Christmas Movie Special!

Christmas Movie Special!

Tuesday ~ 25th December 2007

My aunt gave us a little special treat today!
It was a movie treat and only the girls and aunts were invited! Girls night out! haha!

The movie was really interesting! We watched the movie screening at "The Cathay - The Picture House". This movie is only screened one time, which is today, 25th December 2007.

The movie was called "Hula Girls" (a Japanese movie).



Hula Girls (フラガール Hura Gāru) is an award-winning Japanese film, directed by Sang-il Lee and co-written by Lee and Daisuke Habara, which was first released across Japanese theaters on September 23, 2006. Starring Yasuko Matsuyuki, Etsushi Toyokawa, Yū Aoi, Shizuyo Yamazaki, Ittoku Kishibe and Junko Fuji, it is based on an actual event and follows the attempts of a group of enthusiastic girls to take up hula dancing to save their village.

Hula Girls was critically acclaimed upon release in Japan and nominated for a total of 12 awards at the 2007 Japan Academy Awards, going on to win five major awards, including that of best film, best director, best screenplay, best supporting actress (for Yū Aoi), and most popular film. It also won two major awards at the prestigious 80th Kinema Junpo awards, including that of best film and best supporting actress (for Yū Aoi). Since its release in Japan, the film has been shown across theaters and film festivals worldwide.

I had a very simple and pleasant Christmas this year!

Merry Christmas to all!
