Kandahar or What is a sister?

Postby Elba » Sat May 28, 2005 9:41 pm

Some years ago I sew a movie from Afganistan, the title
KANDAHAR
After saw it I thought that the movie could titled WHAT IS A SISTER? or simply "A FEELING"
I thought I have seen the better movies, but after KANDAHAR I had changed my mind.
Is the story of a woman -Nafa- who got away from Afganisthan with her family, but her father and sister couldn´t do it, because her sister is hurted by a bomb.
After too much years she decided to return to Afganisthan because her sister writte a letter to tell her that she will cut her veins the day of the solar eclipse, because she is desesperated because of the Taliban regimen.
Nafa want to get to Kandahar -where her sister live- before the eclipse, but it is very difficult to returne to the country and then she have to pay to some people in order to cross the frontier and go to Kandahar.
In the country she have to simulate she is the wife of an afgan men, and after that she simulate is the mother of a boy, and after that she simulate that is the relative of a woman who is going to get marry.
Is a sad story but she said beautiful phrases about what does mean to be a sister.
The movie make me cry, maybe because is very good, maybe because when I saw it I had lost my sister.
If anyone at EC see the movie please give me your coments.
If anyone have a sister, please tell what does she mean for you.

I'm gonna ask my bf to dl the movie. What's your rating for it? Below 5 or above 5? I'm asking this because I'm not too fond to watch movies that are below 5. It's a waste of time to me.

As a sister??? We share the same blood and since blood is thicker than water we should be there for each other??? Born and raised by the same parents so we should love each other??? Et cetera. Well, I don't know if there is any other meaning for being siblings than those; that's all I know. I'm close to one of my cousins than my sister though. On the other hand, all my cousins are like brothers and sisters to me, so it doesn't make a big difference, actually. I think it's because I call my uncles as daddies and my aunt-in-laws as mommies. Thus, technically I, my siblings and my cousins are just like brothers and sisters although some of us are not at birth.

For me is above 10. but you don´t see the movies because of the qualification of another person, in tht way you lost the oportunity to stablish your own judgment

Although each individual has his/her taste for things, there is still a common appreciation and admiration when it comes to a good work of arts. I, normally, check critics and ratings to see the commons that we all share. If something is highly reviewed and highly rated, but to me is a piece of ~ then I'll just come to the conclution that I and some others have different taste. On the other hand of that conclusion, I believe there is one person, either I or those people, must be the weirdo :mrgreen: .
