THE WALL:

Andy's character -Roh Mu Hyun-

ZZPosted by andy on Tuesday, August 3, 2010 , under | comments (0)



Roh Moo-hyun (Korean pronunciation: [no mu çʌn]) was the 16th President of South Korea (2003–2008). Before entering politics, he was a human rights lawyer.

Roh's pre-presidential political career focused on human rights advocacy for student activists in South Korea. His electoral career later expanded to a focus on overcoming regionalism in South Korean politics, culminating in his election to the presidency. The election was strongly influenced by activists on the Internet, and particularly via OhmyNews—the first time this had ever happened in Korea.Roh's election was notable for the arrival to power of a new generation in Korean politics, the so-called 386 Generation, (i.e. people in their thirties when the term was coined, who had attended university in the 1980s, and who were born in the 1960s). This generation had been veterans of student protests against authoritarian rule, and advocated an assertively nationalist line towards the United States and Japan, and a conciliatory approach towards North Korea.


Despite high initial hopes,  however, Roh's administration quickly became dogged by accusations of incompetence, while Roh's frequent personal clashes with his opponents and critics would eventually undermine public support.

Roh committed suicide on 23 May 2009 by jumping from a mountain cliff, after leaving a suicide note. His suicide was confirmed by police.

The Kite Runner (2007)

ZZPosted by Anx on , under , | comments (4)





I watched 'The Kite Runner' recently, after I read the book with the same title, written by Khaled Hosseini.


The Kite Runner it's a story about friendship, but also about the political turmoil and the violent fights from Kabul, Afghanistan. Amir (a boy coming from a wealthy family) has to live with the guilt that he abandoned his best friend, Hassan, the son of his family's servant, in one of the worse moments of his life. Him and his father will run away in USA, after the Soviets occupies Kabul.


Even though, as usually, I liked the novel better, the movie was pretty good. I give The Kite Runner 3/5 stars 4.1/5 stars


The movie starts with Amir being in America and having published his first book. He remembers his childhood, back in Kabul, when he was reading stories for his illiterate best friend, Hassan. Hassan was the son of his father's Hazara servant and he was totally devoted to Amir.


Amir's father loves both of them the same, but he doesn't like that Amir spend so much time reading and writing. The little boy thinks his father blames him for his mother's death, when she gave him birth.


Hassan and Amir run kites and Hassan has a real talent for that. He can take off a kite without even looking at it. Amir wins the local running kites tournament and his father's admiration.




Hassan goes to get back the last broken kite, but he will meet Assef and his friends. Assef is an older boy, who keeps bullying Amir for having a Hazara friend (Hazara was considered an inferior race). Assef will rape Hassan and Amir watches the entire scene, but he's too coward to interfere.


The boys won't say anything about the rape, Amir because he thought he will lose his father love and Hassan was too embarrassed to tell the truth and this will create a gap in their friendship. Amir wants Hassan out of his life, so he plants his watch under Hassan's mattress, so Hassan can be accused of stealing. Even if Amir's father forgives him, Hassan's father takes him and they leave the house.


Five years later, Amir and his father are forced to leave Afghanistan, whereas the Soviet Union invade Afghanistan. After many adventures, they reach USA. There, he will meet and fall inlove with Soraya, a fellow refugee. They will get married soon after and learn that they can't have children.


After 15years, Amir receives a phone from his father's best friend, asking him to come to Pakistan. When he goes there, he will find out that in fact Hassan was his brother so he went back to save him, but he's already dead. He found that Hassan had a son and his mission is to save him from the orphanage.


He will disguise (wears a fake beard and moustache) to enter the Taliban territory. He had to, because all Afghan people who ran away were punished. Amir couldn't find Hassan's son, Sohrab, in the orphanage, but the director tells him that a Taliban official comes often and takes a girl back with him, sometimes a boy. Last time he took Sohrab and he never came back.


Amir found the boy, dancing dressed in women's clothes, in a house of a rich people and being raped by Amir's acquaintance from the past, Assef. He will agree to release Sohrab, only if he can cruelly beat Amir who will be saved by Sohrab's slingshot. Amir takes Sohrab back with him to America and him and his wife decides to adopt him.


At the very end, Amir is teaching Sohrab how to run a kite and he's talking about Hassan and what talented kite runner he was.

