Pathfinder


The story Pathfinder is about the man who was in war between British and France. The movie is romantic and adventure. Pathfinder is a hero in the story. His characteristic is very unique and outstanding.

From the movie, there are many things that i like. First, Pathfinder is very brave. He never afraid to do a good thing. Even if he might go into trouble, he will try to help other people like when he trys to protect lady. Second, he is scarified. He like to help people. He is willingness to take risk in order to save people life. Another thing is Pathfinder has a skillful. He has a good skill of fighting. He is never lose or give up to enemy. Also, he love freedom. No matter he was upset about love but he still love free and go to the way that he likes.

Moreover, i like the British woman style since she is calm and friendly. she is always smile to everyone and show a good manner. Also, i like the code that Pathfinder used. i think it is a great idea to communicate in danger situation. To doing this, enemy will do not know what he was going to do so, it can be great advantage.

However, this movie is a good movie that help me know the lifestyle of ancient people. it is also show the history that was very interesting. I think this movie is worthwhile to see.
