Machine
This was seen on the big screen of Carnival Cinemas in Rockine Mall using www.moviecard.com
This movie is great. Totally shot in Georgia. Directors are Abbas Mustan and came to know from KRK review on Youtube that the hero is Abbas's son. This movie has got shades of Baazigar movie. I liked it.

Beauty and The Beast
This was seen on the big screen of Carnival Cinemas in Rockine Mall using www.moviecard.com
This movie I believe is a "timeless" movie.
Who is the 'beast' in the movie? We can say that the beast in the movie is 'the other', the one which we fear. Why do we fear 'the other'? We fear the other because we do not know about it or them.
The other can be anyone. In the present day and age we can say the other is "Islam" and beauty is us or the ones who are following western culture.
We do not need to fear the Beast. The Beast is not there to get to us.
The Beast is just like us and in many case is better than us.
So we need to love the Beast. That is the conclusion we can draw from the movie.
Also the Beast is relative. From a Western view the Beast can be Islam or Asian or Hindu.
From White view they can be Blacks or Mexicans or Indian.
From Islamic view it can be Jew or Hindu or Buddhist.
From Hindu view it can be Buddhist or Sikh or Muslim.
"The other" is relative to person or culture or location. And The Beast needs to be love. If we love we are Beauty. If we do not love then we become the Beast. And then somebody has to love us to make us beautiful or normal again.
