Flash of genius

Robert Kearns is a a Father of six children and happily married to his wife Phyllis. One day while he was driving his car, he paid more attention to the wind blades for his car, while the rain was pouring down. He realised how irritating the wind blades were with their constant movement, and how it did not make it easy for him at all to see the road in front of him. Being an engineer, he takes it into consideration and starts coming up with ideas and ways to develop the wind blades further. His basement becomes his workshop, which he uses on a daily basis to work on his wind blades. He successful develops a set of wind blades which move every few seconds, and not continuously like they have normally been used to function. 

He realises that all cars could take advantage of these wind blades, and decided to take his invention to Ford's company, to demonstrates what he has achieved. Ford became quite impressed with what Robert had to offer, and was willing to plan to contribute his secrets to them for a deal. Ford requests for a list of manufacturing objects which helped developing these wind blades and a costs unit for each. Robert is told to wait for a reply from ford.

However time passes by, and Robert never hears from Ford again. After a couple of years,while driving his car, and stopping at the traffic lights, he notices a ford related car passing by in the opposite lane with the same wind blade function as his. He becomes Impatient and frustrated, and decides to go to the ford dealers convention to see what is going on. He suddenly realises that Ford had stolen his wind wiper idea for their new car models without providing him any credit/benefit or deal payment. He becomes very disturbed from what he saw and discovered. He starts so set up legal attributes.....and from there you would have to watch the movie in order to find out the ending. It is a movie based on real life, which makes it more interesting too. It is quite funny how you can find out how certain major manufacturers steal another's idea without making a deal with them and giving them credit for it. It is sad to hear news like this, but what can i say it happens, and it makes us humans more careful about our ideas and developments that we acquire.

The Hurt Locker

The hurt locker is about a group of bomb technicians whom volunteer to take up the challenges set aside for them in Baghdad, Iraq. They are a part of a bomb squad, with their ideal task being to look out for bombs, handmade bombs around the city and disarm them. Making the place a safer environment and surrounding for the people. Both the Iraqis and the Americans. It is a very dangerous job and very risk taking, as it involves getting as close as possible to these bombs and trying to disarming them in any case and situation with random people watching throughout the streets. One wrong move, and your dead. Sadly the team leader dies in one of the incidents, and the team is forced to take upon their new leader, William James whose confidence arises so much they start to dislike him. He acts unsafely and disturbingly at times but even though with all his attitude, he stands out to be a very brave and clever member. You start to feel the tension between the members because of this when sergeant James suddenly became in charge as they're not used to have a leader with such behavioral manners in such a dangerous place.

I think it is an interesting story, because the movie is partly based upon real events as well, which makes it more heart pounding. And every bomb they disarm is very risk taking so it keeps you actively watching. It shows how important a team leader really is in the role he/she is playing. It is a great movie to watch and to remember how some individuals jobs are so dangerous, that they might risk their own life to help the surrounding.

The Reader

The reader is such a beautiful and dramatic movie. It takes place in Germany in the 1950's. Kate Winslet plays a woman named Hannah Schmitz, whom starts having an affair with a much younger boy named Michael Berg. The two met at a time in the street, while Michael was feeling very ill, and she helped him. After the boy, decided to thank her for her generosity they started to have this loving affair which would soon become a long lasting memory both of them would not live without. However, Hanna was always interested in having books being read to her, on a daily basis Michael would go running from school to her home for them to enjoy the company of another another, make love and Michael to read to Hanna which she so terribly liked. However soon enough, a twist occurs and the Hanna completely disappears from his life. Over time, Michael starts studying Law at the university and the next time he sees Hanna is at an unexpected court trial where she is being charged. She is sent to prison, for life sentence because she was shamefully embarrassed of telling her secret she has been holding on too so long, even never having told michael himself. In the movie, it shows when Michael is much older and how his not able to let go of Hanna, his past.

All in all, this movie grabs you, and it makes you think how some people are not able to admit something they are very ashamed of, a secret to oneself that would never be told, not even if your own life would be harmed and restricted. It is a book which has been beautifully written by Bernhard Schlink, and turned into a movie.

Eagle Eye

I have had this movie at home, but I never actually got around to watching it. I have just recently become interested in watching action movies so I thought about enjoying this one. It was such a suspense right from the start and It never got boring throughout the movie, as everything in fast action and its got an awesome story plot. Mysterious things and situations start to occur after Jerry Shaw's twin brother dies. One morning he enters hes apartment and finds the whole place stacked with boxes filled with weapons, and none of it belongs to him. Including several fake passports of him, which means that whoever planned this out was purposely wanting him involved. Then strange phone calls starts to phone Jerry telling him what hes next move will be and hes got no choice but to follow unless he wants to end up dead. The same situation occurs to a single mother, Rachel Holloman and she is forced in the same circle that Jerry is in to cooperate otherwise her son's life is in danger. The police are involved and they portray Jerry and Rachel as terrorists from all the actions they are causing. But actually both of them don't know who is behind those nasty phone calls, and why just them but they are trapped to put their life on hold and listen and obey these calls' directions. This is movie that takes you on a spin, and overall I would much recommend this to all action fans. Here's a link to the trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFrSFoHWKM8.
