What do you do in your free time? Some like to listen to music, some play sports, and some watch TV programs. I often watch movies and anime, and today I would like to introduce three of my favorite movies here. Let’s make your free time more enjoyable and meaningful!

The best action and mystery story “Now you see me”

The movie “Now You See Me” is a 2013 American film directed by Louis Leterrier. FBI agents and the INTERPOL struggle to catch magicians who use magic to rob banks in this story. As the magicians use magic to charm their audience and cleverly escape, and the agents try to catch them by predicting future actions, the battle between them is interesting and unpredictable. I am pretty sure this movie will never get you bored. There are two seasons already uploaded on NETFLIX, and the third season is coming on June 24, 2022. Please watch the first and second seasons of “Now You See Me” to prepare for the next season!

The great impressive story “I am mother”

This is a story about a robot raising a girl in an isolated laboratory. The girl who the robot mother raises is told that humans do not exist. One day, however, one person comes to the laboratory for help, making the girl realize the existence of humans. She tries to go out to get to know other humans, but her mother stubbornly stops her, saying it is dangerous. What kind of scheme does the robot have, and will the girl be able to live safely? This is a story that will make you think about the nature of family while enjoying the suspense. When I have watched it for the first time, I cried a lot at the end. It is the most emotionally moving family story I have ever watched, and I strongly recommend you watch “I Am Mother.”most moving family stories I have ever watched and I strongly recommend you to watch “I Am Mother.”
