Movie Review: The Princess Bride

"The Princess Bride", it's a classic. It's a pretty good movie to be honest. I really liked the idea of a grandpa reading the story to his grandson. It's quite unique compared to other movies. Also, despite the movie being produced in the 80's, it has realistic scenes. I would say, that Fezzik's (the giant) voice sounded a bit artificial, but I'm not sure. I could definitely say that he was huge. I could even say he's mysterious. I never saw a man that big. No wonder he's called the 8th wonder of the world. Overall, it was entertaining to watch.
The basic plot is this. Buttercup and Westley have a romance together. However  Westley suddenly dies due to the infamous pirate Dread Pirate Robert. At least this is what Buttercup heard. Spoiler Alert! Westley became the pirate. However not knowing this, Buttercup had to marry the prince of the kingdom, Prince Humperdink, who plotted to murder her just to start a war.
Recognizing this, Westley went to save her. He fought a Spaniard, a giant, and a genius. The genius, Vizzini was killed. The Spaniard, Inigo went on to seek revenge against a six fingered man who killed his father who was working under the prince. The Giant ends up helping Westley and Buttercup.
The only thing that I could say that was negative were the cliches. It wasn't really surprising when Westley reappeared. It was really predictable. It had the cliche with the characters being immortal. The action, was not really enough. About 60% was dialogue, and I basically believe that action kind of lacked a bit. I wished for more fighting.
I loved the plot though. It might be a common plot, but it was good. The whole movie was just fun. Especially with Inigo. I absolutely loved the line "You killed my father. Prepare to die", his accent and repeating was just so hilarious.
I would like to recommend this to the fans of movies with a mix of romance and action. The theme 'truelove' fits in pretty well. In a nutshell, it was pretty great.
I personally think that Westley showed the most amount of leadership. He knew when to fall back and he knew when to go. He was doing a good job on leading the group.

3 Goals for 30 Days

<span style="background-color: white;">As you can see, I'm currently at GLPS camp.Thus, my goals will have to be limited inside the GLPS camp grounds... Any ways I have chosen a total of three goals to achieve while I'm at this camp.

The First goal will be taking a picture every single day. It can just be 1 picture a day. The reason I've chose this goal is well, simple. I am in the photo taking CA. So It's basically practicing for it. Besides, maybe I could release my inner artist with this goal. I might post some funny or interesting pictures onto Reddit. Or, just like what Matt Cutts had said in his TED talk, the pictures could be a personal reminder, or diary of some sort that would tell me what happened.

My Second goal is to get some exercise everyday. It doesn't have to be something hard like weightlifting. It can jist me some pushups. I could start out as 3 pushups a day. Then i could increase the number until 10. It will be good for my studies for how it is said that exercises do help your studies. I could have an incease in height. It is a true fact that if I do 10 pushups a day, I will get taller.So it is easy, simple and efficient. I think that this could make a phenominal goal. Especially for people who hate the outdoors like me ha ha .

My Last goal is to no longer use facebook. First, I'm going to uninstall it from my phone. Then, I'm going to block the website from my computer. Thus, making the website completely cut off from me. It's going to help me not be distracted from the work at GLPS. It is not hard, but it is effective.

Scott For Dummies




1. Russia
2. Reddit
3. Cats

My Name is Scott. I'll introduce myself. The three words above this text are things that I can say that are keywords of myself.

1.

Russia is a country that I can say is my favorite. It has a unique history that can be distinguished from the typical europeon type of history. Also, I find russian culture interesting as russias culture is the mix of both eastern and western cultures. For example, the architecture in Russia, for example the Kremlin palace has a unique feel to it.

2.
 Reddit is my favorite site. It's bookmarked in almost all of my computers, and I have visited it the most. It has a lot of funny pictures along with gifs. It also has a lot of news articles with pictures related to it. You can register for free, and it's quite easy to use.

3.
 Cats are my favorite animals. IF someone asked me if I'm a cat person or a dog person, I'd rather say cat. Cats are pretty gentle, and to compare, their a bit more hygienic than dogs. They're funny to. I find it entertaining to watch a cat do something stupid.
