A movie made by India’s finest director Mani Ratnam featuring the most talented actor Kamal Hassan and having its music composed by the one of the best music directors Illayaraja was very much high on expectations. The product was nothing short of sheer brilliance. Nayagan had got it all right!! It is almost fifteen years since the movie hit the big screen‚ but even today it is the most talked off movie in film circles. It was supposed to be filmed on the lines of another great English movie‚ Godfather

Real- Life Corruption Director Martin Scorsese’s movie The Departed is a suspenseful action packed drama. Filled with guns‚ crime‚ violence‚ good guys‚ bad guys‚ and a twisted mix of corruption‚ this film will keep you on the edge of your seat awaiting absolute chaos.

The movie‚ Gallipoli‚ is about Australia’s past and the beginning of the ANZAC tradition. Gallipoli‚ the movie was released in 1981. The movie demonstrates ’mateship’. The director Peter Weir took too very different Australian’s‚ with two very different views on war and made a friendship from it‚ and the friendship grew throughout the film. Although Archy and Frank were both athletes‚ this is the only thing they have in common. As a typical Australian film‚ a main or important character die.

Crash Essay The movie Crash conveys the message that conflicts between races is due to a lack of understanding and communication.

In general people think everything racist is between whites and blacks‚ but if you look closely in this movie you see minorities and people of
