I've watched different holocaust movies, but film was bit different and i don't know why, it touched my heart.
Masterfully directed, acted and shot, this is Hungarian cinema at its absolute finest.
Set in 1944, as Hitler's Final Solution becomes policy throughout Europe, "Fateless" is the semi-autobiographical tale of a 14 year-old Jewish boy from Budapest, who finds himself swept up by cataclysmic events beyond his comprehension. A perfectly normal metropolitan teen who has never felt particularly connected to his religion, he is suddenly separated from his family as part of the rushed and random deportation of his city's large Jewish population. Brought to a concentration camp, his existence becomes a surreal adventure in adversity and adaptation, and he is never quite sure if he is the victim of his captors, or of an absurd destiny that metes out salvation and suffering arbitrarily. When he returns home after the liberation, he misses the sense of community experienced in the camps.
Braveheart is the partly historical, partly mythological, story of William Wallace, a Scottish common man who fights for his country's freedom from English rule around the end of the 13th century.
The directorial debut of Mel Gibson and what a movie was that!!! I've become the fan of this superb director just after knowing that Mel Gibson is the director of the movie. And in his all three movies (Apocalipto, Passion of the Christ & Brave heart) you can see the style of this extraordinarily talented person. It's always a breath holding experience to watch his special 'slow motion' scenes. As it's a normal thing in his movies, the violence and blood dripping scenes are not for the soft people. While the violence is raw, so are the emotions. There's a lot to love about the movie as it creates a feel in you. His portrayal of William Wallace, one of Scotland's most mightiest warriors, was just great, even it's been told that the movie has got some historical errors in it. But it's really not a matter considering the way that the movie is told.
After watching the movie i was so stunned like the other audience. Mel Gibson shows once again that he's skilled at depicting violence. It was really an emotional experience to go through the final hours of Jesus Christ. Regardless of how you feel about the movie's message, you're certain to leave the movie feeling something about the movie itself. How you react to it depends mostly on what you take in with you.
I don't know how much i can say about this movie. It's a great stuff. I think i can watch this movie for another countless times as i've no idea of the no of times i've gone through this great movie. The film does not have a single boring moment in it. It can be watched again and again with increasing returns to the viewer. And apart from that the music, oh my God!!! It's mind blowing from A R Rahman.
Rang De Basanti tells the story of young english girl, whom on finding her grandfather’s diary decides to make a film on it. A British officer of some of the more tumultuous periods of the Empire, it’s an authentic account of the final days of many of India’s young freedom fighters, and a story on many accounts - she feels should be told. On her arrival in India she stumbles upon a group of five friends; free-spirited and full of verve. Gradually the friends ponder over their roles and the lives of the selfless freedom-fighters, and in the face of a tragedy, realize that they too, like Bhagat Singh and Azad, must take action, to ensure that their now corrupt and poverty-laden country, awakens and the guilty do not go unpunished.
And the way the story is told is really good. After watching the movie you can slowly realize that it created an impact on you.
