Which non-Indian film did you watch recently

Flags of our fathers - Very Good. The war scenes were on par or even better than Saving Private Ryan. The story follows the life of 6 marines( 3 actually as the other 3 died fighting in japan) who the american public mistake it for the marines who hoisted the flag on Iwo Jima. But the truth is that these marines replaced the original flag. The picture makes them as overnight heroes and they are drafted towards the bond drive which is needed for the american's war effort.

The struggles faced by the marines who are disturbed by their conscience that they are indeed just normal marines and not heroes as said in the press are brought out well. The post war life of these marines is mixed as some lead happy and some lead not so good lives. Clint Eastwood deserves appreciation for making such films and one can understand why the movie didn't do as expected in the states.

The Life of David Gale.

I started watching this film knowing for two reasons.
The first being that this was the one of the inspiration for one of this decade's best tamil movie known as the Virumaandi and the second it has Kevin Spacey and Kate Winslet both of whom are very fine actors. And also spacey's colleague acting in this movie was very good which was a bonus.

The film was fantastic for the most part. The acting was excellent. This is done by a director or a writer who i believe has some serious hatred towards capital punishment. The thrill factor was always there and it maintained very good suspense although i did guess the final twist myself. The plot was very much believable and these things could happen.

Finally Thanks to Kamal Haasan for taking this idea onto Tamil without which i wouldn't have had a thought to watch the film. And as far as scenes between TLODG and Virumaandi are concerned there are absolutely no similarities. In fact in this film Winslet takes the interview in a span of 3 consecutive days for two hours.

Feddy,

I think Leo realizes that he had to contend himself with his job, big house, children, and state of living in suburbia. But Kate winslet's character couldn't be the proverbial housewife doing routine chores.

Ok but what strike me out even when she proposes that idea was "why would any husband who is rich, working and could probably go places will leave and settle in a foreign country making his wife work" and so this guy can read books.

Sounds ridiculous :huh:.

Yeah, but he does feel aggrieved in the job initially, and had also kept promising her that they would leave. Her mind had completely taken to that idea (with him implanting and reassuring it), to a point where she could never go back. Even if he had finally realized it wouldn't be wise..
