Jul 27, 2012. Suzana. From Burundi. Apart from freaking me out listening to the lovely singing of my name, I love this movie. Ah. I feel they made this movie for me.

Hotel Rwanda. Harrowing movie made from the fact of the Rwandan genocide in 1994. This is the story of heroism and refusal to accept death as the only outcome.

Frequently I need to listen to Australian voices so I can assure myself that I really did grow up in Australia. The plot for Youtube: "An investigation into a government cover-up leads to a network of
abandoned train tunnels deep beneath the heart of Sydney. As a
journalist and her crew hunt for the story it quickly becomes clear the
story is hunting them."

Jul 20, 2012.
Today is the anniversary of the first moon landing in 1969, when I was
in my last year of high school and we were all sent outside to watch on a
tiny black and white television the landing. I couldn't see anything,
but that didn't matter, it was happening and we were marking it.

Another Tamil movie. I can't get enough of these. Unfortunately the first vanished, but another one is below.

Movie from French director Mathieu Almaric. Made in 2010, got some awards. Great movie to relax by, after you have danced to the Tamil music above. Unfortunately the movie vanished, but it is worth finding if you can.
From Youtube: "On Tour (French: Tournée) is a 2010 French comedy film directed by
Mathieu Amalric. It stars Amalric himself as a producer who brings an
American Neo-Burlesque troupe to France, played by genuine performers
Mimi Le Meaux, Kitten on the Keys, Dirty Martini, Julie Atlas Muz, Evie
Lovelle and Roky Roulette. In a road movie narrative, the plot follows
the troupe as they tour French port cities with their show, which was
performed for actual audiences during the production. The inspiration
for the film was a book by Colette about her experience from music halls
in the early 20th century, and a part of Amalric's aim was to translate
the sentiment of the book to a modern setting.
The film premiered at
the 2010 Cannes Film Festival where it won the FIPRESCI Award, the
festival's main prize from film critics. Amalric also received the Best
Director Award."
