Mah e Mir

this movie is a masterpiece and should be studied in world cinema classes around the world, yet something about it so innately Pakistani that its true brilliance simply cant reach someone not of this land. also you need a masters degree in Urdu to understand most of the dialogue in the film, that just cannot be translated for better or for worse. for example "chup chaap galiyon mein roti hai" translated, this says she cries in silent streets or she cries silently in streets or the streets are crying silently or..... you get the idea. its like this for most of the dialogue and Mir's poetry (which serves as voice over for large portions of the film) has literally been studied for centuries and has hundreds of interpretations. regardless this film hauntingly beautiful and definitely worth a watch. 10616
