Movies

Watched some movies over last few weeks
Kadosh
A Israeli movie who shows the pathetic life of women in a orthodox jewish society. Wonderful movie.

Into the Wild
A true story of Christopher McCandless an american wanderer who almost lived alone in Alaska and died due to starvation at the age of 24 .An inspiring movie but it disturbed me a lot.I liked his idea ,that people should not derive happiness from relationships instead they should look towards nature to "derive new experiences" and happiness .

Redacted
A movie by Brian de Palma about "Mahmudiyah killings" in Iraq. It is very disturbing movie about American soldiers who gang-raped and murdered a 14-year-old Iraqi girl named Abeer Qasim Hamza, after murdering her mother , father ,and her sister aged 5.


Shawshank Redemption
It is rated as one of best movies ever made. A story of hope and how people handle adversity.

These days I stopped watching junk commercial movies. Time is precious and we should not do anything which will not add any value to ourselves or improve our understanding !
