Unfreedom (2015)

Waste of time

Undescribable Perfection

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

MINOR SPOILERS"The film they don't want you to see"; because it's THAT bad. Okay, jokes apart, but this movie proves once and that knowing your way around camera and a good direction can only take you so far. Okay, I'm not entirely saying that the concept of this movie/the premise is not good. It's worthy enough, but they somehow screwed it up.Let's talk about some aspects of the movie.1. Pace. The pace of the movie is wrong in all the places. The points where you want a slow pace for dramatic effect, are rushed and vice versa. Also the scenes cut to the other stories exactly when they shouldn't. At least, that's how I felt. 2. Dialogue/Script. The dialogue is not utter garbage, but it's not good either. And the constant flawed delivery of it makes it worse. 3. Acting. The acting is ridiculous. Especially by the girl who plays the role of Sakhi. She has a constant bland expression on her face the entire time. Her expressionless face ruins it all for you. And it's not just her. None of the actors are any good. The best actors in the movie are sub-par at best. 4. Nudity. The movie doesn't understand the difference between tasteful and much needed nudity, and nudity that's just for show and is utterly useless. The latter one can be observed right from the beginning and it puts the movie off to a REALLY bad start. The former, however, works really well and you'll even be observing it in the most powerful scene of this movie. Right at the end. The first few scenes really felt forced, if anything. 5. Plot. The trailer makes all plots look really good. You get a feeling all of it would connect in the end, or come full circle, or SOMETHING. But does it? Nope. All plots, no matter how major or minor are separate from each other. There is literally no connection between them, which is disappointing to say the least. I wonder what was the point of all those minor plots then, especially of that girl who loses her child. I mean, did they just wanted to portray tragedy for no specific reason, or something? Would've been better if they focused on only the two main plots. Or better yet, made two separate stand- alone movies, each with one.I MAY BE partial, but the only plot out of them all that works well (enough) according to me, is the one that deals with sexuality issues in India. I mean, even that has its shortcomings, but it's the one that worked the best. It's sort of THE ONLY ONE that made it (almost) worth my time. The other (major) plot, the assassination one, didn't quite interest me. I'll even go as far as saying I didn't care for it AT ALL. Verdict. 5.5/10If you're strongly interested in any of the plots, like I was in the LGBT one, you'll like it. If neither of the (two major) plots interest you, skip it; you're not missing much.

The Movie "Unfreedom" just awesome. All the characters were too good to be praised. really an awesome movie.This movie shows the real meaning of present day society.The movie shows enough of blood shades,and enough of sexuality. Yes! it is not a movie for a kid but it shows the dark side of our SOCIETY.Where we are restricted with limited amount of choices still called as INDEPENDENT. We are free to do anything say independent to do anything but.....with a limited choices..then how can one say that we are free...we are independent...A must watch movie.People must know the ugly truth of the society.The movie should be rated as an adult movie but shouldn't be banned...

Here it goes... Those who don't watch it, wont miss anything.The Idea of the movie was good even if nothing fresh, but the movie making was completely lousy. Acting and Direction both lacked polish and it had a typical B-grade movie experience to it. Nude scenes when incorporated were unnecessary / out of context and felt like they were put there just for the sake of it. The screenplay has way too many plot holes and gaffes. People who are gay or lesbian or bi, they do not run around rubbing it in the face of other people to make themselves feel better. Lack of sophistication and finesse to handle sensitive issues often makes the performing characters look stupid. If you want to highlight some of the most prominent issues of our times, at least a sincere effort is expected.

Greetings again from the darkness. Societal mores are always slow to change, but the slow acceptance of new cultural ideals pales in comparison to the evolution of religious beliefs and traditions, which can take multiple millenniums for even the smallest revisions. First time director Raj Amit Kumar co-wrote the script with Damon J Taylor, and they seem anxious to point out the out-of-step status of Muslims in regards to both pacifism and sexual orientation.The structure of the film can be a bit tough to follow as a viewer since there are two seemingly unrelated stories, along with the corresponding flashbacks for character perspective. One story follows an angry idealist has he accepts his assignment for terrorism and travels from Pakistan to New York City. Mohammed Husain's (played by Bhanu Uday) mission is to coerce (a word much too nice for his actions) pacifist Muslim scholar Fareed Rahmani (Victor Banjeree) into admitting on video that he is a fraud and not a true Muslim. The other story has Leela Singh (Preeti Gupta) as a frustrated lesbian woman in New Delhi who has refused ten marriages arranged by her devout father (Adil Hussain), and finally runs away to meet her choice of lover … artist Sakhi (Bhavani Lee), whose current boyfriend finds Leela's passion comical – right up until he doesn't.A running theme for both story lines, as well as the numerous sub-plots, is specifically stated as "It's the choice we make when we are most cornered in life that define us". Solution through violence and torture is consistent through both stories, and as disgusting as the actions of terrorist Husain are, it's the actions of Leela's father that are the most stomach churning and confounding. There are a few shots taken at the power of Wall Street, but the actions of greed don't compare to the more severe and unforgivable actions driven by religious beliefs. The film was originally entitled "Blemished Light", but it's difficult to find illumination in this well-acted film that exposes clouded thought processes.
