Re: Independence Day Celebration: Aug 11-17
Indeed an excellent Movie and though initially after its controversial and much delayed release in 2000 it was much criticized for Akbar S Ahmed having taken a very unique angle to portary the life of Quaid-e-Azam Jinnah; though after re-watching the movie many people would agree that the approach taken by the film maker was absolutely marvellous.
He approached the man Jinnah from the mysterious and controversial figure that he has often (though wrongly) been portrayed to be. Akber Ahmed put Jinnah through a trial levelling all public perceptions and criticisms as well as allegations ever raised against him and very beautifully answered and logically satisfied each one of them, thereby clearing the misconceptions or misrepresentations about our Founding Father and propelling his stature much higher for the entire world to realize and respect!
The actors did an excellent job and my particular favourite was the young Jinnah Richard Lintern; very sharp and charismatic.
Thanks for sharing teggy, and all involved! :k:
