This movie shows how a small incident by a Japanese affects the life of an American couple who is on a tour in Morrocco and how a Morrocon family gets affect by this. This also portrays how a Mexican living in America is affected by the one action of a Japanese.
I expected the movie to be very confusing but compared to certain commercail movies like Cason Royale I understood the Movie very clearly though there is one element which the director leaves it to the audience at the end of the movie.
Though the movie didnt strike me as certain other movies its an attempt at good cinema lets credit the director for that.
It also shows if we have some good concept we can also try our hands in cinema making.

Life is cheap
Life is beautiful might be the name of a very good movie but in chennai Life is cheap is the sentence more apt. I read in TOI believe it or not column that there was a law in england when automobiles were invented that a man should walk before an automobile with a redflag signaling the approach of such vechile. This is because people would not be aware of something like that and can get hit.
The west always takes more interest in the safety of its citizens. There used to be an advertisement in BBC about why 30. There are many roads in UK where the speed limit is 30. So the advertisement released in public care will show why it has to be 30. There used to be another advertisement which used to show the effect of drunken driving. The impact of the advetisement will not let you drive being drunk. Another one which educates about how careful one should be when joining the main road from a connecting road. Especially about bikes which might be coming at the edge of the road.
If one violates the rules there is only 1 in 100 chance that it will result in accident but they dont want that 1 accident to occur. They ram the rules into your head in such a away you feel thats the way of life. Because of which an unknown life gets saved. Mind it there are still traffic violators in west who make innocent people die. But the thing is their government tries, it tries very hard to save lives.
In our country, I read in TOI on the medan which was decorating chamies road resulted in numerous accidents. No one took measure to remove the accident causing median. Only after the media wrote about it the median has been removed now. But due to the lethargic attitude many lives where lost. They should have removed the median right before the first accident occured but they didnt do it even after many accidents occured. Such a callousness can be found only in our culturally rich chennai.

The Green Mile
I know I have mostly turned this blog into a movie review blog but I cant help it that too after seeing a beautiful movie. Writing this right after watching Green Mile a movie adapted from Stephen Kings novel. I havent read the novel so cant say which was better but I can say this much "The movie was awesome".
I have not been moved so much by a movie in a long time. This movie is the mother of all movies. Excellent cast + excellent plot (though a bit gloomy one) we have an excellent movie in hand.
Frank Darabont director of Shawshannk Redemption another novel by King has exelled again. The movie Dead Man Walking moved me a lot but this one is equivalent to 10 Dead Man Walking.
The cop who acts as the villain in this movie is one of the most despisable movie characters you will come across.
If this movie doesnt move you then there is something seriously wrong, not with the movie but with you.
Dont miss it!
