Animal Nation - The Mako Shark. The word shark and all that it stands for is the embodiment of one of our deepest fears, and while for some species this fear may be justified, today it is sharks in general that bare the brunt of our lack of knowledge, our fears and as a result, our persecution. This is the story of the warm-blooded Mako Shark, one of the closest living relatives of the notorious Great White Shark and believed by some to be highly intelligent, and far from a mindless killer. Two such people are marine biologist Craig Thorburn and film-maker Mike Bhana. Their quest to uncover the mysteries of this fascinating shark leads them out into the open ocean, away from the shelter of land, away from help and medical services and into the realm of the Mako Shark. Their decision to study and film the Mako proves to be a journey of discovery, of adventure and of danger. Scene Selection: 1. Working with Makos. 2. Tagging. 3. Cyclones Play Havoc. 4. Fast Learners. 5. Ringing The Dinner Bell.Drunken Angel. Dr Sanada (Takashi Shimuira), the drunken angel of the title, runs a clinic in the slums of Tokyo. When small-time hood Matsunaga (Toshiro Mifune) comes to his surgery after a gunfight Sanada diagnoses him with tuberculosis and convinces him to begin treatment. The disillusioned doctor feels that, by saving this young yakuza, he can retrieve a sense of his own lost youth and idealism. Thus they embark on a troubled friendship which is tested by the prejudices of the two and the release from prison of Matsunaga's mobster boss. Mifune, in his first major screen role, and Toho regular Shimura star together in a film which is part gangster, part melodrama and part social critique, establishing for the first time their dynamic relationship and the extraordinary on-screen chemistry which Kurosawa would explore further in films such as Stray Dog and Seven Samurai. Despite being Kurosawa's eighth feature, Drunken Angel was the director's first critical success and the first film in which he 'finally discovered (himself)'. The 'existential humanism' which made him famous is at the root of this extraordinary tale with the correlation between strength of spirit and physical well-being representing the two forces at work in post-war Japan.Paperback Hero.

The son and father come to know their real relationship , but the social values of the society keep them apart inspite of their liking of each other. The son wants his father to undo the wrong done to him and call him his son. The father burdened by his respectable image in society does not have courage enough to come out into the open and confess and own his son.

While the wrong values of the society condemn Hira the Laawaris he stands like a towering person at peace with his heart and soul to claim his rightful place in the sun for himself. And he is a Laawaris no more.Ali. Acclaimed director Michael Mann directs Academy Award nominated Will Smith in 'ALI'.
