【講師コラム】ローマー講師No.8～What is the best movie you’ve ever seen?～

It is very entertaining to watch movies that can make you feel part of them. Movies that can change your emotions or how you perceive life, some movies can help us learn a valuable lesson, and some movies can make us laugh or cry. Whether you’re a kid, a teen, or an adult, watching movies can entertain us and make us forget about reality for an hour. It is a great way to lessen stress and boredom.

One of the best movies that I’ve watched is “Hacksaw Ridge”. It’s about a soldier named Desmon Doss who saved 75 men trapped at the top of the cliff during the Battle of Okinawa in World War II. He had miraculously not been wounded and stayed in the fight with his team. He vows to never touch or use a gun in the battle and takes the Commandment “Thou shall not kill” very seriously. He had earned the respect of many because of his bravery, selflessness, and compassion after he risked his life without firing a gun to save 75 men. The movie is not only entertaining but also inspiring as it showcases the power of courage and determination even in the face of adversity.

There might be a thousand movies out there that teach valuable lessons. A lesson that we can use in our lives and a lesson that can change the way we see life. Let’s be Desmond Doss, who is brave, selfless, and compassionate toward others. It might be impossible to save people the way Desmond Doss did, but it is not impossible to save or help people out there who are struggling to find their next meal.
