Hero of humanity

Ms Sabiha Sumar. http://www.jazbah.org/sabiha.php

I’m stunned by her art and storytelling. A great woman fighting for a great cause in most inspiring and artistic way.

Silent Waters is the best movie I’ve seen in a long time. It is amazing to see how she pulled it off by tying various subplots into one solid composite story with a backdrop of 1979’s Zia (may he rot in hell for eons to come) regime and made hell of a movie! It’s just perfect. Well made, well told, strongly scripted, realistic, truthful, effective, wihtout over-emotionalization (a big achievement) or overdramatization. Everything, every item, every gesture, every slang, every expression she picturized is real but yet dramatic. Bravo! :k:

Re: Hero of humanity

My hero and heroin of humanity are Roman and Lazy_Daisy. I propose a Guppy marriage between these two souls that are made for each other.

Re: Hero of humanity

she has a new movie/documentry coming out..I saw Khamosh pani awhile back..it was good, I suppose because of the backdrop it got a lot of attention.

Re: Hero of humanity

It was a good movie.....but I never got to see the ending.

About a woman who's son gets involved with revolutionaries (or was it terrorists).....if I remember correctly.

Re: Hero of humanity

I don't want to give away the story. But I had not read the movie synoposis but had some idea about it but it turned out to be different and better.

Re: Hero of humanity

Oh I saw clips of it, they speak in a strange dialect, similar to Punjabi.

Roman · September 22, 2005, 6:59pm

Re: Hero of humanity

Not similiar to Punjabi. It is Punjabi. It's picturized in the areas of Wah, Rawalpindi, and Chakwal.

cat-woman · September 22, 2005, 7:07pm

Re: Hero of humanity

It sounded very different to the Punjabi I'm accustomed to hearing, there must be various dialects.

Roman · September 22, 2005, 7:09pm

Re: Hero of humanity

Yeh, lil bit. But I kinda didn't find it much different to what I'm used to. Partly because I've heard some "village" Punjabi too. City Punjabi is surely different. It's more Urdu words in it.

Re: Hero of humanity

Re: Hero of humanity

Re: Hero of humanity

don't people in the wah region speak potohari/hindko?

Roman · September 22, 2005, 9:22pm

Re: Hero of humanity

I think so. But I believe most of the movie was filmed in Chakri village. Wah/Pindi area was probably just few bazaar scenes etc.

Re: Hero of humanity

Thx for the advise R.

Just found the movie and bought it.

(ps Chakri should be Charkhi.)
