Well just went to national market the other day to buy some dvds of war movies which im really amused about these days.. In fact i have taken this up as an hobby to collect war movies and i dunno why... not because i enjoy it... well i enjoy it in a very emotional way... i enjoy it in such a way that along with the element of recreation a feeling and a thought process about the life of the people of those countries rips through my mind.....
Well two movies that is Hotel Rwanda and amistad were screened in the college as a part of international relations topics.... and how can i possibly ever be serious in college esp. with the lecturer not amidst us.... ;) we were all into mocking, and laughing business out there in the coll A.V room.... so never watched it seriously but i had somehow grabbed the idea behind the movie. and that too may be because we had to submit the summary which accounted 10 marks of our internals....
But later i felt like watching the movie when im alone and not with friends... So went bought them and dint want to watch them with my parents around because my dad doesnt like me talking about these issues...
So went to my bes friend's house whose parents were outta station.. so we first watched hotel rwanda... man so damn touchy the movie was... It was all about the civil war in Rwanda and how this guy saves the minority caste which was getting fucked by the major... Both of us were surprised for two reasons .. no.1 because we dint fall asleep and no.2 we were touched and could feel the heaviness of our hearts... Both of us never get or rather have neva got that senti about anythin.. Painful story man... and we were reeli charged up to watch more of these sorta movies...
Then we switched to Blood diamond... well hats off to caprio man... wat an actin.. pheww great role... And the story.. whoa!!!!! wat a story... tears literally came to my eyes... and then had to tell them that im a guy and not supposed to cry... ;) and myself an aru were so much soaked into this whole african shit abt their problem their life that we neva felt lik sleeping... then after that we decided to watch one more and that was Pearl harbour.. and i should say that the director should'nt have included the love story in it.. in way it was good... ;) and finally we look at the clock and it was 8 15 am....
Had to get to our regular activities but still kept on thinking about the same the whole day...
and cursed the indolency of the west and the other countries who ruthlessly exploit the Africans...
And also felt how lucky we are... esp being an urbanite makes life all the more where terminologies like freedom and liberty is a cliche for us....
I feel so desperate to go an visit those countries and check if they have exaggerated in the movies about the whole issue...
