Interesting piece of post....really, this brings me to the question I have often asked myself: How to we all access these posts in the first place? I mean, do we first go by where the thread is posted?...(like go directly in to General talk, Time pass...etc. folders, based on what we are in the mood of?) or [like me] go directly to the New-Posts section/folder first and then read thru anything that seems interesting and catches the eye with their title/heading!??!...

baaki ghanii ho li sey....... aur ghaniien reh bhi gayi sein
....all my working and researching life, I've spent on Business and society, the concepts of corporate social responsibility, corporate ethics and stuff....the boring stuff which has no ultimate answers and you just go round and round and round...a lot of heartache and introspection.... i've got to spent time with people who work in these big organisations (i have myself worked in one and left after i realise what its actually like from inside) and i have found subtle and strong shades of passion for this subject and i have seen people say....ok these organisations are not doing everything right but we are here precisely because of that...we are here because we know we are right...these often leads one to existentialist questions...i saw the same theme in this movie apart from the love story... , i'll come back to the movie itself, lets talk about the love story....there is a very old saying...'opposites attract'...this is quite resounding in the movie...in the heroine i saw a humane person who could share her love and protect people....and this 'protection' bit is the one which got her husband to share her convictions (only after her death)....she did not talk to him (about her work) much because she wanted to protect him, because he was unlike her, was different from her and was happy in his gardening (no disrespect, everyone has their own way of finding meaning in life). shailendra said:...Hmmm, yeah... it was ok! I was getting a lil' put off with the whole black and white, comic book style of filming. Wanted to switch the DVD off and pick up a good DC comic book instead! LOL...
Now Priti, I remember you ealier mentioned 'The Constant Gardener', right? Well, I have watched it and wanted to ask what is that you liked in there that it fell under your fav list?... Don't get me wrong; not questioning your call and I liked the movie too, sorta (it kept me intrigued and glued all along at least) but just as a discussion...
(people who haven't seen the movie and are planning to watch can stop reading right here!
I will tell you my thoughts: While the whole concept (Medical companies making a killing in the poor third world countries)...was worth a subject, and they show the main leads bring the culprits to justice and thus raise a warning sign to the world over, but the way the whole story was put together seemed somehow far-fetched to me (or at least the way the director showed it, did!)...
Consider this; here is a guy who works with a big organization, takes in a mutinous woman as a wife... ignores all his other colleauges warnings on her; loses her eventually, realizes what was happening and then proceeds to take up the world all by himself!!! A guy who is shown as mild mannered and non-dominant is suddenly shown calling the shots everywhere!...he loves her enough to go on a warpath, but apparently had no time to listen when she was talking in the first place!...and then the ending of the movie (and that was the limit for me!) he just sits down and waits for death to walk up to him... what an anticlimax! I was shocked by it! (I guess the male ego in me failed to see eye to eye on that!)... I dunno, the movie was interesting, or should I say 'good' at best!
The movie was hyped a lil' bit at the Oscar's too, and got the lead actress one of the gold baldies for the supporting role, right? (she looks stunning, BTW)
priti said:....usually i either i like or dislike films for their overall appeal to me....the liking for this one, i should staightaway say is coming out of my bias for the subject
i think i like this movie because it shows that corporate bottomlines (which were created by human and can easily be done away with) have become more important than human lives....we are seeing it everywhere...thank god somebody made a movie on it.....ok...now you've got me started....i think i'll keep my further views to myself...
you've got to watch it twice to make proper sense of it....and if you like it more the second time...maybe you should watch syriana and lord of war too...
Good for you, my compliments to you for being in a field that apparently raises so much passion in ya! At least now, if not in the beginning like you mentioned... (isn't that what it's all about?; working when it is not 'work' but more a passion! believe me I would know...)... )...believe me when I say I didn't watch the movie just from the bystander perspective and in all fairness understood why the director had to make the ending like the way he did; it was not some Rambo going against the whole Russian empire (reminds me all the Rambo series were iconic too! Heh!) but simply cause he is just a normal working guy, in the same field finally hoping that his huge sacrifice (and that of his wife before him) would maybe make the world sit up and notice... but I guess just the whole idea of someone in the same field apparently for so long, but still being completely clueless about the underhand workings and happenings (big or small) seemed a lil' far fetched and weird! But then the movie would not be such a end-of-the-seat thriller now, would it!?!... )... )...so maybe you wanna keep going on your thoughts there!?! Heh! Heh!)]priti said:
