I HAVE been kind of slow this week, not posting as
regularly.
One reason
was, I am recovering from the malarial attack from last week and am taking
things slow.
The other is
that I have been tidying up the description of the short Moroccan film “Amal”.
Last night
I went over the 17-minute long film again and noted certain important dialogues
and actions that I did not include, or did not correctly describe.
You know,
when people say, good books can turn your life around – well, good films/movies
have the same effect. (Note that the converse of this line is also true).
Among
other things, the exercise has enabled me to complete my first “novelise a film”
exercise.
The film
has also made Africa, particularly North Africa appealing.
And
lastly, it has helped me learn a few words in Moroccan Arabic – usually called
Darija.
