    I just posted my first IMDB comment lol hope it will be approved lolz

    people live in misery but they seem to have failed to realize it, or
    they may have realized it but the fact that they haven't been able
    to do anything about it, may have rendered them utterly indifferent to
    their tragedies (like somebody already has pointed out) ..they are
    detached from the fellow human beings and they are absolutely lonely,
    and nobody seem to understand anybody and also nobody seem to expect
    any understanding from anybody else...the movie, masterfully crafted
    and acted, depicts a world where everybody is living among each other
    yet unable to connect to each other except for very quick senseless
    pleasures..but the movie also make a sense of humanity still
    apparent in those characters. Isn't it the tragedy of entire human
    society, not only in Sri Lanka ..that we are detached from each
    other..that we over-look our own miseries let alone of others..

    the desert like desolate landscape, the sound of the dry wind and the lack of life on the land, add up to the atmosphere of the
    lives of these people, and the absence of a score for most of it also
    works fine with the mood. only complain I have is that the nudity in
    this felt mostly unnecessary. and the plot, well if there was one, felt
    all scattered. I don't think the director was trying to convey some
    specific message but his idea was to depict a society we live in today
    on screen as to his own mindset at which I believe he's succeeded.

    I'm quite aware of the stir this caused for it's portrayal of SL army
    but how anybody see this as a movie about war is totally beyond me. by
    the time the movie came out, we, Sri lankans, couldn't think of
    anything without it having nothing to do with the war, it was a force
    that influenced our lives and the social elements, for me, the presence
    of soldiers in this movie, is merely a metaphor for what sort of a role the war had played in our lives.

    and it's really nice to see this sorta artistic movies coming out of
    sri lanka...this is the only time in years that I deviated from my
    usual movie track of European or Hollywood cinema to have a look at
    what my own nation has to offer..and surely i was not disappointed. I
    urge every sri lankan to see this movie for what it is and keep in mind
    that its not a statement about war, but an artistic expression of an
    individual about our lives.
    expect a bunch of comments ranging from you being a LTTE supporter to a tool for foreign agencies hell bent of destroying SL :P

    Rewatched- the little world of Don Camillo(1952).All five films are classics I recommend them to anyone who likes good comedy.

    closely watched trains...should thank nuwanoo for the suggestion..

    it had some genuinely hilarious moments and exquisite photography ..and apparently some political over tone ..it was a good comedy with some very unique elements that ive never seen in a movie before ..

    it cheered me up anyway lol was having the blues, but now feels perfectly nice.

    Nice to see a 2D animated movie from Disney again. Got the Disney staples: comedy, goofy characters, music and happy ending.

    no, the other woman who comes to help Depp's character all the time.

    Yep thats wat I ment the blond one who rides the motor bike right?
    I thought she was a demon cause the final picture shows a woman riding a 4 headed monster.
