An apparently mild mannered young man, frustrated by rampant corruption and lack of opportunity in his society, decides to take drastic action. Armed with an explosives packed briefcase, he takes a group of provincial bureaucrats and politicians hostage, threatening to blow them and him up unless his demands are meet. He calls for an immediate session of Parliament to pass new legislation putting an end to corruption, injustice and poverty.
His hostages are thrown into desperation and chaos: all of their innate greed, pettiness and hypocrisy surfacing in the course of dramatic night in captivity come out drastically. With the progress of this hostage-drama, we start revealing a miniature of Bangladesh through the action & reactions of the people captivated there. In other layer, we come to face a pristine equation of “power”. What’s the source of power? And what’s power either?
The movie “Made in Bangladesh” is ad attempt to capture the contemporary political and economic crisis of Bangladesh, and the pervasive frustration of ordinary people whose thwarted aspirations for peace and prosperity are like a ticking social time bomb, ready to explode.
Directed by Mostofa Sarwar Farooki and written by Anisul Haque, this movie stars Zahid Hasan, Shahiduzzaman Selim, Tariq Anam, Tania, Tinni, Marzuk Russell and others. Now showing at Star Cineplex and Balaka Cineworld. Go watch it!
So where did you watch the movie? Is it worth watching it?
For Shanta: I watched the premier show at Star Cineplex. I liked the movie, though my date almost fell asleep. Go watch it, it's not the end of the world if you dislike it.
Hmm..affliating yourself with linux doesn't mean that you have to stick with whatever blogging platform google provides π Google is not the same old "Do no evil" nerds they used to be. For example, if I had my own web-host, I'd have installed me some worpress goodies, O' yeah. Very very web 2.0-ish, unlike Blogger that is.
For Naser: This blog is not hosted on Blogger, but on my own webspace. It's run by Nucleus (http://www.nucleuscms.org) — I'm not much of a WordPress fan. Thank you for passing by!
