My hat off to Siphala Foundation for their noble project and set of fund raising events such as Hoppers /Sri Lankan food delivery projects.
Bambara Walalla,Nice move,Heh ,but I could not enjoy the movie.I was just watching serious of incidents opening in front of me ,with curiosity .That’s good, mean it had a good flow,a quality of a movie.But the theme I mean.
Specially the part before the interval it exposed the lowness of our social life .That was about 30-40 years ago I suppose, in a remote village.To my knowledge a village in our country 2 -3 decade s back were more attractive and simple .
The race on the paddy field were less known to anyone. Can someone tell me it was a part of Sri Lankan new year event or annual event like ALUTH SAHAL MANGALLYA?.As the race went on I had the feeling of something unfortunate will happen at the end. I had a shy of relief when the scene finished without killing anyone.Is anyone got the feeling like me?
Any way ,while I live in NZ, I would like to see a film with more attractive/ theme. A theme based on love, and a family story,like Duhulu Malak, Aradhana (Sinhala) and Gamperaliya and perasatumal are too old ,a film with a little bit of fun.( not MODA CHOON).I don’t know whether that type of films are made in SL now.( May be I am still old fashioned ,no go forward vadda)
Actually these films are made not to earn money in SL but to send or get selected for foreign film festivals. They like see more uncivilised side of a developing country like us. So directors are too eager to exaggerate little bit of lowlife of our society. Luckily this film was not popular in internationally like Slum Dog Millionaire which Indian expatriates hate.

THE GOOD HUSBAND
Posted by Dylan

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands free speaker-function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.
MAN : "Hello"
WOMAN: "Honey, it's me! Are you at the club?"
MAN: "Yes"
WOMAN: "I'm at the mall now and found this beautiful leather
coat. It's only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?"
MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much."
WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the
new 2008 models. I saw one I really liked."
MAN: "How much?"
WOMAN : "$65,000"
MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing, the house we wanted
last year is back on the market. They're asking $950,000."
MAN: "Well, then go ahead and give them an offer, but just offer $900,000."
WOMAN : "OK. I'll see you later! I love you!"
MAN : "Bye, I love you, too." The man hangs up.
The other men in the locker room are looking at him in astonishment. Then he smiles and asks: "Anyone know whose phone this is?

Time machine,Obama and the Canadian PM
President Obama and the Canadian PM are shown a time
machine which can see 50 years into the future.
They both decide to test it by asking a question each.
President Obama goes first: "What will the USA be like in 50 years’ time?
"The machine whirls and beeps and goes into action and gives him a printout, he reads it out: "The country is in good hands under the new president, José Fernandez.... crime is non-existent, there is no conflict, the economy is healthy.
Vice President Jin Tao has declared Chinese language mandatory in all USA schools. There are no worries.
"The Canadian PM thinks, "It's not bad, this time machine, I'll have a bit of that" so he asks:
"What will Canada be like in 50 years’ time?"
The machine whirls and beeps and goes into action, and he gets a printout. But he just stares at it.
"Come on, David," says Obama, "Tell us what it says."
"I can't! It's all in Tamil!"
