Motion Picture: Law abiding Citizen


Perspective: We are the creator of our own enemies.

Law Abiding Citizen is a film produced by Gerard Butler who is also a co-main star of Jamie Foxx. The film is about a man who is determined to not only to avenge the death of his family but also an entire corrupt criminal justice system. The film takes place in Philadelphia, USA.

This is the best film that I have ever seen in my entire life simply because the story telling composition and the idea is best organized and actually fit in any society that you can mention corrupt government. I was craved emotionally after watching this film for 1:30 hours. It is a film that shows how corrupt government system is insufficient to protect those who are weak and continue defending those who are powerful in the society.

However, thanks to the director of this film who actually managed to balance the roles to every character in the film. Clyde Alexander is attacked in his house by a gang of three men lead by Rupert Ames who kill his daughter and wife in front of him. Clyde opens up a case against Rupert but then he wins the case in the court after corrupting the prosecutor Jamie Foxx. Clyde sees the prosecutor receiving money from Rupert which causes Clyde to commit multiple murders while targeting both.
We live in a society whereas rules are created to ensure that justice and peace is preserved yet the justice organs are the ones who lead in bending the laws. Corruption is the biggest enemy of justice and peace in many African countries. The weak are denied their privileges as the powerful ones are doing necessarily to buy the power in the society. I believe that someday all nations in Africa will get tired of watching government leaders embezzling money and so enter into a conflict. A conflict for quest of new society whereas peace and justice will be preserved.

Motion Picture: The Adventure of Tintin


Perspective: Animation is a powerful medium to create our dreams and ideas into reality show.

The Adventure of Tintin directed by Steven Spielberg, is a 2011 American 3D motion capture computer-animated epic adventure film based on a young journalist, and his dog Snowy are browsing in an outdoor market in Brussels, Belgium. Tintin buys a miniature model of a ship, the Unicorn, but is then accosted by Barnaby and Ivan who both unsuccessfully try to buy the model from Tintin.




Later the miniature model of Tintin is stolen from his home place. He then visits Sakharine in Marlinspike Hall and accuses him of the theft when he sees a miniature model, but when he notices that Sakharine’s model is not broken, he realizes that there are two Unicorn models. Tintin is now in the adventure of finding what is so special about this model. Here is where all journalistic tactics are put into practices whereas he solves puzzle questions.

I love animation, with this story of Tintin speaking of storyboarding, video composition, sets performance and the philosophy behind this film is well kept together that in the end defines the title “The Adventure of Tintin”. I always tell people that animation is not just about presenting ideas for childrens, it is about presenting your morals, beliefs, and sentiments to the society/community to Edu entertain people.

Aside from watching animation, when people starts questioning animators as non-professionals I always ask them, do you know how much it takes to create such a film? I mean how can you say it is unprofessional when not less than 2000 animators were just given an assignment to model the whole world of Pandola in the Avatar Movie? Are you saying they are not serious when they employ 500 computer programmers to make sure every software that is used in filming does function properly? I always say everyone was once a child even if you left that stage in your life but only those who have inner eye will see the magic of animation. It is not about cartoons it is about learning the idea presented in form of cartoons.
