Well, this week i say many movies as always and i just finished day's movie no. 4. These are as follows:
1. Michael Collins (1995)
This movie is the biography of great Irish freedom fighter Michael Collins. This guy led the Irishmen to virtually their independence from England. The glorious days of Irish Revolution (1916-1922) started with Easter Rising in 1916 (from the Martyrdom of great James Connolly) and culminated into the free Ireland state in 1922. Michael Collins suffered a lot from the then President of Irish party Eamon de Valera. Valera betrayed Michael Collins and instigate the civil war against the Collin's treaty with England. This ultimate results in the assassination of Michael Collins. Ireland and India share a lot in terms of history. Both were mutilated by Britishers before giving independence (Northern Ireland and Pakistan), both fathers of the nation Michael Collins and Bapu were assassinated by their own people and both the flags i.e. Irish and Indian contain the same colors (Green , Saffron and White). The role of Collins is played by Liam Neesaon (the same guy has played the famous role of Oscar schindler in Schindler's list). I like this movie as well as the other one "The wind that shakes the barley" on Irish war theme equally. 9 points out of 10.
2. Dance with wolves (1990)
A great movie depicting almost a true picture of native Indians of North America. The film contains beautiful scenes. Kevin Costner and Mary Mcdonnel (she is also playing President Roslin in Battle Star Galactica ;) have done a tremendous job. Its a story of the clash between the so called civilised society (the whites) and so called barbaric society (the Indians). A must watch in any case. This film has won 7 Oscars. 9 points out of 10.
3. The Charge of the light Brigade (1968)
Its actually an anti-war movie and it describes the pitiful condition of the officers serving under the arrogant and shirking Generals. Well this movie contains a lot of abuses for Indians like us. It covers the Crimean war fought in Balkan against the Russians aggression in Balkan region. 7 points out of 10.
4. Arn Templeriddaren (2007)
Its the most expensive Scanvandian movie ever made. Its a story about a Swedish noble who was accused of a forbidden love and was forced to serve as a Knight Templar in the Holy Land during the era of the Crusade (12th century). Indian model cum actor Milind Soman is playing Sallahaddin in this movie. This movie is quite inferior of the Orlando Bloom's Kingdom of heaven. 6 points out of 10.
5. To end all wars (2001)
Its a story of the allied POWs captured by Japan after the fall of Singapore in 1942. These prisoners were forced to build the railway track in Thailand so that Japan could attack India. To be honest this movie is no way comparable to "The bridge on river Kwai". 5 points out of 10.
6. Dasvidaniya (2008)
I was expecting a better show from Rajat kapoor and Vinay Pathak. This movie is a let down. Its a hotchpotch of comedy and tragedy. No idea where to laugh and where to frack. 4 points out of 10.
Well guys, i have to leave as i have a book to read. Dasvidaniya ;)
