Well, another week is over without giving much at least to me. This week another series of movies and my topic of cover was the former country of Yugoslavia, the tinder box of the world. So here we go:
1. Underground (1995)
This movie is one of the very few movies that exposes the realm of ideologies. Based on the story of two communist friends in Belgrade and their adventures from 1941 to 1992. It shows the immense dark side of a man. Some times you will feel bore but have some patience to watch this movies. Quoting from the movie "No text, my darling has any truth in it. The truth exists only in reality". So better watch this movie. 7 out of 10 points.
2. Lepa Sela Lepo Gore aka Pretty Village Pretty Plame (1996)
This movie tells a story about the Bosnian conflict between Serbs, Croats and Muslims. Its a story of two friends (a Muslim and a Serb) as well as the story of Bosnia and Serbia. Must watch movie atleast for an Indian. 8 out of 10 points.
3. All the President's Men (1976)
I am a big fan of this movie. Based on the true story of two journalist from Washington Post and their investigation of "Water Gate Scandal". President Nixon had to resign. Woodstein rules. 9 out of 10 points.
4. Gallipoli (1981)
Its based on the famous battle of Gallipoli in 1915, English against the Turks. This battle is the main reason behind the rise of the Australian and New Zealand Nationalism. They call it the legend of ANZACS (Australia New Zealand Armed Corps). A true nationalist feeling can only be experienced when you see the dead bodies of your soldiers fighting your enemies. Australia and New Zealand experienced the same in 1915. They laid their lives when Britishers were drinking tea at the sea shores. 8 out of 10 points.
My hero played his last inning and unfortunately he scored a 'zero' :). Thank you Ganguly for providing me those glorious times and some how its hard to believe that my hero worship is going to an end :(.
