Paatallok Conclusion, De Gaulle Documentary

 Watched several things over the past few days. Just recollecting a few as below. Obviously did not watch any movies. It is only series and documentaries.

Paatallok Conclusion

  • This series was concluded on Amazon Prime.
  • I felt this series runs around and needed to be concluded somehow.
  • But the producer/director brought the "love of dogs" equation into the picture.
  • But if their aim was to get rid of Vishal Tyagi they could have got rid anyway.
  • But they had bigger plans.
  • After the death of the elusive rebel, they did not have a choice.
  • And they thought of going big.
  • But I do not understand how a plot hatched to eliminate someone and blame on Pakistan falsely can propel a new party to national limelight.
  • Maybe the plot was more complex. I did not get it.
  • But anyway I am not watching it again.

De Gaulle Documentary

  • This documentary was watched on TV5 Monde French Channel with English subtitles.
  • What I have to say De Gaulle lived a life which was never without a "dull moment".
  • Every second, every month and year of his life was eventful.
  • He was the person who made modern France as it is today.
  • He transitioned the country from First World War to Second World War to the end of France overseas colonies.
  • He was a true person who was not afraid of any country or person.
  • In Second World War during taking refuge in Britain he used to argue and fight with Chuchill all the time. 
  • He was friends with all leaders he came across in his life.
  • He strove to keep France free from American influence and keep unique French identity.
  • France is more than just language. It is different to Anglo Saxons.
  • He was supporter of rights of Quebec and Mexico and other weaker countries.
  • He brought about a smooth transition and transfer of power in Algeria and repatriated more than 1 million  disgruntled French occupiers who were claiming Algeria as their own.
  • Overall worth watching.
  • He has dealt with all persons starting from Churchill to Stalin to Castro to Kennedy to Kruschev.
  • I will say they do not make people like them De Gaulle no more.
  • Truly a great man. A man from different times.
