Mungkin ramai yg dah bosan tgk movie2 English & Melayu. So, ape kate korang luangkan masa utk menonton movie2 dalam bahasa2 lain spt yg aku post kat entry ni. Aku guarantee yg korang takkan menyesal menonton movie2 ni. Enjoy.
1) ROAD TO GUANTANAMO (ENGLISH LANGUAGE)
This movie is based on true events.
Synopsis: Not long after the event of 9/11 in year 2001, a British born Pakistani named Asif Iqbal went to his village in Pakistan to meet his future wife as his mother insisted. He agreed to marry the girl & decided to get married in Pakistan. So, he invited his 3 close friends who are a British born Pakistani named Shafiq Rasul & 2 British born Bangladeshis named Ruhal Ahmed & Monir to attend his wedding. However, before the wedding, they all decided to go to Afghanistan to see the situation in the country. Out of their expectations, Afghanistan was being bombed by the American forces in retaliation for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Once there, with the loss of Monir in the wartime chaos, they were captured by Northern Alliance fighters. They were then handed over to the American forces who transported them to the prison camps at the Guantanamo Bay base in Cuba. What followed was three years of relentless imprisonment, interrogations and torture to make them submit to blatantly wrong confessions to being terrorists. In the midst of this abuse, the three struggled to keep their spirits up in that face of this grave injustice.
2) OSAMA (DARI/AFGHANISTAN LANGUAGE with ENGLISH SUBTITLES)
Synopsis: A 12-year-old Afghan girl and her mother lose their jobs when the Taliban closes the hospital where they work. The Taliban have also forbidden women to leave their houses without a male "legal companion." With her husband and uncle dead, having been killed in battle during the Soviet invasion and their civil wars, there are no men left to support the family. Unable to leave the house without fear of arrest and torture, the mother is left with nowhere to turn. With no other choice, and inspired by a story her mother tells about a boy who went under a rainbow and became a girl, she disguises her daughter as a boy named 'Osama'. Osama manages to secure a job at the local chai tea shop, but 'his' effeminate ways quickly arouse suspicion among the other boys. Eventually, in a drive to collect soldiers, the local boys, including Osama, are taken from their homes or work by the Taliban to be trained as soldiers. At the training school, they are taught how to fight and conduct ablutions, and Osama realizes it can only be so long before she is found out.
3) SAINT MARY (PERSIAN/IRAN LANGUAGE with ENGLISH SUBTITLES)
Synopsis: Sebuah filem yg mengisahkan tentang sejarah hidup Maryam a.s sejak kelahirannya sehinggalah kelahiran Nabi Isa a.s dalam versi Islam/Al-Quran. Sebuah filem yang amat menarik & perlu ditonton.
4) CHILDREN OF HEAVEN (PERSIAN/IRAN LANGUAGE with ENGLISH SUBTITLES)
Synopsis: Ali takes his little sister Zahra's shoes to the shoemaker to be repaired, but loses them on the way home. The siblings decide to keep the predicament a secret from their parents, knowing that there is no money to buy a replacement pair and fearing that they will be punished. They devise a scheme to share Ali's sneakers: Zahra will wear them to school in the morning and hand them off to Ali at midday so he can attend afternoon classes. This uncomfortable arrangement leads to one adventure after another as they attempt to hide the plan from their parents and teachers, attend to their schoolwork and errands, and acquire a new pair of shoes for Zahra.
