Watching old movies on Youtube/ Carlos Pueblo
I have
watched a lot of old movies on Youtube lately because I am
recuperating
from two cataract procedures on my left eye, one
un-successful
and the other a cleanup one. It covers
the old films
of Japan,
European War, Pacific Wars, and many western movies.
The majority
of the old Japanese samurai, a kind of waged warrior,
are during the
Tokugawa Shogunate, 1603 to 1868, in some history
called Tokugawa
Bakufu or Edo Bakufu which is very easy for me to
understand.
Of course, movies included those tales before Japanese
unification,
the war state era. I can feel the advance of Japanese
movies
making industry, the verification of classical language, costume
, and model human
character etc. We like to admire what we called
A Japanese
Spirit nowadays. I must admit that my Japanese language
is not quite
reach to the level of understanding the movie; however,
the English
screen certainly helps very much.
Only after
coming back from my second Europe trip. I started looking
into the
internet for the information to satisfy my curiosity of Spain.
I found the
Moors Dynasty, 711-1491. I did not find very many movies
on Youtube;
however, Google search helps me extending my mind to
Islam, the
relation between Chinese Muslim and the Middle East, the
Silk Road. Most
of the European movies on file are the war movies
which is
dramatically interesting especially for the two nations, Germany
and England,
before and after World War II. This is why I like to go back
to visit
Europe two more times.
In the
Pacific War, the Hollywood has presented many naval battle movies.
I prefer
movies to documentary which is in contract with my reading habit
that I like
non-fiction books. There were several naval battles between Japan
and U.S.
during WWII and therefore, many sea battle movies which helps me
to
understand the current warfare and national defense buildup.
Finally, I
get out of war movies and enter western movies. Most of the western
movies were
about the tales of less than 200 years ago of the American West.
I have been
to some of the western States and I feel that the west is still keeping
very well of
the past. Western movies always have gun fight; however, they are
very simple
life, the way of survival, how the ancestor build this nation.
