North by Northwest:
My favorite classic Hitchcock movie.
The casting, acting is top notch & the sets in this movie are truly memorable.
The UN building, crop dusting and Mount Rushmore scenes are breathtaking both visually and for raw tension. 10 out of 10.
The Giant Buddha’s:
Smart, thoughtful, convoluted documentary (for its many inner stories.)
It never tells the history of the giant Buddha’s instead maker Christian Frei’s treats the Buddha’s as symbols of Afghanistan's devastated cultural heritage. The most surprising and fascinating question in the film is this: why did the world care so much about these statues but not to the living people in Afghanistan?
