Review-Taken(2008)

 Taken is about a man’s paternal affection to his dauther. His dauther is kidnapped to in Paris and he go to save her so, the background of the movie is Paris. I saw this movie with my sister and we really enjoyed the movie. I thought that It is kind of action or thriller movie that I can enjoy without deep thinking. Before I saw this movie I just knew that some people was kidnapped in Europe somewhere and I was not interested in this problem. However, it shows me how serious kidnapping in Europe. Also, It let me know my father loves me a lot. 

The most influential Korean figure in history

 President    Jung Hee Park(1917.11.14~1979.10.26)

He was an ex-President of South Korea for 18 years since 1963. He was born on November 14, 1917 in Sun-San, Gyeongsangbuk-do as the lastborn of the family.  Also, he was born of a poor family instead of well-matched rich family for a president. After he graduated a college of edudation, he was an elementary shcool teacher for 3 years. Then, he went over to Japan to study at Japan military academy in 1944 and became a soldier. In that time, Korea was falling under Japanese imperialism. After independence of Korea, he came back to Korea and became a Korean military officer. He has consecutively filled various and high-rangking military posts about 15 years. He and his political fellows brought a political change in Korea military setup in May 16, 1961. Finally, He became a president in 1963. With the fact that he was a president for 18 years, we can see that he was a dictator. Therefore, all of Korean was under his conservative dictatorship. All of man couldn’t let thier hair grow long and all of women couldn’t wear short skirt with over knee high. Many of them resisted against unlawful oppression but, it was really hard to act in that situation. That’s why they wanted that Korea became a democratic country. From this point of view, President Park was a vicious dictator in Korean history.

However, I don’t think that he was bad in all points. When he was a president, Korea was an underdeveloped country. Many people were poor and most industries were not developed. The President Park organized Saemaeul Movement which was a community development all over the country. It was sucessful and help the country to be modernized. Also, his program for economic development helped emerge from poverty of Korea. Nevertheless, he was killed by an assassin in October 26, 1979. Though he was a dictator, we can see he was great commander. Some old people still think that he was the great president in korean history. Also, they say that we need a president as strong as him because of recent bad economic conditon. His daughter, Geun Hey Park, is also influential figure in politics. She has many political fans because of her good image from her father. Considering this fact, I could see that President Park is still influential person in Korea.   

My vacation in China

I went China, Shanghai  with my sister last year. We could eat famous traditional Chenese food. It was really great. Also, we went the bigest zoo in China by bus. The night of China was really beautiful. We spent a lot of money in this good mood. We bought lots of traditional things on the street and It cost $300. T.T

 

Something that makes me happy. :)

I have a digital camera that my father gave me two years ago as a present. Since I got this camera, I was with this camera all the time and took a lot of pictures. That’s why I have lots of pictures in my computer and my blog. The pictures are a treasure for me because, that is my history. It makes me to remember the day I was happy with my friend. I will print all of my pictures and put it in my album someday.
