MY VIEWS ON BLACK SHACK ALLEY

I normally don't like subtitled movies, especially when its action and you want to see all the  detailed nonstop special effects. This movie didn't loose its essence, even although it was subtitled, the language works, and it helps the feeling of the environment becomes more powerful, a foreign land speaking an unknown tongue, i like that.  The acting and humour was ok i guess but the story was a good one, poverty, suffering, colonization and a means to getting better was throughout the entire movie. The struggle to make one's life better was loud and clear. My favourite actor was the old man that died, his words were moving, almost like the wise grand daddy of them all. In the modern day there isnt that neighbourhood harmony that i saw in the movie, they look out for their own, almost like a tribe, i like that, we now are selfish  and hardly even look out for our own. The movie shows an unending love that a grandmother has for her grandson and her struggles were felt, she reminds me of some mom's these days at least we still have mom's like that around, We need them, strict, hardworking and loving,  she worked a little harder than the average mom because she knew that her life and every sweat of it was to make sure her grandson had a fighting chance in the education system, she understood that education was the key to success in that world she lived in, and if it took her life she wont mind. Although they used to work so hard they still had time to party and dance, i would have been sleeping so hard and although it was a kind of slavery they still sung and rejoiced and gave thanks and knew that in death they would be free from suffering, i liked that. We nowadays are slaves to our mindsets, and they were slaves to their masters and beaten and still found time to rejoice and humble themselves. We nowadays have it so good and argue at everything and think we will live like this forever, fearing death, A dead man tells no tales, he is dead, OVER ALL  the movie was good, funny, sad, powerful, inspirational
