Kermit

Kermit, the son of a president, namely Teddy Rosevelt, shot himself dead, he committed suicide in Alaska. 

I read before about Teddy going to Brazil to complete that journey in the Amazon forest and how he was injured, he almost died.  I had not known that his son Kermit went with him.  Interesting it should have been seeing his father in that condition and almost dead.  

Teddy’s children had cool names, Kermit, Quentin, Archibald

The Movie 'Grey Wolf'

The Movie 'Grey Wolf' 

Here is a partial review of the movie 'The Grey'.  

First of all, I thought this was a very well made, good, entertaining movie. 

The movie is about a plane crashing into an isolated area in northern Alaska, where wolfs occupy; and the 'oil field workers' who survive the plane crash, will 'now' need to stay alive. 


The poem shown in the movie, and recited by the actor Liam Neeson, caught my attention.  And I would like to focus on this poem for my review of the movie. 

At the ending of the movie, Mr Neeson is confronted by a 'Grey' Alpha Male Wolf and he will need to battle this animal to live.  This is when he recites the poem.  


I have written the poem below.  

Once more into the fray. 
Into the last good fight I'll ever know. 
Live and die on this day. 
Live and die on this day. 

The poem is written by director, Joe Carnahan

I will make a 'General' meaning of what I believe the poem means to the actor of the movie, and even to 'us' viewers.  

The message is very clear.

I believe that the poem means that everyday we must give it our all, give our absolute best effort at whatever challenge comes ahead of us; to survive and prosper in today's world. 

Basically, that is the meaning.  

Have you watched this movie yet? If not, make time to watch this 'emotional' movie, you will be glad you did. 

Thank-you.
