Must-Watch Great Movie - Captain Phillips Review

Few weeks ago, Uncle Paul recommend me a movie called Captain Phillips, he said that it is so great, and it is one of the best movies he have ever watched. So I downloaded and watched it few days ago.


It is a great movie, I really like this kind of movie. If you want me to rate this movie from 1 to 10 star(s), I will give it 9.5. By the way, it has 8.1 stars on IMDb, which is very good. I would really recommend you to watch this movie, it is on iTunes now, or you can also buy or rate the Blue-Ray disk. Here is some of my feelings after watching the movie, it includes some important elements of story, so don't read it if you haven't watch it! Also, here is the trailer of the movie:

The trailer on YouTube:


The official website:


I still can't believe that this is a real story, not only Captain Philips is very smart and  wise, but the US Navy and other military people are awesome, they have really good skill.

Most of the people may think that those African people are bad, and they should not have done this, but I have a different thinking. Although being a pirate is bad and not right, but they don't really have other choice to choose from, I remember there was a moment that Philips said "everybody have boss". Those pirates of course have boss, too! I believe that if they have choice, they will defiantly do other jobs besides being a pirate, but unfortunately, if they don't be a pirate, they will have no money to live. One of the four pirates was only 16 or 17 years old, it is a age to learn, to attend school, but he can't. And one of the pirates said that he successfully got 10 millions from America government last time, but he was still being a pirate, because those money won't goes into his hand, but his boss's hand. They also want to have better life! Who will want to do this dangerous job if they can live in a house, have a car, and have money to get enough food? One of the pirate said "after this, I will go to New York, and buy a car." I really feel sad to those pirates, being a pirate is not the best solution to solve the problem, if their government can change, if their "boss" can change, all people can have a better life!

These are just my thoughts, but anyway, it's still a great, must-watch movie! Make sure to check it out!

Visiting the elevator where Barb works

Wow. It has been few weeks that I did not post. There was nothing special that worth to post these day, but today, after the home visiting with my local representative, Heidi, Barb took JJ and me to the places she works. The company that Barb works is called "South Dakota Wheat Growers", it has many locations, Barb works at the one in Roscoe. Roscoe is a town that is 15 miles west from Ipswich, it has only 300 people. The view was very beautiful on the drive to Roscoe, I even saw lots of birds flying home!


Barb and me were on the top of the elevator.

From Taipei to Aberdeen

(The content of this post happened on 16-17 Aug, 2013 CDT)

I stayed in America for almost two months, but I had never written a blog before, so I am going to review some cool and important things that happened in past two months.

To be an exchange student, there are bunch of paper works to do. Such as visa application and many agreements. But after that, but the most important thing is to take the plane. From leaving Taiwan, transfer the plane, to entering the USA everything have to done by yourself, and if anything happened, asking people that speak unfamiliar language is the only way to help. So it's such a big challenge that I have to overcome.
