Flock

Flock was supposed to be amateurish..Or so I thought...For the unitiated, Flock is actually a fledgling browser off the mozilla foundation...

How to brighten a Friday evening!!!

Ok, now that the Optics exam was over, I came in a little later, to home,bringing 3 movies the amistad , runaway jury and mozart.i started watching amistad,first up...

Amistad is definitely an underrated film. Anthony Hopkins should have won an award for the film, perhaps 'Best Supporting Actor.'

Djimon Hounsou (Cinque)did an amazing job…

GIVE US FREE GIVE US FREE

D.H. should have won something as well. But I'm quite certain the film industry would never allow this to happen.

And 'Best Film' or 'Best Director' award should have been awarded to this movie as well.

Basically, it should have one atleast SOMETHING. Either way though, the movie has gone down as a classic and it is and will always be remembered. And it is truly one of the most powerful films, one of the most touching, one of the most relevant, and it is about one of the most important times in history.

The slave journey across the Atlantic Ocean-- from Africa to America. NO ONE can imagine what the horrors of sailing across the middle passage was like for African slaves. No book, no movie, no text, no narrative description can begin to describe what that was like. It was truly waaaaay worse than anything Spielberg or anybody else could put on the big screen. But I feel as if he made a brilliant attempt and that it definitely got the point across. It is truly the best depiction anyone could do!

anthony hopskins as aJohn Quincy adams....absolutely spell binding!!!...Initially he surfaces as a weathered politician who is just irritated with the way things were happening...but during the intermediate advise to Mathew Mccoughnahey(who by the way was firebrand ) he was absolutely frigging amazing...Hopkins does some intersting symbolisms in the movie..The rose when Adams moves it to sunlight while talking to the lawyer, it means that "get to know him". Bringing into the light is a simple symbology for getting to learn who Cinque really is.
Also he tries to invoke cinque;s yearning for the motherland by presenting him the african lily...

There are some post notes at the ending of the film..but it real research tells us that Cinque later became a slave trader himself...the ironies of life...!!!

But overall a terrific must watch!!!

I watched Runaway Jury too...but now not too much enthu to write abt it..Avg fare...

Amadeus still remains...we shall see..

Bullshit bingo

Embarrassing moment

Today I did something that would be really ashamed of in the rest of my life....

I was walking down College Ave, trying to reminisce what was happening with the code, suddenly a hand popped giving me a flyer and like a reflex I said 'no'...It was the Red Cross Lady who was trying to seek help for Hurricane Katrina...Senti u might say...but what the heck...I got flyers from nobody;s....(I remember I even got flyers from peep show 'hosts'...I know ur chuckling...but honestly I didnt know it was one...)...But when it came to her,why the hell did I ignore...god alone knows...anyhow...leave that

In other news:

Lions have been going on strong...touch wood...hopefully things go well!!
