In Bruges - One of the most intelligent movies of all times!!

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2011)

This movie has lots of amazing lessons:
1. Shows how criminals can have conscience too and how far they can go to preserve their moral principles. 'You've got to stick to your principles'.
2. Importance of being frank and honest about yourselves: No hypocrisy. No-one lies about their profession, even the prostitute. The dwarf rejects Ken's compliment about his 'girlfriend'.
3. How two people in the same profession can be so different: Ken and Ray are interested in completely different things.Ken in tourism and Ray in midgets.
4. How biases can affect your life negatively: Ray was so biased against the city even before visiting that he couldn't enjoy the sights. Similarly the American tourists were so biased against ken (because rob had called them elephants) that they didn't heed to his advice not to visit the bell-tower and the guy had a heart-attack.
5. Importance of not imposing one's beliefs on others: Scene in church between Ken and Ray where ken is super-excited about the church's artifact but Ray just says 'Do i have to (see it)?'.
6. Actions have consequences: Ray has to get off the train for beating the Canadian.
7. People like the bell-tower attendant are everywhere e.g. in government organizations. Strictly by the book and don't have any leeway for human exigencies.
Cinematography is amazing. Music is amazing too. A Must watch!!
