Plot

This movie is about a young boy in
his second year of high school. He is
a small guy but very smart. He runs into
some bullies and his school life becomes
very difficult. He is not the kind of person
to run away, so he tries to take action against
them, but he is not big enough. Finally he
talks to a kid named Linderman. Linderman
is a big quite kid who keeps to himself.
Most of the other kids are scared of him
and there are many bad rumors that
he is violent. Despite this, they become
friends and Linderman defends him.
This movie is close to my heart and
shows the beauty of friendship and
the need to stand up for yourself.



この映画は高校2年生のクリフォードの物語。彼は小柄だがとても頭が良い。そんな彼の高校生活は、いじめっ子に出くわしきびしくなっていく。彼は立ち向かっていこうとするが、小柄すぎる。そこで、リンダーマンという、大柄で暴力者だとの悪い噂から恐れられている生徒と話をしにいく。そして、大半の生徒が恐れる彼と仲良くなり、リンダーマンはクリフォードを護ってやる。美しい友情と自分自身のために立ち上がる必要性を描くこの映画は、いつも私の心に身近にある大切な一本だ。




Linderman
映画 My Bodyguard 1980年_f0212156_322026.gif

He is the classic loner.
His character represents a lot
of people. He is the type that
did not grow up with money.
He has to work hard and struggle
to do well in school. He is tough
and scary on the outside, but inside
he is very deep and sensitive.
He has learned to survive by
not trusting people.


彼は典型的な一匹狼だ。貧しい環境に育ち、働きながら学校でうまくやっていくのに苦労している。外見上はタフで強面の彼だが、内面は深く、繊細が面を持っている。彼は人を信用しないことで生き残っていくことを学んできた。



The actor is Adam Baldwin (アダム・ボールドウィン)!!!
This is his Twitter!!

Tough Scene

The scene where Linderman loses
his motorcycle is tough to watch!
To see someone trust somebody
for the first time in a long while
and then to be attacked is hard
to watch. I feel so much for him.
To his credit, he doesn't give up,
but learns to stand up for himself
and others. He learns to trust
and to apply his power at the
same time!!!
