Laura Member # 879	posted I see it's going to be on the Movie Channel this friday. Any comments from those who have seen it? Good, bad, not worth watching?
Laura Member # 879	posted I did get a chance to watch it and am glad I did. An incredibly sad movie, though. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0368913/
Laura Member # 879	posted satanmademedoit....I did, I did..... I have a question about the ending though. I didn't get the part when the mullah came home, and was in the room with Osama and got out some chains??? The lighting was very dark in this part and I couldn't see exactly what he was holding. Remember the part where he said.."Choose, Choose....what was that all about? Laura
satanmademedoit Member # 11766	posted Hiya Laura! Pretty shocking film for me. Okay,he was telling her to choose which padlock she wanted to be locked up with for the rest of her life..ie..under his control..he was locking them in different rooms. Sick f..k..he was/is, the end bit with him in the bath made me so mad!
Laura Member # 879	posted Thanks for the clarification satanmademedoit. Do you speak arabic? Just asking because I was wondering how acurate the subtitles were. I really had such a sick feeling to my stomach for quite some time after watching this film.
satanmademedoit Member # 11766	posted Yeah,made an impact on me too! I speak a little Arabic. You are right,some of the subtitles did not make sense but the pictures were enough to see the horror that was going on. Sad thing is,this happens and also to a lesser degree here in Egypt.
Princess_Leia Member # 12077	posted The movie was done in Afghan, not arabi. And since this town is in the north it would be pushtin and the language of the pushtins. And there was a revolt, demonstration in the north by widowed women and orphaned children. It was on the news and thee first report of the horrors of the Taliban. The Taliban militia that day shot and killed hundreds of women and children in this demonstration. Not that hundreds of widows and orphans turned out for the demonstration, no the taliban had squestered the widows into a district months before hand and there the militia shot them down in their own homes.
chimps .. Member # 11270	posted PATTAANS -----------PASHTU..... There are two major dialects of Pashto: Western Pashto spoken in Afghanistan and in the capital, Kabul, and Eastern Pashto spoken in northeastern Pakistan. Most speakers of Pashto speak these two dialects. Two other dialects are also distinguished: Southern Pashto, spoken in Baluchistan (western Pakistan and eastern Iran) and in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The variation in spelling of the language's name (Pashto, Pukhto, etc.) I PREFER TO BE IT KNOWN AS PASHTU .....

Well I couldn't remember the correct name of the dialect, it wasn't a copy and paste it was from memory. The people are called pushtins, at least that is how it was worded in a handful of books I had read on the Hazaras. Sorry to get it mixed up, I have only read so much on Afghanistan.

I am having a much better winter, and I hope you and your daughter are happy and healthy too. I am a huge fan of contemporary Afghan Sufis, I know of one who is a few years older than me, a hunk and basically one of the wisest people I have read about. But for the life of me I can't remember his name, only remember his face.

Tream Lefty Member # 6244	posted Very difficult movie to watch. Everything I've read or watched out of Afghanistan (not that I've read/seen that much) has been horribly heartbreaking.
MK the Most Interlectual Member # 8356	posted I saw two Afghan movies in my life, and then I thought never again. They are always based on real stories and although I saw them years ago, I still have a heartache remembering the events.
