Latest Movies We Watched Recently:
WAITING FOR THE BARBARIANS - Whether this movie story is a true story or fiction it is something to think about as such story is somewhat what happened in the past actually based on History.
The story revolves around the middle-aged Magistrate (Mark Rylance) stationed in the isolated outpost waiting for the high ranking officer to arrive. Colonel Joll (played by Johnny Depp) arrived at the outpost together with his men (soldiers) and they were given warm welcome by the Magistrate then after the feast in which Colonel Joll didn't bother eat nor drink he was ushered to the prison to let him see the two prisoners wanted for stealing. The two thieves were punished good enough to admit their sins but the Colonel Joll was actually a cruel man with punishment and tortured so severe that one of the prisoners died. You know what he died of? You have to do the replay or rewind of the video or disc if ever you missed what he died of. The other prisoner who had an unknown wound covered with blood still alive and was taken by Colonel Joll to their unknown journey and the Magistrate has to be on his outpost for the rest of the days and months until another officer came to visit then another surprise of a indigenous woman turned out a Mongolian woman who was badly wounded and crippled. The magistrate was so compassionate and kind to adopt her, treated her well and make sure she was cured and able to consciously get home to her tribe. The magistrate and his men accompanied the Mongolian woman to her Mongolian tribe and the Mongols accepted his bulk of silver and spare their lives and two horses. However, when the Magistrate went back home he was prosecuted by the warrant officer (played by Robert Pattinson - The Twilight lead actor) for leaving his outpost. He was hanged from the tree dressed in a woman's clothing. The humiliation is so severe in some ways but his life was spared. Days passed by and suddenly all the soldiers were rushing in panic when one of the lone officers came back home alone sitting on the horse tied down and his upper skull missing. Where's the brain? His head's missing his brains! That's darn cruel message that lead them to evacuate right immediately. Everyone tried to escape and only the Magistrate and few of his men stayed to wait for the barbarians.
HUMANITY BUREAU - I hope this is just fiction. It cannot be a true story because this is worst than the Barbarians.
A Humanity Bureau agent portrayed by Nicolas Cage had to do his job by visiting those people in the government list for resettlement. Some of these people were living in certain isolated community and receiving government assistance or benefit but because they were in the list for evacuation or resettlement they must comply with the law. However some people cannot accept the fact of being in those "resettlement" they become aggressive to fight for their rights. In that time period, harsh toxic environment where water is scarce and production of food has its limited supply the law must be obeyed that you must give more, more than what you can take. At the end, do you know or want to know the ending? Or you should have to watch the ending for yourself?
