The Hunting Party - An Extended Eulogy

After a long time, a movie worth blogging about (The joker deserves a full page obituary).
Richard Gere and Terrence Horward(he has a very cool set of eyes!) star in this edge of the seat thriller. Supported by Jesse Eisenberg, the three of them set out to catch a most wanted war criminal. The plot is really good, the director manages to keep the audience glued to their seats.
But I would like to write about something else here rather than the movie.
It will sound like the same old "Whatz so Civil about War anyways.." but yes... it did show how petty our lives actually are.
How can one human being live in a world so secure when there are millions of others being hunted, raped, killed, butchered! Is 'secure' an illusion? All it takes for a riot in India is a rumour. Forget being attacked by outsiders, its these attacks that are more scary. Why did John Lenon sing "Imagine"? Did John and Yoko actually find true love? Can the truth can set you free? Are we equipped to handle the truth?
I hate watching News channels, I detest reading news papers. So, my GK is a little poor. But probably the only thing my GK would improve upon would be "Who is the latest official to get involved in a scandal".

But movies like these make you think. Sometimes for the better, or sometimes for the worse.

An amazing movie and a must watch...
The characters are more real than reel.. Kay Kay and Bose are outstanding...
the guy who acted as Javed Khan has also done a great job .. the director Samar Khan has handled this topic well... does not nag us too much .. goes on with the story .. and the sights are breathtaking .. Kashmir is shown in its natural self.. what a shame that being in the same country, we hestitate to go and see this paradise on earth!
