RIFLE RANGE BOY

Noah (2014) The forbidden fruit always taste sweeter, they say. This film is banned in many Muslim countries as it is not acceptable for a human being to portray a prophet. From a production viewpoint, I think the film is of high quality with complex computerised graphic imaging. The main character, i.e. Noah, is made to appear very human and complexed.

Gone are the days, when judges and leaders were respected for the wisdom and virtues. With easy accessibility of information and perhaps because of our educational improvement, we are able to make our own assessments and judgements on situations. Anyway part of the reason of the decline of respect to them is general decline in the standards in every field in this country. http://www.trust.org/item/20130521123932-o09qu
