It's a different kind of war movie, for a change are defusing bombs. I liked the sense of movie making and brilliant camera work. It has some real punching lines to remember. You got to watch this movie for very tense moments of bomb defusing, if not for good story or plot.
When it won so many Oscar awards, people wondered is it that good to qualify for an Oscar? Whatever the debate, it's got some real tense and edgy bomb explosion scenes.
All sums upto this dialogue which appears at the end of the movie. An innocent man is tied-up with powerful time bomb. Our hero, a bomb defusing expert try to help but has got only few seconds to unlock time bomb vested with so many locks . He is able to unlock one but not others. Hero runs for life uttering these words :
I can't. There's too many locks. There's too many, I can't do it,
I can't get it off. I'm sorry, Okay!
You understand? I'm sorry,
I'm sorry. You hear me? I'm sorry...
That's the damn painful scene. It's also the reality of war torn lands of terrorism; locked up and entangled with foolish ideologies. They are burning their own future, eradicating their own kids life. West might unlock easy knots in the short run, but not in the long. Their help is undermined with land mines !
I've traveled quite a bit to US, UK, Taiwan and South East Asia. As my work demands, have spent most of the time living in hotels and corporate apartments or with friends. Not even a single instance, I was never objected by any native of that domicile. I always tried to strike a communication or wave length some one I meet. I'm sure that's the experience of many.
But oflate since Aussie attack incidents cropping up more frequently, any violence which includes desi citizen, is highlighted in media as a scary scene . I understand the intent of media flashing the news time and again. It might be an awareness act to grab the attention of the nation where incident happened. When you're hurt on the streets of unknown country, there's hardly anyone to help you.
I'm sure, there are lot who take the face value of everything appears in media. I believe, media has a larger role to educate the mindset of Indian's traveling abroad.
'Be a Roman while in Rome’ – is a commonly heard adage. Observe the life style of people around you and rearrange yours accordingly.. Talking or laughing in high pitch is not acceptable any where.The natives in most of the countries, smile at you even if they don’t know you. But we smile only when we see acquaintances. Learn to smile, wave or wish when you come across unknown people, it does not hurt you.
I found a cool read about how to be a safe citizen in another country. I guess it's known to most of us, but no harm in reading it again.

A country should utilize it's powers and wealth to mitigate poverty, ease out labor union strikes, beautify the god given nature, take care of poisonous facts of its milk production, dipping toys export due to toxic substances, and increase productivity as it's best known nation for -'made in' tag on bottom of any product. Not to hurt or invade the nation which has never invaded any country in her last 100000 years of history.
"Sometime back an email was circulated where in God showed India as His finest creation except that it did not have good neighbors. It is aptly said that you can choose your friends but not your neighbors. In this post, I will briefly take you through an introductory note on how India’s influence in the neighboring nations of South East Asia is being slowly eroded by China. In the successive posts, I will take each of the nations in greater detail."
