To kill a mocking bird

This is another movie which recently moved me. Its an old movie starring Gregory Peck. I really admire this guy. Have been his fan since long, well I guess most of the women of my generation are big fans of this guy. I have rarely seen such a combination of sophistication, good acting and dazzling looks.

This story really stirred my soul. Reminded me how sometimes we hate others without any reason at all. It’s the story of a black farm labourer who was falsely accused by a white woman, and even the law took her side…. Knowing all the while that she was lying.

We all have done it, but its better to get rid of this feeling of hating fellow human beings as soon as possible, unless they have performed something really heinous, and are caught red handed doing so..

We should try not to occupy the judge’s throne unless its must.

Rang de basanti

I am not much of a hindi movie viewer. I very humbly admit it. for two reasons mainly, number one mushy love stories in various packages bore me to death and second reason is boring story lines, bad acting, direction and editing acts as sleeping pill for me.

Since time immemorial all my indian, hindi speaking friends have been bugging me to watch this movie, I ignored them. then the only critic I believe told me to watch it (must) and I did.

I have rarely seen such a powerful movie by an Indian. I have always liked Amir Khan’s new avatar since lagaan and have loved his taare zameen pe. There are some bolly actors I sometimes watch he, ajay devgan and rahul bose are top among them.

This movie was really something. It reminded me (very strongly) of all the sacrifices made by the freedom fighters for us, which we are reaping now

And it subtly told me another thing.. just saying that the world is corrupted doesnot works.. get up and pick up the broom.

The direction of this movie was fabulous so were all the actors..
