I don’t know why i even wanted to review this particular movie, though it was not upto the mark in my opinion if it comes to story or direction but well patriot that i am i really wanted to mention it, just a glimpse of what the western media wanted to convey to Pakistan.

“A Mighty Heart” is a Hollywood film based on a true story about the tragic incident of an American born Jewish journalist Daniel Pearl who was kidnapped from Karachi and than later murdered.Its cast includes Angelina Jolie as Marriane Pearl and ( not to forget a portion of role from Adnan Siddiqui and Sajid Hassan (the two top actors in the Pakistan Tele Media)).The movie is taken from Marriane Pearl’s own book with the same name that she later penned down after the murder of her husband which is than filmed into the afro mentioned Movie.

The movie as i saw it was all about plenty of questions that lead to Daniel Pearl’s murder, the journalist is shown as a decent man who went far from his job to interview an Islamic Fundamentalist Sheikh Gillani that in the end turned out to be a plot designed by Ahmed Omer Sheikh (the guy who was released from an Indian jail after a hostage swap between the indian government for the hundreds of hostages in a hijacked plane way back in year 2000) who is later captured and commits the fact that his fellows killed him just because he was a Jew, and that American’s are not treating the prisoner’s at Guantanamo Bay humanly.An evidence video tape than later confirms the death of Daniel Pearl.

What i took from the movie was that it was not just a movie but a message to Pakistan about how evil our society is, how weird our thinking is specially when the Indian Journalist is termed as an Indian Spy and Daniel as the agent of Moosad in the movie. They also kept on doing sarcasm over the way the intelligence agencies in Pakistan carry out the proceedings of an investigation neglecting the fact that they tried there level best and finally reached the criminals but after the journalist was murdered. Only the ending of the movie and a few words from Angelina Jolie (Marriane Pearl) made my day when she said something in an interview with the CNN not blaming the country or a race or a portion of people from some religion to be behind her husbands death but an International and Un-Human groups of people responsible while she leaves the country as a widow to continue with her remaining life.

I don’t have much problem with the movie, but respect is what they missed which should have been there. Not much more to say.!!! Won’t recommend the movie even!
