Very creepy movie and wrong on so many levels here….Getting old here or Luc Besson “played” with some not so pure thoughts? Not long ago, in 1976, when Taxi Driver came out, it was a huge criticism of young Jody Foster playing a role of a 12 year old prostitute, Iris.
Fast forward to 1994 and some things started to be “very normal”? Hmmmm….I wish that only my prudent old mind is playing tricks on me….Very creepy movie and wrong on so many levels here….Getting old here or Luc Besson “played” with some not so pure thoughts?

Light, romantic comedy to enjoy and remember when our life wasn’t all about pandemic, wobbly moon, deadly wasps, grasshopper pests, killer bees and four horsemen of apocalypse! Who survive will talk about it!

This wasn’t what I have expected to be. Retelling the history was trumped by vicious giant polar bear terrorizing the crew. Hmmm..and it is so obvious that whole production was studio based….Let’s call it for what it is, rubbish!

Pakistani contender for the Oscar 2015. Beautiful and moving. Makes you to reflect and count your blessings. Loved the contrast between yellowish green mountain region and bright colours of women’s shalwar kameez.

Deep, rich character story told in very brooding Canadian way.
“….it was hard to accept that sometimes, in spite of all our efforts, things just didn’t work out. There is no shame in admitting it. In fact it is important to admit it. It was important to recognize when something wasn’t working, because otherwise you placed yourself under an impossible strain. And then, of course, things tended to go seriously wrong.”
So, so true in many ways…..Deep, rich character story told in very brooding Canadian way.

It’s a story that every culture knows of it or heard….in some cultures more, unfortunately …..innocent always pay the price at the end.
Even though that this particular disc freezes here and there, it’s worth of an effort to watch it!

This book speaks to my heart and mind. Read it….it might help you too.
“Materialism correlates strongly with increased depression and anxiety.”
“Most of sense we have been valuing the wrong things for too long. We need to create a “counter rhythm” to the junk values that have been making us mentally sick.”
“Protracted loneliness causes you to shut down socially, and to be more suspicious of any social contact, he found. You become hypervigilant. You start to be more likely to take offense where none was intended, and to be afraid of strangers. You start to be afraid of the very thing you need most. John calls this a “snowball” effect, as disconnection spirals into more disconnection. Lonely people are scanning for threats because they unconsciously know that nobody is looking out for them, so no one will help them if they are hurt. This snowball effect, he learned, can be reversed—but to help a depressed or severely anxious person out of it, they need more love, and more reassurance, than they would have needed in the first place. The tragedy, John realized, is that many depressed and anxious people receive less love, as they become harder to be around. Indeed, they receive judgment, and criticism, and this accelerates their retreat from the world. They snowball into an ever colder place.”This book speaks to my heart and mind.
