The great drama of balancing collateral damages versus the risk of inaction. Extremely well played by Helen Mirren and a fantastic supporting cast. The role of the military, the indecision and CYA attitude of the politicians, and the moral drama of the drone pilots, this film includes every element of the war on terrorism. And the way the plot unraveled makes it also a great thriller. Another dimension which is very well illustrated is the fantastic technology which we now have to combat terrorism. This technology did inspire the title of the movie: "eye in the sky". And beyond the drones, the film also reveals some other form of smaller eye in the skies technology which requires closer contact from the operators, this constitutes another element of the drama.

The Man Who Knew Infinity
(2015)
A master piece
3 March 2016
This is a wonderful movie which I hope will have a great success when it is released in the USA. I saw it at the Sun Valley Film Festival in March 2016 and it was by far the best movie I have ever seen in this festival. The story of this young Indian with a special gift for mathematics and who becomes a researcher at Cambridge Trinity college is by itself fascinating. The acting is superb with Jeremy Irons as a professor and mentor in one of his best performance ever. The film makes you feel the spirit of the place and the time (first world war England). Dev Patel is no longer the fun host of the Marigold Hotel but a great courageous young mathematician who beats old odds to become one of the major scientist of the 20th century. Please tell your friend to go and see this movie. They will thank you.
