		While some of these films are not very accurate or good, a few are excellent and effectively recreate the environment and compelling issues that people living in British India faced at different moments in their history.
		And since films are the media through which much of the general public gain their impressions of British India and other parts of South Asia, they are worthy of consideration by historians for that reason alone.
		Filming began in 2003 and the opening scene was launched by Charles, Prince of Wales during his state visit to India.

	HIST 217 Modern South Asia: Film List
		The film is a gritty and disturbing look at the pimps, prostitutes, pushers, addicts, hustlers, and the legions of street children struggling to survive on the streets of modern India.
		The film is set in a village in Punjab in which Ayesha, a middle-aged widow still haunted by the ghosts of Partition, soon watches her teenage son succumb to the forces of radical Islam.
		However, the young Indians she casts in the film reflect a self-centered and materialistic generation that, at first, cannot relate to the patriotism and sacrifice of the characters they portray.

		New films about Rwanda's genocide grapple with the meaning of an event that for Rwandans themselves is far from resolved.
		After the film premiered in 1978, interest in the subject soared in America, and in Germany public reaction to the series caused the government to cancel the statute of limitations on prosecuting Nazi war criminals.
		Neither film, however, offers a definitive take on the most volatile questions about the genocide-for example, the extent (and justice) of the abuses committed by Tutsi-rebel forces, the RPF, against Hutu that many allege took place after the genocide.

		This film was not only the best film of 1997, but also one of the best I've seen from the 1990's.
		This film was perhaps the biggest surprise to me. Nothing was as it seemed in this noir-esque thriller about Hank (Paxton) and Jacob (Thornton) Mitchell who, with Jacob's friend Lou Chambers, find a crashed plane out in the woods filled with $4.4 million.

		Its use of science is sketchy at best - light-speed travel is dealt with by the use of a "hyperspace" where the normal laws of physics don't seem to apply and force-wielding Jedi fight with theoretically impossible lightsabers - but the emphasis here is certainly not on answering the problems of the human condition.
		One of a few films to deal with problems of time travel, such as the grandfather paradox: if you travel back in time and kill your grandfather, you wouldn't exist so wouldn't be able to travel back in time to...
		The science behind the fiction is conspicuously absent, being replaced with the permanently befuddled Keanu Reeves stumbling around being confused by nonsense about spoons, and jumping off buildings.

		This list is by no means exhaustive, but it will give you lots of ideas for films to show at cell meetings, for public events, or as a means to brainwash conservative youth that you kidnapped from Boy Scout outings.
		Of course, any film can be watched and deconstructed for its lessons about race, class, gender and power, but these films make those discussions a little easier.
		Based on Crisp's best-selling memoirs, the film is touching and inspiring in its view of one man's struggle to live his life.

		Since many constructed languages have a fictional background, this description is complicated by not being able to use possible descriptive terms such as "human language" which would be descriptive, if it were not prejudicial to the Alien conlangs.
		The list, despite its title, is not specifically limited to Elvish languages; discussion of Mannish and Dwarvish tongues, of the so-called "minor" languages, and of proto-languages derived by reconstruction based on the published languages, is encouraged.
		The list operates under the belief that the created languages of Tolkien fully merit scholarly and technical study as language systems in their own right, and as an outstanding example of language-creation for aesthetic and artistic purposes (glossopoesy), quite apart from the study of Tolkien's work within the field of literary criticism.

		Rather, the film shows us phases and stages of his life, from his childhood to his career as a concert performer, his hobbies - the stock market, humour, travel, and experimental radio broadcasts - and his last days, when he complained to friends and relatives of his apprehension of death.
		This is a totally original film that incorporates marvelous acting, densely-layered cinematography, and a variety of technical and emotional details seamlessly.
		The structure of the film is based on the structure of the piece that Glenn Gould is most famous for playing, Bach's Goldberg Variations.

		Like practically every other small town depicted on film, director Jay Craven's fictional Kingdom County, Vermont, is overflowing with eccentrics, racists, and, well, racist eccentrics.
		The film then mutates in a slightly off courtroom drama, with Henry Gibson as a sheriff's flunky (doing the threatening but comic schtick he's been doing so well since Nashville) and an unrecognizable, bearded Martin Sheen in a cameo as an elitist out-of-town prosecutor.
		It shines most brightly in the shimmering shafts of soft light that fall through the chapel's windows and the loose planks of wood in Resolved's barn; in the nameless, silent mural painter that opens and closes the film (like bookends on a tall tale that's all too real); and even during a frenzied cockfight.
