Guru: Bhagwan, His Secretary & His Bodyguard (2010)
A extraordinarily one sided documentary
I've just watch this movie. I was rather shocked that such a documentary could be made so one sided. It is literally based on the opinions of two people that blame others for their own actions and failures. From what I have read about Sheela, she was more "fifteen lives for one ours" than the innocent victim and gentle sole reflected by the interviews. The director must have had personal issue with his man to have been able to create such a subjective not objective film. I was hoping the film would give me a better insight yet I was left feeling I was not give the true story. I was very disappointed by the poor standard of journalism.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011)
My film of the year.
Have you ever fallen in love with a movie? I've been in India twice. Once on a three week adventure that included Jaipur, the second for 5 months for meditation. Apart from the lack of dirt and dust, this movie was an excellent portail of life in India for a foreigner. It made me cry, it made me laugh and it make me fall in love with India again and the characters.
Judy Dench is such a pleasure to watch. I'm a james bond addict so to see such an important Character n another role should be painful, but not with Judy Dench. The cast is excellent with each playing a believable character. Maggie Smith, like Judy Dench, is a treasure to watch. From Evil Under The Sun to Downton Abbey she brings quality to every part she portrays.
