My Movie Review on Princess Bride

Princess Bride

Today I'm going to talk about a movie filmed in 1987 called 'The Princess Bride', which was directed by Rob Reiner. It starts with a grandfather telling a fairy tale to a sick boy. It was filmed in Ireland and the UK. It was based on a love story which was like a fairy tale. The genre of this is fantasy, romantic comedy and adventure.

The story starts with two people in love, Butter and Westley. They both live on a farm and they had deeply fallen in love. the man Westley left to find his fortune. Unluckily message got back to Buttercup saying that he was dead. After, Buttercup was forced to marry Prince Humperdink the man living in the castle. He was the son of the king. One day Buttercup was kidnapped by the people by three people named Fezzik who was a giant, Inigo a great fencer and Vizzini who was the smartest person. But there was an unknown person following them. It was Westley. He followed Buttercup to the Cliff of Insanity. Westley defeats all three of them and saves Buttercup, but they were chased by Prince Humperdink. They were both both captured. Buttercup was forced to marry and Westley was killed by the Prince. Luckily, Rezzik and Inigo helped Westley because he let them live, also Inigo had to go into the castle to kill Count Rugen, the person who killed his father. Inigo goes to Miracle Max and revives Westley. Three of them storm the castle. They save Buttercup and kill Count Rugen. They all achieved their goals.

My opinion is that this was an OK movie. I really liked the parts of the movie. The lesson was: True love is strong and nothing can stop the bond. I think Westley has a good leadership because he was experienced and creative. He always had ideas.

After reading my review, watch the movie! Then comment what you think. Enjoy!

My Three Goals

Today I am going to talk about my 3 goals that I will achieve while in GLPS. This was inspired by a TED talk. He said to try something new for 30 days. These goals are all related to me.

My first goal is to finish my math textbook before I finish the GLPS camp. I want to improve my math. So everyday I will do four pages of my textbook.

My second goal is to become a better leader. I will not be shy when introducing myself and will stand up for myself. Every time, I will try and give suggestions and help my group.

My third goal is to improve my golf swing. As we are learning golf in P.E. I will concentrate on every lesson. I will try to listen carefully. At my dorm I will practice my stance too.

I hope I achieve my goals; also, I hope you create your own 3 goals for 30 days. Good luck!
