Kandahar, Anatahan, X Movie

Watched three movies as mentioned above.

Kandahar

• This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video.
• Movie is shot in Saudi Arabia which has been passed off as Afghanistan.
• Saudi wants to be a hub of film making as was found out from Google.
• Movie does "Iran bashing" like it is favorite pastime of Westerners and Arabs alike.
• But Afghanistan is where the action happens.
• I guess four forces NATO, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran are shown in the movie.
• Plot is loose. 
• Iran nuclear sector is target but it is shown that it is so easy to take it out.
• If that is the case then no nuclear country or plant is safe from such kind of attack.
• Pakistan is shown as a state which works for the highest bidder, it may not be so.
• Also though NATO has withdrawn from Afghanistan in the movie they still have air superiority is shown. 
• Maybe they are operating drones from Qatar or Oman or Saudi or from warships in the Indian Ocean it is not shown.
  

The Saga of Anatahan

• The story of Anatahan I read through one Youtube video.
• Then Googled it and found out that it is just an unbelievable story.
• Where a lone Japanese woman is trapped in an island with more than two dozen Japanese men.
• How they survive for years in the island thinking their nation Japan would be victorious and did not believe that Japan has surrendered.
• I found out there is movie made by a German director in Kyoto in early 1950's the saga of Anatahan and watched it in Dailymotion.
• It is just unbelievable movie. Must watch.
  

X Movie

• This is a too good slasher/horror movie.
• Watched on Amazon Prime Video.
  
• The Director has done great job to bring the 1970's to life.
• I will say if not for Jenna Ortega one might have thought this is a 1970's movie.
• Everything from end credits to beginning credits it feels like 1970's movie.
• 1970's movie would have references to World War 1 and 2 and Korean War.
• 1980's and early 1990's movie would have references to Vietnam War.
• Late 1990's onwards have references to Gulf War and Wars in the middle east.
• Now there would be no reference to any new war as if war goes nuclear it is the end of the world as we know it.
  
• But coming back to the movie, people die in variety of ways, stabbing, gored by pitch fork, shot, eaten by crocodile, crushed by car, heart attack, etc.
• Worth watching this classic.
