An incredibly moving at the same time gut wrenching story about our survival instinct depicted in a remarkably powerful manner.

In 1999 my school teacher had told me this story. This story has stayed with me since then and once I watched this movie I realised that she was fairly accurate in her narration

It is a movie which is a testament of human spirit is all that I want to say about the plot even though it would be a mistake to call such a story as a plot. All the actors have done a top notch job. The camera work and direction is excellent. You really get involved in their effort to survive and so badly want them to survive. This movie connects at a human level irrespective of your culture. This movie provokes your moral compass too. To what extent you will go to survive,?does survival mean anything.?Who truly survived.? There are so many questions that you feel will forever remain unanswered. At the end though your are relieved.

You can't miss this movie even if you are not an adventure buff. It is worth every breath.

The english football team of 2004-2006 was the golden generation and ronney was the golden boy of that generation. I have been following rooney since his star performance in EURO 2004, How he impressed ferguson and moved to united and made history. But this documentary throws lights on many other aspects of his life. His nature, his raw talent, his character and his opinion on all that he has done on and off the field including acceptance and justification. Perhaps nothing in rooney's life is not known but nevertheless it is a good watch. Rooney was a damn agressive, strong, skilled and definitely a great team player. It felt that rooney knew he was a great player even before starting his club football career. I also liked the interviews of gary neville. The documentary was very nostalgic too. I still remeber the 2006 quarter final red card against portugal.

This documentary is not just about rooney but i think this is about any star sports person. Their perspectives, their challenges and all they need to endure being a star including their rise, their ups and downs and their final innings of hanging their boots and moving on to new things in life.

Even though this movie was suggested to me by my friend in 2009, I ended up watching it in 2019. Oh boy, what was I waiting for. This story revolves around the 8 year kid called Bruno who is instinctively an explorer and he depicts it (in nazi Germany). A set of events lead the family of this boy to leave their city Berlin and move to a far away country side of Germany . This journey gives you clues that the place is in some sense haunting (won't reveal any more ). Bruno continues with his pursuit of adventure over there through which he finds a 8 year old Friend . The climax is for you to see . This movie is not as much about the Holocaust but about human emotions, about the innocence of children ,why the grace and good nature of women is taking care of this world , the monster in every men and how life can be a Frankenstein . This movie will stay with you for a long time , will anguish you , will hearten you and will make u ponder .Must watch . Go with 4.5/5 . PS: I would suggest that you watch Schindler's list and pianist before watching this . Will help you appreciate this movie better
