The Media in this Modern World

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2007)

The Great Hellen Mirren HRH who I enjoyed in Prime Suspect does it well again. I happen to remember that summer of 1997 and the movie does remind us of the Diana Tragedy. But it is pin-pointed to that period only. My late Mother used to say that EIIR has more family Problems than ours. Maybe the Movie Diana has still to be made. If you did not remember that period the movie does little help. Also the subject of the Impact of the Media and Modern Telecom on Politics is a subject we live with every day. I remember that weekend when we were busy with other tragedies, (Lebanon, Suicide Bombers etc..). In this part of the World we ask What is going to take up the Headlines? Iraq? Darfur forgotten? Diana did not use a seat belt and they were trying, again, to get away from Paparachi. I see this a the universal subject of this well done movie.
