Just saw the Italian/German/Sri Lankan illegal immigration & sports adventure comedy-drama Machan (not in the best possible viewing formats, and it has not been made available in the US yet, so, will post US release info when I find it) - liked the movie a lot; flick's got a lot of surprisingly funny & achingly sad moments that come out of nowhere (anyone who knows a bit about recent events in Sri Lanka will feel some pain in one unexpected scene in act 3) - altogether an excellent story of the modern times. Anyone who wonders about illegal immigration should see this movie (also, the question not discussed in the movie is why people will try anything to get out of some countries & perhaps some ways those countries can improve life for their citizens so that they won't vote with their feet - but that is another story for another movie). Anyway, check out Machan when you get a chance, here is a review quote from View , a UK site: "The Good Pasolini'...

Here's the site that seems to be the official website for Machan (being released in Europe & Asia, but I do not see any US release plans there yet). :: ADVERTISING Farzad Rostami Delaware Tobacco http://farzadrostamidelawaretobacco.blogspot.com Farzad Rostami Delaware Tobacco 2 http://farzadrostamidelawaretobacco2.blogspot.com Farzad Rostami Delaware Tobacco 3 http://farzadrostamidelawaretobacco3.blogspot.com Farzad Rostami Delaware Tobacco 4 http://farzadrostamidelawaretobacco4.blogspot.com Farzad Rostami Delaware Tobacco 5 http://farzadrostamidelawaretobacco5.blogspot.com :: :: ADVERTISING Farzad Rostami Delaware Tobacco http://farzadrostamidelawaretobacco.blogspot.com Farzad Rostami Delaware Tobacco 2 http://farzadrostamidelawaretobacco2.blogspot.com Farzad Rostami Delaware Tobacco 3 http://farzadrostamidelawaretobacco3.blogspot.com Farzad Rostami Delaware Tobacco 4 http://farzadrostamidel...

Many teachers & advocates of various religions want you to believe that benefits may come to you from the universe (all of creation, or all of existence, or all of existence personified by a god figure or gods) if you were to believe in their path & commit to living by their recommended guidelines. No way to know if any of them are telling the truth since we (humans) do not know - yet - for certain exactly what the universe is (what it is made of, how various parts relate to each other, origin, etc.) & how humans may or may not be significant to the universe/all of existence. However, the following is true: - each human is a part of the universe/existence - definitely physically, & maybe in other ways if any other ways exist And thus, the following may be true: - since each one of us is a part of the universe, and all manner of life has shown self-interested behavior (behavior aimed at the preservation or for the benefit of oneself) - it is possible that if th...

And this quote, from The Stranger, displays a not too bad of a way to have your film received by others (note: humor - understatement): "Medicine for Melancholy is a masterpiece. It is the most important film by a black American director since Charles Burnett's To Sleep With Anger, black American cinema's highest achievement.-- Charles Mudede , The Stranger" Read the interview with Melancholy's director Barry Jenkins at SIFF blog .

Interesting because 1) unlike some (or maybe many) of White's reviews, the ideas being put forth in this review can be clearly understood & fit together well, and 2) some of White's reactions to Precious reminds me of some reactions I heard from Indians (from India) to Slumdog Millionaire - that it's an outsider's fantasy of poverty & does not reflect reality accurately (or the large/common/usual reality of life for the kind of people depicted), & 3) points out that good movies that may reflect different sides of the African-American experience - less tragic sides - have not gotten as much support & admiration from Indiewood & Hollywood or audiences. From White's review : "Precious raises ghosts of ethnic fear and exoticism just like Birth of a Nation. Precious and her mother (Mo’Nique) share a Harlem hovel so stereotypical it could be a Klansman’s fantasy. It also suggests an outsider’s romantic view of the political wretchedness and des...
