Had my friend not send me a message saying, “Let’s go out together somewhere on Saturday!”, I would have almost (1)missed out on a movie that I wanted to see. I offered her to 3 plans. The first was to go to the exhibition of Insects at the National Museum of Nature and Science. The second was to go to the exhibition “JOMON: 10,000 Years of Prehistoric Art in Japan” at the Tokyo National Museum. The third was to watch the movie “German Life” at Iwanami Hall. When I sent the URL links to her about those events, I didn’t know the last day for the movie was that Friday. I (2)mixed things up thought that that the movie will be shown until September. However, I luckily caught up and saw the movie that Friday.
Nonetheless, My evaluation of the movie is not high. I like the protagonist, Brunhilde Pomsel, (she didn’t look 103 years old at all!), but I have some doubts about the directors’ techniques and plot. The protagonist, Ms.Pomsel got a new job. She was (3)moved in as a stenographer for the Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels when she was 31 years old. Her dialogue with herself was brought a deeper insight in me. But, when I watched the horrifying scenes of the movie, I (4)broke out in a cold sweat. Here storytelling was interrupted 3 or 4 times to accommodate the videos the videos which were recorded by the US army. The directors had to be more considerate when using these horrifying scenes. In my opinion, it depreciated the movie’s value. I never blame Ms.Pomsel, but I felt that the directors were grasping at commercialism.

homework:
(1) miss out on: Lose an opportunity to do something.
(e.g) “What a shame. If you leave before Saturday you’ll miss out on the party.”
(2)mix up: Mistake one thing or person for another.
(e.g) “I don’t know the members’ names yet. I tend to mix them up.”
(3)move in: Arrive in a new home or office.
(e.g) “You’ve bought a new house? When are you moving in?”
(4)break out in cold sweat: If you break out in a cold sweat, you begin to perspire a lot, usually from anxiety.
(e.g) I get nervous at the dentist’s and usually break out in a cold sweat.
