The stoning of Soraya M

The stoning of Soraya M is an interesting movie. Though the director puts emphasis on the fact that Soraya is innocent and is framed, in my mind it is irrelevant. No one should be treated like that. Divorce is a civilized way to settle such disputes. The movie show cases the hate a certain section of society feels for a woman who supposedly commits adultery as opposed to the tolerance they have towards her flamboyant husband. How can you punish a mob? I suppose they do get punished over
time by their own actions. People who dig another's grave digs one for themselves unwittingly.

Dr Zhivago

Dr Zhivago is a superb must watch movie. There is mush and love but there are some powerful learning moments in the film when the poet Zhivago has to witness war at the front. A poet usually is sensitive to joy and sorrow but can hardly understand war and the waste that comes with it. I guess the poet dies even as a man lives when faced with war. Perhaps you can become a poet if you were not one if you faced a war. That will be another movie.
