Baran

This time, it is an Iranian Movie - Baran. I just came out(of youtube) watching this excellent movie. Some movies are so magnificent with all colors, lights, stunts, stealing your heart. There are also movies that is silent but yet powerful than the first kind of movies. Baran is one such of that kind and no wonder it makes you feel so good and keeps you silent. The movie is all that shows about true love - No hatred, No fights, No kisses, dances, romantic scenes (or) whatsoever you expect in a love movie. This is still a love movie but that runs in the back ground.Watching such movies helps me understand world history better - Soviet Union's attack on Afghanistan and the life of Afghans after the invasion was over. Lateef, a teenager(Iranian in the movie) is attracted towards Baran (Afghan girl). When he knows about her family condition, he starts helping her without she knowing about all this. Reviews (or) previews of such movies are wonderful. But, you know what - the movie is far far amazing. The movie ends with Baran(rain - thanks to wiki for enlightening me that Baran is the persian word for 'rain') pouring down to earth. Thanks to Majid Majidi, the director for giving everyone an oppurtunity to cherish true love and lead the way.

Baran - Not just a movie but an awesome lesson and an example of true love that still exists in this world although we do not see many. Take Care. More later with another movie / thought.
