War Isn't The Answer

The war has been waged. Dead bodies lie everywhere. Not a complete silence though. Guns tottering, bombs blasting, armor trucks screeching in the vacant highways and heavy thumping of military boots are the only sounds.
Both the sides battling over a small dispute but their egos terribly hurt. Only to prove more powerful than the other, both the sides are fighting over a microscopic cause. The fact that many innocents, kids and handicapped people suffer the worst has been ignored. None of the sides is willing to give up, no matter how many more lives is at stake.
Eventually when the war ends, one will surely emerge as the victorious. But would that victory be a divine achievement? The worst of evil, killing has been done and in return, several people have been killed from the other side. Many hopes have been devastated: dreams shattered, boon turned into curse, health turned into disease and most importantly a loss in the form of victory.
Why is human so foolish? Why are they so stupid and why do they seem to be so pathetic? Can anyone savor such accomplishment by causing inhumane consequences to the one who loses the battle? When would human learn to leave in harmony? Why would they want to kill themselves in the course of maintaining peace? And would such peace prevail for ever?
Now it’s about time for all of us to turn a deaf ear when someone is really mad at you, provoking you, poking at you. Now the time has changed and this is the time when and where a coward would have to be called a wise and brave one. Running away from quarrels would not bring brutal killings and massacres and thus a war can be avoided. In fact, the time has come for everyone to stop sabotaging the ones disliked. Those classes which used to be termed as brave and courageous should be tagged as foolish and stupid at least when there is a terrible misunderstanding between the two and the war is on the verge of breaking out. It’s very true and has been proved that those bravery and courageousness, only bring and create more misery among human hood.
Let us all keep “war is not the answer” in our mind and soul.

Rambo - IV

Rambo is back. One of the most action packed character in the world of cinema Rambo is out for the fourth time.

The theme of the movie is similar to the previous ones. A group of health assistants are taken as captives by a cruel Burmese , so called freedom fighter who is set out to create his own territory. Rambo is hired by the group of medical staffs to guide them to the village. At first Rambo denies eventually offering them some help. When those medical volunteers do not return when they were supposed to, Rambo then has to guide a group of five commando fighters who are assigned to rescue the medical team.

I really loved the movies but this one too could not be left aside with the new technology of animation. The jungle blast sequence is the one which I did not like at all. The scene when Rambo shows up when some innocents were about to be killed is a good one and this has the usual Rambo ethics.

Compared to the previous editions of Rambo, this however is not that boring but doesn't meet up the expectations. This Rambo-IV is not as good as the previous three parts but it's ok. I always loved Rambo and that is why this is not that dull. It's a good one for me. If I ever had to rate this one I would probably give it a 7 out of 10.
