The best film I watched lately was Frantz which was on the BBC iplayer before the virus.

It's a German-French film with subtitles in English about a French soldier who killed a German soldier during WW1 and who after the war goes to find the German soldier's fiancé to seek her forgiveness. 

 

I watched this last  night    really beautiful movie. I guess the ending, last scene is left for the viewers interpretation. She lies to her in laws about her experience in paris, just how she lies about the french guy to her in laws for obvious reasons, it's like their all living in illusions for comfort, trying to avoid reality. 

The visuals were beautiful.

I interpreted it as the French guy Adrien was so obsessed with getting forgiveness for his having killed the German lady Anna's fiancée and the parent's son Frantz that he does not see that she is slowly falling in love with him. Adrien's mother thinks that Anna is the one who is tormenting her son but she tells him that it is Frantz who he had killed that is tormenting him. It is only when Adrien is dropping Anna off at the train station that he starts to realise that he might also have feelings for her even though he is marrying his childhood sweetheart, he kisses her and she tells him it's 'too late' . That's pretty much the theme of the film. It is too late for Frantz and Anna to enjoy a happy married life, it is too late for Frantz's parents to see their son have children, it is too late for Adrien and Anna to have some happiness from such a hopeless situation. You are right, the visuals were beautiful and the way in which sadness and despair was shown in black and white while happiness and hope was shown in colour worked really well.

Yh there was a theme of longing in the movie. It was quite sad actually. Though I feel once the French chap told Anna the truth, it was like a closure for her, she actually felt like she could move on, only to find out the French guy isnt interested in her. But yh I agree I can see how he was so caught up in guilt that he couldn't see that she had feelings for him, and at the end when he did find out he realised he has feelings for her too. I think he was only marrying the French bird because of his mother. 

What did you make of the end? Because she sitting next to another bloke who resembled the French guy, and they were looking at the painting and she said somethinf that the painting makes her want to live. I guess she moved on and met the new bloke.

Watching Extraction on Netflix   cool movie, very basic storyline, but lots of really gd action sequences , fighting,  violence etc.  At times it feels like a video game.  Really well shot. English movie but Its shot in Bengal.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
