Thats another very touching one showing the lives of ppl in Nazi concentration camps.. I havent seen any of those which u mentioned..

'Motor cycle diaries' is such<BR/>a movie which uses cinema as the medium to communicate<BR/>common people issues. That is a visualization of<BR/>book on the same title. The one idea author tries to <BR/>justify is that true revolutionary-war-man killing <BR/>is guided by a great feeling of love. This may seem<BR/>ridiculous to majority of people especially to<BR/>people in rich countries. Some people say it <BR/>is a paradox/contradiction. Just watch the movie<BR/>with the heart of a common third-world-country-citizen<BR/>,you might be getting solution for this ambiguity.<BR/>You might even feel that at some point of time<BR/>you had also gone through the mental states of<BR/>the main character...but never had the will power to<BR/>give up a glittering profession to take up guns as<BR/>he does. The story is based upon autobiographical-work of<BR/>Che.<BR/>Hmm..So they are closely in connection to real life. Don’t forget to do a proper<BR/>check before you marry ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21242515.post-29499009947641604642007-02-28T16:03:00.000+05:302007-02-28T16:03:00.000+05:30i remember looking at u after the movie. shocked,s...i remember looking at u after the movie. shocked,speaking a million words of how disturbing those scenes were...but all in silence.it was a hard deal. later resting in the cane chairs outside i sipped my coffee in silence. i didnt even realise when my cig finished. it was a creepy feeling and now i get it again.its creepy stuff...coz its real, its happened. cant even pacify ourself "its just a movie !" . it is NOT.its a documentary of what had happened. the evil side of humanity,the pity of war n its helplesness, the illusions of super powers. <BR/><BR/>now i really wish to erase a few of those movies from my memory. <BR/><BR/>maneeshaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
