This movie is about love affairs between two couples. All the men and women in this movie have different personalities and attitude toward love. Besides the excellent plot, I regard the performers in this move are fascinating, too. The actors are Jude Law, Clive Owen and the actresses are Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman.
Beginning with Daniel and Alice occasionally meet each other on a street and then they fall in love. However after two years, the man has an extramarital relation with the other woman called Anna. By a trick Daniel made, Anna happens to meet her boyfriend called Larry. This complicated plot intrigues me a lot because this is definitely a bloody truth which is still happening in nowadays society.
My viewpoints will start from analyzing these people’s thoughts respectively. Daniel represents a man with a childish heart. He is tricky, romantic but without rationality. He has a long-dated girlfriend and he knows that he loves her so much. However, he still wants to capture Anna’s heart. This man is a typical bastard who does not care about other’s feeling but only wants to control all the circumstances. By the way, this role is performed by Jude Law which is somewhat matched to his real life. Because I read about his scandals that he just made lots of women pregnant.
Daniel’s girlfriend is called Alice. Actually, Alice is a stripper from the other country and her original name is Jane. I was confused why she deceived Daniel in the beginning. Then I realize that, after she found out herself in love with Daniel, she was not the original “Jane”. She is totally devoted herself when falling in love. This heroine is my favorite one in this movie, because she knows what she wants and concentrates on what she loves.
The other woman who Dan is in love with is called Anna. Anna is typical woman who does not know what she exactly wants. She follows her intuition and easily captivated. She hurt other people’s heart in an unconscious way. Most people will probably say Anna is so stupid because she does not know how to refuse others and also irresolute and hesitant all the time.
Anna’s boyfriend is called Larry who is so intelligence, crafty and knows human beings’ weakness. This man has a strong heart of vengeance. But some of his vengeance appears because he is deeply heart by someone else. Larry is hurt by Anna when Anna chooses Dan. Larry tries every possible means wanting Anna back to his side. One of those means includes perverted one. This pervert mean successfully ruins the relationship between Anna and Dan. At the end, he finally wins Anna back but the sarcastic fact is that he does not win Anna’s heart back. Is this kind of love affair is what he really wants? Or it is just what he wants to claim that he is the winner after all. This kind of man loves war, women and sex whom we can totally call them a bastard, too.
This movie successful creates four different kinds of people, not fictionally, but factually. This is why after I finished watching this movie; I would rather call Closer a scary movie. This movie throws a stunning bomb in my heart which I can not recover my pain injured deeply in my soul.

The Reflection after Watching the Movie “The Reader”
I was interested in this movie before watching because it won lots of awards around the world. The heroine in this movie is Kate Winslet who is a well-known actress of her exquisite performance. She also won the best actress award in the Oscar Academy Awards. After finish watching this movie, I think the honor is definitely based on actual achievements. In this movie, Kate Winslet acts an impressive interpretation of a woman who hides a secret which at the end leads to her miserable afterlife.
She falls in love with a youth but leaves without giving a word. After the youth grows up and become an intelligent lawyer, he finally finds out the secret of this woman whom he was in love with. He at the end understands that why she refuses to read the menu when they go to the restaurant? Why she likes the kid to read a novel every day? Why she leaves without telling him the reason? Why she quits her job and then joins Nazi?
Looked like a confidence woman, the woman has a huge sense of inferiority - because she is an illiterate person. The reason why she quits her job as an office worker and then working as a janitor of Auschwitz Concentration Camp is because that the later job does not need the ability of recognizing words. She was fabricated charged as the main murderer of the camp. Because she is afraid to tell that she is illiterate, she does not make any justification. However, watching things happen, the youth does not tell the truth at all. The woman was sentenced life imprisonment.
She learns how to recognize the words in the jail and thought the youth is still in love with her. After they meet each other, the youth gives an aloof attitude which causes the woman commits suicide.
I cannot understand why the woman would rather spend her life in the prison rather than admitting that she cannot read words. Then I think that to the woman, admitting illiteracy is more shameful, dishonorable and criminal than killing 300 people in Auschwitz. After several years, the boy becomes a talented man; he is not just merely a youth but a “somebody”. But the man is still quite coward to defend the woman’s position. To hide his weakness, he tries to judge the woman by an ethical aspect, so he gives an aloof attitude to her in the prison. The woman in the jail’s only hope disintegrates soon than she chooses another drastic way to finish her life. After she’s dead, the man can finally face himself then tells his daughter this regretful past. This movie gives me an idea which is the woman is dead because she has kept a secret, while the man rebirth because he faces his inconvenient secret.

The reflection after watching the movie "atonement"
I was overwhelmed after watching this movie. First, the director has a great skill of depicting people's inner feelings. The scenery of his movie is gorgeous and warming. Second, the actors perform excellent, too. Especially the little girl in that movie, with her excellent acting, I was immersed into the plot soon and hardly extracted after the movie ends.
Briony is good at writing a play. She devoted herself into portraying by her profuse imagination. Unfortunately, she fell in love with a guy who her sister also in love with. After seeing them making out in a study, Briony uses every possible means to incriminate to the guy by rigging events. After she successfully revenge, all the circumstances lead to both her sister and the boy a miserable afterlife.
This movie is absolutely a tragedy. As the love affair which all the teens concern about, one little mistake which becomes an irredeemable result. After Briony's seventies, she becomes a successful writer. She published her last book which is talked about this story. Because of her coward personality, she can only tell the truth to be forgiven by her own self when she becomes old. However, spilt water cannot be gathered up, she will live with a guilty heart forever.

