movie


"CHASING HOLDEN"
I watched this movie when I was high school student .
Why I watched this movie ? Because I read a book of this movie,and it was very nice for me. Why it was nice for me? You would know why it was nice if you watch 
this movie or read this book.


First time running away from home, first time falling in love, and a journey to find out he really is.
Divorce of his parents, strife between he and his father who is a governor of a state of New York, and his older brother’s suicide. Neil who is 19 years old has a lot of problem. He comes back from a mental hospital to a prestige and boarding high school. But he can’t adapt himself to the surroundings.
He always keeps a book
Catcher in the Rye” written by J.D.Salinger.
That book is his source of emotional support and he is convinced that if he meets
J.D.Salinger, all problems will be solved.
And then he is given a subject to describe a story of what happened later to the Holden who is a main character of “Catcher in the Rye”
But he can’t describe because it means to describe a story of what will be happened later to himself. He always thinks that he resembles Holden.

He sets out to meet Salinger and to ask a story of what happened later to the Holden with his girlfriend TJ whom he met the dramatic class.
It’s a journey from New York to New Hampshire in a hard winter.
On their way they spend a precious time and know a first time love.
But developed into a quarrel from something quite trivial, and they left from each other.
Neil goes to meet Salinger alone. He found out a Salinger’s house, and he found out a Salinger. Then he knows that the most precious person for him is TJ.
At once he turns back the way to TJ ..... but TJ was in hospital.
She had a serious disease. She got worse because of coldness and tiredness.And he lost the most precious person.
