The Alchemist

Yesterday, I went to listen to a lecture about being the master of our lives. The speaker gave such a wonderful speech that I recall a book I have loved since I was twelve. The book is titled The Alchemist, which was written by Paulo Coelho. He is a Brazilian lyricist land novelist, who is one of my favorite writers.

                             

The Alchemist talks about how a boy find his real talent and true love, and how he change people’s life. I don’t want to talk much about this book. There is just one reason why I don’t want to talk about it; the book is so amazing that I don’t know how to start. To be honest, I think everyone in the world should buy it and at least read it five times, because The Alchemist deserve.

P.S. I Love You

Last weekend, I watched a pretty famous movie called P.S. I love you. I think most people have heard about the touching and lovely movie. When I was a junior high school student, I read the same name book, P.S. I love you. In my memory, it was a miserable story and it made me cry for sadness. So when my roommate asked me if I wanted to watch the movie, I hesitated. But I thought I am five years older, maybe I would have totally different feelings to the movie this time.
                                        

This movie is about a woman called Holly who lost her husband, Gerry, because of a cancer. When Gerry died, Holly lived a bitter life. But that’s just the beginning. Gerry had left ten messages and a lot of amazement for his beloved wife since he knew that he got a cancer. These ten messages are all ending with "P.S. I Love You", which are not for Holly to keep tying to the past but to give her courage and send her on a new adventure. After the ten messages and the adventures, Holly regained her bravery and had the passion to pursue her new life.

Swing Girls

        Recently, I watched a movie called Swing Girls. The movie was made in Japan. The

heroine is played by Ueno Juri, who is one of my favorite actresses because of her innocence. It is a story about a group of girls and a boy, which organized a rock band accidently. Although they were not totally willing to join the band at first, all of them tried their best to play the music in the end. 

I like Japanese movies not only because they are delicate but also because they are inspiring. Through the movie, we can learn a lot of things. For instance, never give up when we are pursuing our dreams,  and, it is never too late to find out our goals in life. Even if you are old, you still can make your dreams come true. Your life is all up to you.
