My favorite movies

I want to recommend two movies that I watched recently. The first movie is “The Shawshank Redemption”. This movie was based on “Rita Heyworth and Shawshank Redemption” that is a book story. Andy, he is the main character of this movie, is a bank clerk and he is convicted of killing his wife and her lover. After he was arrested, he put in Shawshank Prison. He couldn’t be accustomed to there first, but he didn’t forget his hope that he will be free tomorrow.

Red is a prisoner of Shawshank and get along with other prisoner because he has ability to deliver contrabands. He doesn’t have his hope and thinks he will be in this prison all the rest of his life. But after he met Andy, he notices a importance to have hope. Red and
Andy had be a friend each other. One day, they make a promise….

The second movie is “SAW”. This movie is a suspense thriller movie and be shown in 2004. Adam and Gordon; they are main character of this movie, one day get up in the bath room and notice that they are chained to the pipe. And there is a dead body between them. A tape recorder, two cigarettes and two saws are in that bath room and they can use. Why they are in that situation? And can they escape this room??

Sky Tower

There is the tallest tower in southern hemisphere in New Zealand. It is called "Sky Tower" and it is 328m tall. It is made of 2000t reinforcing rods so it can stand up to the wind which velocity reaches 200m. The main lookout point is 186m and we can see Auckland city at 360°. In there, we can try to “Sky Jump”. It is not bungee jumping; we fall from 192m tall and fell 85km speed about 14 seconds. 50\ is 1NZ$ and we need 25NZ$ to enter Sky Tower. 750 thousands people come to Sky Tower every year. There is a stairs of 1029 steps in there and usually we need about 24 minutes to go to main lookout by this stair. In the main lookout, there is a glazed floor and we can walk on that floor!! I’m afraid to do that but I want to try to do someday.
