Unoloukik: Moribar Holo Taar Shwaad (2021) Season 1, Episode 1

An world class Bangladeshi TV show I watched in a very long time

[10/10 · 19 May 2022]

I've not watched any new Bengali TV shows in the last 20 years. But I still watch Pather Panchali, Golpo Holeo Shotti (1966) Apur Sansar, Bohubrihi, etc.. For the last 20 years, I have been watching mostly Hollywood, Bollywood, Iranian and Korean movies. Watched movies such as Life is beautiful, Taste of Cherry, The Shawshank Redemption, Good will hunting, Beautiful Mind, The pursuit of happiness and so on... Lately only watchable Hollywood movies have been the ones based on superheroes. No movies or even TV shows have been able to dazzle me of late. But I am so impressed with the first episode of Unoloukik that I decided to take the time to write this review. From dialogue to cinematography to acting and direction - it was world class. And it does appeal you on an intellectual level too.

I have only a single complain about the first episode. It's the lead actor's narration part. They were appealing but could have been made even better. But that's just me nitpicking. Highly recommended. Can't wait to watch the whole series.

Michael Palin's Hemingway Adventure (1999– )

A great documentary

[10/10 · 30 May 2021]

I read a short story by Earnest Hemingway when I was 1st year student of Computer Science and Engineering in 1997. The name of the story was 'Snow of Kilimanjaro'. It touched me. I thought I would read more of his novels stories but then I became too addicted to digital media.

Today 24 years later, I stumbled upon Michael Palin's Hemingway Adventure and started to watch this. I think Michael Palin is the one I could easily connect to throughout documentaries. And each episode of the documentary is filled with fun and facts about Hemingway. Even if you are not interested in Hemingway, you will enjoy this documentary.
