Movie Night

Let’s talk about a funny movie.

Last Sunday, we watched a funny movie in auditorium.  At first, I thought that this movie is a film for lowbrows, but it was unpredictable because it became gradually fascinating.  As it turned out, the main character was Eddie Murphy. He is a very famous actor.  We will briefly explain the movie.


In an African kingdom, there is a King named Jaffe Joffer and his son, Prince Akeem.  When the prince became twenty one, he meets the woman who his parents decided he will marry, but he is very disappointed that she doesn't have even one of her own opinions because she was trained as a queen. He leaves to America with his chamberlain Semmi to find his mate.  In New York, he chooses a lower-class life to find a woman who loves him for who he is.  He meets Lisa who has her own viewpoints.  Akeem has a good feeling about her, so he takes a job at the hamburger store which Lisa's father owns and he starts to plan a strategy. Although she likes him, she rejected his proposal when she knew that he was a rich prince. Finally they got married.


This film's genre is comedy, and everyone can enjoy it easily. Prince Akeem looks for a modern woman to marry because he doesn't want an obedient woman.  I was very impressed by him because many Korean men want a conservative woman to marry. I like his open mind. This story is based on liberties. Akeem just wants a bride who is clever and independent. He hides his position so that the woman loves him without any bias. He works at a fast-food restaurant because he found out the woman’s father owns it. In spite of being a prince, he can take care of himself.  There is no paternalism in the movie.  I strongly recommend it for people who are looking for an interesting movie.
