-after' ending for Jiro n his 'dream girl'. 'Dream girl' as in metaphorically it is the cyborg but not physically... get it? Maybe you just have to watch the movie to understand. Humorous bits are adorable as well. Loved it!

Miss Potter

This was an inspiring movie, based on true life of artist, Beatrix Potter. She is the author and illustrator of the children's book of Peter Rabbit. Highly inspiring artworks which gives me a warm feeling when i look at them. Her life biography can be read here. Although she came from a rather affluent family, life and love wasn't easy for her due to pressures from her parents for her to wed to a suitor of high social status as well. The saddest part of the movie, which is also a turning point in her life was when her fiance, Norman Warne, died suddenly. This led her to find refuge and escape from her authoritative parents by buying over a charming countryside farm. The landscapes are simply beautiful and calm.

Taken from the movie, Miss Potter.

Links to a pubic domain of her books can be found here.

Well here are some illustrations by the artist.










Simply lovely aren't they?
