Movie Review - The Princess Bride

 Have you ever heard of a movie called "The Princess Bride"?


 You might not have, because this movie was created in 1987 by Rob Reiner. It is a movie whose genre is a mixture of all sorts of things like romance, comedy, adventure, action, and it combines them to one big genre: fairy tale. It was filmed in Ireland, and the U.K, for some reason that I don't know.
 This movie's structure is a type where a grandfather reads a book to his grandson, and therefore the movie is sometimes interrupted by the 'reading scenes'
 Once upon a time, there was a girl named Buttercup, and her farm boy, Westley. Buttercup loved Westley, and Westley loved Buttercup in return. However, news reach Buttercup that Westley gets captured by the Dread Pirate Roberts, and so she unwillingly marries Prince Humperdink. 
 Just before the marriage commences, Buttercup is kidnapped by three outlaws, Vizzini, Inigo, and Fezzik. Vizzini was the leader who made the plan to kidnap her, so he was automatically the leader. She gets carried away, but she is freed by a man in black, and discovers that the man was the Dread Pirate Roberts, and discovers that the pirate was actually Westley himself. The title was passed down to great men or women, and it finally came to Westley, who the senior pirate thought as the next Dread Pirate. The Prince finds them, and Buttercup pleads to the Prince to not kill Westley, and the Prince says that  he will not harm them, but he actually tortures him in the 'Pit of Despair'. Inigo and Fezzik, meanwhile, was finding a six-fingered man, who killed Inigo's father, and was trying to take his revenge. They hear that the six -fingered man was torturing Westley, and they revive the unconscious Westley with the miracle medicine. Buttercup, who was waiting for Westley, was about the marry Prince Humperdink when Westley and the other two barged in and took her away. Inigo had already finished his revenge by killing the six-fingered man. Buttercup, who loved Westley, went to a far land and lived with him, making a 'happily ever after' ending.
 After I saw this movie, I thought about a man's love, a true love so strong that can endure torture, overcome mountains and oceans, a love that can never be set apart. I saw that Westley and Buttercup made the same love,  And I learned that love cannot be set apart.

 In this movie, I saw that the 'villians' in this movie were actually the ones with leadership, Vizzini ordered around Inigo and Fezzik, and knew how to make right decisions, but it was a shame to see his leadership broken by Westley's brute force.

My goals!

 Have you ever heard of a thirty-day challenge? It's something what Matt Cutts made up, which is accomplishing small challenges like reading books every week or taking pictures every day, in thirty days. Well, in this post, you'll see that I decided to make my own thirty-day challenges, and I pray that I'll succeed them.

 First, I'll read four books for this month. I see that we have study period, and since the KMLA has a library, I'll borrow some books from the library and read them in the study periods. I think I'll manage this, because there was a time when I read the fourth Harry Potter series in a day.

 Second, I'll finish my English vacation homework here. Since I spend a majority of my summer vacation here, I'll naturally finish my vacation homework here. I have a lot of time to do it. I have study periods, the time from 9:00~10:00, and I'm determined to finish it here.

Third, I'll finish my math book. My parents know that I'm not that good at math, so they ordered me to finish the second-grader math in the GLPS camp using the math book I use at school. I don't like it, but I guess I'll have to do it, for this is vacation homework, too.

For this, I'd like everybody to pray for me to accomplish these goals, and I'll be glad if somebody comments my blog.

About myself.

 Hi! My name is Choi Min-Hyuck, and my English name is Howard. I'm 15 years old and I live at Chunan, Chungchung Namdo. I'm currently attending to the GLPS English camp, and I think it will help me a lot.
 My hobbies? Well, I like to play League of Legends, and I love to watch English programs or read English books.
 These are three things that means something to me.
1.Numb3rs
2.Eragon
3.Kog'Maw

Did you get it? Numb3rs is the first English television program I saw. It's about a FBI agent solving crimes with a mathematician, and they apply math to crimes to get the criminals. So it's a very fun program, and it sometimes have romance inside it too.
 Eragon is the first English series that I read. It's about being the last Dragon Rider who opposes against an evil king. It's story seems a bit childish now, but at that time I read it with such enthusiasm that I still remember the summary now.
 Kog'Maw.... well.... is the first champion I used in League of Legends, and I used him for the longest time I've had then with other champions.

 So, I'll guess through this introduction you would have learned some things about me, and I'll wait for comments!
