A Peck on the Cheek (Mani Ratnam's film)
Yesterday night after a long rough day with D, I wanted to have a TV dinner. Well, N had picked up A Peck on the Cheek from the library. Not really the kind of genre that would have helped me unwind. I bawled even more than my daughter did! sigh. But a nicely done movie.
Have liked several of Mani Ratnam's work. He has some great movies and so is the actor Madhavan (in 3 Idiots (kind of like the Dead Poets Society, Rang de Basanti). Love his stuff.
Sri Lanka is such a beautiful country. I am not a tea drinker and it was a country that helped me enjoy it. had the best cup of tea on one of their hillsides. It's so sad to see such turmoil its going through. When we went we weren't allowed to go anywhere in the north-east, where most of the war is taking place. I hope I never live in a country where fear fills even the security's eyes. They have security checking the cars a mile or so OUTSIDE the airport and the policemen & women looked so petrified doing their jobs! (They had just introduced the check point because of a bomb going of the previous year.)
And this movie showed just the situation, the way it is. It doesn't get into the depth of each side's story but just how people get through during the turmoil.
