There were quite a few movies i watched during my eventless weekends and thought of writing something about those.
Chariots of Fire
A true story about two athletes. Its amazing what drives people. One athlete was driven by a passion for glory. He wanted to win and victory only could make him happy. The other one was driven by God. He belives and becomes more close to god by running and that running is like fulfilling a duty. Driven by these different recents, these two champions run and they become victorious.
As correctly mentioned in one of imdb comments ‘A battle beween the forces of the physical and spiritual’
Munich
If you are a fan of Eric Bana (I am) this is one of his memorable performances. I have always been a history junky and this was an important story cos i have known the Munich Olympics disaster. I was just thinking the similarities when the LTTE gun runner ‘KP’ was nabbed by Our Intelligence people in Malaysia. Luckily they did’nt kill him like what Avner (Eric Bana) did in Munich.
Again, a thriller!
Nights In Rodanthe
This is based on a book by the same author who wrote ‘The Notebook’. Again a story of middle age romance. But not as powerful to me as of ‘Brdges of madison County’, but a good enough one to spend some lonely time. A sand ending unlike ‘The NoteBook’.
The Shawshank Redemption - Fear can hold you prisoner, hope can set you free….
You should never loose hope. Even if it takes 20 years to dig a tunnel to freedom. A truly inspiring story of a prison break who was wrongly convicted and put into prison. Its a love between two great friends. Something which we not oftenly could see.
This is a must watch….
