初デート映画の選択
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
We have a shout out on this one.
All right.
On Kevin's English Room...
No, no, no.
On Amazon Music...
I always make this mistake.
On Amazon Music, we are doing a show called Kevin's English Room Podcast Plus.
It is a five-minute spin-off version of this show
where we answer English questions we get from our listeners.
It's free.
All you have to do is download Amazon Music with your free account,
and then you can just start enjoying the show.
Um, so check it out, guys.
Yep.
All right, all right, all right.
So let me check, let me pick a question for today's episode.
Okay.
Okay.
This is from Natsumi-san.
Okay.
こんにちは。
こんにちは。
いつも楽しく聞いています。
Thank you.
楽しく聞いていますが、一つ悩みがあります。
言っていることがほぼわかりません。
冒頭に、ウェルカムトゥーKERポッドキャストとおっしゃっていると思いますが、
そう言っていることに気がつくのに3ヶ月かかりました。
Wow.
That's pretty long.
Yeah.
そんな私にも会話の内容が理解できる場合が一つだけあります。
会話の中に日本語が多い場合です。
日本語での説明を読んだり、時折日本語を織り混ぜてお話をしてくださるときは、
ついていけなくなりそうとなるところで日本語の補足が入る感じで、
あめとむち形式で理解することができます。
なので、英語で話している間のニュアンスや言い回しの勉強に集中できるという仮説です。
Yeah.
この仮説を検証するため、一度名詞は日本語で、
その他は英語でフリートークをしてみるという回を作ってくれませんか?
ご検討のほどよろしくお願いいたします。
We can try.
Yeah.
We can try.
Sounds really difficult, though.
名詞は日本語で、
名詞は日本語、その他は英語。
Okay.
We can try.
Yeah.
Let's do that.
Okay, so I'm gonna pick another episode.
Oh yeah, sure, go ahead.
Okay.
Okay, this one.
レイナさん、英語には関係ないのですが、お二人に映画について質問です。
デートで見に行った映画で、これは良かった、や、これはやめとけば良かったというのはありますか?
先日、彼にグラディエーター2を見に行こうと誘われました。
映画を見に行く前日に。
Is that like a horror thing?
It's not a horror movie.
It's like a very masculine, very like,
like, macho guy.
Oh, okay.
And then they fight.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
映画を見に行く前、前日に1を見たのですが、
グロいシーンが多めだったので、映画館で見たくないと。
彼は絶対に見たいと言っていたけれど、私のわがままで行くのはやめることにしてもらいました。
その時に思い出した懐かしい思い出があります。
彼とは高校生の時から10年以上付き合っているのですが、
初めて二人で見た映画は
World War Z
ブラッドピットのゾンビ映画でした。
当時私はどんな映画が映画か何も知らずに見始めたのもあり、
怖すぎて何度ビクッとなってしまったか分かりません。
まだ付き合い立てで高校生だったことを考えると絶対に違ったし、
私かわいそうすぎると思いますがどうでしょうか。
今度彼が覚えているかどうか聞いてみたいと思います。
ぜひお二人の映画に関するエピソードを教えてください。
思い出の映画体験
いつも楽しく話しているお二人が大好きです。ケビンさん、ヤマちゃんさんがハッピーな日を過ごせますように。
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
So we're going to talk about that.
With the Meishi Japanese and everything else English.
I'm going to try that.
You know, I can think of, okay...
映画ね。
映画ね。
So, do you remember what was the first 映画 that you wrote with your girlfriend?
That I saw?
Huh, I think...
Let's see if I can remember.
Yeah.
Uh...
So like the first several...
Okay, so like...
The first several like...
Girlfriends that I've dated and went on a movie.
Okay.
I'm only concerned about when can I grab her hand.
So like...
It really didn't matter what the movie was.
I was like, when is it natural?
Can I do it now?
No, right now it's too intense.
The scene is too intense.
I mean, you have to use Japanese.
Wait, wait, wait.
Which part was that?
映画?
彼女?
You know, if Meishi...
Grab her hand?
Right, right, right.
That's complicated.
I was really concerned.
So the only thing that was concerned was like...
When can I grab her hand?
