again, a big gap since i last gave time to my blog. left for india on the 19th of feb and returned on the 12th march, a whole 21 day trip of interesting challenges.
still in the midst of writing my journal. it might take some more time. hope to complete it before i leave for trichy again in july.
after my return on the 12th, managed to complete a few movies.
the last legion. a 2007 film by doug lefler. has colin firth, aishwarya rai, thomas sangster and ben kingsley amongst others.
the many versions of king arthur and excaliber has made every movie connected with it a fascinating watch for me. i know others will or might complain of how badly the movie started or it isn't the way its supposed to be or maybe the actors screwed it up but well, even though i sort of think like them, i still enjoyed it. hehehe. i think if one does not take it seriously, then it is good entertainment and it will keep you engaged.
was it a bad movie. i dont know. i cant say. it surrounds the fall of the roman empire with its last emperor, a 12 yr old sangster (romulus) who would rule for a day before losing it all to guy in a golden mask named vortgyn, who apparently is looking for that same sword which would belong to king arthur one day. for rome to rise to power again, sangster must find the sword that would give the rightful ruler power to attain rome again. aurelius (colin firth) and merlin (kinsley) aid romulus in that direction. mira (aishwarya) is an indian warrior who is sent with them as a guard.
there are some atrocious and unbelievable battle scenes that emerge with ridiculous time gaps of fighters having time to hug and exchange compassionate looks with each other.
like i said, if you dont take it seriously, you will pretty much enjoy it. however, this film does not really follow any true historical events and the overall acts seem pretty unreal and inactive. my conclusion is the same, for a lighthearted movie, its fun to watch.
