Movies this week

Another quite interesting and eventful week has passed and i yet again saw many movies and documentaries. As always the reviews are as follows:
1. The Bourne series (Identity, Supremacy and Ultimatum)
This series is quite an amazing action packed series. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire series. I have become quite a fan of Matt Damon after seeing this series. The tricks by which he deceives the CIA are quite thrilling. 7 points out of 10.

2. A documentary based on the First World War
This documentary is based on the works of Hew Strachan. It consists of 10 episodes and each episode seems to be factually correct to me. Its really shame that people remember the genocide of Jews by Germany while they blatantly condone the genocide of Armenians (roughly around a million) by the Ottomon empire and expulsion of Serbs from their own country Serbia by Austro-Hungarian forces supported by clever Bulgaria. It also describes in one episode how Indian soldiers defended Suez Canal against the attacks of Ottomon forces and eventually protected the entire British Indian from the German-Turkey conspiracy to overthrow the British India (I quite fancy about it). 9 points out of 10.

3. La battaglia di Algeri aka Battle of Algiers (1966)
This movie is based on the Algerian freedom movement against the colonial occupation of France. This movie has a glimpse of Indian freedom movement. Quite an amazing movie to know north Africa. This movie is in French and its black and white. 8 points out of 10.

4. Days of Glory aka Indigenes (2006)
Another movie about Algeria made in French. This movie renders how native Algerians fought for the French cause against the German aggression in 2nd world war and how they were ditched by the French government after the war. This movie draws an interesting parallel between the Indian soldiers and Algerian soldiers fighting for their colonial master. 9 points out of 10.

5.Paradise now (2005)
This movie describes the dark shades of human character in battle torn Palestine. Quite an interesting movie. 2 human bomb and mission Tel Aviv. 6 points out of 10.

6. Dr. Zhivago (1965)
Based on a book of the same name by Boris Pasternak, this movie tells an enthralling story of a freedom loving man caught up in Russian revolution, from the Bloody Sunday of 1905, 1st World war, 1917 revolution and the civil war between Bolsheviks anti-Bolsheviks. I have become a huge fan of Omar Sharif after seeing his acting in many epic movies (Lawrence of Arabia and Night of the Generals). This movie is a must for all the people specially for the people who sympathize with the Communist cause. 10 points out of 10.

Wish you a memorable Diwali. Signing off.
