Synopsis

A young white girl, Bobo, grows up on a farm outside Harara with her family with the Rhodesian Bush War as a background. In addition to the war, the family lives with the shadow of the death of the youngest daughter, who died in an accident drowning in a pond.
As the first free elections in Zimbabwe looms, the white Rhodesians drinks excessively and hope the moderate Bishop Muzorewa will win.
At the farm Bobo is closer to the black servant Sarah than any of her family and while they can not pass the thresholds to each other’s worlds, their affection for each is genuine, however Sarah is attacked by her people for it, and is close to death.
When Mugabe wins the election, the family realises their time is up and sells the farm to move to Zambia and Sarah goes back to her village.

Synopsis

Harry Potter, having decided to leave school with his friends Ron and Hermoine, goes camping in the English country side. While looking for tat to bring down Voldemort, they have their ops and downs.
In the end they go back to Hogswart where they are confronted by Voldemort and his followers. Everybody fights, several beloved characters die, but Harry prevails against Voldemort in the end.

Impressions

This was an emotional end of a long journey. Rowling do like to throw false leads against Harry and the reader, but it did feel that Snape was finally redeemed.
Several scenes stood out, the rescue of Luna (one of my favourite characters) and the death of Fred I think hit hardest, but I was also genuinely touched by Ron coming back to the quest. Altogether it felt very satisfying.

Synopsis

Leonardo DiCaprio is a washed up ex-revolutionary with a daughter he had with a fellow revolutionary who walked out on him. 16 years later military man (Sean Penn) with his own dreams and ambitions to join a white supremecy group call the The Christmas Adventures tracks them down and mayham ensures.

Impressions

Leonardo DiCaprio continues to impress as an actor. The film was bleakly funny. Definitely worth a watch.
Thematically it feels a little too on the nose politically, especially in the beginning, but as the film progressed it seemed to make a point out of both the revolutionary group and the white supremecists being a bit clown’ish.
