Film Hotel Mumbai Exposes the Ideology

Screening at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), the film Hotel Mumbai exposes the ideology behind terror attacks. Producer Anthony Maras, an American-Australian filmmaker, attended the premiere screening that I was also fortunate to attend. The film is based on the 2009 documentary Surviving Mumbai about the events that unfolded leading to the Mumbai terror attacks in 2008.

The reviews for Hotel Mumbai, which is scheduled to be released publicly in 2019, are very positive. Reviewers speak of the ‘human element’ and rightly so. Hotel Mumbai is very subtlety directed and produced, focusing on the victims and survivors of the horrendous terrorist attack referred to as “the 9/11 of Mumbai”. Nowhere in the film is there any mention of the country that the terrorists came from or the faith they belong to.

As well none of the reviews mention the mastermind behind the attacks – a man by the name of Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, the leader of a group associated with Lashkar-e-Tayyiba.  Lashkar-e-Tayyiba is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization responsible for the death of hundreds of innocent civilians in terrorist attacks. In January 2017, Saeed was placed under house arrest but released in November much to the dismay of the international community and especially India.

Graphic Violence Disclaimer:

Not Hotel Mumbai, there is another movie on the attack on the Hotel Mumbai, appropriately called "The attack of 26/11", an Indian movie, bloody, I will only leave the link and not post the video.. but to me, some of the scenes must really be like what some of these MOST savage attacks are like. I think one can watch almost the whole movie there, one might have to hunt down a few scenes...

I think this is scene one, illustrative and one can see the rest of the movie from there..

I think it's very illustrative, these people really do just hunt people down.... so I think the pros outweigh the negatives of posting this here.

"Eros Now" appears to be the film company.  If this is too strong, feel free to delete. It seems especially timely today.  And it can strike almost anywhere at anytime.  The terrorists came in from the sea, that's the first scene of the movie and commandeered a commercial ship.
