I'm 20-year-old university student. I love films. Hopefully I want to contribute to film industry in the future. I also like communicating people in English, especially speaking is so much fun. I've been working at a coffee shop and lots of foreigners come to drink coffee there. I'm enjoying talking with them in English. I play the terror sax in Ramen-Dokokai.

THE CIDER HOUSE RULES


  • Homer is ineligible to join the military because of a bad heart. He has spent his entire life at an orphanage in St. Clouds. Dr. Wilbur Larch sees great promise in the boy and imparts valuable medical knowledge to him. By the time he has reached adulthood, Homer is as good a doctor as Larch, without a degree. There is also a moral divide between them: Larch will perform abortions even though they're illegal, but Homer will not. Homer's life changes by the arrival of Air Force officer Wally and his girlfriend, Candy. She's at the orphanage for an abortion and after a brief stay at the hospital Larch runs, she is ready to go home. Homer chooses this moment to hitch a ride with them out of St. Clouds so he can see the world and establish a life for himself. That life eventually includes picking apples at a remote orchard and falling in love with Candy while her boyfriend is off flying missions against Japan. Meanwhile, back at the orphanage, Dr. Larch finds his hopes continually dimming that Homer will one day return. (1999)
  • Actually, as it has been long time I saw this film, I don't remember about the content clearly...but I'm sure that this is really beneficiam one. This film is based on a million seller book so lots of people were waiting for this movie, I found from the DVD feature. The story itself, is really realistic. Some scenes are so real that it sometimes hard to see directly. I deeply thought about abortion after watching it.
    Talking about "Spider Man," you may remember Tobey Maguire. I prefer him acting Homer in this film to Spider Man. His acting is so good, you'll see in this film. His smile is something very warm.

Hi Takase
You will easily find the DVD in a rental shop coz this is pretty famous and popular one!
I once thought "Why its title is Cider House Rules?" but gradually realized the meaning of the title during showing time. I hope you will enjoy this film.