When can I...
Yeah, when can I do this?
I don't really remember.
But like...
But you know, I think I've only chosen one of those like...
Really...
Like, you know...
Normal...
Basic...
Minion...
You know, like...
Disney...
Not something like...
Yeah, nothing...
Nothing extreme.
Nothing extreme.
Nothing horror.
Nothing horror.
Right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Nemo.
Like Nemo.
Cute, cute, cute.
Yeah.
That's a proper choice though.
Yeah, I think I've chosen the right...
Right?
映画.
Yeah.
Right.
Me, I remember the first
映画 that I went with my
感情 was
Inception.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I mean...
Inception's good.
I like Inception.
Inception's good though.
It's a good movie. I still like it.
I don't know if me or her
wanted to see that.
But we went to the
movie theater.
Together. 映画館 together.
And then saw that 映画.
And then...
The movie itself was... 映画 itself was
really, really interesting.
Really...
Got us thinking.
You gotta dig deep.
We were more into the 映画.
I didn't like...
You know, like...
Grab a hand or something like that.
You gotta dig into that movie.
I mean, which is great too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And we talked about that, like seriously.
That's a great date.
That I remember.
I'm not sure she was
that deep into the movie.
As I did.
I'm not sure.
Maybe I was talking too much.
How long
did that person last?
As a relationship?
So that was...
So that was...
I think...
That was when I...
It's like a 春休み.
Before entering the high school.
It's like between
junior high and high school.
And she was the one I've been dating
初デートの映画選び
since we were in that
junior high.
And then...
We've been dating and go to the movie theater
in 春休み.
And then I entered the high school.
And then...
So Betsubetsu no High School?
Yeah, Betsubetsu no High School.
Faded away?
Yeah, kind of.
I don't remember, three months
after I entered the high school, I guess.
I see.
Well, that's that.
I mean, you are Chigasaki.
I mean, that wasn't the movie's fault.
Yeah, it was your fault, right?
It was y'all's fault.
It was our fault.
So, Inception wasn't bad.
Inception wasn't a bad choice.
I mean, do you think it wasn't a bad choice?
Inception?
I mean, Minions
or like those Disneys would be better, I think.
Sure, sure.
I mean, arguable?
Yeah.
Just as much arguable as Inception.
But sure, Minions...
Yeah, I mean, it's a common choice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Inception, huh?
Well, it's very complicated.
It's a very complicated movie.
You have to think about it.
You have to watch that movie.
How much did you understand?
I mean, I honestly...
When you saw it at that time.
I just understood the whole...
I don't know.
One story.
But I don't know if it was
100% or not.
I don't know the whole...
You know, whole end.
Yeah.
Like the spinning top?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like it's gonna fall or not?
Yeah, it's gonna fall or not?
That's the ending, right?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I don't remember, first of all.
The story.
Yeah.
But at least I enjoyed that movie, though.
So...
I think I at least understood
the...
One layer at least, I guess.
Yeah, I see.
But I would...
Christopher Nolan.
Christopher Nolan movie is like
very...
It's a huge...
It's a big topic.
It's very popular.
So I'm like...
It's a good choice
for a movie date, I think.
What do you think?
I mean, I would...
What's the worst possible
movie out there?
You think to go on a date?
First date with a girl?
Let me see what's up
on the Eiga-con right now.
So...
I would never choose that.
But horror movies
are one of the choices, though.
In the opposite side, you know?
It's just like...
It's scary.
Hold hands.
Magic, right?
Yeah.
It's just like you go to the Obakiyashi together.
And then something happens.
Yeah.
I would never choose that
because I don't want to see that.
Yeah, I hate it too.
But that can be one of the choices.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This one.
Gundam.
That can ruin
the relationship.
You know?
I can easily imagine that.
The guy into the Gundam movie.
And then the girl was like...
What is this?
What do you mean?
Yeah.
But I mean, that's one choice,
though.
For example, like...
Let's say, it's not a movie,
but a football game.
I'm so into football.
And...
Let's say, let's watch
together the football game.
And then if she
looks really
boring,
like bored,
express that boredness
to me.
You know?
And that's kind of a red flag to me too, right?