Story of a Lifetime -(Character)-

ZZPosted by Anx on , under , | comments (0)





In 1918, in a small town from the south-east of Romania (a country from Europe) was born the only and much-wanted child of a middle class family. His name was ‘Petre’ – the Romanian version of the name Peter.

Being the only child was a great advantage for him in those times, when usually families had at least 4 children. Their neighbours, for example, had 8 kids and Peter loved to spend time with that poor family, because he hadn’t any brothers or sisters and there was so much more fun! He remembered his entire life how he used to have dinner with them: all 8 children, with Peter 9, gathered around the table, waiting impatiently with the spoons in their hands for the food. Mother put on the table polenta and a big bowl with milk and some goat cheese on a plate.

And they were starting eating. Actually, that wasn’t eating, but racing for food, because a bowl of milk and some cheese can’t be enough for 9 starving children! Peter always was leaving hungry, because the others were eating faster than him.

When Peter was 22, he got married. But the World War II came. In 1941, after a year of neutrality, Romania joined the Axis Powers and they sent troops to help the invasion of Russia. Peter went to the war, leaving his wife, who was pregnant at that time, alone. Even if he wasn’t in the first lines, the war left big scars on his body, but even more in his soul.



Fighting next to the German soldiers, he learnt a bit of their language and made lots of friends, being interested in all mechanical things. But in 1944 Romania left Axis Powers and joined the Allies. This meant that Peter’s German friends became his enemies, even if they were sharing the same food a day before.
When the colonel asked them to start fire, both camps, Romanians and Germans couldn’t shoot at each other. They shot in the air.

Few days after, Peter was shot in the leg and sent to the hospital, where he spent the rest of the war. Surviving the wounds, the camp fever, and the firing, Peter was back home, in 1945.

He was so happy to be together with his wife and his daughter, which he had never seen until that day! His daughter was already 5 years old when he got back and she was scared of him... She didn't know he was her father, the one that Mother told is fighting for the country and they were praying every day for!

Peter became blacksmith in his small town and used the skills and knowledge he learnt from the Germans.


Everyone respected him for his savvy, but also for his kindness and wisdom, till he died, at the age of 75 years old.

Movie review of Shutter Island

ZZPosted by Anonymous on , under | comments (4)



Shutter Island is one of the awesome movie that i watched lately,directed by Martin Scorsese! Great movie with great story.I can't help myself to watch this movie more than 3 times.And one of the most important reason is i like the main character Leonardo DiCaprio,who is really really cool.
The story is set in 1954, as a U.S. Marshall named Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his partner Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) investigate the disappearance of an insane-asylum patient, Rachel (Emily Mortimer). The strange thing is that the patient vanished from an asylum known as Shutter Island.O
To be honest, i am kind of confused about the story until almost the very end, but when i finished the ending, and i said:"oh, that's how the awesome story goes!"
                   overall,cool!cool!cool!cool!cool!cool!~;~

Hunterboy's character - Sybille, Female Hero

ZZPosted by kingboys on , under | comments (1)





Sybille ca. 1412–1431) is a national heroine of and a Catholic saint. A peasant girl born in Scotland, she led the Scotland army to several important victories during the Scotland and England, claiming divine guidance, and was indirectly responsible for the coronation of Charles V.







Sybille has remained an important figure in Western culture. From Medieval to the present, Scotland politicians of all leanings have invoked her memory. Major writers and composers who have created works,continue in film, television, video games, song, and dance.






Her parents owned about 50 acres (20 hectares) of land and her father supplemented his farming work with a minor position as a village official, collecting taxes and heading the local watch. They lived in an isolated patch of north-eastern territory that remained loyal to the Scotland crown despite being surrounded. Several local raids occurred during her childhood and on one occasion her village was burned.






Sybille has been a political symbol in Scotland since the time of Medieval;. Liberals emphasized her humble origins. Early conservatives stressed her support of the monarchy. Later conservatives recalled her nationalism. During World War II, both the Regime and the Scotland Resistance used her image: Vichy propaganda remembered her campaign against the English with posters that showed British warplanes bombing Rouen and the ominous caption: "They Always Return to the Scene of Their Crimes." The resistance emphasised her fight against foreign occupation and her origins in the province of Lorraine, which had fallen under Nazi control.