Reflection after watching Bridget Jone's Diary
First of all, I will show some sentences which are useful or interesting to me while watching this movie.
1. I do not meet a blind day, particularly not with some verbally unconsciousness spinster and dressed like a mother.
2. I suddenly realized that unless something changed soon, I was going to live a life of that my major relationship was with a bottle of wine.
3. It is truth universally acknowledge that the moment one area of your life starts going O.K., another part falls spectacularly to pieces.
4. I’ve realized that I’ve become deeply committed to communicate into public, these up to the moment on in-depth news both political and bionomical.
5. Nothing can distract me from my dedication to the procedural truth.
6. He is clearly the most dreadful cold fish.
And then here are my reflection and summarization about this movie:
I think this movie is a modern version of Pride and Prejudice. This movie is about a cordial, wholehearted and devoted woman whose name is Bridget Jones. She was mocked by a man when they met a blind day. However, the man’s sarcastic ridicule led to her determination to be a wonderful woman. She first dated with her boss and then dumped by the guy soon. Finally, she found her true love.
I was impressed by Rennes Zellwagar’s acting in this movie. She performed a sincere but dull woman greatly. By her passionate personality and optimistic thoughts, I was totally motivated. I discovered some useful traits of her personality, which are patience, enthusiastic and devoutness. I think these are required to survive in nowadays society.

Ways to improve Chung Hsing University
We were discussing what kind of plans can make our university better. Since I am a junior student, I think there are so many parts need to be improved. I have come up with some ideas which the school can concern about. Also, I give some personal opinions to improve the university.
First, I will give each student a brochure which is highly versatile. The brochure contains all the information which freshman may be confused when they first enter Chung Hsing University.
My plan to improve the university includes six parts:
1. University grounds
More and more people ride bike to attend to the class. However, the road is too rugged and not wide enough. It may cause something dangerous happen. So the school should fix the road and give a complete plan to consolidate riders’ advantages. Also, the plan should contain the rules for the people who ride a bike.
Second, they should plan a roadway which can only go by bicycles. While we walk in this campus, we can hardly run into a person who rides a bike. Therefore, it is necessary for school to do such scheme. The university in other countries has a complete rule. They have a sign for riders, they teach riders to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, and stipulate them to display proper illumination. We should have these kinds of laws, too.
2. University facilities
There are only about three or four restaurants in this university. However, we have about only one hour to take a break and eat our lunch. Our school is not near a popular night market as Fung Chia University. When it is lunch time, we have to wait about ten to twenty minutes waiting in a long line. Unless you go to a convenience store but it is not healthy at all. You may have a stomachache problem persisting for a long time. School does not need to build their own restaurant if they don’t want to spend extra money. They can attract some vendors or set some vending machine. For example, in Taiwan University, they have got a bakery, convenience stores, a café, and all kinds of restaurants. Also, School can put some pavilions and seats around the restaurant for students to relax, have their meal, or discuss their homework.
It is good for school to have a gym, but it is not a good policy for school to charge for admission. Exercising is certainly required in our daily life. Why students go to get some exercises need to pay addition fee?
Third, library should not allow the people who are not the students in NCHU. During the exams period, we cannot see any empty places for us to study. The students who studies in the university cannot use their library is ridiculous. And some children are yelling, chatting, eating or even stealing in the library. Those will decrease our learning efficiency.Also, there doesn’t have enough parking lots. Many scooters are parked at a wrong space which contributes to an inconvenience for some people and some cars. I suggest school should use some utilizable spaces in a more effective way.
3. Student life
Since most of the students are new in this city, the school should introduce them useful information. Otherwise, students might waste their time. It is a good way to teach them about time arrangement. I regard one of the most important things in the university to learn is how to arrange your own time. School can give some suggestions on the brochure. Because every student in Taiwan does not know what they really want in the university. That will lose their purpose for learning. For example they can give some advises about how many times they should spend doing their homework, hanging out with their friends, doing a part time job, or starting their experiments…etc. School can give those advises on the brochure for students to allot their time correctly instead of wasting time.
School can also introduce some useful resources on the brochure. The purpose to attend to the university is to train our self learning ability. That means we can use some materials and resources in this campus which helps us to learn anything.
4. Quality of teaching
Minimize the students as possible as they can in one class. Teachers and students should have a one on one conference. Absence is definitely not allowed. Teacher should not only lecturer in the class. They should train students to discuss with some topics or to collaborate with each other. And it is also important to train the students to speak in public.
The universities in Taiwan, most of the students do not ask questions because they don’t feel they participate in the class. Teachers should tell them how to think critically. That is, to have their own thoughts and opinions.
5. Life on campus
Many people lost their purse while they are exercising. And some of them lost their car in parking lots. When some people parking cars, they lost their bags in their scooters when they just leaving for a while. According to statistics, people whose purse are stolen happens everyday in the campus. Apparently we can see that the security around this campus is terrible. We should set more security guards around the campus. Then we should have a street light at every corner. If school has enough money, they should get some monitors.
Second, there are too many traffic accidents in the front door because of several intersections. So the traffic problems should be concerned and arranged carefully. School can think a proper way to rearrange the traffic route. They can set up signals or have some police officers in front of the school.
6. Graduate and post-graduate research
We can encourage seniors to share their experiences about how they apply graduate school and some experiences when they search for jobs. School can hold an informal discussion meeting regularly. Thus, seniors can have more interaction with juniors. It helps juniors to get some knowledge while they don’t know what exactly they want.