Yeah, yeah.
So that's one choice.
To go to something like that
and see what's happened.
Ah, I see.
To see, like, from both sides.
To check the reaction and everything.
I see.
Makes sense.
For example, like...
Part 2.
If you're choosing part 2s...
And she didn't watch the first one.
That's a terrible choice.
I mean, that's terrible as a...
As a human being,
as a friend too.
It's a very terrible choice.
Like, you know, Moana 2.
You know, they got the Moana 2 going?
Oh, they got Moana 2 going?
Moana 2's going.
Well, I mean, 2 isn't the choice.
Yeah, 2 is not the choice.
You shouldn't choose the 2.
And this...
Dokuda X.
If you've never seen the actual drama.
You shouldn't choose that.
I've never seen the drama.
I don't know what the character is.
That's true, that's true.
That's like...
We're gonna see that?
You shouldn't choose that.
Or something too...
Complicated.
Too depressing.
Too thoughtful.
I get it.
Too, like, controversial.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Something you should watch
that by yourself
and face it.
Like a movie that makes you rethink
about how you live.
You know, those things.
Death and life.
Love and dreams
and everything like that.
Yeah.
So I would choose...
Yeah, give me...
What would you choose out of the list
that we have right now?
First kiss.
Okay, I...
Bersaiyu no bara.
Okay.
Under...
Ninja.
I would choose that one.
Yo, what?
I have no idea what's that.
But it looks...
funny.
It looks like a comedy movie.
Can I see the...
Yeah, thanks.
Yeah.
Not this one.
It's a love story, huh?
Probably.
What's that?
Yeah, true.
初デートの映画選び
I mean, both...
You're both into jidaigeki.
But like as a casual...
don't know each other that much.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like the title's too...
Love?
Like it's too...
hardcore love, you know?
That's sad.
Like...
I don't know.
I'm not saying it's a message,
but like it's just...
I don't know.
The fact that we're watching the movie title
Dare yore mo tsuyoku dakishimete
just sort of feels like that's not something
that you'd do on a first date.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
True.
Not bad at all.
Yeah.
Is it like a...
drama, no?
Maybe, yeah.
But it's not bad.
Yeah, I would pick that one.
I don't know, I don't know.
Is it like an ocean thing?
I don't know.
Well, it's Hollywood, right?
Little...
No, Real Spain.
Real Pain.
Okay.
I mean, I don't know.
That's the one.
Yeah, I mean...
This is the one.
It would kind of go on the list.
Yeah.
But I would have to make sure that the girl's
into like these kinds of vibes.
Right.
You go to the theater and just one...
one old man just eating.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I'd love to spend time with somebody
who can enjoy these kind of movies.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right, right, right.
So that would be a great choice.
Great choice.
Lion King Mufasa.
Yeah, I think it's good.
Good.
Dr. X.
Moana 2.
Shingeki no Kyojin.
Kanketsu-hen.
The last time.
This is like the part two kind of thing.
If you haven't seen anything else, no.
Goldfinger.
Okay.
Giants.
The movie.
Choutei no Chousen.
The baseball movie.
Like a documentary on baseball.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, yeah.
If you're not into baseball,
you're really not into baseball at all.
So your choice is...
Wait a minute.
First date, right?
First date.
I would go with...
Glamedon?
Yeah.
Which one?
Yasei no Shima no Rose.
Do you know what it is?
I don't know what it is,
but I'm assuming it's like a Pixar movie.
So it's like...
You can't go wrong with a Pixar movie for a date.
That's my opinion.
Yeah.
So I would go with that.
Yeah.
Pixar's are like best.
Best.
Yeah.
True.
True.
Your choice is...
So...
Right.
Yeah.
You guys go into the movie,
and then you don't know what...
So you guys bought the tickets, right?
Yeah.
Let me tell you what the...
I have no idea what it is.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, yeah?
Okay.
Sounds fun.
Sounds fun?
Yeah.
Sounds fun.
Sounds fun.
Yeah, sure.
I want something like ridiculous and comedy.
Probably is something like that.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Go for Pixar's.
Yeah.
Go for Pixar's.
I like that.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Bye-bye.
