The Lady: A Movie Review.

I watched “The Lady” recently, and apart from having this in my laptop folder of “Based on true stories” this has also become one of the best movies I have ever watched. I remember watching it thrice by now.
The lady is a movie about the Burmese opposition leader, by Luc Besson, starring the beautiful Michelle Yeoh, who stands in the shoes of another beautiful woman, Aung San Suu kyi.

Aung San Suu Kyi is the head of the National League for Democracy of Myanmar. She stayed under house arrest for almost two decades fighting for her people. She is also a Noble Peace Prize laureate of 1991. Although, on given a chance to go back to her husband to England, she decides to stay back fighting for the rights, in a calm way. Aung San Suu Kyi is considered a Burmese democracy icon and she is one of the strongest living voices for freedom and justice in the world.
This movie also tells us a love story of this woman with her love, Dr. Michael Aris along with her love for her country.
Michelle Yeoh, perfectly fits into it and makes a movie a credible one. Indeed, I have grown full respect for this Asian laureate after seeing her through Yeoh.
Yeoh is a Malaysian, and an actress who has skills on martial arts as well.
The lady is a movie that teaches one a lot. I have learnt a lot as well. see if you must!

     ´According to MacEdward Leach (SDFML 1984:401-402), “Folklore is the generic term designate the customs, beliefs, traditions, tales, magical practices. Proverbs, songs etc.,;         Tales have been taken over by movies and animations today. But, on the other side of the region where there are no buildings and fresh green grasses breathe, orature- an art of passing down tales from word to mouth is practiced.  The first man to narrate. Amazing man indeed!       Folk literature is a module or subject we learn here in Sherubtse, Kanglung. It is about discovering and learning about old stuffs like, Folktales and folk materials.

Well as I have mentioned in my previous posts that I am fond of writing (scribbling or articles), in this time I would want to mention about English. Yes, I love English! I have been in love with it for years now. I remember one of the lines I read in one of R.K. Narayan’s works as I start to write this, “English is my mother tongue, even though my mother doesn’t know a word of it...” I love Hollywood movies of any genres but most I prefer are movies that inspired from true stories. Some of my favourites from what I have watched are, The Lady, King’s Speech, Freedom Writers, The Book Thief and many others. But, I tell you I love watching movies with subtitles. I love watching movies with subtitles because, I love speaking along with the characters in the movies, the tone, intonation, accent and everything of the way they speak. Anyone can be witty or intelligent! I love witty and intelligent people but only if they speak just too well in English. When I say well speakers here, I...

Tika: Of Womanhood and Hardships. Women are beautiful creatures. Not only by the way they seem but also for what they do for the rest of the world. It takes a woman to make a home out of empty rooms and silent walls. The nature of woman is of nurturing like of a circle that has no end. She’s a perfect companion in the shoes of a sister. The best half, when she’s a lover. And, when she is a mother, no one in the world can defeat her from being the best protector. Even without physical strength, a mother has the courage and the bravery to endure all hardships that comes from her body or the world. A woman’s love and care is so selfless that can win over any battle and leaves no word to describe.  Tika Maya Tika Maya is a sweeper in the hostels of Sherubtse College, Kanglung.
