I may be a Holocene deniar..........but hey, at least it's not hot, flat, and ugly here.
I have just seen the movie Osama, in Spanish – it is a beautiful movie. I wonder if any if any or you have seen it?
It shows the cruelty of the Taliban when they were in charge in Afghanistan. There are no professional actors they are all people the director recruited in Kabul.
I cannot explain it any better than a person using the name of vjkn from Kerala, India.
“The Director is taking through us a 80 minutes journey through the eyes of a 13 year old girl in Afghanistan under the Taliban...
The landscape full of limestone .....and the people unfortunate enough to have born into the wrong time.... barren land and lives..... where every other woman is a widow and every other mother is a living tomb.......
Please listen to the soundtrack carefully.... especially the background score.... its really important..... it starts off with an iron swing..... ends with the sound of skipping rope hitting the ground.... Masterful.
I bet that after the movie, you will go and kiss your young daughter. You sure will.
My salute to the director who mesmerized me the whole 80 minutes....
I saw this movie in 8th international film festival of Kerala in 2003 where It got a grand applause.
This was the first movie made in post Taliban regime in Afghanistan. Truly commendable.
My 9 out of 10.”
Tell it to the 77 million tourists* who visited Florida (THE TOP TRAVEL DESTINATION IN THE WORLD) in 2004 and contributed $57 Billion to Florida's economy and who included a few Michigan residents who fled your state in order to spend $3 billion more outside Michigan than visitors to that icy paradise brought into it.
*all of whom evidently preferred hot, flat and ugly to cold, flat, decaying and uglier ...
