What A Girl Wants

OK, I know this film is old enough since this movie was released in 2003, but I still love this film anyway. <3


This film is about a girl, American girl for exact, who has a British father, who works as a politician, whom she hasn't met even for once because her mother left her father when she hasn't born, and never tell her about her father. Daphne Reynolds, portrayed by Amanda Bynes, is a pretty little unique girl who has her own style, full of confidence, fashionable, tough, and strong, yet she's lonely. Her dream to meet her father made her decided to go to England, all by herself, to meet her father.


She decided to leave her house and her mother Libby, portrayed by Kelly Preston, to go to England. When she finally arrived at England, people staring at her like she's a bad girl just because her fashion taste. Then she finally came to her father's house. When she's arrived, people think she's a beggar, but when she says about her mother to her father Lord Henry Dashwood, portrayed by Colin Firth, and shows him her photo album, she suddenly become one of the family member.


It's not easy for her to change her fashion taste and style from a carefree and liberal American girl into a sweet, polite, and feminine British girl. She made riots twice. But eventhough she did those, she made a fussy lady love her. And her grandma love her too. Her grandma love her more than her step sister, who is very ambitious, and her step mother, who's willingly to do anything just to get high social status.


Meanwhile, her father, Henry, doesn't have any idea about her existence. And when she suddenly came there, Henry is so happy. But then he get pressured by the media and Alistair (Jonathan Pryce), Glynnis's father (Henry's fiancee and Daphne's almost become step mother), to change Daphne's attitude. Daphne tried to obey her father, changes her natural self into her fake self, but then when the father-and-daughter dancing starts, Daphne can't dance with her father because Glynnis and Clarissa (Daphne's almost become step sister) lock her in a room, and when she finally found her way out and ran to her father, she saw her father dance with Clarissa. She cries and chooses to come back to America with her mother and her boyfriend Ian, and starts her normal life again.


But, eventhough she comes back from England, she just can't let go of her memories with her father.


At the same time, in England, when her father works alone at night, her grandmother enters his room and says "For decades, our family has sacrifice everything for this country. Everything. Do you know what will you sacrifice now Henry? Your heart." Then she hugs him. And the next day, when Henry wants to give a speech in front of his supporters, he says "I quit." Alistair becomes so angry so he reveals his biggest secret that he's the one who ruined Henry and Libby's relationship. He knew Libby was pregnant so he asked Libby to leave him. After Henry knows about that, he punches Alistair right to his face, then he leaves Glynnis and Clarissa to get his own life.


When Daphne sees her father comes to America, to pick her and her mother, she's very happy. Especially when she sees her father and mother romantic scene. Then, at the end of the movie, Daphne failed the university's enrollment test, but she passed Harvard's test, which has a higher test level.


This film shows me that Money Isn't Too Important, There's Something More Important Than Money, Something Which Money and High Social Status Can't Buy.

To Kill A Mockingbird


To Kill A Mockingbird is a novel written by Harper Lee in 1960. This novel has won a Pulitzer Prize and become one of the American literature. British librarian said that the book is 'a must read book for every person before he/she die'. And the number of copies is ahead from Bible, I heard an issue that this book entered Guinness Book World of Record for the enormous selling. I tried to search it everywhere when suddenly, out of the blue, my friend, Dela, lent me this book.

The events took place in Maycomb County, Alabama. It's about the people there, their opinions about black people, racial attitude, and racial inequality. The main character there are Jean Louise 'Scout' Finch, Atticus Finch, and Jeremy Atticus 'Jem' Finch. Jean Louise is a six year old girl who lived with her older brother Jem, and her father Atticus. She is a boyish girl, always wear boy clothes everywhere, has no doubt to fight the people who bully her, and doesn't care about other people's opinions that 'a girl should wear girls clothes'. She hates school very much and often make problems for Atticus so she can stop going to school. She has a fiancee named Dill who comes to Maycomb every summer and will ask her to play something about Boo Radley, the never-go-out-from-his-house neighbor. Jem Finch is her older brother who loves football and Dill's best friend. He's the one who always protect Scout everywhere and unlike Scout, he always tries to remain calm when people bully his father and say bad words about his father. He's four years older than Scout.

While Atticus, their father, is a lawyer who choose to defend Tom Robinson, a black man who is accused for a rape of Mayella, Bob Ewell's daughter. Ewell family is famous for their dirty and stubborn attitude, the children only appear for several days in school then leave and won't come back to school. It happens for generation. Meanwhile Robinson family has better reputation than them. They're innocent. Actually, Atticus is a great man, he's famous for his shooting skill, eventhough he never shoot anymore for 30 years. And he's also a great father too. He's wise, and when there's an argumentation, he always listens to both sides and see from both sides point of views. Many Maycomb people admire him for his shooting skill and his other skills although he stays humble, down to earth, and never brags about them. There's one person in their house, a black one. His name is Calpurnia. He's like butler, more like family to the Finch family. He always cooks food for them, and often makes Scout's favorite food. Unlike other family in Maycomb who will treat black people as slaves, Atticus, Scout, and Jem never treat Calpurnia as slave. They even treat him like he's one of the family member. What they get, Calpurnia shall get it too, and what they eat, Calpurnia shall eat it too. There's no racial inequality in that family. Despite the fact that most Maycomb people are racial, Atticus never teach his children to do that, and I admire him for that. This book has got taken into a film, and this is the film's trailer

My most favorite quote is

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view . . . until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.

Death Bell

It's a thriller film. In a private high class school ,which often give tests to the students to compete in order to become the number one. The film starts when I-na, the female lead, get a nightmare about Ji-Won, her bestfriend who died one year ago. Then she and her friend, Myong Hyo, goes to school. And the frightening events start. On a usual morning, suddenly one of the PA student, the smartest student in the school, Hye Young, disappeared, and not long after that, all of the students hear a creepy sound, then the television suddenly turned on, and the students, along with their fellow teachers, see Hye Young there, trapped in an aquarium.

Then they hear a man's voice, says they need to answer the question correctly before the time runs out, or Hye Young will die. One of the teacher doesn't believe it and try to contact the outside world using his cellphone, but every cellphone there gets no signal.Then he chooses to go out from school eventhough the voice says not to, and 5 minutes later, he comes back in all bloody suit and dies in front of the students and the teachers. Well, the game isn't over yet, since the murderers keep kidnapping and killing the students one by one based on their school rank. As time passes, the main female character Kang I-na (portrayed by Nam Gyu-ri) figured out about the murderers motive and the teacher's secrets.

Well, I think you need to see it by yourself. Put your earphone and watch it alone will be great. :D And if you're Kim Bum fan, you should see this movie. Kim Bum plays as Kang Hyeon, the main male character whose heart belongs to I-na, the chubby short haired girl, eventhough Myong Hyo love him. And he dies when he tries to protect I-na from Cho Beom, a fellow student who is also the key to Ji Won's death. Well there's one lesson we can get from this film, that's Stay Honest And Use Honest Ways To Get Your Purposes.

And this is the trailer
