Beyond Borders--Unsung Heroes..

2003 released Martin Campbell film.."Beyond Borders." Theres something abt this movie that touched a raw nerve smwhere..and keeps touching the same spot everytime i wud get to catch a rerun on it.

Angelina Jolie n Clive Owen r both favourites in their own way.. and believe it or not.. when i first saw the "Lara Croft " flicks of angie, i always felt she would fit the character of "Modesty Blaise" to the boots as well..!

Anyway.. the movie has a completely different theme portrayed ..Its about the turmoils of 2 starcrossed lovers..who just by the hands of destiny cross each other..as aid workers..aides putting their life in the line for millions in need, across the war afflicted , politically vandalized hot spots around the globe..

What moves one..is that there r thousands of unsung heroes across the world.. even as we speak ..working end to end ..dedicating their lives to relief efforts, in this war/politics/corruption-torn world..be it etheopia..be it sm other far end of russia or combodia or even so many other areas that wud normally not be spotted easily n the map..the movie shows a few such spots..but am talking abt so many others ..why even in our country..that we wont know of without print/media coverage on it..

Its a good thing that they are there to help those who need them.. but..there are also so many factors which oppose their efforts..they risk their lives to bring relief to some.. to keep others alive..

Corruption..political vendetta..abuse of power..all aside..basic fact that is becoming sadly prominent by the day ..is that ..we as humans are degressing to what we once evolved from..going back to square one..

We are the supreme of the species here..true.. evolutionally thats the fact..but look at our downside.. we have a loophole.. singularly pointing out.. Greed..thats the crux..
From greed it goes to want..and theres never enough to call it enough..

Starving people are left to die when we fight over who's in bigger power.. and its just one aspect of it.. we cant even count how many other issues can b considered while talking about "what -is- wrong -with -us."...

Anyway.. the positive side is.. its from our species itself.. that some are still unperturbed..touched.. and doing their best..effortlessly.. unconditionally.. despite all odds, for brotherhood..

There are so many of these people.. with a good stable life /career/education/ social status in the background..just up themselves and jump in to make other lives survive.. without looking back. They dont mind being in the shadow as long as they acheive their objective of life..to help one in need.

They teach us how to be optimistic and keep giving without counting the returns..

They make it possible..to believe that theres still good alongside bad..and that light n dark co-exist..

Lovely film with a reference to what happens in reality. It did turn my life a bit.. albeit in a small way.. but the raw nerve still ticks.

Though not seen the movie , but Anu your review and comments about it give a complete picture of what the movie is all about ! A very unusual theme of AID workers , their efforts to help the needy and the obstacles faced by them !

You did a great job Anu by bringing such meaningful picture to our notice !

Beyond Borders

Yes it is a very novice film

showing we human as super species performing beyond our capabilities

Superbly charged.Oppression, cruely, corruption are every where and the unsung simple hero are the real performeers

Regards

excellent work

A LOVELY MORAL TALE.A SELFLESS APPROACH TO
LIFE IS RARE WITH PEOPLE TO LIVE WITH.IT HAS
BECOME TOO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO COME TO TERMS
TO TO GOOD WORK FOR OTHERS WHEN THEY KNOW
THAT THEY ARE SO COMFORTABLY POISED.

I THEREFORE STRONGLY COMMEND THOSE HEROES WHO
HAVE HAD & NOW TOO IN THE FRONTLINE TO SAFE
GUARD THE INTERESTS OF ALL OTHERS WITH NO
EXPECTATIONS OF ANY RETURNS.

TRULY WHOLE HEARTED HATS OFF TO THESE TREMENDOUSLY POTENT UNSUNG HEROES OF THE
WORLD OVER.

THANKS FOR SHARING A WONDERFUL EYE OPENER
TO ALL OF US BY YOUR SPLENDID POST.
