Constant Gardener Movie.

The story in brief
British diplomat Justin Quayle, complacent raiser of freesias and doting husband of the stunning, much younger Tessa, has tended his own garden in Nairobi too long. Tessa is Justin's opposite, a fiery reformer, "that rarest thing, a lawyer who believes in justice," whose campaigns have earned her a nickname: "the Princess Diana of the African poor." But now Tessa has turned up naked, raped, and dead on a mysterious visit to remote Lake Turkana in Kenya. Her traveling companion (and lover?), the handsome Congolese-Belgian doctor Arnold Bluhm, has vanished. So has Quayle's complacency. Tessa had been compiling data against a multinational drug company that uses helpless Africans as guinea pigs to test a tuberculosis remedy with unfortunately fatal side effects. Her report was destroyed by her husband's superiors; was she? It's all somehow connected to the sinister British firm House of ThreeBees, whose ad boasts that it's "buzzy for the health of Africa!" John le Carré symbolically associates ThreeBees with an ominous buzz in the Nairobi morgue: "Over [the corpses], in a swaying, muddy mist, hung the flies, snoring on a single note."The home office tries to take Quayle in out of the cold. He cleverly eludes their clammy embrace, turns spy, and takes off on a global chase to avenge Tessa and solve her murder.

This movie has compeled me to start blogging again. There is so much happening around us and even though everyone knows that it is wrong but cos of our routine mechanical life we fail to see the impact of many issues. The movie is very much real and factual and Rachel weiz is a very beautiful and brave girl and does a wonderful job in portraying Tessa. She says that she would never take No for an answer and fights for the dying patients but in vain. Africa is such a beautiful country but the people are helpless because of the economy. In one shot there is this lush green golf field where the bigshots of the Pharma company are discussing and having fun and then the camera turns round where all the huts are made with tins and are completely cramped without any space. At the end the hero prefers to die so that he brings to light the people who were responsible for killing his wife and gets out the report on the pharma firm agaist which his wife was fighting. It is a very moving picture.
