Underworld (Rise of The Lycans)

I have seen this English speak film without subtitle. It’s in order to improve my English and to gain my TOEFL score. It’s seemed to me that it can be more work if I retell this story in this blog. So I tried to do that. Please let me know if my English is poor (I believe it is so) and tell how to fix it!

It’s like a romance of the evil kind. The background of this fictive story was the hostility between two empire race, vampire and lycans race. Lycan is looks like werewolf, human with a half wolf. The humans’ race was not taking an important role in this story. Together with lycans who were arrested in vampire castle, humans were being slaves if they didn’t pay the tributes. Sometimes arrested-human have to be defenselessly if in the fool moon. Vampires gave the life human body to be eaten by the lycans who is going to be a big wolf. That’s a vampire’s entertainment and that’s were the situations on the vampires castle.

At one moment in vampire’s jail-castle, there is a lycan-newborn baby, whose mother was killed by vampire’s king, Viktor, and then he gave the baby named with Lucian. Lucian came from a loyal lycans family. Viktor let him live, more over he teaches Lucian a martial arts and weapons, when he grew-up he became a good fighter and blacksmith. Although in this circumstance, Lucian still lives near a jail and was behaved like a slave. His main job was to make weapons and watch over the castle from the Lycans attack. Sometime he has to kill some. How horrible feeling when he must to kill his own kind.

By the way, he has a forbidden love. He and Viktor’s daughter, Sonya, was in love. This love feeling brought them to a hard situation and forces him to escape from the jail. Together with other prisoners, humans and lycans, he ran out from the castle. This escapee was helped by the princess. In the outside, he beat to arms, piece together, humans and all of lycans, against the vampires. In this end of story, Lycans could defeat the empire of vampires, but Lucian has to realize that his lover has been executed because of her helped.
