Ice Princess

Cast: Joan Cusack, Kim Cattral, Michelle Trachtenberg, Heyden Penettiere

Ice Princess is a story about a 17 year-old physics geek, Casey Carlyle, who wanted to do a summer science project related to the connections of physics in Ice skating in order for her to gain a scholarship to Harvard. At first, she observed other skaters at her local ice skating rink but then she decided to try experiment her founding by improving her ice skating skills which made here realized about her passion for ice skating. This had led her change from a physics geek to an ice skater. With the help from Tina and her daughter, Gen, Casey managed to capture the spectators and the juries’ eyes in the sectional.  Although her mother, Joan, disagree with her decision for embracing this sport, her mother finally accept her choice and gave full support during her performance.

Ice Princess is a very good movie to watch especially for teenagers because of the messages and values that can be seen from this movie. It teaches us that if we have a dream, go for it. We can clearly see it from Casey. Casey, a physics geek, have a dream of becoming a professional ice skater and even though her mother was really against her idea, she still keep on trying to fulfil her dream. And yes, she finally fulfil it. From here, I learned that nobody can’t stop our dream except our own self. If we want to achieve our dream, we have to go for it. Do what we can do to achieve it. Make sacrifice because we can’t achieve something without sacrifice something. Although her relationship with her mother was kind of bad because of her decision, her mother finally approves it and here is another lesson that I think most parents and us should take note: Let their child do what they want and don’t force them to fulfil your unfulfilled dreams!

Overall, this movie is a very good and inspirational for all of us to watch and I would recommend anyone to watch this movie so that it will inspire them to do not stop following and fulfilling your dreams.

4/5 Stars!!

Up!

Up! Is a story about an old man, Carl Fredricksen, who set on a journey to Paradise Fall in order to fulfil his promise that he had made with his dead wife. He tied thousands of balloons to lift his house and off he went! But he didn’t realize that there was passenger with him. The unexpected passenger was a young scout boy name Russell and together they both embark a journey that change their life

The movie Up! is a very heart-warming movie.   We can clearly see it during the first part of the movie where it shows Carl and his wife’s (Ellie) relationship from when they are young till the end of Ellie’s life. I have to admit when I watched the first part of the movie, tears started to fill my eyes. It is sad and sweet, especially when Carl decided to keep that promise and making their life-long dream comes true. This story also tells us about the value of love. Love towards the elderly. Towards the young, the animals and the nature. The interaction between Carl and Russell is also important. We can see how Carl character develop. From cranky old man to a caring old man and Russell finally have someone, an adult, and a father figure to care for him. Not only that, this story also teaches us to value the nature. We have to protect the nature surrounding us. We can’t let them being endangered by greedy people like Charles F. Muntz, who in the movie acts as a villain and try to capture an almost-extinct bird.

Overall, this movie teaches us a lot of value and most of them are love. This movie is very good for all of us to watch it, especially children and the adults. Take the lesson to your heart because this movie will definitely make you realize about the people around you and also make you value them until the end.

4/5 stars~!!
